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/-Spd

The best IVs for Linhardt is +Atk/-Spd.

Despite speed being his superboon, he is actually still very slow compared to other staff units in the game like Veronica so it's all right to have it as his bane.

Having higher Atk means he can push for more damage with his weapon, possibly reducing enemy units low enough that his own teammates can finish them off.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

Linhardt actually makes for a good tanky unit with his high Def and Res, and can be made more effective with a +Atk boon. This will round out his stats a little more, especially if you are considering giving him with Fort. Def/Res 3.

This will allow him to still be able to deal damage while taking hits. If you do plan to make him a support tank for your units, you could opt for either +Def or +Res instead.

Linhardt Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Linhardt Roles

Linhardt - Hevring's Heir 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

Linhardt is a ranged magic 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 Res stat. However, as he uses a staff, his damage would normally be halved without a Wrathful Staff effect.

Linhardt Strengths

Weapon skill deals fixed damage to several foes

Linhardt's' weapon skill Pain+ will deal 10 damage to foes, regardless of their Def and Res. In addition, it will deal fixed damage to nearby foes as well, so you can increase the amount by inheriting Savage Blow 3. This skill is also super useful for weakening foes when you are trying to level up another unit.

Linhardt brings the Pain under the Full Moon!

Buffs Allies Using Distant Guard 3

A very easy to trigger buff, Distant Guard 3 grants +4 Def/Res in combat to all ally units within 2 spaces of him if the foe is using a bow, dagger, tome or staff weapon. The fact that the range for this weapon is 2 spaces makes it very easy to utilize as it helps keep Linhardt safe from attackers.

Automatic HP regeneration

Linhardt's B Skill Renewal 3 will will let hin recover 10 HP at the start of every second turn. Since he can regain lost HP even without a healer on the team, taking a little damage does not stop him completely.

Linhardt Weaknesses

Does not have a strong sense of uniqueness

Linhardt has a good base kit, but he does not boast any unique skill nor characteristic that sets him apart from other staff healers. If you are to make use of him in the long run, we suggest inheriting powerful skills onto him to help him contribute to your team more.
