Summer Lute Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (19) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (4) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (8) 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.

+Res/-Def

The best IVs for Summer Lute are +Spd and -Def. Summer Lute's offensive stats have been powercrept in the modern metagame, thus, we rely on her above average Res stat to function as a support unit.

Def is a clear dump stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Res for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Res IV when merging Summer Lute to +10 for the same reasons stated above.

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses maximum investment to have Summer Lute function as a support unit. Her firepower isn't good enough to punch through sturdy tank units, thus we rely on her support capabilities instead.

Summer Lute 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.

Summer Lute Strengths

Inflicts an In-Combat Spd/Def Debuff

Flora Guide+ inflicts -5 Spd/Res on foes within 2 spaces during combat. This increases Summer Lute's damage and somewhat improves her durability as she will be less susceptible to follow-up attacks. It works in both phases and this adds to Summer Lute's versatility.

Great support to allies through Spd Tactic

Spd Tactic 3 allows Summer Lute to give Spd +6 to her allies within 2 spaces for 1 turn, as long as there are no more than two of that ally's movement type on the team. This makes it easy for her allies to secure folow-up attacks, and is great for a mixed mobility party.

Summer Lute Weaknesses

Weak to bows

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

Inheriting Flora Guide+ or Seal Spd/Res 2

Summer Lute can be used to inherit the skills Flora Guide+ or Seal Spd/Res 2. However, she is a powerful hero who is one of the few flying tome users! We recommend training and utilizing her strengths instead.

Of all the old units available, & even newer units without current builds, why in the world would y'all update a unit that has no unique skills with a current build? It would be nice if y'all had the time to do it for everyone, but to do it selectively to units like this seems strange to me.
