Sothis Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (22) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (9) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (6) 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/-HP

The best IVs for Sothis are +Spd and -HP. With a higher Spd stat, Sothis is capable of landing even more follow-up attacks, and the power of her special skill will increase as well. HP is of less importance, so it can be safely taken as a bane.

Sothis Best Builds

Sustain Sothis

HOT
Special Skill IconSirius+
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This Sothis build uses Atk/Spd Pledge to reliably trigger Sirius in combat. Together with Atk/Spd Finish 4, this provides ample sustain to keep Sothis alive.

Budget Sothis

Special Skill IconSirius+
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a low investment build for Sothis. Since her default skills already have good synergy, this build simply increases its utility by slapping on extra Atk/Spd on the Sacred Seal slot.

Dragon's Wrath Sothis

HOT
Special Skill IconSirius+
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a seemingly standard Sothis build but Dragon's Wrath 4 replaces Wrath 3. The skill gets you damage reduction and Atk-based bonus damage all in one.

Sothis Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Sothis's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3
Neutralizes "effective against dragons" bonuses. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40%.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sublime Surge

Refined Sublime Surge grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 during combat and 40% damage reduction on the foe's first attack.

It's not much compared to modern day refines, but it is still better than any other option Sothis has.

Sothis is a close magic attacker. Therefore, the damage she gives is equal to her Atk minus the foe's Res when the effects of the weapon triangle are not considered. Additionally, she can reduce the rate at which your lift decreases when defending in Aether Raids.

Sothis is a Mythic Hero who will also give you a Dark Blessing when summoned. During Dark Season, Sothis's allies who also have a Dark Blessing will receive a HP+5 and Res+5 to their stats, increasing the party's usability.

Sothis Strengths

Exclusive weapon that can nullify anti-dragon bonuses and counterattack from any range

Sothis's Exclusive Weapon Sublime Surge can nullify enemy bonuses that are effective against dragons. Powerful units like Fallen Tiki and Alm who are normally dragon counters will have their strength cancelled out so that they only deal normal damage to Sothis. Additionally, she can counterattack from any range, allowing her to turn the tables on ranged attackers trying to safely attack from a distance.

Powerful and easy to activate special skill

Sirius+, Sothis's exclusive special skill, will deal an additional 35% of her Spd stat as damage, and it will additionally allow her to recover 35% of the damage dealt. It also has the offensive half of Tempo which neutralizes effects that slow down her Special charges.

With its short cooldown of 2, the effects of Wrath and Time's Pulse will allow her to use her special from the start of each turn when her HP is below 75%.

Gains a major Atk and Spd bonus

Atk/Spd Solo 3 grants Sothis a huge bonus of Atk/Spd+6 when there are no adjacent allies. This stat boost allows her to make use of her other skills and easily take down opposing foes.

Sothis Weaknesses

Res is rather low, making her susceptible to magic attackers

Sothis's base Res stat is only 27, meaning she is not great against magic attackers, and in particular, blue mages and dragons can easily sweep her. You will need to have an ally support her Res stat and generally kep her out of range from other magic attackers.

Subpar Refine

Sothis received a mild refine to her Sublime Surge compared to other modern day refines. This leaves her out of luck for any future improvements and will be reliant on new inheritable skills to push her up to par with metagame units.

Inheriting Atk/Spd Solo or Time's Pulse

Sothis can be used to inherit the skills Atk/Spd Solo 3 or Time's Pulse. However, as a powerful Dark Mystic Hero that can be used in Aether Raids, we recommend keeping at least one Sothis before foddering off any duplicates.

I wish y'all would give more details on these upgraded units (for ppl like myself who weren't playing this game for too long). She was upgraded & given a better version of her special, & another B skill, but i don't know which was her original skill, & which is the newer skill. Wrath seems not to work well with a special that regains HP, so i imagine that was the initial skill? Null counter doesn't seem much better, but at least it works on her at all times. I'm assuming that was the upgrade?

Wait, you're boasting that she ignores weapons that kill dragons and then warns that she's weak against units that kill dragons? Sublime Surge negates any 'effective against dragons' effects. Razing Breath is ignored, and is explicitly mentioned for it, so there's no reason Divine Mist wouldn't be too lol. Not that blue magic damage isn't an issue, but the weapon still won't benefit from the dragon killer status
