Lysithea Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superboon ★★☆☆☆
Atk (25) Attack Boon ★★★★☆
Spd (9) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (4) 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

Lysithea's best IVs are +Spd and -HP. With a Spd boon, she will be able to gain even more follow-up attacks on her foes. Her HP is her least important stat and is the most ideal bane.

Since Atk is a superboon, which will give her an additional +4 to the stat, this is a good IV for Lysithea as well.

Lysithea is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Lysithea Strengths

Hades Ω is a powerful offensive weapon

Refined Hades Ω is equipped with multiple offensive effects that allow Lysithea to quickly nuke down her foes in one attack.

Below is a list of all of its effects:

  • Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1).
  • Neutralizes Atk/Spd penalties inflicted on Lysithea.
  • Grants Atk/Spd+10 to Lysithea during combat.
  • Grants an additional Atk/Spd+7 to Lysithea during combat if she has an offensive Special and her Special cooldown count is ≤ 2 at start of combat.
  • Grants Lysithea additional true damage per attack equal to 20% of her Spd.
  • Neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Res during combat.
  • Grants Special cooldown count -1 to Lysithea before her first attack during combat.

These effects all add up to allow Lysithea to quickly activate her Special in combat, further adding on to her already high damage output.

Lysithea Weaknesses

Weak to physical attacks

Due to her low Def stat, Lysithea takes pretty heavy damage from physical attackers. If a unit with a brave weapon attacks her, it will spell ceratin death. Be sure and KO them before they attack her, or leave them to another unit.

Inheriting Lull Spd/Res or Time's Pulse

Lysithea can be used to inherit Lull Spd/Res or Time's Pulse. When doing so, if you first inherit Death Blow 1-3 from another unit, you will be able to get Death Blow 4 from her at the same time. However, as a pretty powerful unit on her own, we recommend keeping at least one Lysithea before using any duplicates for fodder.
