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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Jamke will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Res are +Atk and -Res. This raises the amount of damage he deals and it makes it easier for him to activate Heavy Blade 3. His Res is of less importance so it can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Jamke to 10. At +10 Merges, Jamke' Atk will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Spd IV instead to help him take less follow-up attacks and allow him to make some follow-up attacks on his own. Follow-up attacks also speed up special activation.

At max merges, he reaches 39 Spd so he still needs some dragonflowers and/or allied support to consistenly nail follow-up attacks. Though this is a range wherein it will be hard for enemy units to score follow-up attacks on him even without support.

Jamke Best Builds

Brave Bow Jamke

： Brave Bow+ ： Draw Back ： Moonbow ： -

： Death Blow 4 ： Lull Atk/Def 3 ： Joint Hone Atk ： Quickened Pulse ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a Brave Bow+ set for Jamke. By taking a low-cooldown Special like Moonbow and Quickened Pulse in the Seal slot, he can land a Special in his first engagement.

Budget Jamke

： Slaying Bow+ ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Death Blow 3 ： Swordbreaker 3 ： Def Smoke 3 ： Quickened Pulse ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A very inexpensive build for Jamke that builds upon Slaying Bow+. You can also turn this into a premium build by getting Death Blow 4, A Lull skill and a Joint Hone, Joint Drive, or a Cavalry-specific buff.

Refined Bow of Verdane Jamke

HOT
： Bow of Verdane ： Reposition ： Deadeye ： -	： Flashing Blade 4 ： Lull Spd/Def 3 ： Time's Pulse 3 ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build takes full advantage of refined Bow of Verdane's Desperation effect by accelerating Deadeye's cooldown through Flashing Blade and triggering it immediately on Jamke's second attack in combat.

Jamke Best Weapon Refine

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Bow of Verdane	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 during combat, and also, if unit initiates combat, grants effects to unit based on the value of unit's Spd minus foe's Spd: If ≥ 3, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. If ≥ 7, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack. ：500　：200

We strongly recommend the Special Effect Refine for Bow of Verdane

Bow of Verdane's special refine grants Jamke an additional Atk/Spd+5 during combat and grants effects based on the value of Jamke's Spd minus his foe's Spd:

• If ≥ 3, Jamke makes a guaranteed follow-up attack
• If ≥ 7 Jamke can make a follow-up attack before his foe can counterattack

This refine allows Jamke to attack his opponents twice and eliminate them before he even receives a single attack from them, ensuring his safety!

This refine is clearly better than simple stat bonus refines and is the refine of choice.

Jamke Strengths

Slaying Bow and Heavy Blade synergy

Jamke's weapon, the Slaying Bow+, accelerates his special trigger (cooldown count -1). Additionally, Heavy Blade can shorten the time it takes to activate his special. With this skill, he receives special cooldown charge +1 per attack if his Atk is greater than the foe's.

These two are a great fit for Jamke's native special, Astra, as it has a very high special cooldown of 4. In ideal conditions, Astra will almost always take any unit out as it boosts Jamke's damage by 150%.

Cancel Affinity 3 Counters Blárraven

Cancel Affinity 3 is a hard counter to Raven Tomes. Raven Tomes grant weapon advantage over colorless units, but Cancel Afiinity 3 neutralizes it. In addition to that, Jamke's colorless attacks are not strong against any type so the drawback of Cancel Affinity 3 does not apply to him.

Jamke Weaknesses

Hard to score follow-up attacks!

If Heavy Blade 3 triggers and Jamke is using Slaying Bow+, Astra can be activated easily by attacking an enemy, receiving a counterattack and performing a follow-up attack, however, Jamke has a pretty mediocre Spd stat of 32 at Lv. 40. This makes it hard for Jamke to activate Asta on a follow-up attack.

Astra combined with his skills might seem good on paper, but his Spd does not allow him to reap its full potential. This is why we recommend running other builds with Jamke instead. Astra plus his base kit could skill work, but make sure you invest merges, dragonflowers and apply Spd buffs so that he gets a chance to score follow-up attacks.

Low Res

Jamke's Res only sits at 17 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Jamke's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out. Make use of his cavalry mobility in order to achieve superior positioning.
