Bow Hinoka Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superboon ★★☆☆☆
Atk (20) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (12) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (4) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (7) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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 Bow Hinoka are +Atk and -Res. A higher Atk stat allows Hinoka to take out other flying and armored units more effectively. You can also go for a +Spd stat if you prefer scoring or avoiding follow-up attacks. Since she can afford to take some ponts off Res, it is a fitting bane for her as to not harm her Def even more.

Bow Hinoka Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Bow Hinoka's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Effective against flying and armored foes. Grants Spd+3. Grants Atk/Spd+4 to allies within 2 spaces during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+4 to unit during combat.
Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-4 on foes within 3 spaces during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Warrior Princess

It is a straightforward effect that inflicts a debuff on enemies. The debuff greatly improves matchups when using physical units and since it is applied even if Hinoka does not take part in combat, it can be used for supporting allies too!

Combined with the Atk boost from the default effect of Warrior Princess, Flier Formation 3, and Flier Guidance 3, Bow Hinoka can be conveniently ran as a flier support! You would only need to pay for the special effect refine and a get Sacred Seal of choice to make this build work.

Check out The builds for Bow Hinoka, as we have 2 support builds for her if you want to run her that way.

Bow Hinoka Strengths

Warrior Princess is strong against armored units and it can also be ran as a support skill

Bow Hinoka vs Surtr.jpg

Warrior Princess is effective not only against flying units, but also armored units as well! This allows Hinoka to be a great match-up against powerful armored units such as Surtr and Idunn!

It also has a built-in effect similar to Drive Atk! It Grants +3 Atk to allies within 2 spaces during combat. Additionally, it will have access to a powerful debuff if you choose to get the special effect refine. At that point, Bow Hinoka can be run as an effective fighter-support hybrid!

Atk/Spd Bond Increases Offensive Power

Atk/Spd Bond 3 increases Bow Hinoka's Atk and Spd by +5 if she is adjacent to an ally. Since it is an in-combat buff, it stacks with other combat buffs. This makes Bow Hinoka high-powered, but not susceptible to panics and chills. This, of course, stacks with the Drive Atk effects of Warrior Princess.

Flier Formation 3 grants extra mobility

Flier Formation 3 allows Bow Hinoka to move to spaces that are adjacent to units 2 squares away. This allows Bow Hinoka to potentially jump from unit to unit and help them through attacking nearby foes or by triggering skills that require an adjacent ally. This skill provides lots of strategic value if you are using at least two other flying units aside from Bow Hinoka.

Flier Guidance 3 synergizes well with Flier Formation 3

Combined with Flier Formation 3, Flier Guidance 3 allows Bow Hinoka and all of her allies to bounce around each other while enjoying the benefits of flying movement! This makes Bow Hinoka's presence in an all-flying party very important as she brings ton of mobility into the team.

Bow Hinoka Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Bow Hinoka takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
Heroes with Effective Skills

Low Def

Bow Hinoka's Def only sits at 17 at Lv. 40. This further magnifies her weaknesses to co-bow units. Be wary of counterattacks from physical units! Remember that taking attacks from magical units is a different story as her Res is at a fair 29!

You sure put in a hard day’s work in that last battle. I’ve gotta say, it’s impressive watching you out there!
Heh, my fighting was worthy of a warrior princess? Aw, shucks. Thanks for saying! Although…
I wasn’t always a warrior like I am now. When I was younger, I was more like a typical little girl.
But then, something...happened... And afterward, I decided I would learn how to fight.
Ever since, I’ve been training to hone my battle skills. And I’m glad I did, too!
Otherwise, I’d have never been summoned here, and I’d never have the chance to fight by your side.
Heh, I should be sending a thank-you note to my past self.
Umm... Well, that was all a little embarrassing to say out loud, so I’m gonna go for a stroll in the sky.
And you’re coming with!
