| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Refined Sparking Tome grants Tempo, Potent Follow-Up, true damage, and a damage reduction piercing effect. |
|
Might: 14 Range: 2 Grants Spd+3. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 50%, inflicts Spd/Res-6 on foe during combat and inflicts penalty on foe's Spd/Res during combat = current bonus on each of foe's stats x 2. (Example: if foe has +7 bonus to Spd, inflicts Spd-20, for a net penalty of Spd-13.) Calculates each stat penalty independently. |
|
Range: 1 Grants Spd+6 to target ally and allies within 2 spaces of target (excluding unit) for 1 turn. |
|
Grants HP+5, Atk/Spd/Def/Res+2. If unit is 5★, level 40, a Legendary or a Mythic Hero, and unit's stats total less than 175, treats unit's stats as 175 in modes like Arena. If unit is 5★, level 40, not a Legendary or a Mythic Hero, and unit's stats total less than 180, treats unit's stats as 180 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.) |
|
If a Rally Assist skill is used by unit or targets unit, inflicts Spd/Res-5 and【Guard】on foes in cardinal directions of unit and target through their next actions. 【Guard】 Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on target per attack during combat through its next action. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) |
|
At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to an ally, grants Spd+5 to unit and adjacent allies for 1 turn. |

◯ = 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.
The best IVs for Azelle are +Atk and -Def. As discussed in Azelle's Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses section, he can create large gaps in Spd between his team and the enemy so he does not need aid in Spd through IVs. The efficient way to maximize his offenses is through increasing +Atk to take advantage of the frequent follow-up attacks he will be scoring.
We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Azelle to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With +10 merges, Azelle's Atk stat will reach 58 with the weapon skill. Without a doubt, he will hit hard especially when the strengths Sparking Tome is taken advantage of.

An offensive build for Azelle aimed at maximum damage with Sparking Tome's refine plus the true damage effects of Atk/Spd Finish A and Seal.

A simple budget build for Annand that takes advantage of cheap Atk/Spd skills using Divine Codes.
| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 14 Range: 2 HP: Grants Spd+3. If unit initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 50% at start of combat, inflicts Atk-5 and Spd/Res-6 on foe, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Res = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2 (calculates each stat penalty independently), and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and also, if decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 25 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow- ups), triggers 【Potent Follow X%】 during combat (if unit cannot perform follow-up and attack twice, X = 80; otherwise, X = 40). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 and "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). |
|
Refined Sparking Tome inflicts Atk-10, Spd/Res-11 onto Azelle's foe and inflicts additional penalties to them equal to twice their stat bonuses on Atk/Spd/Res, essentially reversing those bonuses.
Refined Sparking Tome also grants Azelle a Tempo effect, a 【Potent Follow X%】 effect, true damage equal to 20% of Azelle's Spd, and 7 damage reduction on his foe's first attack.
Finally, at the start of each turn, refined Sparking Tome grants Azelle and his nearby allies Atk/Spd+6 and a 50% damage reduction piercing status effect.
Refined Sparking Tome creates large swings in combat through its penalties applied to Azelle's foe and bonuses applied to himself, especially the 【Potent Follow X%】 effect which adds a lot of additional damage in combat.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Refined Sparking Tome inflicts Atk-10, Spd/Res-11 onto Azelle's foe and inflicts additional penalties to them equal to twice their stat bonuses on Atk/Spd/Res, essentially reversing those bonuses.
Refined Sparking Tome also grants Azelle a Tempo effect, a 【Potent Follow X%】 effect, true damage equal to 20% of Azelle's Spd, and 7 damage reduction on his foe's first attack.
Finally, at the start of each turn, refined Sparking Tome grants Azelle and his nearby allies Atk/Spd+6 and a 50% damage reduction piercing status effect.
Refined Sparking Tome creates large swings in combat through its penalties applied to Azelle's foe and bonuses applied to himself, especially the 【Potent Follow X%】 effect which adds a lot of additional damage in combat.
Azelle's Def and Res sit at only 28 and 25 respectively. This makes him somehow fragile. This is why we have a Null Follow-Up build for him as a follow-up attack from a slower, but hard-hitting foe can easily spell Azelle getting knocked out.
While R Duel Infantry 4 does give some nice stats, the A skill can be home to very powerful skills that are cornerstones for great builds. If you plan to use Azelle outside of the Arena, make sure to get him an A skill that allows him to perform better in combat.

Azelle can be used to inherit R Duel Infantry 4 or Joint Hone Spd. Rally Up Spd+ and Spd/Res Ruse 3 carry value too, but you are better off getting the 2 most valuable skills instead.
Take note that, R Duel Infantry 4 is rarer than Joint Hone Spd as of Feb 2021. Keep this in mind when picking a skill to fodder. However Azelle is a powerful unit since Sparking Tome is a nice skill to build around upon so please think carefully before fodderring him off.
Azelle is a Hero who can be pulled from any summon.
Note: Not currently a featured hero in any Summon events.

Aww, please don't tell me u stopped putting the date on these builds? That's an extremely useful feature, IMO. The invested build here has to be recent, because the a/s finish seal is new, so i know it was updated after y'all began adding the dates to the builds. A new player can look at this in the future & not realize this, because they wouldn't know when the seal was released. I wasted lots of fodder building old units from suggested builds here not knowing how old they were when i was new.
