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 / -Def

The best IVs for Genny are +Atk and -Def. Genny's high Atk stat is her selling point as a healer and should be prioritized, as she can be used offensively in a pinch.

Genny's Spd, while rather low at base 25, is enough to outspeed and double the slow metagame-relevant heroes. As such, we opted for a Def bane instead.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Genny up to +10 to maximize her damage output whenever attacking is necessary.

Genny Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Genny's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Springtime Staff	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Grants Atk+3. Foe cannot counterattack. After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts 【Gravity】on target and foes within 1 space of target. 【Gravity】 Restricts target's movement to 1 space through its next action. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+5 to unit during combat. Restores 7 HP to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit after combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Springtime Staff

The special effect refine allows Genny to hit harder when kiting, and it grants a built-in effect identical to Breath of Life 3. This allows her to both kite enemies, and heal allies when doing so! Since the Atk/Res buff and the heal can also be activated, you can definitely bait opponents to attack her. Make sure they won't take her out, though! The Res bonus will definitely help in surviving these attacks.

Genny Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Genny Roles

Genny - Endearing Ally 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

Genny is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Genny Strengths

Can be used as both an attacker and support unit

Staff attackers have the drawback of having their attack power halved during combat, but with the default B skill Wrathful Staff 3, Genny is able to deal damage from her staff like normal weapons. This means Genny has the power to play both a support role as well as a long ranged attack role in your party.

Springtime Staff limits enemy movement

Genny's exclusive weapon, Springtime Staff, grants Atk+3 and has built in Dazzling Staff 3.

Refined Springtime Staff grants Genny Atk/Res+5 during combat, applies 【Gravity】 to her target foe and all foes within 1 space of the target foe after combat, and restores 7 HP to herself and her nearby allies after combat.

This exclusive weapon doubles as both an offensive and supportive weapon, allowing Genny to still provide healing whenever she attacks.

Access to weapon upgrades that boost her effectiveness!

Genny's staff can be upgraded in the weapon refinery to have a built-in effect. Your 2 choices are either the Wrathful Staff 3 or the Dazzling Staff 3 effects. Since Genny already has the former, it would be very efficient to go for the latter. This will make her not only hit hard, but also safe from the dangers of counterattacks. At this point and with some strategy, she and her allies can definitely tear apart many Arena line ups.

If you have access to Springtime Staff, then you have the option to get her special effect refine. The refine makes her hit hard when kiting opponents, and it heals her allies everytime she exits combat.

Genny Weaknesses

Low Spd leading to lackluster physical defense

Genny has very low Spd. This makes her susceptible to follow-up attacks. Coupled with the fact that she has very low Def, she can be easily taken out by physical units. Please be mindful when using Absorb+ against enemy units that can counterattack her. If you plan to use her in the long run, we recommend getting the weapon upgrade talked about above immediately.

Cannot equip powerful offensive skills

For someone like Genny who sports both Gravity+ and Wrathful Staff 3 by default, it would be perfect if she could inherit powerful offensive skills like Fury 4 or Life and Death 4. Unfortunately, she can not learn these skills for game balance purposes.
