Pirate Tibarn Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (20)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★★
Spd (7)		★★★☆☆
Def (11)		★★★★☆
Res (4)		★☆☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Pirate Tibarn are +Atk and -Res. Since he can guarantee follow-up attacks, it is best to maximize his Atk damage instead. It is also a superboon, so you should take advantage of it as much as possible. A superboon means he gets +4 in this stat instead of the normal +3 if he possesses a boon in said stat. His Res is very low and it is of less importance so it is safe to take it as his bane.
