Byleth (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★☆☆☆
Atk (28) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (8) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (8) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (3) 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.

+Spd/-Res

M!Byleth's best IVs are + Spd and -Res. With his super boon in Spd, a Spd asset will give him a Spd stat of 42, meaning that follow-up attacks wil be practically guaranteed. His low Res stat is best used as a dump stat, so a Res bane is ideal.

M!Byleth is a close ranged physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Byleth (M)'s Strengths

Exclusive weapon has Null Follow-Up built into it

M!Byleth's exclusive weapon skill, Creator Sword, has the effect of Null Follow-Up. This will allow him to reduce the damage taken from foes with skills like Bold Fighter and Quick Riposte, and will also allow him to make a follow-up attack even against foes with the skill Wary Fighter.

Can neutralize skills that change special cooldown

Creator Sword will also prevent any enemy skill from slowing down or speeding up a special's cooldown or speeding up. This means that he can nullify Flashing Blade or Heavy Blade and use his special without being affected by Special Fighter or Guard.

Low cooldown special that is effective on dragons and beasts

Byleth's special skill Ruptured Sky will boost damage by 40% of a foe's Atk if they are a dragon or beast. When his HP drops to 75%, Byleth will be able to use the effects of Wrath and Ruptured Sky together to get a guaranteed special, which allows him to deal heavy damage to characters like Tibarn or Duma.

Can counterattack from any range

M!Byleth has the ever-useful A slot skill Distant Counter, which allows him to counterattack any foe, regardless of their range. As long as the foe does not have skills to prevent a counterattack like Dazzling Staff, he should be able to return fire to any foe.

Byleth (M)'s Weaknesses

Low Res stat

Byleth has a base Res stat of a mere 20, so even with Distant Counter, it is easy for him to fall to a magic attack before haveing a chance to retaliate. Use a combination of Sacred Seals and support units to prevent this.

4 comments, but shows 0... 🤦🏼‍♂️ If u are going to copy/paste, at least change the references to "F!Byleth" & the wrath skill, which this character doesn't have. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I'm beginning to see why so many people tell me not to use this site because it seems lazy & is full of outdated or incorrect information...
