Winter Sothis Skills at 5★

Winter Sothis Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (21)		★★★★★
Spd (8)		★★☆☆☆
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
Res (9)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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/-HP

Winter Sothis's best IVs are +Atk and -HP. With a superboon in Atk, W!Sothis will receive +4 to her Atk stat, further increasing her overall damage output. A superbane in Def will hurt her, and so ideally her HP stat should have a flaw to keep her other stats in balance.

+Atk IV with +10 merge

If you intend to merge Sothis to +10, we still recommend +Atk as an IV. At the 10th merge, Sothis will have a massive Atk of 59 with an Atk asset, making it easy to take down most foes. If you want to focus on defensive stats, +Def is also a good option.

Winter Sothis Best Builds

Daring Winter Sothis

HOT
： Snow's Grace ： Pivot ： Glacies ： -	： Distant Counter ： Daring Fighter 3 ： Armored Stride 3 ： Brazen Atk/Spd 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build revolves around inheriting Daring Fighter. In addition to canceling enemy skills that disable follow-up attacks, Sothis can then attack with raised Atk and Spd when her HP drops below 80%, and she will be able to attack twice in a row if she gets her follow-up. Atk Smoke will lower the Atk of nearby foes, making it difficult for them to defeat Sothis in the following turn.

Budget Winter Sothis

HOT
： Snow's Grace ： Pivot ： Sirius ： -	： Distant Counter ： Special Fighter 3 ： Armor March 3 ： Atk/Spd Bond 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build is based around Winter Sothis's default skillset. Since Sothis's default skills are all excellent as is, she can be improved by just giving her an assist skill and Sacred Seal.For the Seal, Atk/Spd Bond is an excellent choice, as it allows you to utilize Sothis's many strengths while keeping her close to other allies.

Invested Far Save Winter Sothis

HOT
： Snow's Grace ： Pivot ： Sirius ： -	： Distant Dart ： Special Fighter 4 ： A/R Far Save 3 ： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This Far Save build takes advantage of Winter Sothis' high Spd stat and refined Snow's Grace to minimize the damage she takes. Special Fighter 4 provides a Guard effect, speeds up her Sirius activations, and ensures Sothis heals even through Deep Wounds.

Winter Sothis Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Winter Sothis' Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Snow's Grace	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Neutralizes "effective against dragons" bonuses. Grants Spd+3. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and neutralizes unit's penalties during combat. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks, and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Snow's Grace

Refined Snow's Grace grants bonus stats, neutralizes effects that guarantee her foe's follow-up attacks, and grants 30% damage reduction on her foe's first attack.

This effect is mild compared to the stacked refines that some units have received. However, this is exactly what Winter Sothis needs to maximize her high Spd and improve her overall bulk.

Winter Sothis Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Sothis Roles

Sothis - Silver Specter 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

W!Sothis is a close magic attacker. Therefore, the damage she deals is equal to her Atk minus the foe's Res when the effects of the weapon triangle are not considered.

Winter Sothis Strengths

Weapon neutralizes anti-dragon weapons and gives her a stat boost

Sothis's exclusive weapon skill Snow's Grace nullifies bonuses that are effective on dragons while boosting all stats by +5 when her HP is over 50%. Since her special skill Sirius allows her to recover HP, it is easy for her to stay above 50% and get the buff, making this a powerful weapon skill.

Sirius triggers when counterattacking

Sothis's B Skill Special Fighter gives her Special cooldown charge +1 and inflicts cooldown charge -1 on a foe when she has over 50% HP. This means that she will gain cooldown charge +2 when the foe initiates combat, allowing her to easily trigger her special, Sirius, when counterattacking.

Winter Sothis Weaknesses

Weak to weapons effective on armor

As an armored type unit, W!Sothis will take heavy damage from Armorslayer+! and other skills that are effective on armored units. Be sure and keep an eye on what weapons your foes are using.
