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.

+Def/-Spd

The best IVs for Valentine's Henriette are +Def and -Spd.

The Queen of Askr already sports very good bulk, and having more Def will round it her tankiness. Paired with her Distant Def 4, she can further reduce damage from bow and dagger units.

Because of her poor speed (on par with her husband's), it's fine to have it as her bane as she does not rely on her speed to execute follow-up attacks.

+Def for a +10 Merge

As discussed above, Henriette's Res is already very high, investing in +Def when merging her will round out her bulk. This ensures that she takes less damage no matter what source.

At max merges, her Def can go up to a total of 42. However, you can also opt for a +Res merged Valentine's Henriette to make her an effective magic tank.

Valentine's Henriette Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Valentine's Henriette Roles

Henriette - Overflowing Love 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

Valentine's Henriette 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.

Valentine's Henriette Strengths

Possesses a unique defensive mechanic in A/R Far Save

【Savior】 is a never-before-seen mechanic that allows Valentine's Henriette to take an attack in place of an ally. It occurs when a ranged foe attacks a unit within 2 spaces of Henriette and when this happens, she is granted +4 Atk/Res

Henriette swoops in to take an attack for her dear daughter, Sharena!

This is very helpful as Valentine's Henriette is very strong in the enemy phase. She can cover for allies that are not great at receiving attacks.

Powerful enemy phase skills that synergize with A/R Far Save

Valentine's Henriette is built around A/R Far Save, and her other skills make the mechanic more viable as they increase her ability to take attacks in the enemy phase:

• Distant Def 4 grants +8 Def/Res to Henriette when a ranged foe initiates combat on her.
• Slick Fighter neutralizes the penalties she has and grants her a guaranteed follow-up attack when the foe initiates combat.

In most situations, attacking Henriette's allies is a punishment to the attacking unit and 【Savior】 forces enemies to attack her instead of her allies. This gimmick makes her a great cornerstone of your defenses side. She carries a ton of strategic value even at base merges so think carefully before foddering her off. She just might be that one niche unit that will propel your teams to the next level!

That's what you get for attacking Sharena, bow cavalier.

Unity Blooms+ synergizes with her kit

Valentine's Henriette will be near allied units most of the time, so Unity Blooms+'s trigger conditions is not really a concern. It inflicts -5 Atk/Res to the foe in combat with her on both phases so it allows her to deal more damage and reduce the damage she takes. Additionally, it heals her up for 4 HP every time she lands a hit so this will contribute to her sustain in the long run.

Valentine's Henriette Weaknesses

No Close Counter and Armor Unit

As an armored unit, Valentine's Henriette is restricted by her movement, but this could be remedied if paired with a team using Armor March 3.

Alternatively, you can always give her the Armored Boots Sacred Seal.

Without Close Counter built into her kit, she has no way to retaliate against enemy units who attack her with melee weapons.

If her A skill is replaced with Close Counter, she will be losing some of the bonus bulk from Distant Def 4, along with taking the full brunt of an enemy's attack if they carry buffs.

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Valentine's Henriette takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Armorslayer+ or Hammer+.

Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
