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 Tempest Trials, Lifis will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Lifis are +Spd and -HP. Lifis has a very high Spd stat and it is wise to invest into it further to win Spd checks and either utilize his native Windsweep 3 if you have it equipped, or reduce the potency of foes with skills based on Spd like Spurn 3. Lifis' Res stat is already low and taking it as a bane will not change the result of most matchups, thus having a Res bane is a safe option.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Lifis to +10 for similar reasons. As a speedy attacker, investing further into his Spd is the best choice for his traits.

Lifis Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Lifis Roles

Lifis - Terror of Iz 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

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

Lifis Strengths

High Spd stat

Lifis has a base Spd stat of 40, which is high compared to most of the cast. This allows him to easily win Spd checks to either activate his native Windsweep 3, or create follow-up attacks if opting for a different B skill.

High HP stat

Lifis also has a high base HP stat of 47. This allows him to easily activate skills with HP conditions like his native Wind Boost 3, or other skills like Panic Ploy 3.

Helmsman Axe+ debuffs enemies when initiating

Lifis' native Helmsman Axe+ inflicts a debuff of -4 to the foe's Atk, Spd, Def and Res whenever he is initiating combat. As a speedy infantry attacker, this is right up his alley and plays to his strengths well.

Lifis Weaknesses

Low Res stat

Lifis' base Res stat is very low at only 23. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Lifis' positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
