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 Grand Hero Battle, Astram 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 Astram are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd combined with Wind Boost 3 and the effects of Mercurius stat allows Astram to get a ton of heavy-hitting follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His Res 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 Astram to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, he can reach 43 Spd at max meges. At that range, he can nail follow-up attacks on most folks if he is supported by allied buffs.

Astram Best Builds

Distant Counter Astram

HOT
： Mercurius ： Reposition ： Ruptured Sky ： -	： Distant Dart ： Spurn 4 ： Joint Drive Spd ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A premium build for Astram that will allow him to counterattack regardless of distance. Spurn 3 will reduce the damage he takes and increases the damage he deals from his Special, while Joint Drive Spd and Atk/Spd Solo will increase his overall firepower.
You can opt for another low cooldown Special like Moonbow if you lack Ruptured Sky, or use Aether when using him in the Arena.

Ideal Astram

HOT
： Mercurius ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -	： Atk/Spd Ideal 4 ： Spurn 3 ： Joint Drive Spd ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build drops Distant Dart in favor of additional bonuses. Atk/Spd Ideal will always be active assuming Mercurius triggers at the start of the turn. This build can be created on a budget through using Divine Codes.

Astram Best Weapon Refine

Astram's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Mercurius	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Grants Atk+3. At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn (bonus granted to unit even if no allies are within 2 spaces.) At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X = 4 + highest bonus on each stat between unit and allies within 3 spaces; calculates each stat bonus independently). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Mercurius

Astram's refine offers mostly stat buffs to himself and allies within two spaces.

This refine functions by having nearby allies, making him reliant on allies to trigger the boosts from his weapons.

Astram Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Astram Roles

Astram - Midia's Hero 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

Astram is a close 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.

Astram Strengths

Powerful, Easy-to-use Team Buff

Mercurius grants Astram and all physical allies within 2 spaces +4 to all stats if his HP ≥ 50%. The effect is applied to him even if he does not have allies to share it with. It is a very strong buff. Thus, you should aim to keep it on most of the time by pairing Astram with a healer.

Wrath Speeds-up Special Cooldown

Wrath 3 speeds-up Astram's special cooldown and grants +10 pure damage to him whenever his special is activated. If you stick with Astram's native special, Bonfire, you will be able to shred through most enemies including those that boast a high Def stat.

Astram Weaknesses

Low Res

Astram's Res only sits at 18 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Astram's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
