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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Itsuki will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Itsuki are +Atk and -Res. His weapon is strong against dragon units so having a +Atk stat will maximize the 1.5x damage multiplier. His Res stat is of less importance, so it is safe to take it as a bane. If he is able to land a one-hit K.O. on dragon foes, he would not need his Res stat!

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Itsuki to 10. At +10 Merges, Itsuki's Atk will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, considering he has access to Mirage Falcon. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Spd IV instead to help him take less follow-up attacks and allow him to make some follow-up attacks on his own.

Mirage Falchion	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Effective against dragon foes. Grants Def+3.

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Mirage Falchion

Refined Mirage Falchion adds extra stats in-combat, grants a guaranteed follow-up attack, and grants 30% damage reduction on Itsuki's foe's first attack.

This refine might not be as impactful as others, but it still provides Itsuki good effects in-combat that improve his damage output and survivability.

Itsuki Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Itsuki Roles

Itsuki - Finding a Path 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

Itsuki is a close ranged physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Itsuki Strengths

Powerful exclusive weapon buff skill

Itsuki's exclusive weapon skill Mirage Falchion is effective on dragon foes, and grants an Atk/Def bonus during combat. When Itsuki initiates combat, the effect increases with the number of allies who have ended their movement, and if the foe initiates combat, the effect increases with the number of foes who have ended their movement. This will give him a max of Atk/Def+7, and at the minimum, Atk/Def+3, making it a very powerful combat bonus.

Useful buff skill triggered by Movement Assists

Itsuki's B Skill Atk/Def Link will give him and an ally Atk/Def+6 when one of them uses a movement assist like Swap or Reposition on the other. Since he learns Swap by default, his skills have rather good synergy, allowing him to go offensive or play more of a support role.

Grants a Def bonus to nearby allies

Itsuki's C slot skill Drive Def will grant Def+3 to allies within two spaces during combat. This skill stacks with other bonuses and works just by being near his teammates, making it very useful and easy to activate. Combined with the effect of Atk/Def Link, allies will gain +9 in their Def stat.

Itsuki Weaknesses

Lackluster Spd and Res stats

With rather low Spd and Res stats, Itsuki is prone to enemy follow-up attacks, and cannot handle many magic attacks. he does not have any way to raise his Res on his own, so one attack from a speedy mage or dragon will inflict massive damage on him. Make sure he stays out of the range of magic attackers.

Inheriting Atk/Def Link

Ituski can be foddered of to learn the skill Atk/Def Link. However, as a unit only obtainable through Tempest Trials, the number of duplicates you can obtain is limited, so think hard about whether or not you are okay with foddering him off.
