| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Refined Goddess Axe boosts key stats in exchange for weakening situational stats, grants a brave effect, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus true damage, bonus Special charges per attack, and post-combat healing. |
Lex Skills at 5★
|
Might: 11 Range: 1 Grants Def+5 and inflicts Spd/Res-5 on unit. Unit attacks twice. (Even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice.) |
|
Range: 1 Moves adjacent ally to opposite side of unit. |
|
At start of combat, if unit’s HP = 100%, grants Atk/Def+5, but if unit attacked, deals 1 damage to unit after combat. |

Lex Best IVs

| Atk (19) |
|
★★★★★ |
| Spd (1) |

★★☆☆☆ |
| Def (15) |

| Res (0) |
|
★★☆☆☆ |
◯ = 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.
+Atk/-Res
The best IVs for Lex are +Atk and -Res. Since Goddess Axe guarantees him a second strike in both phases, Lex is better off getting +Atk to maximize his offenses. Unlike other Brave weapon users, Lex's Spd is not entirely useless as it can protect him from follow-up attacks because it is not in abysmally low levels. You are better off taking a bane in -Res instead as he is not designed to take attacks from magic units any way.
+Atk for a +10 Merge
We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Lex to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With +10 merges, Lex's Atk stat will reach 54 with the weapon skill. Without a doubt, he will hit hard especially when the strengths Goddess Axe is taken advantage of.

| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3 Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice). Grants HP+5, Atk+6, and Def+6 to unit, and inflicts Spd/Res-5 on unit. Unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def+6 to unit, deals damage = 15% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack), and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.  ：500  ：200 |
|
We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Goddess Axe
Refined Goddess Axe modifies Lex's statline, granting him HP+5, Atk/Def+6, and inflicting Spd/Res-5.
Refined Goddess Axe also grants Lex a brave effect, a guaranteed follow-up attack, Atk/Def+6, true damage equal to 15% of Lex's Def, Special cooldown charges per attack, and 7 HP post-combat healing.
This refine allows Lex to quad attack his foes, boosts key stats in exchange for weakening situational stats, and improves overall combat.

Lex Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Lex Roles
Lex is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.
Lex Strengths
Goddess Axe allows Lex to quad attack his foes
Refined Goddess Axe modifies Lex's statline, granting him HP+5, Atk/Def+6, and inflicting Spd/Res-5.
Refined Goddess Axe also grants Lex a brave effect, a guaranteed follow-up attack, Atk/Def+6, true damage equal to 15% of Lex's Def, Special cooldown charges per attack, and 7 HP post-combat healing.
This refine allows Lex to quad attack his foes, boosts key stats in exchange for weakening situational stats, and improves overall combat.
Lex Weaknesses
Low Res
Lex's Res only sits at 14 at Lv.40 when Goddess Axe is equipped. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Lex's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out. Make use of his great mobility to do so!
Weak to Cavalry-Effective Weapons
Lex takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Keen Gronnwolf+ and Dark Spikes T.
There are many cavalry-effective weapons in the game, so be careful and check which ones your enemy units are using!
Should you Unlock Potential?
| Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? |
|
|---|
We Recommend Unlocking Potential for Lex - Young Blade!
We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Lex - Young Blade from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Lex - Young Blade is very useful as a cavalry axe attacker, so you may find using Unlock Potential on Lex - Young Blade helpful if your team lacks a party member with this role.

Isn't Lex in the 3-4* pool now? He shouldn't be a 5-star exclusive unit anymore I thought?
