New Year Plumeria Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★★
Spd (4)		★☆☆☆☆
Def (3)		★★☆☆☆
Res (7)		★★★★☆

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

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 New Year Plumeria are +Atk and -Spd. A +Atk IV helps her increase the damage she deals using her First-Dream Bow. Spd is not important for her as it is very low and thus unreliable so it can be safely taken as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging New Year Plumeria to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At this range, she can definitely score some one-hits on some defensively weaker units. If you prefer Plumeria to be a bit more tanky, you can also go for a +Res IV.

New Year Plumeria Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Plumeria Roles

Plumeria - Temptation Anew 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 Plumeria is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

New Year Plumeria Strengths

Refreshes her allies' actions, buffs allies, and debuffs enemies simultaneously

Sweet Dreams is an assist skill that allows the target ally to take another action. It also grants +3 to all stats to that target ally ally. In addition, it inflicts -4 to all stats on nearest foes within 4 spaces of the target ally.

Sweet Dreams has targeting mechanisms that are much simpler than Mirabilis's Whimsical Dream, but it is not less effective in inhibiting enemy teams. This makes it a perfect skill in modes like Aether Raids, Arena or Grand Hero Battles where every buff and penalty counts.

Can counterattack any magic attack and disables adaptive damage

New Year Plumeria's A skill, Close Ward, allows her to counterattack a magic attack regardless of range. This means she will be able to land counterattacks on dragons regardless of being a ranged unit. Additionally, she gains Atk/Res+5 when a magic foe initiates combat, making her exceptional at tanking and countering magic attackers.

It also disables adaptive damage which is very common on dragon units. This makes her a very strong matchup against said units!

This synergizes well with the effects of Quick Riposte 3 which makes her ver deadly against magic users even in the enemy phase! This is also available as a Sacred Seal if you need to use the B slot for another skill of choice.

Adaptive damage is when a skill allows a unit to calculate damage using the lower of a foe's defensive stats.

Atk/Def inflicted onto a wide area

New Year Plumeria's C skill, Atk/Def Rein 3 inflicts -4 Atk/Def on foes within 2 spaces during combat. It helps both New Year Plumeria 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.

A rare and valuable refresher-assist colorless bow flier

New Year Plumeria is one of the very few refresher-assist colorless bow flier. This allows her to fill in VERY specific niches in your lineups! We recommend against fodderring her because of this reason.

New Year Plumeria Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, New Year Plumeria 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.
