Faye Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (16) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (17) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (3) Spd Bane ★★☆☆☆
Def (4) Def Bane ★★★★☆
Res (7) No Res IV ★★★★★

◯ = 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.

+Res/-Spd

The best IVs for Faye are +Res and -Spd. A +Res IV helps her in tanking magic attacks in the enemy phase, a niche where she does well in. Her Spd is low and quite unreliable. She does not rely on Spd to score follow-up attacks as her special effect refine does that for her. This means that you can safely take Spd as a superbane.

Faye Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Faye's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Effective against flying foes. If foe initiates combat and uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat.
If unit's HP ≥ 50% and foe initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow up attack.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Bow of Devotion

Faye's kit is centered on the enemy phase and picking up this special effect refine definitely helps with that. Since the original effect of Bow of Devotion already leads her into baiting attacks from enemies, the special effect refine that grants a Quick Riposte effect definitely helps! It patches Faye's weakness of not being able to score frequent follow-up attacks allowing her to deal lots of damage in the enemy phase. Take note that the trigger condition for this Quick Riposte effect is even easier to activate than Quick Riposte 3 as it only requires at least 50% HP to activate. You will surely have no trouble staying in the HP range considering Faye's bulk and that she has heals are coming from Noontime.

Faye is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Faye Strengths

Bow of Devotion is a great weapon in the enemy phase

You can read about Bow of Devotion's effects and impact on Faye's kit in the special effect refine section. In short, Bow of Devotion grants bonus stats and guaranteed follow-up attacks to Faye in the enemy phase. This is an effect far from her other weapon, the Firesweep Bow+, which makes her a player phase threat.

Prevents Counterattacks with Firesweep Bow+

Firesweep Bow+ makes Faye a useful player phase unit as it prevents enemies from scoring counterattacks against her. The downside to this is that she too can not score counterattacks on enemies. Take note that she has a weapon that is very different from Firesweep Bow+ in Bow of Devotion. The former makes her a player phase exclusive unit and the latter turns her into a enemy phase threat as discussed above. Know the ins and outs of both bows and pick a bow to use according to the situations you plan to use Faye in!

Level up Sword Allies with Bow Exp.

Her C skill Bow Exp. is useful for training other units. As long as she survives, bow allies gain extra exp., meaning she can help you train allies more efficiently.

Be sure to replace this skill if you plan to use Faye in high-level combat situations though! Check out our builds for Faye!

Faye Weaknesses

Hard to deal damage in some situations

Bow of Devotion is the only bow in Faye's base kit that helps her deal more damage. Noontime does not provide extra damage nor does Wings of Mercy and Bow Exp.

Unfortunately, Bow of Devotion's effects, including the special effect refine, only works in the enemy phase. This makes her unable to dish-out consistent damage in the player phase. This is compounded by her low Spd making her unable to score frequent follow-up attacks. Pair her up with a player phase powerhouse such as Reinhardt or Brave Lyn to help patch this weakness.

Oh! Well, it’s you, isn’t it, {Summoner}.
My eyes light up every time I turn a corner around here, hoping that I’ll see you-know-who.
And, you know? You’re not Alm, but you don’t have to be. At least, not anymore.
Funny how people can be so stuck on someone...that they don’t see what’s right there.
I know you’d think I’m the last one to ever say something like that. But it’s true.
I have proof. See? I’m working on a good-luck charm for you. Thought of you with every stitch.
Does it look good? Do you like it? I hope so. You mean a lot to me, so I really want it to be great!
