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

Larcei's best IVs are +Spd and -HP. With a Spd boon, Larcei gets +4 in Spd, further increasing the scope of her weapon, special, and B skills. HP is the safest option for a boon.

+Spd For +10 Merges

If you plan to make a +10 merge, +Spd is the best IV. With a boon in Spd and +10 merge, Larcei's Spd reaches 48, allowing her to get a follow-up attack on most enemies and maximize the power of Repel. If you are more concerned with the damage output from each hit, then +Atk is a good IV as well.

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Larcei's Edge

Larcei Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Larcei Roles

Larcei - Keen Kin 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

Larcei is a close ranged physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Larcei Strengths

Larcei's Edge has multple powerful effects

Refined Larcei's Edge grants Larcei Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8, neutralizes her foe's visible stat bonuses, neutralizes effects that slow down her Special cooldown charges, deals bonus damage equal to 15% of her Spd, and has a built-in Time's Pulse 4.

With this refine, Larcei can repeatedly trigger Regnal Astra reliably without fear of any Guard effects. In addition to the damage boost of Regnal Astra itself, Larcei's Edge also boosts damage by 15% of Larcei's Spd, ensuring that each attack leaves a huge dent in her enemies.

Passive skill reduces damage taken from a foe

Larcei's B skill Repel will reduce damage taken from foes when she has a higher Spd stat than them. The higher the difference, the more the damage will be reduced, meaning that she has a great advantage over slow units.

Exclusive special skill that is very easy to trigger

Larcei has an exclusive special skill called Regnal Astra which boosts damage by 40% of her Spd stat. With the effect of Larcei's Edge, it actually has a cooldown count of just 1, meaning that this hero is capable of dealing tons of damage through her special.

Larcei Weaknesses

Weak to magic attackers

Larcei has a rather lackluster Res stat, meaning that she is susceptible to heavy damage from tome wielders and manaketes. Keep an eye on the range of these foes and stay at a safe distance from their attacks.

Larcei as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Repel or Panic Smoke

Larcei has many valuable and useful skills such as Repel and Panic Smoke, as well as Atk/Spd Solo. However, she is quite a powerful unit in her own right, so we recommend keeping and building at least one Larcei before foddering off or merging duplicates.
