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/-HP

The best IVs for Tanya are +Spd and -HP. She will reach a Spd stat of 40 with this IV making it quite easy for her to score follow-up attacks if supported by allies. It also makes her less susceptible to follow-up attacks from enemies. Her HP is of less importance so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Tanya to 10. At +10 Merges, Tanya's Spd will reach fair levels that when supported, can easily score on a lot of enemy units. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Atk IV instead to help her deal more damage. You can still go for a Spd IV if you prefer and at that point, she will reach a fair 44 Spd.

Firesweep Tanya

HOT
： Firesweep Bow+ ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -	： Swift Sparrow 3 ： Poison Strike 3 ： Savage Blow 3 ： Poison Strike 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is simple Firesweep set for Tanya. You can also go for a double Savage Blow 3 set if you prefer that. Though if you are trying to focus down an enemy unit, double Poison Strike 3 together with an offensive refresher-assist unit can offer Tanya tons of KO potential!

Budget Tanya

： Shining Bow+ ： Ardent Sacrifice ： Moonbow ： -

： Fury 3 ： Desperation 3 ： Spur Spd/Res 2 ： Brazen Atk/Spd 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a budget build for Tanya that makes use of the Fury-Desperation combo for one-sided engagements. The recoil will also cause Brazen Atk/Spd 3 to kick in and improve her offensive ability further!

Tanya Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Tanya's Weapon Refine

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Violdrake Bow	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against flying foes. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat, deals damage = 10% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75% or 【Penalty】 is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-X on foe during combat (X = current penalty on each of foe's stats during combat; calculates each stat penalty independently). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Violdrake Bow

Tanya greatly benefits from the special effect refine of Violdrake Bow. It effectively helps her get a stat buff of Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 while inflicting debuffs on foes based on their current penalties.

Tanya Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Tanya Roles

Tanya - Dagdar's Kid 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

Tanya is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Tanya Strengths

Weapon grants pure damage and speeds-up special cooldown

Shining Bow+ gives her +7 pure damage when a foe's Def is significantly higher than their Res. This allows her to do a decent chunk of damage even on foes with high Def. Choose the right targets for Tanya to make the most out of her.

Tanya Weaknesses

Low Damage

Tanya heavily relies on Shining Bow's effects and her Spd for follow-up attacks to deal damage instead of directly relying on Atk. This makes it hard for her to deal significant chunks of damage in some circumstances especially if she can not score a follow-up attack. If you plan to use Tanya in the long run, inherit more powerful skills onto her especially a good special. This will make her offensively viable in the current.
