What Kind of Character Are They? ・Refined Vision of Daein grants Atk/Res+6, bonus Special charges per attack, and a warping effect to Pelleas and nearby allies, neutralizes Atk/Spd penalties on Pelleas, and grants Pelleas bonus stats, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus true damage, post-combat healing, and a Miracle effect.

Pelleas Skills at 5★

At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+6, "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)," and "unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat.

Cooldown Count = 5
If unit’s HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit’s HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP.

If unit’s HP ≤ 80% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd +7 during combat.

Pelleas Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) Attack Boon ★★★★☆
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (4) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (9) Res Bane ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

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

+Atk/-Def

The best IVs for Pelleas are +Atk and -Def. A +Atk IV helps him deal more damage to enemies. His mediocre Def stat is of less importance to him and thus it is safe to take Def as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge Project

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Pelleas to +10. His Atk is a superboon and maximizing his damage potential will help him win more matchups.

Pelleas Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Pelleas's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+6, "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)," and "unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd, and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat.
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), restores 7 HP to unit when unit deals damage to foe during combat, and also, if unit's HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP (once per combat; does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce HP to 0).
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Vision of Daein

Refined Vision of Daein grants Atk/Res+6, bonus Special charges per attack, and a warping effect to Pelleas and nearby allies at the start of each turn.

In combat, refined Vision of Daein neutralizes Atk/Spd penalties on Pelleas, grants Pelleas Atk/Spd/Def/Res+10, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus true damage equal to 15% of his Atk, 7 HP post-combat healing, and a Miracle effect.

The 7 HP post-combat healing and Miracle effect work well together, preventing Pelleas from being knocked out unless he is attacked twice in combat.

Pelleas 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.

Pelleas Strengths

Refined Vision of Daein provides good support and survivability

Refined Vision of Daein grants Atk/Res+6, bonus Special charges per attack, and a warping effect to Pelleas and nearby allies at the start of each turn.

In combat, refined Vision of Daein neutralizes Atk/Spd penalties on Pelleas, grants Pelleas Atk/Spd/Def/Res+10, a guaranteed follow-up attack, bonus true damage equal to 15% of his Atk, 7 HP post-combat healing, and a Miracle effect.

The 7 HP post-combat healing and Miracle effect work well together, preventing Pelleas from being knocked out unless he is attacked twice in combat.

Pelleas Weaknesses

Low Def stat

Pelleas unfortunately has a low base 21 Def stat which leaves him vulnerable to physical threats. Keep him away from foes that deal physical damage as much as possible.

Fierce competition

Pelleas also faces competition from various red mages in the metagame, covering both offensive and defensive/supportive archetypes. Most of which have superior exclusive effects tied into their kits.

It will take significant investment for Pelleas to carve his own role in your barracks, but it is possible.

The comment on the refine says, "The 7 HP post-combat healing and Miracle effect work well together," but the refine description says the healing is during combat, not post combat: "restores 7 HP to unit when unit deals damage to foe during combat".
