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 Tempest Trials, Summer Ylgr will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Summer Ylgr are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Summer Ylgr to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. This also protects her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her Res is very low and is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Summer Ylgr to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At this point, she will be able to reach a Spd of 43—a fair value which allows her to score follow-up attacks on a wide range of units if she has ample from allies!

Summer Ylgr Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Ylgr Roles

Ylgr - Breaking the Ice 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

Summer Ylgr is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Summer Ylgr's Strengths

Has Offensive and Defensive Buffs

Shoreline Rake gives Summer Ylgr +4 Atk/Def whenever she is buffed by skills like Rally and Hone. Even Def Wave 3 gives a +6 Def to both Summer Ylgr and adjacent allies in even-numbered turns. These provide Summer Ylgr with a mix of both offensive and defensive ability.

Special is Easy to Activate

Since Summer Ylgr has the skill Flashing Blade which lowers the cooldown of Specials by 1 if Summer Ylgr's Spd is more than it's targets, it is easy for her to activate Specials. This boosts Summer Ylgr's offensive capability because she can activate the powerful Special, Luna.

Summer Ylgr's Weaknesses

Weak Against Magic Attacks

Summer Ylgr has low Res stat. If she is attacked by a magic attacker, she will take high damage. Always be mindful of Summer Ylgr's positioning in relation to the enemies who pose a threat to her.
