Farina Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★☆
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (8)		★★☆☆☆
Res (6)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Farina are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Farina to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. She has balanced defensive stats, but since her Def is a superbane, take a bane in Res instead.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Farina to 10. With this IV, Farina will reach 45 Spd at max merges. If you prefer relying on skills to increase Farina's Spd, you can go for a +Atk IV instead.

Farina Best Builds

Budget Farina

： Hotshot Lance ： Reposition ： Luna ： -

： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Atk/Spd Snag 3 ： Atk/Def Rein 3 ： Guidance 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A budget build for Farina. Her default kit is already good, though you can swap out her Sacred Seal with Atk/Spd Solo 3 if you wish.

Guard Bearing Farina

HOT
： Hotshot Lance ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -	： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Guard Bearing 3 ： Atk/Def Rein 3 ： Mystic Boost 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Compared to Farina's Budget setup, this build sacrifices some of the supportive ability she has in exchange for more bulk and sustain. With lots of Dragonflowers, she can have a monstrous statline and overall presence with this build.

Galeforce Attacker Farina

HOT
： Hotshot Lance ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： -	： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Dive-Bomb 3 ： Atk/Spd Rein 3 ： Heavy Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build aims to activate Galeforce in one combat through the special acceleration provided by Farina's Hotshot Lance and the Heavy Blade seal. Dive-Bomb allows Farina to attack consecutively to eliminate her opponent without fear of retaliation. The rest of her skills aim to boost her attack and speed, which also helps her win the Heavy Blade check. A different A skill that boosts her attack and speed may be used if you prefer having something more reliable than her native Catch skill.

Farina Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Farina Roles

Farina - The Great Wing 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

Farina is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Farina Strengths

Hotshot is a powerful lance that depends on Dragonflowers for perks

If Farina's HP ≥ 25%, Hotshot Lance grants bonuses depending on the number of Dragonflower enhancements Farina has been through:

• 0-2 enhancements: +4 to all stats
• 3 enhancements : +5 to all stats
• 4 enhancements : +6 to all stats
• 5+ enhancements : +7 to all stats

Additionally, if a unit at least has 3 enhancements, and HP ≥ 25%, Hotshot Lance, also neutralizes foe's bonuses in combat! This ensures Farina has a huge stat gap or closes any stat gap she has between her and her foe. 3 Dragonflower enhancements is not really that expensive, so try to get that on her if she is one of your main units!

It also accelerates Farina's Special cooldown counter so make sure to slap a Special on her!

Atk/Spd Catch and Atk/Def Rein create huge stat gaps

Atk/Spd Catch checks for the following trigger conditions:

1. If foe's HP is 100%
2. If 【Penalty】 is active on foe.

If one of these trigger conditions are active, it grants Farina +7 Atk/Spd, and if both conditions are active it grants an additional +2 Atk/Spd. This is a total of +9 Atk/Spd.

The former condition can be easily met especially in the starting turns of combat and the latter can easily be achieved thanks to Atk/Def Rein 3's effects. Together, they make Farina very powerful in-combat offensively and defensively. This can be seen in the picture above.

Excels as a Pseudo-support!

Farina can inflict debuffs on enemies by using movement-assist skills. He has access to Reposition by default, but you can freely change it. This is thanks to Atk/Spd Snag 3 inflicts -6 Atk/Spd to enemies both near Farina and the ally whom she uses a movement-assist skill on.

This means that Farina can both be an attacker and a support unit as this can fully stack with the effects of Atk/Def Rein 3.

Farina Weaknesses

Hotshot Lance is dependent on Dragonflowers

Hotshot Lance is most efficient at 3 Dragonflower enhancements, so this forces you to get some on Farina to unlock her full potential. This might be inconvenient for other players as Dragonflowers are quite valuable considering how many units there are in the game.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Farina takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

Farina as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Atk/Spd Catch 4, or Atk/Def Rein 3

Farina can be used to inherit the skills Atk/Spd Catch 4 or Atk/Def Rein 3. However, Farina is a very powerful hero especially when invested upon, please think carefully before fodderring her off.

You can also get Atk/Spd Snag 3 instead of Atk/Def Rein 3!
