Brave Claude Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (22) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (10) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (6) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
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 and -Def

Brave Claude's best IVs are +Spd and -Df. With a Spd boon, he will be able to gain even more follow-up attacks on his foes. It is also a superboon which means you should take advantage of it as much as possible. Def is his least important stat and is the most ideal bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Brave Claude to 10. With a +Spd IV, his Spd will reach 48 with Fury 4. This makes him very powerful offensively and defensively as he can score lots of follow-up attacks while evading lots of it as well.

Take note that he has 2 debuffs to Spd so his ability to outspeed enemies can be overlooked if you are taking into consideration stats alone.

Brave Claude Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Brave Claude's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and also, if unit deals damage to foe using a Special, restores 50% of unit's maximum HP. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt. Reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 by 60%.)
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks and effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and also, if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30%.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Wind Parthia

Refined Wind Parthia grants bonus stats during combat, nerfs the effects of 【Deep Wounds】 allowing Brave Claude to heal through it, the offensive half of 【Null Follow-Up】, neutralizes 【Guard】 effects, and grants 30% damage reduction on the foe's first attack.

This handful of effects is a lot to place in one weapon refine, and is much better than any other option Brave Claude has.

Brave Claude is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Brave Claude Strengths

Wind Parthia grants an all-stat boost

If Claude is within 2 spaces on an ally or if he initiates combat, Wind Parthia grants him +5 to all stats. This is a very powerful buff that and it is almost impossible to have problems trying to meet the trigger conditions.

Wind Parthia provides incredible damage and sustain through special attacks

Another effect of Wind Parthia with the same trigger conditions as above is that, he restores 50% of his HP everytime he activates his special. Not only does he get boosted damage through Moonbow, but Wind Parthia also heals him up whenever said skill activates. It is important to mention that Moonbow only has a cooldown of 2, but that gets further reduced by Wind Parthia which accelerates special trigger, bringing it down to 1. The amount of damage and heals that will be sourced from a Wind Parthia-boosted Moonbow in the course of a battle is absurd!

All these effects make it a MUST to have Claude be within 2 spaces of an ally in the enemy phase. This is the only way to trigger these effects as the other trigger condition requires him to initiate the attack.

Atk/Spd inflicted onto a wide area

Claude's C skill, Atk/Spd Rein 3 inflicts -4 Atk/Spd on foes within 2 spaces during combat. It helps both Claude and allies as the range is modest and it affects enemies even if Claude is not directly part of combat. Claude's flying movement makes it easy to position him in effectively utilizing this skill. It is an in-combat buff which makes it easy to stack with other debuffs such as Atk Ploy 3.

Brave Claude Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Brave Claude 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.
