Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (18) | ★★☆☆☆ | |
Atk (24) | ★★★★☆ | |
Spd (12) | ★★★★★ | |
Def (5) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Res (5) | ★★★★☆ |
◯ = 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.
The best IVs for Shinon are +Spd and -Res. Shinon's damage is already backed by his skills so he does not need to worry that much about his Atk stat. Taking a +Spd IV is best in improving his overall effectiveness in both offense and defense. His Spd His Res is of less importance so it is safe to take it as his bane.
We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Shinon to 10. At +10 Merges, Shinon's Spd will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, considering he has access to Double Bow and Lull Atk/Spd 3. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Atk IV instead to help him get more direct firepower.
If you prefer a more balanced Shinion, you can still go for a +Spd IV. It still makes for a strong case especially because it is a superboon.

Shinon's base kit is already very complete. by adding Quickened Pulse, he is able to launch Deadeye in the first phase of battle. This allows him to immediately take out a priority target.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Shinon 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.
In addition to the effects of Atk/Def Solo 4, Double Bow grants +5 to all stats and the effects of Close Counter when Shinon is not adjacent to an ally. This means that he gets a +12 Atk/Def +5 Spd/Res buff just by being away from allies. Make sure to pay attention to his positioning in relation to his allies to make the most out of his kit.
Like a sniper, Shinon is best left alone as he supports the rest of his team by taking out foes from afar!
Deadeye not only doubles Shinon's damage upon activation, but it also disables damage reduction skills. This allows him to counter Fallen Ike's Repel 3 and Brave Edelgard's Black Eagle Rule among other similar skills provided that it is not a special skill.
Deadeye has a fair cooldown counter of 3, but Shinon has access to effects that speed up its activation. Double Bow accelereates its special trigger, so it sits at a default of 2. That is when his C skill, Time's Pulse 3 comes into play. If Deadeye's cooldown is at maximum, it subtracts another count in Deadeye's counter. This puts Deadeye's special trigger to 1.
As mentioned, one of Shinon's strengths is having access to Close Counter through Double Bow whenever he is not adjacent to an ally. This means that he can consistenly dish out attacks in both phases. This leads to a very rapid rate of activation for Deadeye. We recommend having healers around Shinon to make up for the damage he takes in the enemy phase!
Shinon's Res only sits at 24 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Shinon's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
Shinon's Def is only at 27 base, but he has skills that help him reduce damage from physical sources!
Ayra | Legendary Eliwood | Mirabilis | Legendary Azura |
Peony | Brave Dimitri | New Year Peony | Eir |
Shinon can fit in a wide variety of teams as he can mostly take care of himself.
He can be paired with those that can boost his firepower even more, like Legendary Eliwood's Bonus Doubler effect on his Ardent Durandal or any of the dancers above.
Reinhardt | Robin (M) | Brave Hector | Legendary Celica |
Fallen Lyon | Cecilia | Nagi | Brave Edelgard |
He will struggle against tanky units like Brave or Brave Edelgard as their high stats and the ability to counterattack regardless of distance may provide difficult for him.
Shinon has a colorless bow weapon, so he is also weak to weapons that are effective against colorless units.
Due to his low Res, fast mages or those with high firepower like Legendary Celica and Reinhardt will have no problem dealing with him as they can easily take him out when they attack him.

Shinon can be used to inherit Atk/Def Solo 4 or Time's Pulse 3. However, Shinon is a very powerful offensive unit that easily outclasses many of the colorless bow users in the game. We recommend training and investing in him instead!
Shinon is a Hero who can be pulled from any summon.
Note: Not currently a featured hero in any Summon events.
