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.

+Spd/-Def

The best IVs for Summer Lute are +Spd and -Def. Summer Lute's Spd is around average so getting a +Spd IV will widen the range of foes she can execute follow-up attacks on and reduce the follow-up attacks she receives. Her Def is of less importance so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Summer Lute to 10 for the same reasons stated above. When fully merged, Lute will be a powerful offensive unit that can score follow-up attacks on a wide range of foes.

This build uses the recoil from Atk/Spd Push 4 to activate Desperation and allow consecutive attacks for future engagements. Make sure to keep the unit alive after the first combat since they will be in exploitable HP ranges! Brazen Atk/Spd 3 will also be accessible thanks to this mechanic.

Summer Lute Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Lute Roles

Lute - Summer Prodigy 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

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.
