◯ = 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 Winter Bernadetta are +Spd and -Res. As mainly an offensive unit, Winter Bernadetta will find additional Atk or Spd very helpful. It will also help her prevent her foe's follow-up attacks, making them reliant on a Spd check.
We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Winter Bernadetta to +10 to maximize her Spd stat and improve her follow-up attack capabilities.

| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 14 Range: 2 HP: Grants Spd+3. At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants 【Paranoia】 and "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn, and deals 1 damage to unit and those allies. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99% or if Penalty is active on unit, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = 10% of unit's Spd at start of combat + 6, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). Enables 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit, deals damage = damage dealt to unit × 2, + 5 (max 21; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. |

Refined Hrist now has built-in 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】 and an accelerated Special trigger, deals 1 damage and grants 【Paranoia】 and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack
to Bernadetta and nearby allies at the start of each turn, grants Bernadetta Atk/Spd+6, an extra Atk/Spd bonus equal to 6 + 10% of her Spd, bonus true damage equal to 5 + 2x the damage already dealt to Bernadetta (max 21), bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack, and a Null Follow-Up effect.
This weapon refine is amazing and is absolutely worth using Divine Dew on.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Winter Bernadetta is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.
Winter Bernadetta's refined Hrist is a loaded weapon with multiple effects that swing combat in her team's favor.
Refined Hrist now has built-in 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】 and an accelerated Special trigger, and grants 【Paranoia】 and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack
to Bernadetta and nearby allies at the start of each turn.
【Paranoia】 is a rare status effect that grants Atk+5 and a Desperation effect if the user has less than max HP, and also grants a Vantage effect if the user has less than max HP and the foe has either the same Range as the user or 3 or more 【Penalty】 effects applied to them.
In combat, refined Hrist grants Bernadetta Atk/Spd+6, an extra Atk/Spd bonus equal to 6 + 10% of her Spd, bonus true damage equal to 5 + 2x the damage already dealt to Bernadetta (max 21), bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack, and a Null Follow-Up effect.
Having two instances of bonus true damage adds up, and when combined with the Desperation effect from 【Paranoia】, can allow Bernadetta to nuke down her foe with ease.
Winter Bernadetta takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane or Rauðrwolf+, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Winter Bernadetta can be used to inherit Atk/Spd Solo 4, Lull Spd/Res 3 or Rouse Atk/Spd 3. However, Winter Bernadetta can provide some firepower in your cavalry lineups so think carefully before fodderring her off. Additionally, she is a special hero and this means she is only available from specific banners.
Winter Bernadetta is a limited time Hero who can be pulled from a Special Heroes Summoning Event. They do not appear in regular summons.
Note: Not currently a featured hero in any Summon events.

In the best builds, is it really suppose for us to get Rouse Atk/Def 3?? I say this since in the budget build it also says Rouse Atk/Def 3, and usually budget builds go for the hero abilities and winter Bernie has Rouse Atk/Spd 3, and Rouse Atk/Def 3 is quite rare since only 3 heroes have it.
