Legendary Celica Skills at 5★

Saintly Seraphim Might: 14　 Range: 2 Grants Spd+3. If unit initiates combat, deals damage = 25% of foe's Res. (Ignores reductions to Res from Special skills.)

Miracle Cooldown Count = 5 If unit’s HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit’s HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP.

Swift Sparrow 3 If unit initiates combat, grants Atk+6, Spd+7 during combat.

Soul of Zofia II Neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Spd-5 on foe and reduces the percentage of foe's non Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (example: a foe with a "reduce damage by 45%" skill would reduce damage by 23% instead).

Atk/Spd Menace At start of turn, if unit is within 4 spaces of a foe, inflicts Atk/Spd-6 on closest foes through their next actions and grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit for 1 turn.

Legendary Celica Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (24)		★★★★☆
Spd (11)		★★★★★
Def (5)		★★★☆☆
Res (6)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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/-HP

Legendary Celica's best IVs are +Spd and -HP. With her super boon, she will gain +4 to her Spd stat, maximizing her already impressive speed. Although she has super banes in all of her Defensive stats, meaning she will take -4 with a flaw, -HP is still better than a flaw in Def or Res.

+Atk if you want to merge

If you are planning on getting a +10 merge Legendary Celica, +Atk is the best boon. With a +10 merge and the bonus from her weapon skill, Celica's Spd will already be at 45, and since there is really no reason to go higher than that, the extra stat boost would be better if put toward damage output in the form of her Atk stat.

Legendary Celica Best Builds

： Saintly Seraphim ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Swift Sparrow 3 ： Soul of Zofia II ： Atk/Spd Menace ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses Celica's base kit as an offensive unit. All of her skills work well during player phase, thus we use Blade Session 3 over similar skills like Atk/Spd Solo or Form.

Legendary Celica Best Weapon Refine

Legendary Celica's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Saintly Seraphim	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Grants Spd+3. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat and deals damage = 25% of foe's Res, including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat (ignores reductions to Res from Special skills). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)" to unit for 1 turn, and also, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Saintly Seraphim

Saintly Seraphim grants bonus stats, special cooldown charges, and speed penalties onto enemies while cutting down their damage reduction skills in half.

The additional effects of Time Pulse, Dive-Bomb, and Null Follow-Up makes Legendary Celica a perfect glass cannon unit.

Legendary Celica Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Celica Roles

Celica - Queen of Valentia 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

Legendary Celica 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.

Legendary Effect boosts arena score

Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4	Pair Up

Pair Up and Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4

As a legendary hero, the Summoner receives a Fire Blessing by default when Celica is summoned. Being a fire-type Legendary Hero means that during Fire Season, fire-blessed heroes will gain HP+3, and Legendary Celica's effect will make her base stats be treated as 175. This effect makes it easy to raise your arena score when playing her on your team.

Legendary Celica's Strengths

Can deal more damage to foes with higher Res stats

Legendary Celica's exclusive weapon Skill Saintly Seraphim will deal damage equal to 25% of foe's Res stat. Since mages often struggle against Res tanks, this weapon skill is extremely powerful in the fact that it can deal fixed damage to this type of opponent.

Soul of Zofia II provides Null Follow-Up, Desperation, and cuts through damage reduction

Legendary Celica's exclusive Skill Soul of Zofia II combines the effects of Null Follow-Up and Desperation into one. This means she can block skills that prevent follow up attacks while gaining a follow-up attack before an enemy can counterattack. Foes with follow-up denial skills will not be able to stop her from getting a follow-up, making them much easier to take down.

Additionally, this exclusive skill also inflicts Spd-5 onto Celica's foe and cuts the effectiveness of non-Special damage reduction skills by half. These effects allow Legendary Celica to cut through foes who rely on damage reduction effects while helping her make a follow-up attack through the Spd penalty.

Legendary Celica's Weaknesses

Watch out for high Atk red units

Generally speaking, Celica will want to attack foes and then retreat to safety. If a powerful physical attacker such as Tibarn initiates battle with Celica or counterattacks her, it could spell the end, so let her teammates take care of these heroes for her.

Legendary Celica Team and Counters

Teammates for Legendary Celica

Mirabilis	Plumeria	Brave Hector	Reinhardt
Peony	Reyson	Leanne	Flayn

Flayn or refresher-assists

Flayn provides great heals, damage reduction, and movement-assist to Legendary Celica. She is a very powerful support unit! If you do not have Flayn, any other healer can do. Refresher-assist supports are great partners for Legendary Celica too.

Reyson or Leanne

Reyson and Leanne provide both heals and refreshes to Legendary Celica so she can brawl it out in the frontlines for much longer. Arguably, Leanne is a better pick as she is of a different attribute to Legendary Celica. Both can be blessed as they are neutral units! They can accompany Celica in the Arena if you want them to.

Blue powerhouses, preferably those who are strong against red units

Legendary Celica needs a partner to cover her weakness against red units. It might be smart to include a blue magic unit as well to cover foes that are strong against physical hits. Some good example for this spot are Reinhardt, Brave Hector, or even an offensively built Peony.

Legendary Celica Counters

Líf	Sothis	Altina	Young Caeda
Fallen Julia	Summer Byleth (F)	Reginn	Winter Altina

High-powered red units.

Legendary Celica has great stats across the board except for her Def stat.

Altina, and Winter Altina can nail double strikes on her without the need for a Spd check so they are very deadly against Legendary Celica. Their access to Vantage effects also counter Soul of Zofia directly. Young Caeda also has native access to a Vantage effect.

Inheriting Swift Sparrow 3 and Atk/Spd Oath
