Ronan Skills at 5★
|
Might: 14 Range: 2 Effective against flying foes. Grants Res +3. If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP = 100% at start of combat, grants Atk+6 to unit and inflicts Atk-6 on foe during combat and also neutralizes penalties to unit's Atk and bonuses to foe's Atk (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat. |
|
Range: 1 Grants Spd/Res+6 to target ally for 1 turn. |
|
If foe initiates combat, grants Spd/Res+6 to unit during combat and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) |
|
Grants Spd +4 to allies within 2 spaces during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Spd +4 to unit during combat. |
Ronan Best IVs
Recommended IVs
| Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| HP (19) |
|
★★☆☆☆ |
| Atk (22) |
|
★★★★★ |
| Spd (12) |
|
★★★★☆ |
| Def (4) |
|
★★☆☆☆ |
| Res (10) |
|
★★★★★ |
◯ = 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.
+Res/-Def
The best IVs for Ronan are +Res and -Def. Ronan is not built to take blows from physical units to begin with so having some points off his Def would not harm his viability significantly. With that, you should maximize his Res as much as possible as his playstyle is trying to force unfair matchups on magical units.
+Res for a +10 Merge
We recommend a +Res IV when merging Ronan to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. Of course, you can also go for +Atk or +Spd IVs depending on your needs.

How to Use, Explanation
This build aims at using Ronan as a support by utilizing refined Indignant Bow, Spd/Res Discord, and Def/Res Ploy 3 to create large swings in combat. Ronan can also use his decent offenses to deal damage if necessary.

How to Use, Explanation
This is a build that uses little skill inheritance. Renewal 3 helps in keeping Ronan alive, while he does his job as a Magic tank. Swift Stance on his A slot and Sacred Seal will ensure that he can double anyone who attacks him, due to bolstering his already high speed.
Ronan Best Weapon Refine
Effect of Ronan's Refined Weapon
| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 14 Range: 2 HP: Effective against flying foes. Grants Res+3. Disables foe's skills that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" (including area-of-effect Specials). If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Def/Res+6 and Spd+5 to unit, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd/Res and foe's bonuses to Atk/Spd (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.), and deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when unit's Special triggers, calculates damage using 150% of unit's Res instead of the value of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials). Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). For allies within 3 spaces of unit, grants Atk/Spd/Res+5, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on ally, and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during their combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack, and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 10 during combat (including from area-of-effect Specials; excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials), and also, when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage from foe's attacks by an additional 10 (including from area-of-effect Specials; excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials).  ：500  ：200 |

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Indignant Bow
Refined Indignant Bow neutralizes Atk/Spd/Res penalties on Ronan, Atk/Spd bonuses on his foe, and foe's Guard and Hexblade effects.
In combat, refined Indignant Bow grants Ronan Atk/Def/Res+11 and Spd+10, bonus true damage equal to 20% of Ronan's Res, bonus Special trigger damage equal to 150% of Ronan's Res, a Preempt Pulse effect, 10 true damage reduction, and another 10 true damage reduction whenever his foe triggers an offensive Special.
Refined Indignant Bow also grants allies within 3 spaces of Ronan Atk/Spd/Res+5, a null Guard effect, and 7 true damage reduction on their foe's first attacks.
This is a fantastic weapon refine, vastly improving Ronan's performance in combat while also providing good support to nearby allies.

Ronan Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Ronan Roles
Ronan is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.
Ronan Strengths
Refined Indignant Bow grants multiple combat effects and provides support
Refined Indignant Bow neutralizes Atk/Spd/Res penalties on Ronan, Atk/Spd bonuses on his foe, and foe's Guard and Hexblade effects.
In combat, refined Indignant Bow grants Ronan Atk/Def/Res+11 and Spd+10, bonus true damage equal to 20% of Ronan's Res, bonus Special trigger damage equal to 150% of Ronan's Res, a Preempt Pulse effect, 10 true damage reduction, and another 10 true damage reduction whenever his foe triggers an offensive Special.
Refined Indignant Bow also grants allies within 3 spaces of Ronan Atk/Spd/Res+5, a null Guard effect, and 7 true damage reduction on their foe's first attacks.
This is a fantastic weapon refine, vastly improving Ronan's performance in combat while also providing good support to nearby allies.
Ronan Weaknesses
Low Def
Ronan's Def only sits at 17 at Lv.40. This makes it very easy for physical units to take him out. Be mindful of Ronan's positioning in relation to physical units that can easily take him out.
As much as possible, avoid matchups with physical units as he is not build to take on said units to begin with.

Inheriting Swift Stance 3 or Joint Drive Spd
Ronan can be used to inherit the skills Swift Stance 3 or Joint Drive Spd. However, Ronan is a rare blue bow unit who can fill in the niche role as an enemy phase unit so please think carefully before fodderring him off.

twztid13 8 months
twztid13 8 monthsAnother unit that doesn't have null follow up natively, nor in any of the recommended builds y'all have listed. I wish I understood why it's so important on some units, but not others. Is it because he is likely to kill in 1 hit? I usually can't afford to do the high investment builds on units that aren't available via grails but I'd like to build some (like Ronan) for occasional AR use. In that case, he would likely be battling strong slow armor units, & I'm not sure if NFU would help there 🤔

Why is S/R discord in the suggested build instead of D/R discord? Is it just for the speed penalty?
