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/-Def

The best IVs for Luthier are +Atk and -Def. A +Atk IV will effectively raise Luthier's overall firepower.

Luthier has already low Def so you can take this as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Luthier to 10. This will enable him to hit 54 Atk at +10, which will help him in dealing parge amounts of damage when he attacks.

Luthier Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Luthier Roles

Luthier - Odd Wayfarer 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

Luthier 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.

Luthier Strengths

Gronnfox+ inflicts debuffs upon initiation

Luther's various debuffs as seen above!

Gronnfox+ inflicts an in-combat -4 Atk/Spd/Def/Res to Luthier's foe when he initiates combat. This makes Luthier a great player phase attacker as this can be treated as a Swift Sparrow-like skill. Additionally, it is an in-combat buff which makes it easy to stack with other buffs.

This pairs well with the rest of his kit as he also comes with Swift Sparrow 2

Prevents enemy Specials from activating!

With Guard 3, Luthier can attack without fearing he will receiving a huge amount of damage from a triggered enemy Special.

Luthier Weaknesses

Does not have a strong sense of uniqueness

Though Luthier debuts with Gronnfox+, you can make an argument that this tome is better off with another unit. 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.

We also recommend getting merges whenever possible. Merges are quite easy to obtain on him as he is a 4★ demote.

Low Def

Luthier's Def only sits at 24 at Lv. 40. Even though he can reduce damage when initating with Gronnfox+ and prevent Specials with Guard 3, you should still pay attention to powerful red physical attackers that can easily take him down.
