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/-HP

The best IVs for Young Innes are +Spd and -HP.

He has a Superboon in Spd and raising it will enable him to potentially double enemy units.

If you would like more one-shot potential, however, you can also opt to make him +Atk instead.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Young Innes. He will have 46 Spd at +10, making it easier for him to double.

If you would like more power of out him, consider +Atk for merging instead.

Requires investment to be a solid option
