Heath Skills at 5★

Hyperion Lance Might: 16　 Range: 1 Effective against cavalry foes. If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-X on foe (X = 10% of unit's Def at start of combat), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).

Dragon Fang Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts Atk by 50%.

Atk/Def Push 3 At start of combat, if unit’s HP = 100%, grants Atk/Def+5, but if unit attacked, deals 1 damage to unit after combat.

Escape Route 3 Enables unit whose own HP ≤ 50% to warp adjacent to any ally.

Heath Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (23)		★★★★★
Spd (7)		★★★★☆
Def (11)		★★★★☆
Res (5)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Heath 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 Heath are +Atk and -Res. Heath's weapon is strong against cavalry foes so a +Atk IV maximizes the 1.5x damage multiplier he has against them. This allows him to score more one-hit knock-outs on cavalry units. His Res stat is of less importance, so it is safe to take it as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Heath to 10. At +10 Merges, Heath's Atk will barely be enough to deal significant damage against modern day tank units. He will need this extra boost in Atk to even leave a dent, let alone defeat them reliably.

Heath Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Heath's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Hyperion Lance	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Effective against cavalry foes. If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-X on foe (X = 10% of unit's Def at start of combat), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by X% (if it is unit's first combat initiated by unit or first combat initiated by foe that turn, X = 40; otherwise, X = 20). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Hyperion Lance

Refined Hyperion Lance provides bonus stats, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and damage reduction in combat.

These effects are all relevant when engaging in combat, making Heath a stronger character overall.

Heath Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Heath Roles

Heath - Wandering Knight 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

Heath 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.

Heath Strengths

Hyperion Lance provides multiple effects

Heath received a new exclusive weapon in Hyperion Lance. When refined, this lance grants Heath Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8, a guaranteed follow-up attack, damage reduction in combat (40% for the first per turn, and 20% otherwise) and inflicts stat penalties onto Heath's foe equal to 10% of Heath's Def.

Hyperion Lance also has a Guard effect which slows down his foe's Special cooldown charges, ensuring that Heath can rely on his inherent bulk to survive combat.

Balanced Stat Spread

On the whole, Heath has rather balanced stat, with no really bad weaknesses. Granted his opponent is not a green unit, he can battle with mostly any foe at a pretty even level. This makes him a very versatile unit overall.

Heath Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

Heath is a flying unit, so when he is attacked by a bow unit, he will end up taking 1.5x damage. Make sure he stays out of the range of archers, unless he can take them out in one go.
