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.

+Res/-Spd

The best IVs for Gatrie are +Res and -Spd. Taking a +Res IV would balance his defensive stats. A balanced defensive statline is ideal for survival as it increases the range of units he can survive blows from. His Spd is of less importance as he depends on his skills to score follow-up attacks. This makes it safe to take as his bane.

+Res for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Res IV when merging Gatrie to 10. With +10 merges and a +Res IV, Gatrie will reach 42 Res. This allows him to take attacks and survive blows from an extremely wide range of units—an ability perfect for him as he is designed to bait in attacks in the enemy phase.

Gatrie Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Gatrie's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Mercenary Lance	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, inflicts Atk/Def-5 on foe, neutralizes penalties on unit, reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Def-X on foe during combat (X = 5 + 15% of unit's Def) and restores 10 HP to unit after combat, and also, if foe initiates combat, grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Mercenary Lance

Refined Mercenary Lance inflicts Atk/Def penalties onto Gatrie's foe equal to 10 plus 15% of his Def, neutralizes penalties inflicted on Gatrie, and grants Gatrie damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def, bonus Special cooldown charges per attack, Special cooldown -2 before his foe's first attack, and heals Gatrie 10 HP after combat.

This refine is quite similar to the powerful B skill Laguz Friend 4, and Gatrie having similar effects to it as an armored unit allows him to take advantage of its effects to utilize his Special skill often.

Gatrie Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Gatrie Roles

Gatrie - Armored Amour 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

Gatrie 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.

Gatrie Strengths

Refined Mercenary Lance manipulates Special cooldown and improves bulk

Gatrie's base Mercenary Lance inflicts Atk/Def-5 onto his foe, neutralizes penalties on Gatrie, reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of Gatrie's Def, and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to Gatrie per attack during combat.

When refined, Mercenary Lance instead inflicts Atk/Def penalties onto Gatrie's foe equal to 10 plus 15% of his Def, neutralizes penalties inflicted on Gatrie, and grants Gatrie damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def, bonus Special cooldown charges per attack, Special cooldown -2 before his foe's first attack, and heals Gatrie 10 HP after combat.

This refine is quite similar to the powerful B skill Laguz Friend 4, and Gatrie having similar effects to it as an armored unit allows him to take advantage of its effects to utilize his Special skill often.

Gatrie Weaknesses

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

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

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Fort. Def/Res 3 or Crafty Fighter 3

Gatrie can be used to inherit the skills Fort. Def/Res 3 or Crafty Fighter 3. However, Gatrie is a very powerful armored unit! If you do not have a reliable lance armored unit in your barracks, you might want to keep and invest in him instead.
