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/-Spd

The best IVs for Fallen Lyon are +Atk and -Spd. A higher Atk stat allows him to add to his already high damage output. This increases the range of units that he can take out in one turn. His his low Spd isn't getting any better, so it is the ideal dump stat.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Fallen Lyon to 10. With a +Atk IV, Lyon's Atk stat can reach 64 which is incredibly high.

Fallen Lyon Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Lyon Roles

Lyon - Demon King 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

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

Fallen Lyon's Strengths

Strong Against Ranged Units and Colorless Units

Blood Tome reduces damage from AoE specials by 80% and reduces attack damage by 50% if the source of damage is using a bow, dagger, tome or staff. It also makes Lyon strong against colorless units by inflicting weapon-triangle disadvantage to the foe and grants weapon-triangle advantage to himself.

This cannot be overlooked as it grants Lyon to counter Bow units which is one of the most common unit types in the game.

A foolish Thief dare attack Fallen Lyon! Little did he know that Lyon had the perfect defense for a ranged colorless unit like him. He didn't even put a scratch on him!

Can Solo Through Bonus Doubler and Rouse Atk/Res

Rouse Atk/Res 3 grants +6 Atk/Res to Lyon whenever he is not adjacent to allied units at the start of the turn. It is pretty easy to trigger and can be doubled by Bonus Doubler 3 into a whopping +12 Atk/Res. Being adjacent to allies neutralizes all of these bonuses so be mindful of Fallen Lyon's positioning in relation to his allies!

Guarantees Counterattacks

Fallen Lyon has access to Null C-Disrupt 3 which neutralizes effects that prevent Lyon from executing counterattacks. Since Lyon is strong against long-ranged units, he is a great counter to heroes like Veronica or units using Firesweep Bow+. This also makes Lyon a great unit in Aether Raids.

Fallen Lyon's Weaknesses

Low Spd

While he has pretty good defensive stats, Fallen Lyon has a low Spd stat, so a speedy red unit can take him out quickly. He needs to avoid units like Fallen Ike or Sothis who can easily gain follow-up attacks on him and deal massive damage.

Fallen Lyon Team and Counters

Teammates for Fallen Lyon

Plumeria	Mirabilis	Reinhardt	Peony
Brave Hector	Reyson	Leanne	Flayn

Flayn or refresher-assists

Flayn provides great heals, damage reduction, and movement-assist to Fallen Lyon. She is a very powerful support unit! If you do not have Flayn, any other healer can do. Refresher-assist supports are great partners for Fallen Lyon too.

Reyson or Leanne

Reyson and Leanne provide both heals and refreshes to Fallen Lyon so he can brawl it out in the frontlines for much longer. Arguably, Leanne is a better pick as she is of a different attribute to Fallen Lyon.

Blue powerhouses, preferably those who are strong against red units

Fallen Lyon needs a partner to cover her weakness against red units. It might be smart to include a blue magic unit as well to cover foes that are strong against physical hits. Some good example for this spot are Reinhardt, Brave Hector, or even an offensively built Peony.

Fallen Lyon Counters

Winter Altina	Líf	Fallen Ike	Sothis
Young Marth	Young Caeda	Altina	Reginn

High-powered red units.

Fallen Lyon's weakness are red melee units as his defenses are catered against ranged foes.

Altina, and Winter Altina can nail double strikes on him without the need for a Spd check so they are very deadly against Fallen Celica. Their access to Vantage effects can be very tricky to work around against. Young Caeda also has native access to a Vantage effect.

Fallen Lyon as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inherting Bonus Doubler 3, Null C-Disrupt 3 and Rouse Atk/Res 3

Fallen Lyon can be used to inherit the skills Bonus Doubler 3, Null C-Disrupt 3 and Rouse Atk/Res 3. These are all excellent skills, but as Fallen Lyon is a pretty good unit in his own right, we recommend training and building around him instead.
