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

The best IVs for Ninja Laevatein are +Atk and -Spd. Since her weapon can nail second strikes, getting a +Atk IV would be best in significantly increasing her damage. Her Spd very low and is of less importance so it can be safely taken as his bane.

Additionally, her +Atk is a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Ninja Laevatein to 10. This is for the same reasons as above and at this point, she can take out a lot of units out in one action! With Vantage 3, she becomes very deadly in the enemy phase as enemies will have to survive 2 powerful strikes first before getting a chance to damage her. This is pretty similar to how Altina works so get it on her as it is a very inexpensive skill.

Ninja Laevatein Best Builds

Vantage Ninja Laevatein

HOT
： Twin Star Axe ： Reposition ： Bonfire ： -	： Distant Storm ： Vantage 3 ： Atk Smoke 4 ： Atk/Def Catch 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build utilizes Vantage to knock out opponents before they can even attack. Distant Storm is used due to the Atk bonus being available on both player and enemy phase, while also lowering Laevatein's HP to get into Vantage range. Atk Smoke 4 provides bulk and denies her foe's follow-up attacks while also activating the condition of Atk/Def Catch 3.

Budget Ninja Laevatein

： Twin Star Axe ： Reposition ： Miracle ： -

： Distant Ward ： Vantage 3 ： Atk/Def Rein 3 ： Atk/Def Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A budget build for Ninja Laevatein that turns her into a dual-phase monster! No doubt she can take the foe in the player phase, but thanks to Vantage 3, she becomes a threat in the enemy phase as well (except to Bow and Dagger users!). The enemy will have to think twice before attacking her if she is in Vantage range. Miracle

makes her survivable and thanks to the quantity of attacks she will be dishing out, it will be activated a lot! The choices in C and Seal create a gap in the physical side of combat, while Distant Ward provides some protection when it comes to magic.

Ninja Laevatein Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ninja Laevatein Roles

Laevatein - Ninja of Múspell 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

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

Ninja Laevatein Strengths

Attack Twice with Twin Star Axe

Ninja Laevatein's weapon, Twin Star Axe, allows her to strike twice per attack. It is very similar to Brave Axe+, but it has 3 additional Mt and it also works when attacked by enemies. It also has a Blade effect discussed below. This is a very powerful skill when combined with the effects of Vantage 3 as it makes her a dual-phase monster! Make sure to inherit it onto her as it is fairly inexpensive.

Very Strong with Buffs!

Characters that have Synergy with Ninja Laevatein
Legendary Eliwood [9.0/10]	Astram [8.5/10]	Legendary Azura [9.5/10]	Peony [9.5/10]

Twin Star Axe also possesses an effect that is half as powerful as a Blade tome. It grants Atk equal to half of all the bonuses active on Laevatein. It might not be a full-on Blade tome effect, but since this axe allows her to strike twice, it can be said that this is the same effect! Make sure to get allies that grant Laevatein lots of buffs such as the ones lited above. In addition, Legendary Azura and Peony can grant her an extra action which boosts her power even more! It will rain Twin Star axe strikes when she is paired with them and only the most durable will survive.

Can counterattack any magic attack

Ninja Laevatein's A skill, Distant Ward, allows her to counterattack a magic attack regardless of range. Additionally, she gains Atk/Res+5 when a magic foe initiates combat, making her exceptional at tanking and countering magic attackers.

This synergizes well with the effects of Vantage 3 which makes her ver deadly against magic users. Consider inheriting it onto her as it is quite inexpensive as a skill.

Atk/Def inflicted onto a wide area

Ninja Laevatein's C skill, Atk/Def Rein 3 inflicts -4 Atk/Def on foes within 2 spaces during combat. It helps both Ninja Laevatein and allies as the range is modest and it affects enemies even if Laevatein is not directly part of combat. Laevatein's flying movement makes it easy to position her 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.

Ninja Laevatein Weaknesses

Low Spd

Ninja Laevatein has low Spd especially if she is using Twin Star Axe. Though she has enough power to not rely on follow-up attacks, watch out for high-powered enemies that can nail follow-up attacks on her.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Ninja Laevatein 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.
