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

The best IVs for Sirius are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Sirius to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His Res of is less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane. Be wary as this is a superbane! Get that merge as fast as possible to eliminate it.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Sirius to 10. At +10 Merge Sirius' Spd will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, considering he has access to Atk/Spd Solo 3 & Lull Atk/Spd 3. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Atk IV instead to help him deal more raw damage with the numerous follow-up attacks he will be landing.

Sirius Best Builds

Budget Sirius

： Sable Lance ： Reposition ： Luna ： -

： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： Lull Atk/Spd 3 ： Hone Atk 3 ： Brazen Atk/Def 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A budget build for Sirius that grants bulk and bite for both phases of the game.

Heavy Galeforce Sirius

： Sable Lance ： Ardent Sacrifice ： Galeforce ： -

： Atk/Spd Solo 4 ： Desperation 3 ： Rouse Atk/Def 3 ： Heavy Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a Galeforce set for Sirius that relies on Solo Atk buffs to trigger Heavy Blade 3 for consistent Galeforce activations. Since he will be trading hits, he will be conveniently in Desperation 3 range so Summoners might was well take advantage. Ardent Sacrifice is also taken to provide him with another mechanic to safely go into Desperation range.

Riposte Counter Sirius

： Sable Lance ： Reposition ： Glimmer ： -

： Distant Counter ： Quick Riposte 3 ： Rouse Atk/Def 3 ： Close Def 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a simple, and relatively cheap build for Sirius that aims to make him a threat in the enemy phase. Distant Counter and Quick Riposte 3 allow him to dish lots of damage to a wide range of foes when attacked.

Sirius Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Sirius's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Sable Lance	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat × 2, + 4; max 10), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30%. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sable Lance

Refined Sable Lance grants scaling stat bonuses, a full Null Follow-Up effect, and 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack.

The Null Follow-Up effect alone is worth refining Sable Lance for, and the bonus stats are also appreciated.

Sirius Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Sirius Roles

Sirius - Mysterious Knight 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

Sirius 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.

Sirius Strengths

Very strong solo unit

Atk/Spd Solo 3 grants him an Atk/Spd boost in combat if he is not adjacent to an ally. Sable Lance on the other hand grants an all-stat boost with the same trigger condition. Together, these 2 skills grant him +10 Atk/Spd +4 Def/Res. This is a massive boost and the trigger condition is very easy to meet. If you need more boosts, these buffs completely stack with buffs like Hone Cavalry and Goad Cavalry.

In addition, Sable Lance also accelerates his special trigger by 1 counter. This puts Luna on a cooldown of 2.

Casts penalties on enemy Atk and Spd

Sirius has the B skill Lull Atk/Spd, which will inflict Atk/Spd-3 on a foe in combat, and nullify bonuses to those stats. This will decrease foes' damage and Sirius' rate of follow-up attacks, and it has the powerful property of nulliying Atk/Spd buffs.

Another reason why this skill is great is because Atk/Spd buffs are very common in the game. This is because Atk/Spd are the most important stats on an offensive unit.

Sirius Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Sirius takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
