Pirate Veronica Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (25)		★★★★★
Spd (4)		★☆☆☆☆
Def (8)		★★★★☆
Res (7)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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/-Spd

Pirate Veronica's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. She relies solely on Atk for her offense as her Spd is very unreliable. Instead, she relies on Gate-Anchor Axe for follow-up attacks. This makes Atk her best bane and her Spd virtually useless. Therefore, Spd is the bet bane you can get for Pirate Veronica.

Pirate Veronica Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Pirate Veronica's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Gate-Anchor Axe	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or if the number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, grants Def/Res+5 to unit, inflicts Def/Res-5 on foe, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and grants Special cooldown count-X to unit before unit's first attack during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat; max 3). At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Def-7 and【Feud】on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Def/Res+5 to unit, inflicts Def/Res-5 on foe, and deals damage = 20% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when unit's Special triggers, neutralizes foe's "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Gate-Anchor Axe

Refined Gate-Anchor Axe grants Pirate Veronica 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】, a guaranteed follow-up attack, Special cooldown skipping before her first attack based on distance travelled (max 3), true damage equal to 20% of her Def, 100% damage reduction piercing on Special trigger, and a 20-point Def/Res swing by granting Veronica Def/Res+10 and inflicting Def/Res-10 on her foe during combat.

Refined Gate-Anchor Axe also inflicts Atk/Def-7 and 【Feud】 onto the closest foes and all foes near those foes at the start of each turn, further crippling the enemy units before they can even attack or defend.

This weapon refine makes Pirate Veronica a mobile bulky unit that can quickly dish out damage with her bonus damage and faster Special, and then retreat afterwards.

Pirate Veronica Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Pirate Veronica Roles

Veronica - Harmonic Pirates 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

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

Access to a Harmonized Skill!

Pirate Veronica is one of the firsts of a new hero category, the Harmonized Heroes. They have access to a unique harmonized skill which is very similar to duo skills. You can activate harmonized skills by pressing the the harmonized skill button. Because this harmonized unit features both Veronica and Xander, they can qualify for bonus scores in all of the games where these two show up!

Pirate Veronica Strengths

Refined Gate-Anchor Axe grants mobility and in-combat effects

Refined Gate-Anchor Axe grants Pirate Veronica 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】, a guaranteed follow-up attack, Special cooldown skipping before her first attack based on distance travelled (max 3), true damage equal to 20% of her Def, 100% damage reduction piercing on Special trigger, and a 20-point Def/Res swing by granting Veronica Def/Res+10 and inflicting Def/Res-10 on her foe during combat.

Refined Gate-Anchor Axe also inflicts Atk/Def-7 and 【Feud】 onto the closest foes and all foes near those foes at the start of each turn, further crippling the enemy units before they can even attack or defend.

This weapon refine makes Pirate Veronica a mobile bulky unit that can quickly dish out damage with her bonus damage and faster Special, and then retreat afterwards.

Harmonized Skill buffs Veronica and Alies

Pirate Veronica's harmonized skill grants her and all allies coming from Fire Emblem titles such as Fates and Heroes +4 Def/Res. Additionally it also prevents foes from scoring follow-up attacks for the first combat engagement in a phase for affected allies.

The skill does not have any additional trigger requirements besides the one mentioned above. It is a combat buff, meaning, it can be easily stacked with other buffs and it does not make the target units susceptible to panics and chills. Lastly, it is refreshed at the start of every third turn. All of these quirks make this skill extremely valuable and adds to Pirate Veronica's value as a versatile unit.

Pirate Veronica Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Pirate Veronica takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him/her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Pirate Veronica as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Atk/Def Solo 4 or Spd/Def Snag 3

Pirate Veronica can be used to inherit the skills Atk/Def Solo 4 or Lull Atk/Def 3. However, Pirate Veronica is a powerful and very versatile hero that can fit in many team compositions so we recommend against fodderring her off. Train her and make use of her abilities instead!
