Summer Byleth (F) Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1). At start of combat, if unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd or if foe’s HP = 100%, grants Atk/Spd +5 to unit during combat and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe’s follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit’s follow-up attacks.

Cooldown Count = 2
Boosts damage by 20% of foe's Atk. If in combat against a dragon foe or beast foe, boosts damage by 40% instead of 20%.

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+7, but after combat, if unit attacked, deals 5 damage to unit.

At start of turn, inflicts Spd/Res-5 on foe on the enemy team with the highest Spd+Res total through its next action.

At start of turn, grants the following status effect to adjacent infantry, armored, and cavalry allies for 1 turn: "Unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces."

Summer Byleth (F)'s Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill
Grants【Desperation】to unit and allies within 2 spaces.
At start of every third turn, if Duo skill has already been used, unit can use Duo Skill again.
【Desperation】
Grants the following effect for 1 turn: “If unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.”
(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.)

Summer Byleth (F) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (22) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (12) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (3) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (4) 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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Summer Byleth are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Byleth to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. Additionally, her Spd is a superboon so you should take advantage of that as much as possible. Another reason why you should take a Spd boon is that her weapon effect relies on her having a high Spd stat. Her Res is of less importance as she is mainly an offensive unit so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Summer Byleth to 10. At +10 Merges and enough investment, Byleth's Spd will be enough to compete with the fastest metagame foes despite her age and powercreep affecting her compared to modern units.

Summer Byleth (F) Best Builds

Mobile Nuke Summer Byleth (F)

HOT

How to Use, Explanation

Watersweep / Budget Summer Byleth (F)

Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This budget build uses Windsweep to protect Byleth from counterattacks from specific foes while negating its drawbacks with her weapon's innate Null Follow-Up effect.

Source Heroes for All Skills

Summer Byleth (F) Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Summer Byleth (F)'s Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
At start of combat, if unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-5 or if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+5 and Def/Res+4 to unit, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
Grants Atk/Spd+4 and "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" to allies within 2 spaces of unit during their combat.
If unit initiates combat or is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of allies within 3 spaces of unit × 2, + 4 (max 10) and deals damage = 15% of unit's Spd during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
If unit initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 50% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown).
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sun's Percussors

Refined Sun's Percussors grants Summer Byleth (F) bonus stats, bonus true damage based on her Spd, a full Null Follow-Up effect, the offensive half of Tempo, 50% damage reduction piercing, 50% damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and inflicts a Scowl effect onto her foe.

It also grants Atk/Spd bonuses and 50% damage reduction piercing to allies within 2 spaces of Byleth, providing support to her allies during their combat.

This refine improves upon Byleth's own combat while providing support at the same time, and is worth using over any other option Byleth can use for her weapon slot.

Summer Byleth (F) 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 Byleth (F) Strengths

Refined Sun's Percussors has great in-combat effects and provides support

Summer Byleth (F)'s base Sun's Percussors grants Atk/Spd+5 and has a built-in Null Follow-Up effect, allowing Byleth to bypass her foe's follow-up negation effects to maximize her Spd stat.

When refined, Sun's Percussors instead grants Summer Byleth (F) additional bonus stats, bonus true damage based on her Spd, a full Null Follow-Up effect, the offensive half of Tempo, 50% damage reduction piercing, 50% damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and inflicts a Scowl effect onto her foe.

It also grants Atk/Spd bonuses and 50% damage reduction piercing to allies within 2 spaces of Byleth, providing support to her allies during their combat.

This refine improves upon Byleth's own combat while providing support at the same time, and is worth using over any other option Byleth can use for her weapon slot.

Access to a Duo Skill

Summer Byleth (F) has access to a Duo Skill that grants her and her allies the effects of Desperation without a HP requirement. After the first use, you can use it again at the start of every third turn. It has lots of strategic value especially when timed right as it can potentially allow your units to take out priority targets without taking damage.

Summer Byleth (F) Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Summer Byleth (F) 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.
