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 Caeda are +Atk and -HP. Her weapon is effective against 5 types of different units so having a +Atk maximizes the potential of that 1.5x multiplier. Her HP 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 Young Caeda to 10. With +10 merges, Young Caeda's Atk stat will reach 59. This maximizes the abilities of Feather Sword and makes her a great matchup for the wide variety of units that Feather Sword is effective against.

Young Caeda Best Weapon Refine

Young Caeda's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Feather Sword	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Grants Atk+3. Effective against sword, lance, axe, colorless bow, and armored foes. If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks. If foe initiates combat and is armored or uses sword, lance, axe, or colorless bow, or if unit's HP ≤ 90%, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack. Enables 【Canto (2)】. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = number of allies within 3 spaces × 3 (max 6), 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). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Feather Sword

Refined Feather Sword grants Young Caeda 【Canto (2)】, bonus stats in-combat, and 40% damage reduction on her foe's first attack.

This refine improves her offensive and defensive power, allowing her to perform in both phases very well.

Young Caeda Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Young Caeda Roles

Caeda - Princess of Talys 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 Caeda 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.

Young Caeda's Strengths

Feather Sword is Strong Against Multiple Unit Types

Feather Sword activation did not give Legault a chance! Not a hit landed on Caeda even if Legault was the one that initiated

Caeda's weapon skill Feather Sword is effective against sword, lance, axe, colorless bow and armored units. It also grants +3 Atk to Young Caeda. In addition to that, it also has the effect of Vantage 3 built in, but it only activates for the units mentioned above. This makes Young Caeda a strong counter to sword, lance, axe, colorless bow and armored units in both player and enemy phases.

Can Debuff Foes with Belief in Love

Notice the -5 Atk -5 Def debuff inflicted upon Osian

Young Caeda's B skill, Belief in Love, inflicts Atk/Def -5 on foes whenever they initiate combat, or if their HP is 100%. This skill both boosts her damage and reduces the damage dealt by her enemies. This skill increases her viability in both player and enemy phases.

Distant Counter and Overall Skill Synergy

Distant Counter, Feather Sword and all the other skills of Young Caeda makes her a good enemy phase unit. The synergy of her skills even allows her to take out foes such as colorless bows through counterattacks before they can even harm her. Young Caeda would normally be weak to bows as a flying unit, but her tools allow her to be a strong threat against them as well.

Young Caeda's Weaknesses

Hardy Bearing

The Hardy Bearing Sacred Seal cancels out Feather Sword's built-in Vantage effect. If enemy units have this Sacred Seal, they will be able to bypass Caeda's main line of defense, which is the Vantage effect, and have a chance to take her out.

Weak to Bows

Since Young Caeda is a flying type, she takes 1.5x damage from bow-wielding characters. Be mindful of Young Caeda's positioning in relation to bow-wielding foes.
