Mustafa Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (24)		★★★★★
Spd (6)		★★☆☆☆
Def (10)		★★★★☆
Res (6)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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

Mustafa's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. Mustafa relies purely on Atk for his offense as his Spd is quite low. Taking a +Atk IV means maximizing his offense. His Spd is of less importance and as mentioned, it is low so it is safe to take it as Mustafa's bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Mustafa to 10. With +10 merges, Mustafa can deal a lot of damage in one blow. His high Atk combined with Bonfire can take out a lot of enemies.

Mustafa Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Mustafa's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Plegian War Axe	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+6 and "foe cannot make a follow-up attack" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, unit deals damage = 15% of foe's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials), 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 Plegian War Axe

Refined Plegian War Axe grants Mustafa and nearby allies Def/Res+6 and a follow-up denial effect at the start of each turn.

In combat, Plegian War Axe grants Mustafa Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8, a guaranteed follow-up attack, true damage equal to 15% of his Atk, and 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack.

While these effects aren't exactly gamebreaking or even unique to Plegian War Axe, they are still useful especially when they are all built-in to one weapon skill.

Mustafa - Plegian Champion Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher

Mustafa Strengths

Plegian War Axe improves combat for both Mustafa and allies

Refined Plegian War Axe grants Mustafa and nearby allies Def/Res+6 and a follow-up denial effect at the start of each turn.

In combat, Plegian War Axe grants Mustafa Atk/Spd/Def/Res+8, a guaranteed follow-up attack, true damage equal to 15% of his Atk, and 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack.

While these effects aren't exactly gamebreaking or even unique to Plegian War Axe, they are still useful especially when they are all built-in to one weapon skill.

Mustafa Weaknesses
