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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for New Year Velouria are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows New Year Velouria to nail more follow-up attacks and protect her from hostile follow-up attacks. This improves her performance on both offensive and defensive ends. Her Res is of less importance so it can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging New Year Velouria to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At this point, her Spd will reach 48 so she can easily score follow-up attacks even without the support of her allies. If you prefer relying on skills and support to increase Velouria's Spd, you can go for a +Atk IV instead.

New Year Velouria Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Velouria Roles

Velouria - Renewed Wolfpup 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

New Year Velouria 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.

New Year Velouria Strengths

Can counterattack from any range

By default, New Year Velouria has the excellent A skill Distant Counter, which lets her counterattack both close and ranged foes. As long as the foe does not have a skill that prevents counterattacks, New Year Velouria can counter any foe and deal tons of damage in the enemy phase.

Null Follow-up Prevents Enemy Follow-up Attacks and Ensures Velouria's Follow-up Attacks

Null Follow Up 3 neutralizes effects that guarantee enemy follow-up attacks on New Year Velouria and effects that prevent New Year Velouria from executing follow-up attacks. This makes New Year Velouria a great counter for units that have skills like Bow Breaker 3, Bold Fighter 3 or Wary Fighter 3.

New Year Velouria Weaknesses

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

New Year Velouria takes 1.5x damage from beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir, 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!
