Bridal Micaiah Skills at 5★

Joyful Vows Might: 14　 Range: 2 Effective against armored and cavalry foes. Grants Atk +3. If【Bonus】is active on unit, grants Atk/Res +6 during combat, and if unit imitates combat, foe cannot make a follow-up attack. 【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only". Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status efects (extra movement or effects like Dominance).

Sacrifice Range: 1 Converts penalties on target into bonuses. Restores target’s HP = unit’s current HP-1. Unit’s HP reduced by amount restored.

Mystic Boost 3 Disables foe’s skills that "calculate damage using the lower of foe’s Def or Res" and "calculate damage from staff like other weapons." Restores 6 HP after combat.

Atk/Res Oath 3 At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Res+5 to unit for 1 turn.

Bridal Micaiah's Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill
Grants【Dominance】to unit and allies within 3 columns centered on unit. Inflicts Def/Res -7 on foes within 3 columns centered on unit through their next actions. 【Dominance】 Unit deals additional damage = total penalties on foe for 1 turn. (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1

Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 185, treats unit's stats as 185 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Bridal Micaiah Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★★
Spd (5)		★★☆☆☆
Def (4)		★★☆☆☆
Res (10)		★★★★☆

◯ = 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/-Def

The best IVs for Bridal Micaiah are +Atk and -Def. A +Atk IV adds +4 to the stat as it is a superboon. Her Def is already low and it isn't super important for her, so it is safe to take Def as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Bridal Micaiah to +10. It is not worth it to try and raise her very low Spd, so just raise the Atk and try to one-shot opponents through other Atk raising buffs from other units.

Bridal Micaiah Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Bridal Micaiah's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Joyful Vows	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against armored and cavalry foes. Grants Atk+3. If 【Bonus】 is active on unit or if 【Penalty】 is active on foe, grants Atk/Res+6 to unit, grants additional bonus to unit's Atk = highest total penalties among target and foes within 2 spaces of target, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and foe cannot make a follow-up attack during combat. At start of turn, if any foes have the highest Atk, Spd, Def, or Res on the enemy team, inflicts -7 on the corresponding stat of those foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At start of turn, if any foes have the highest Atk, Spd, Def, or Res on the enemy team, inflicts 【Sabotage】 on those foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+5 to unit and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduces damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Joyful Vows

Refined Joyful Vows gains a ton of effects over the base version, and is worth refining to vastly increase Bridal Micaiah's power.

In summary, refined Joyful Vows has the following effects if all of its effects are activated:

• Effective damage against armored and cavalry foes
• Permanent Atk+3 buff
• Atk/Res+11 during combat
• Bonus Atk equal to the highest total penalties among target foe and all nearby foes
• Grants a guaranteed follow-up attack and denies foe's follow-up attack
• A Chaos Named+ / omni-Chill effect that inflicts 【Sabotage】 instead of 【Panic】
• Cuts the effectiveness of her foe's non-Special damage reduction skills in half

Bridal Micaiah Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bridal Micaiah Roles

Micaiah - Dawn Wind's Duo 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

Bridal Micaiah 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. On top of this, she has access to an additional Duo Skill, which can be activated once per battle.

Duo Skill Usable in Arenas

B!Micaiah's Duo Skill raises her arena score, in addition to unleashing a powerful battle effect. Duo Heroes have a Duo Skill which can be used once per map. Additionally, her Duel effect treats her stats as 185 in Arena modes, giving her a big advantage over many other heroes.

The effect of Micaiah's Duo Skill is shown below

Grants【Dominance】to unit and allies within 3 columns centered on unit. Inflicts Def/Res -7 on foes within 3 columns centered on unit through their next actions.
【Dominance】
Unit deals additional damage = total penalties on foe for 1 turn.
(Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1: Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 185, treats unit's stats as 185 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Bridal Micaiah Strengths

Duo Skill Buffs Allies and Debuffs Enemies

Bridal Micaiah's duo skill inflicts -7 Def/Res to all enemies within 3 columns centered around Micaiah. Additionally, it also grants her allies within the same AoE with Dominance.

Dominance allows her allies to deal additional damage equal to the total number of penalties on the opponent. Because it inflicts a total of -14 penalty, dominance grants +14 damage. This all adds up to +21 damage for both physical and magic users if the enemy that Micaiah is attacking is debuffed by the duo skill.

It only lasts for one turn, so be sure to position Bridal Micaiah and her allies properly to before using to avoid wasting this duo skill that can easily turn the tides of battle.

Powerful Exclusive Weapon, Joyful Vows

Joyful Vows is effective against armored and cavalry units. It also grants Atk/Res +6 if bonuses are active on Bridal Micaiah.

Additionally, it also prevents foes from making follow-up attacks if the same trigger condition is met. This makes Bridal Micaiah a good Res tank if she is adjacent to an ally.

Refining Joyful Vows makes the weapon significantly better, gaining multiple effects that swing combat in the player's favor.

Refined Joyful Vows grants the following effects, if all of its effects are activated:

• Effective damage against armored and cavalry foes
• Permanent Atk+3 buff
• Atk/Res+11 during combat
• Bonus Atk equal to the highest total penalties among target foe and all nearby foes
• Grants a guaranteed follow-up attack and denies foe's follow-up attack
• A Chaos Named+ / omni-Chill effect that inflicts 【Sabotage】 instead of 【Panic】
• Cuts the effectiveness of her foe's non-Special damage reduction skills in half

Bridal Micaiah Weaknesses

Low Spd and Def

Bridal Micaiah has low Spd and Def. This makes her weak to fast physical attackers like Hana, Brave Eliwood or Bridal Nailah who can all more or less take her down in one turn. Be mindful of Bridal Micaiah's positioning in relation to units that can take her down easily.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Bridal Micaiah takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep her out of the range of archers, and leave them to other units.

Bridal Micaiah as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Bridal Micaiah can be used to inherit the skills Mystic Boost 3 and Atk/Res Oath 3. However, since Bridal Micaiah is a powerful hero with a unique duo skill, we recommend training and building her instead.
