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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Galle will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Def/-Spd

The best IVs for Galle are +Def and -Spd. Galle's Def is his key stat, giving him a role as a physical tank.

His Spd is very low at base 22 and is unsalvageable against foes with high Spd stats. It is better to take it as a bane to avoid hindering Galle's bulk and attacking power.

+Def for a +10 Merge Project

We recommend +Def when merging Galle up to +10 to maximize his physical bulk.

Galle Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Galle Roles

Galle - Azure Rider 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

Galle 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.

Galle Strengths

Refined Wyvern Lance has built-in Crux with Guard

Refined Wyvern Lance has a built-in Atk/Def Crux effect with Guard added on to it, cripping nearby foes even when Galle is not in combat.

In combat, refined Wyvern Lance inflicts an Atk/Def penalty onto Galle's foes and grants Galle Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat and neutralizes Atk/Def penalties applied to Galle in combat.

This refined weapon provides both in-combat effects and support to allies, giving Galle a multi-purpose role on each team.

Great stats for a double wall role!

Galle has a base Def or 38 which is excellent if he wants to soak up physical attacks. His Res is at 28 which is slightly above average so with some IVs and merges, he can definitely tank both kinds of attacks. With Guard Lance+, and other skills he can be a great wall in most situations.

He does have a glaring weakness to bow users with high Spd or bow users that use Brave Bow+. Be mindful of his position in relation to these units! Use his great flying mobility to your advantage.

Team gets an Atk boost on odd-numbered turns

Galle's default C skill Odd Atk Wave will grant Galle and adjacent allies Atk+6 on odd-numbered turns. Since this C skill actually gives the bonus to Galle and not just his allies, the combined effect of this skill and Brazen Atk/Def 3 gives Galle Atk +13 when entering combat on odd-numbered turns. Of course, this is if Brazen Atk/Def 3 is activated.

If you prefer, you can follow our Budget Galle build and get another Brazen skill in his Sacred Seal slot. Our builds section includes an explanation on how to use this simple yet effective build.

Galle Weaknesses

Vulnerable to follow-up attacks

Galle's Spd at Lv. 40 is only 22. This makes him very vulnerable to follow-up attacks! This weakness can make Galle pretty squishy despite his high defenses. Be mindful of his positioning against units that can score follow-up attacks on him.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Galle 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.
