Kris (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (25) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (10) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (8) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (6) Res Boon ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 Kris (M) are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allow Kris (M) to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. Additionally, his Spd is a superboon so you should take advantage of the +4 in the stat. Lastly, having a high Spd makes him tankier through Spurn 3. Res is of lower priority *

  • so it is safe to take as a bane.
  • +Spd for a +10 Merge

    We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Kris (M) to 10. This boosts his offensive power by being able to execute follow-up attacks more frequently. It also boosts his defenses because of the effects of Spurn 3, and a higher Spd also makes him less susceptible to follow-up attacks.

    How to Use, Explanation

    Like the budget build, this focuses in he enemy phase. However, it makes use of DC instead of Steady Posture 2. Swift Stance 2 is taken in the Seal slot to further improve combat ability. It synergizes with Spurn for more Spd-based durability.

    Budget Kris (M)

    Special Skill IconNoontime

    Passive Skill BSpurn 3
    Attuned Skill Icon: -

    How to Use, Explanation

    A budget build for Kris (M) that focuses on taking hits in the enemy phase. Noontime is taken for sustain, but it wouldn't hurt if a dedicated staff unit is assigned to Kris.

    Kris (M) is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

    Kris (M) Strengths

    Blade of Shadow is a powerful weapon

    On top of accelerating Kris' special trigger, Blade of Shadow also neutralizes penalties on Kris and inflicts -5 Atk/Spd/Def on his enemy if foe initiates combat or if foe's HP is at 100% at the start of combat. These effects makes Kris a formidable offensive unit in both phases of a turn.

    Avoid damage by stacking Spd

    The newly released skill, Spurn reduces the damage taken by Kris if his Spd > foe's Spd. It also grants +5 damage when his special triggers if his HP ≤ 75%. Together with Blade of Shadow and Noontime, Spurn makes Kris a very powerful hero in the enemy phase who will be quite hard to take down.

    Can Buff Both Himself and Allies

    The C skill Joint Drive Atk grants +4 Atk to allies and Kris if they are within 2 spaces of each other. This gives Kris with some support capacity on top of being an excellent offensive unit.

    Kris (M) Weaknesses

    Low Res

    Kris (M)'s Res only sits at 25 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Kris (M)'s positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
