Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Klein are +Atk and -Res. Klein has weapons that effectively makes use of Atk because they allow him to attack twice. Thus, a +Atk IV is best in boosting his ability to take enemies out. He has low defenses, but taking a bane in Res would make his defenses balanced, which is ideal so it is the best bane you can take.

Klein Best Builds

Refined - Solo Mixed Phase Klein

： Argent Bow ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Atk/Spd Solo 4 ： Quick Riposte 3 ： Rouse Atk/Spd 3 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Instead of going all out on player phase power, this build aims to make Klein viable in both phases. As long as he is not adjacent to allies, he can dish out tons of damage in both phases. You can also go for a Special with a higher cooldown like Luna or Deadeye. If you choose that route, you should strongly consider getting Time's Pulse 3.

Refined - Special Spiral Klein

HOT
： Argent Bow ： Draw Back ： Luna ： -	： Death Blow 4 ： Special Spiral 3 ： Joint Hone Atk ： Death Blow 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

After Klein's first Special activation, Special Spiral 3 kicks in, and he will be able to activate Luna everytime he initiates combat. Try to avoid enemy phase engagements, though.

Klein Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Klein's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Argent Bow	SP: 400
Might: 8　Range: 2　HP: Effective against flying foes. Inflicts Spd-2. If unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice. At start of turn, inflicts Def-7 on foe on the enemy team with the highest Def through its next action. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Argent Bow

It grants an effect identical to Chill Def 3. It might feel lackluster at first glance, but you have to take note that Argent Bow is an upgraded Brave Bow+ that is capable of effectively exploiting a -7 Def on an enemy. Because of its synergy with Argent Bow, it is a must to get this upgrade if you plan on using Klein in the long run. A -7 Def that is always active regardless of Klein's positioning should not be underestimated.

Klein Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Klein Roles

Klein - Silver Nobleman Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Klein is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Klein Strengths

Weapon is an Upgraded Brave Bow with Chill Def built-in

Klein's most powerful weapon, the Argent Bow, is basically an upgraded Brave Bow+. It deals more damage and it has a lower penalty to Spd. It also has access to a special effect refine which grants a built-in effect identical to Chill Def 3. You can read more about the effect in the weapon refine section. Conveniently, Klein's default kit includes Death Blow 3 which works extremely well with Argent Bow! This makes Klein a high-powered physical attacker so make sure to get that special effect refine.

Solid Enemy Phase Capabilities

Klein has access to Quick Riposte 3 which means as long as he is at 70% HP or above, he will score a follow-up attack when attacked in the enemy phase. This means he has means of scoring dealing huge damage on both phases. This further justifies our recommendation for a +Atk IV!

Klein Weaknesses

Difficult to make use of Quick Riposte 3

Klein requires to be attacked and stay at least at 70% HP in order for Quick Riposte 3 to activate. Because of his low defenses and the Spd penalty from Argent Bow, it might be difficult to activate Quick Riposte 3. We recommend that you do not fully rely on this skill when dealing damage with Klein. If posible, replace this skill entirely. Please check out our builds section to find out more.
