Dieck Skills at 5★

Tiger-Roar Axe Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and also at start of combat, if foe's HP = 100%, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.

Luna Cooldown Count = 3 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

Close Def 4 If foe initiates combat and uses sword, lance, axe, dragonstone or beast damage, grants Def/Res+8 and neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Null Follow-Up 3 Disables foe’s skills that guarantee foe’s follow-up attack and foe’s skills that prevent unit’s follow-up attack.

Threat. Atk/Def 3 At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of a foe, grants Atk/Def +5 to unit for 1 turn and inflicts Atk/Def -5 on foes within 2 spaces through their next actions.

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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/-Res

The best IVs for Dieck are +Atk and -Res. Since Dieck can guarantee follow-up attacks through Tiger-Roar Axe, he does not heavily rely on Spd. Because of this, it is better to directly increase his damage by taking a +Atk IV. It is also a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible.

For the preferred bane, you can go for a -Res IV as Dieck relies on his high Def to defend against his foes. His Res is quite low and he shouldn't be relied upon to defend against magic damage.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Dieck to +10. This is for the same reasons as above! If you max him out, Dieck will be able to take out a decent range of enemies if he is able to score the follow-up attack from Tiger-Roar Axe.

Dieck Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Dieck's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Tiger-Roar Axe	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 4 + number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 2 (max 10), inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Tiger-Roar Axe

Refined Tiger-Roar Axe grants Dieck up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+15, a guaranteed follow-up attack, damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def, a Guard effect, and Special cooldown -1 before his first attack.

Receiving both a Guard effect and true damage reduction makes Dieck deceptively bulky, and the Special skipping effect can bypass his foe's own Guard effects and allow Dieck to easily trigger his Special in combat.

Dieck Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Dieck Roles

Dieck - Wounded Tiger 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

Dieck 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.

Dieck Strengths

Tiger-Roar Axe has great defensive effects

Dieck's base Tiger-Roar Axe grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat and a guaranteed follow-up attack if his foe is at full HP at start of combat.

When refined, Tiger-Roar Axe instead grants Dieck up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+15, a guaranteed follow-up attack, damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def, a Guard effect, and Special cooldown -1 before his first attack.

Receiving both a Guard effect and true damage reduction makes Dieck deceptively bulky, and the Special skipping effect can bypass his foe's own Guard effects and allow Dieck to easily trigger his Special in combat.

The weapon refine vastly improves Dieck's performance in combat and should be equipped when using Dieck as Dieck is a completely different unit without this weapon refine.

Dieck Weaknesses

Redundancy

Dieck is a bulky Axe Infantry unit which is covered by quite a lot of other heroes with a similar archetype.

Dieck will have to fight for a place onto team compositions by relying on his bulk using refined Tiger-Roar Axe. Most modern Axe Infantry units outclass Dieck both offensively and defensively, and investment will be necessary to warrant using Dieck over those other options.
