Summer Mercedes Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (16) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (9) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★☆☆☆☆
Def (4) Def Bane ★★☆☆☆
Res (8) Res Boon ★★★★☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk/-Spd

The best IVs for Summer Mercedes are +Atk and -Spd. Summer Mercedes's Spd is already very low and she can safely take it as a bane.

Her Atk, however, is high so increasing it can increase her overall firepower and one-shot potential.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Mercedes to 10. This is for the same reasons as above and at this point, she will reach 56 Atk. You can also take a +Res IV if you would like to build her as a magic tank.

Summer Mercedes 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.

Summer Mercedes Strengths

Steals foe's bonuses to Res through Peachy Parfait+

Summer Mercedes Peachy Parfait FEH

Buffs are granted to Summer Mercedes upon initiating, but Peachy Parfait+ doesn't stop there! The debuff to the foe can be seen too.

Peachy Parfait+ can do the following if Mercedes initiates combat, or if foe's HP ≥ 75% in the enemy phase:

  1. Grants Res +5 to Mercedes
  2. Inflicts Res -5 to the foe
  3. Grants any Res bonuses from foe to Mercedes
  4. Erases the buff from foe!

This ensures Mercedes hits harder, as a Res reduction on the foe means bigger damage for her. It also makes her tankier if she is against a magical foe. It also turns the tide of battle ifs he is able to score a battle with a foe with a huge Res buff and her Iceberg triggers.

Creates a huge gap between her Res and the opponents' stats

Summer Mercedes has the A slot skill Atk/Res Push 4, which grants Atk/Res +7 so long as her HP is at or above 25%. It will inflict damage on Mercedes after battle, but considering a higher Atk can lead to her knocking out the opponent, the effect is well worth it.

Additionally, A/R Far Trace 3 automatically applies an Atk/Res -3 to all enemies within 2 spaces of Mercedes. This is effectively a +3 Atk/Res boost when fighting against magic units so it can be said that Mercedes can gain an upwards of +10 Atk/Res just by meeting Atk/Res Push 4's trigger condition!

Don't forget the effects of Peachy Parfait discussed above! Massive Res levels mean monstrous hits from Iceberg.

A/R Far Trace 3 Enables Canto

Summer Mercedes Canto Far Trace

【Canto (Rem.)】allows Summer Mercedes to move again after performing an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction.

This will allow her to reposition herself to safety after attacking, or if she's low health, will allow her to move closer to the enemy team and allies with Wings of Mercy 3 can swoop in to her side for surprise attacks.

Summer Mercedes Weaknesses

Low Def makes her fragile

Mercedes has very low Def, which will make her vulnerable to physical damage units. Be careful when she's within range of these types of units and move her to safety!

Low Spd makes her easy to double

In addition to her low Def, Summer Mercedes also has low Spd, which makes her very easy to double. Nothing in her kit also enables her to have a guaranteed follow-up attack, so she will need to choose her targets carefully.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Mercedes takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane or a Wolf weapon like Rauðrwolf+, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Value of Skills ★★★★☆

The following skills have good inheritance value:

  • Peachy Parfait+
  • A/R Far Trace 3
  • Atk/Res Push 4

Though we do not recommend fodderring off Summer Mercedes unless you have multiple copies, the best way to make good use of a copy is get Atk/Res Push 3 from another unit so that you can get Atk/Res Push 4 and another skill line of choice from one copy of Mercedes.
