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.

Base Stats for Annette

Annette's best IVs are her plain old base stats. With several superbanes, she really doesn't want to take a lowered IV, and she will be more versatile with Base Stats. If you plan on merging her to get rid of her flaw, then we recommend a +Spd IV.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

If you are building a +10 merged Annette, then we recommend going with a +Spd IV. When she reaches 10 merges with this IV, her Spd will reach 44, allowing her to get follow-up attacks on a ton of her foes. However, if you intend to buff her Spd through other skills, you may prefer to go for that +4 Atk superboon.

Annette Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Annette's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Crusher	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Grants Atk+3. Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. If a Rally Assist skill is used by unit, target can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack; no effect on cavalry allies with Range = 2), and afterward, once per turn, grants another action to unit. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, inflicts penalty on foe's Spd/Def/Res = 6 - current penalty on each of those stats (min: 0; calculates each stat penalty independently; still inflicts penalty on foe even if foe triggers an effect that neutralizes penalties during combat), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and if penalty is active on foe's Spd, Def, or Res, deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials) during combat. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, after combat, inflicts Spd/Def/Res-6 on foe through its next action. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Crusher

Refined Crusher grants Annette an additional Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus damage equal to 15% of her Atk, and inflicts Spd/Def/Res penalties onto her foe during combat. After combat, Crusher inflicts a visible Spd/Def/Res-6 penalty onto her foe.

More importantly, refining Crusher grants Annette an extra action upon using a Rally assist onto an ally. This effect is the most important effect gained from refining her weapon, and is powerful enough to warrant using above any of her other options.

Annette Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Annette Roles

Annette - Overachiever 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

Annette is a close 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.

Annette Strengths

Calculates damage using the lower of a foe's Def/Res

Annette has the weapon Crusher, which has the added effect of calculating damage using the lower of a foe's Def or Res stat. This weapon is very good against units who have high Def but low Res, and since the effect is always active, she is great for attacking whatever kind of foe presents themself.

Refined Crusher grants Annette an additional Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus damage equal to 15% of her Atk, and inflicts Spd/Def/Res penalties onto her foe during combat. After combat, Crusher inflicts a visible Spd/Def/Res-6 penalty onto her foe.

More importantly, refining Crusher grants Annette an extra action upon using a Rally assist onto an ally. This effect is the most important effect gained from refining her weapon, and is powerful enough to warrant using above any of her other options.

Can allow an ally to move an extra space with Rally assist

Crusher has another effect, which will grant an extra space of movement to an ally when Annette uses a Rally assist on them. This works on all units except ranged cavalry, so a close attacker cavalry unit would be able to move up to 4 spaces.

Annette Weaknesses

Rather poor Def

Annette has a pretty balanced stat spread overall, but her Def stat is a bit lacking, so she will have trouble fighting multiple foes in a row. Don't recklessly throw her into a group of foes and expect her to tank all of their attacks and survive.

Inheriting Def/Res Ruse or Atk/Def Gap

Annette can be foddered to inherit the skills Def/Res Ruse or Atk/Def Gap. But as a pretty powerful attacker and support unit, we recommend building her before using a duplicate for fodder.
