Rath Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (19) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (7) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (8) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (5) Res Boon ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 and -HP

Rath's best IVs are +Spd and -HP. A +Spd IV will make Rath more useful, as he will be able to gain follow-up attacks on a lot more foes. HP is the Stat he needs the least, so it is an ideal bane stat.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

If you are building a +10 merged Rath, we recommend a +Spd IV. With 10 merges and a +Spd IV, his Spd reaches 42, transforming him into a very speedy unit. If you are equipping him with a Brave Bow or you just want to focus on the amount of damage he deals per attack, +Atk is a better option for an asset.

Rath Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Rath's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sacaen-Wolf Bow

The refine effect of Sacaen-Wolf Bow not only grants Rath extra Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 but also helps him make guaranteed follow-up attacks, while ignoring any effects that penalize his Special cooldown charge. This ultimately enables him to land his Specials freely, making him a much more reliable bow unit to deploy on the field.

Rath is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Rath Strengths

Cavalry green bow unit

Since cavalry units can travel three spaces, and bow units have a range of two spaces, units like Rath can threaten foes from up to four spaces away. Except for the times when forests or terrain blocks their path, this type of unit has no issue quickly closing the distance and taking down far away enemies.

Gains a buff with nearby allies

The A skill Spd/Res Form will give him a Spd/Res bonus equal to the number of allies within 2 spaces +1. Since he just needs nearby allies to trigger this effect, it is both easy to use and highly effective.

Inflicts a penalty on the foe's Def

The C Skill Def Smoke will cast a Def penalty on nearby foes after combat. This will allow Rath to take out a foe while lowering the Def nearby foe, allowing another ally to swoop in and finish that foe off.

Rath Weaknesses

Weak to cavalry effective weapons

Rath is a cavalry unit, so he will take 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons, like the ones used by Brave Micaiah or Caeda. Be sure that he stays out of the range of foes with these weapons.
