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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Sonia will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk/-Spd

The best IVs for Sonia are +Atk/Spd. Because her Spd stat is already low, it's good to have it as a bane and increase her Atk.

With the Quick Riposte 3 seal, she'll potentially be able to tank and counterattack ranged enemy units.

However, because Sonia's not a very powerful unit to begin with, we recommend not investing a Trait Fruit in her to change her stats.

+Spd for +10 Merge

If you are merging Sonia, it's recommended to increase her Spd. This, at least, will get her to 32 Spd at +10, and reinforcing this with skills and Seals will allow her to potentially double enemy units.

If you would like to focus on one-shotting enemy units, you can +Atk her instead.

Sonia Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Sonia's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Fimbulvetr Morn	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Res-6 on foe during combat, deals damage = 20% of unit's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Res+6, 【Essence Drain】, and 【Bonus Doubler】 to unit and target allies for 1 turn (if support partner is on player team, targets any support partner within 2 spaces of unit; otherwise, targets ally with the highest Atk within 2 spaces of unit). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Res-6 on foe during combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Fimbulvetr Morn

At the start of each turn, refined Fimbulvetr Morn grants Atk/Res+6, 【Essence Drain】, and 【Bonus Doubler】 to Sonia and either her support partner within 2 spaces or the ally with the highest Atk within 2 spaces (if support partner is not present).

【Essence Drain】 is a powerful effect first introduced by Fallen Nergal and allows the unit with 【Essence Drain】 to steal foe's bonus effects. 【Essence Drain】 alone made Fallen Nergal a top tier unit, and now Sonia gains a similar effect, albeit not as powerful as it only grants 【Essence Drain】 to Sonia and one ally.

Refined Fimbulvetr Morn also inflicts Atk/Res-12 and a Guard effect onto Sonia's foe during combat and grants Sonia true damage equal to 20% of her Res, 7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

Sonia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Sonia Roles

Sonia - Inhuman Beauty 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

Sonia 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.

Sonia Strengths

Fimbulvetr Morn applies 【Essence Drain】 to Sonia and one ally

At the start of each turn, refined Fimbulvetr Morn grants Atk/Res+6, 【Essence Drain】, and 【Bonus Doubler】 to Sonia and either her support partner within 2 spaces or the ally with the highest Atk within 2 spaces (if support partner is not present).

【Essence Drain】 is a powerful effect first introduced by Fallen Nergal and allows the unit with 【Essence Drain】 to steal foe's bonus effects. 【Essence Drain】 alone made Fallen Nergal a top tier unit, and now Sonia gains a similar effect, albeit not as powerful as it only grants 【Essence Drain】 to Sonia and one ally.

Refined Fimbulvetr Morn also inflicts Atk/Res-12 and a Guard effect onto Sonia's foe during combat and grants Sonia true damage equal to 20% of her Res, 7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

Sonia Weaknesses

Low Spd Makes Her Easily Doubled

Despite being tanky, Sonia possessed low Spd, making her easily doubled by a lot of other units.

Keep her away from foes that can land doubles or even quads against her to ensure her survival.
