Young Marth Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (24)		★★★★☆
Spd (12)		★★★★★
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
Res (7)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk/-HP

The best IVs for Young are +Atk and -HP. A +Atk IV adds to his already high Atk stat and is perfect for him because he has access to Vantage through his weapon. This also allows Marth to defeat many foes in one turn, especially dragon units. His HP is lower priority than his other stats, and although it is a superbane, it is still the ideal bane.

Young Marth Best Builds

Budget Young Marth

： Brilliant Rapier ： Reposition ： Hero's Blood ： -

： Atk/Spd Ideal 4 ： Close Call 3 ： Spd Smoke 3 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A budget build for Young Marth that allows him to function as a speedy sword infantry omnitank. These skills are available through Divine Codes; replacing them with similar skills will also suffice.

Distant Spiral Young Marth

HOT
： Brilliant Rapier ： Reposition ： Hero's Blood ： -	： Distant Dart ： Special Spiral 4 ： Atk/Spd Oath 4 ： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build utilizes Special Spiral 4 to repeatedly charge up Hero's Blood while bursting down Marth's foes with both the true damage effect of Brilliant Rapier as well as neutralizing damage reduction effects. The Vantage effect of Brilliant Rapier ensures that Marth's foes have to survive an attack boosted by Hero's Blood first before they can even attack.

Young Marth Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Young Marth's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Brilliant Rapier	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Effective against armored and cavalry foes. Grants Spd+3. If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat. If unit's HP ≤ 80% and foe initiates combat, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X = 4 + highest bonus on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; calculates each stat bonus independently) and deals damage = 15% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Brilliant Rapier

Refined Brilliant Rapier is effective against armored and cavalry foes, grants bonus stats during combat, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def, deals bonus true damage equal to 15% of Young Marth's Spd, and grants a Vantage effect if Young Marth's HP ≤ 80%.

This refine greatly improves Young Marth's performance on the battlefield by granting additional stats and true damage to burst through his enemies.

Young Marth Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Young Marth Roles

Marth - Legacied Hero 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

Young Marth is a close 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.

Young Marth's Strengths

Hero's Blood buffs Marth and Allies

Young Marth's special skill, Hero's Blood, adds 30% of his Spd to his damage. It also gives him and his allies a +4 buff to all stats 1 turn after activaing it. It is a very powerful special because it not only allows Young Marth to deal additional damage, but it also buffs his entire party.

Brilliant Rapier is Strong Against Armored and Cavalry Units

Young Marth's exclusive weapon Brilliant Rapier is effective against armored and cavalry foes, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to Young Marth during combat, neutralizes foe's visible bonuses to Spd/Def during combat, and grants a Vantage effect if Young Marth's HP ≤ 80%.

When refined, Brilliant Rapier grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses to Young Marth in combat equal to 4 plus the highest bonus on each stat between himself and any nearby allies, and grants bonus true damage equal to 15% of Young Marth's Spd.

This weapon, when refined, makes Young Marth into a standout sword infantry unit with multiple effects that ensure his survival while heavily denting or outright defeating his foes.

Spd/Def Oath gives Defensive Bonuses

The C skill Spd/Def Oath 3 grants Young Marth +5 to Spd and Def whenever he is adjacent to an ally. It is a strong buff that is very easy to activate.

Young Marth's Weaknesses

Susceptible to visible penalties

Young Marth's reliance on visible bonuses makes him susceptible to skills like Chill Atk 3 which can inflict visible penalties from a distance. This can prevent him from landing one-hit knockouts that can prove fatal to him if he is left in the danger zone. Make sure that he can either take out the unit he attacks or he can get out of the danger zone with Reposition, or Draw Back from allied units.

Low Res

Young Marth's Res is somewhat low compared to his other stats. It only stands at 26 at Lv.40. He can still stand toe to toe with magic users as his Spd is decent, but be wary as he might not be able to take a 2nd hit from hard-hitting dragon units like Idunn.
