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.

Ronan Best Builds

Support Ronan

HOT
： Indignant Bow ： Reposition ： Curved Shot ： -	： Crystalline Water ： Spd/Res Discord ： Def/Res Ploy 3 ： Still Water 3 ： -

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.

Budget Ronan

： Indignant Bow ： Rally Spd/Res+ ： Iceberg ： -

： Swift Stance 3 ： Renewal 3 ： Joint Drive Spd ： Swift Stance 2 ： -

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)
Indignant Bow	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 - Villager of Iz 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

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.
