Gentle Dream+ Range: 1 Grants another action to target ally.

Peony Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (16)		★★★☆☆
Atk (19)		★★★★☆
Spd (8)		★★★★★
Def (3)		★★★☆☆
Res (8)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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/-Res

Peony's best IVs are+Spd and -Res. With a Spd boon, her Spd stat reaches 39, allowing her to both avoid follow-up attacks from most enemies while also becoming able to gain many of her own. With a super low Def stat and superbanes in both HP and Def, you should avoid these flaws at any cost, making -Res the ideal bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge Project

If you are trying to merge Peony to +10, +Spd is the ideal boon. At +10 merges, Peony will have a Spd stat of 43, letting her gain follow-up attacks on even more foes. If you plan on buffing her Spd through other skills or team buffs, etc, +Atk is a good boon as well.

Peony Best Builds

Very Adept Peony

HOT
： Flower of Joy ： Gentle Dream+ ： Moonbow ： -	： Triangle Adept 3 ： Wings of Mercy 3 ： Cross Spur Res ： Aerobatics 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Compared to Peony's budget build, this is a more offensive take. In the A slot, take Triangle Adept 3 for her to be able to take out red units with ease. Aerobatics 3 is moved to the Sacred Seal slot to retain Peony's mobility.

Budget Peony

： Flower of Joy ： Gentle Dream+ ： Moonbow ： -

： B Duel Flying 3 ： Aerobatics 3 ： Cross Spur Res ： Atk Tactic 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A base skillset for Peony! She is already functional from the very beginning as a refresher support with some firepower. Just slap a Special skill like a standard Moonbow and a Sacred Seal of choice, she's ready to go. If you want to commit more to Peony, you can replace her A skill with something more functional outside of the Arena.

Premium Peony

HOT
： Flower of Joy ： Gentle Dream+ ： Ruptured Sky ： -	： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Wings of Mercy 3 ： Cross Spur Atk ： Aerobatics 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a premium build for Peony with rare skills everywhere. Atk/Spd Catch 4 deals the most damage whenever Peony attacks and Cross Spur Atk allows Peony to support allies no matter the distance.

Peony Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Peony's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Flower of Joy	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Grants Res+3. Grants Atk/Spd+4 to any ally in a cardinal direction from unit during that ally's combat. If an ally is in a cardinal direction from unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. After combat, restores 7 HP to unit and allies in cardinal directions. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Flower of Joy

Refined Flower of Joy's effect may not help Peony that much with her support role, but it should still be used.

It improves the Cross Spur effect to Atk/Spd+4 allowing her to support her allies better. Additionally, Peony heals 7 HP to herself and allies in cardinal directions after combat.

It also provides combat buffs by granting a guaranteed follow-up attack as well as Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8. While this part of the refine isn't always useful, it is still there in emergency cases.

Peony Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Peony Roles

Peony - Sweet Dream 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

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

Mythic Effect can buff allies' HP and Spd

Eff.	Atk+3	Spd+4	Def+5	Res+5

As a Mythic Hero, you will receive the item Light Blessing when summoning Peony. In addition, she will grant allies who have been blessed with a Light Blessing HP+5 and Spd+5 when they appear together during Light Season.

Peony Strengths

Extremely powerful refresher skill

Peony's exclsuive skill Gentle Dream buffs an ally while simultaneously granting them another action. Allies who have been granted additional movement, as well as all allies in cardinal directions of both Peony and the ally who gained extra movement, will gain +3 to all stats and be able to move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces. In addition to being a useful refresher skill, it buffs all allies and grants more mobility, making it one of the best support skills available.

The qualities of this skill make Peony a great Aether Raids defense unit because it can cause raiders that do not plan an attack to make mistakes.

Buffs allies in cardinal directions

Peony's exclusive weapon Flower of Joy will grant +3 to the Atk/Spd of allies within cardinal directions of her. As long as the ally is in one of her cardinal directions, the amount of spaces away they are does not matter, allowing her to buff all allies from a safe distance. This buff also stacks with the effects of Gentle Dream, so she can grant massive bonuses to all allies while giving them extra movement and mobility.

Can move to an adjacent space of nearby allies

Peony's B skil Wings of Mercy will let her move to an adjacent space of any non-flying unit within two spaces. This skill makes it easy to further the scope of Gentle Dream and Flower of Joy even farther, as well as warp to another ally and refresh their movement. This skill has great synergy with her other support skills.

Peony Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Peony will take heavy damage from bows and other skills that are effective on flying units. Make sure you keep her out of the range of any bow wielding units.

Peony Team and Counters

Teammates for Peony

Valentine's Líf	Reginn	Legendary Dimitri	Brave Hector
Brave Edelgard	Shamir	Ninja Lyn	Legendary Claude

Top Tier offensive units!

Peony is mainly a refresher-assist support who can compound a powerful unit's firepower and bulk so pairing her up with your most powerful units is your best bet for her!

Peony Counters

Reginn	Legendary Dimitri	Erinys	Shamir
Ninja Lyn	Legendary Claude	Shinon	Brave Claude

Fast phyisical powerhouses

The hole in Peony's defenses is her low Def stat. Her Spd is at a fair range, but faster units can still score follow-ups on her. Those carrying bows also carry a damage advantage as Peony is a flying unit.

Peony as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting B Duel Flying or Aerobatics

Peony has many valuable skills to inherit like B Duel Flying 3 and Aerobatics 3. However, since she is one of the best support units in the game, on top of a Light-Type Mythic Hero, we recommend you raise at least one Peony without foddering her off.
