Fallen Lyon Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (24) No Attack IV ★★★★★
Spd (3) Spd Bane ★★☆☆☆
Def (8) No Def IV ★★★★☆
Res (11) No Res IV ★★★★☆

◯ = 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/-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 Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Fallen Lyon's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Grants Atk+3. If foe's Range = 2, reduces damage from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by 80%. If unit initiates combat or foe's Range = 2, grants Atk+5 to unit, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

At start of turn, grants 【Cancel Affinity】 to unit. At start of turn, inflicts Atk/Res-7 and 【Triangle Adept】 on closest foes within 5 spaces of unit and any foe within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk+5 to unit, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Blood Tome

Refined Blood Tome grants weapon-triangle advantage against colorless foes, 80% damage reduction against area-of-effect damage, 50% damage reduction in combat, a guaranteed follow-up attack, a Guard effect, true damage equal to 20% of Lyon's Res, Atk+10 during combat, and inflicts Atk-10 on Lyon's foe during combat.

At the start of each turn, refined Blood Tome grants 【Cancel Affinity】 to Fallen Lyon and inflicts both 【Triangle Adept】 and Atk/Res-7 to the closest foe to Fallen Lyon within 5 spaces and all foes near those foes.

These effects allow Fallen Lyon to excel against Blue and Colorless foes, heavily cripping their combat potential and ensuring Fallen Lyon defeats them in combat. These effects also help him against Red foes by negating the weapon-triangle against them, giving him a fair matchup against all Red foes.

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

Refined Blood Tome grants weapon-triangle advantage against colorless foes, 80% damage reduction against area-of-effect damage, 50% damage reduction in combat, a guaranteed follow-up attack, a Guard effect, true damage equal to 20% of Lyon's Res, Atk+10 during combat, and inflicts Atk-10 on Lyon's foe during combat.

At the start of each turn, refined Blood Tome grants 【Cancel Affinity】 to Fallen Lyon and inflicts both 【Triangle Adept】 and Atk/Res-7 to the closest foe to Fallen Lyon within 5 spaces and all foes near those foes.

These effects allow Fallen Lyon to excel against Blue and Colorless foes, heavily cripping their combat potential and ensuring Fallen Lyon defeats them in combat. These effects also help him against Red foes by negating the weapon-triangle against them, giving him a fair matchup against all Red foes.

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 sweep effects like Firesweep Bow+.

Fallen Lyon's Weaknesses

Cancel Affinity is only granted to Lyon

The 【Cancel Affinity】 status from refined Blood Tome is only granted to Fallen Lyon, but the 【Triangle Adept】 is granted to multiple foes.

This can affect combat for Fallen Lyon's allies depending on the weapon-triangle matchups. Keep these in mind when assigning combat to his allies!

Low Spd

While he has pretty good defensive stats, Fallen Lyon has a low Spd stat, so a speedy unit can take him out quickly. Keep him away from these foes to ensure his survival.

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.
