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.

+Atk/-Spd

Halloween Hector's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. With one of the top Atk stats of all heroes in the game, H!Hector can get an even bigger boost to his power with his +4 boon in Atk. Since his Spd is already very low to begin with, this is the ideal dump stat for him.

Halloween Hector Best Builds

Special Fighter Halloween Hector

HOT
： Conjurer Curios ： Swap ： Noontime ： -	： Distant Counter ： Special Fighter 3 ： A/R Far Save 3 ： Quick Riposte 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build revolves around Special Fighter. Hector's Noontime count will descrease while slowing down enemy specials, and combined with Quick Riposte, he will be excellent at tanking attacks from foes. Conjurer Curios will increase H!Hector's stats on odd turns, so be sure and tank attacks primarily when this bonus is active.

Budget Halloween Hector

： Conjurer Curios ： Pivot ： Bonfire ： -

： Distant Counter ： Odd Follow-Up 3 ： Hone Armor ： Warding Stance 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a basic build for H!Hector. Equipping him with the seal Warding Stance will allow him to tank even more magic attacks in the enemy phase. Conjurer Curios and Odd Follow-Up are both active on the same turns, so be sure and take note of the current turn number each time.

Halloween Hector Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Halloween Hector's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Conjurer Curios	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Effective against armored foes. Grants Atk+3. If it is an odd-numbered turn or foe's HP < 100% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack by X%. (If foe can make a follow-up attack, X = 60; otherwise, X = 30.) At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def during combat = 10% of unit's Atk at start of combat, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Conjurer Curios

Refined Conjurer Curios adds an alternate condition of having a foe at less than full health when triggering, making it reliable throughout any turn.

It grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8 to Halloween Hector, grants damage reduction on his foe's first attack, inflicts an Atk/Def penalty onto his foe, and heals him for 7 HP after combat.

These effects influence combat directly and make Halloween Hector a stronger unit, and is worth the refining investment.

Halloween Hector Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Hector Roles

Hector - Dressed-Up Duo 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

H!Hector 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.

Duo Skill Usable in Arenas

H!Hector's Duo Skill raises his arena score, in addition to unleashing a powerful battle effect. Duo Heroes have a Duo Skill which can be used once per map. Additionally, his Duel effect treats his stats as 185 in Arena modes, giving him a huge advantage over many other heroes.

The effect of Hector's Duo Skill is shown below

Deals 20 damage to foes within 3 columns centered on unit.
(Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1: Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 185, treats unit's stats as 185 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Halloween Hector Strengths

Duo skill can inflict heavy area damage

H!Hector's Duo Skill allows him to deal 20 damage to foes within 3 columns of him. As long as the foes are within these columns, damage will be dealt to them regardless of whether they are close or far, and since he can skill move after using this skill, it is extremely good.

Duel effect if very useful in Arenas

H!Hector has the Standard Duo effect Duel. This is very useful in Arena Battles, because it will allow you to match with more powerful enemies, and the score you gain when defeating them will be even higher. Combined with his Duo Skill, he is extremely useful and easy to use in Arena Battles.

Can counterattack from any distance with Distant Counter

H!Hector has the skill Distant Counter by default, so he can counterattack against ranged foes. Since he can counterattack foes with tomes, bows, and daggers, it means taht he does excellent in the enemy phase, where he can tank most ranged attacks and then finish off the attacker with a heavy blow.

Very powerful bonus on odd numbered turns

H!Hector's weapon skill Conjurer Curios will give him +4 to all stats during combat on odd-numbered turns. Odd Follow-Up 3 will also grant a guaranteed follow-up attack on odd-numbered turns while preventing the foe's follow-up attack. Together, these skills make H!Hector extremely potent in combat on odd-numbered turns.

Halloween Hector Weaknesses

Weak to armor effective weapons

As an armored unit, H!Hector will struggle against units with armor-effective weapon skills like Armorslayer or Hammer. Be sure to check what weapons your foes are using beforehand.
