Ewan Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (16) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (19) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (7) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (4) Def Boon ★★☆☆☆
Res (5) Res Boon ★★★★☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk/-Def

The best IVs for Ewan are +Atk and -Def. A +Atk IV helps him deal more damage to enemies. His mediocre Def stat is of less importance to him and thus it is safe to take Def as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Ewan to +10. With +10 Merges, his Atk stat will reach 54 and pushing it beyond this level is pointless. It would be better if Ewan took a +Spd IV instead to help him trigger more follow-up attacks and make him less susceptible to follow-up attacks. With a +Spd IV at +10 merges, he will reach a decent level of 40 Spd.

Ewan Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Ewan's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
If unit initiates combat or foe's Range=2, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30%, and neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Res during combat.
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Res= 20% of unit's Res at start of combat, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Pupil's Tome

Refined Pupil's Tome grants bonus stats, a guaranteed follow-up attack, 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack, Atk/Res debuff neutralization, and Atk/Res penalties on foe during combat equal to 20% of Ewan's visible Res.

This effect aids Ewan both offensively and defensively and is worth using above any of his other tome options.

Ewan is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Ewan Strengths

Buff When Attacked by Ranged Foes

Rauðrserpent+ has the same effects as Distant Def 3. This buffs Ewan's defenses whenever he is attacked by ranged units. Since he also has access to Swift Stance 2, he can make for a decent magic tank or at least magic bait that can be used in Aether Raids to lure out defensive units.

Can cast a penalty on foes standing adjacent to eachother

Ewan's B Skill Sabotage Spd will cast a Spd penalty on foes that are adjacent to another foe and have a Res stat that is 3 or lower than Ewan's. This skill works well when foes are grouped together in a map, and will allow Ewan and his allies to score more follow-up attacks.

Ewan Weaknesses

Low Def

Ewan's Def only sits at 23 at Lv. 40. Even though he can reduce damage from bows and daggers using his skills, you should still pay attention to melee physical attackers that can easily take down Ewan.

Under Ewan's strengths & weaknesses, y'all refer to him as "her" & "she", but the game says it's Tethys's brother, FYI. I'm sure it's a mistake, because it's"he/his" everywhere else in the article.
