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 and -Spd

Halloween Kurthnaga's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. +Atk helps him boost damage output to eliminate his foes on his counterattacks. His Spd is a dump stat and boosting it will not change most of his matchups, thus it is safe to take as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge Project

If you want to build a +10 merged Halloween Kurthnaga, we recommend a +Atk IV. Maximizing his Atk ensures that he kills his foes after one round of combat. His Def and Res are above average as well; they're decent options if you want to focus on tanking specific matchups.

Halloween Kurthnaga Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Kurthnaga Roles

Kurthnaga - Autumn Goldoan 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

Halloween Kurthnaga is a close magic 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 Res stat.

Halloween Kurthnaga Strengths

Lantern Breath+ is a Good Inheritable Dragonstone

Lantern Breath+ is a strong dragonstone, assuming Halloween Kurthnaga meets the conditions to activate it in combat.

It has multiple effects that rely on his foe either initiating combat or having HP ≥ 75%.

Below is a summary of its effects:

1	Grants Atk+5 during combat if foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75%
2	Inflicts Atk-5 on foe during combat if foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75%
3	Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat if foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75%
4	Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res if foe's Range = 2

Lantern Breath+ is fully reliant on meeting these conditions in order to function!

Above Average Bulk

Halloween Kurthnaga's defensive stats are all above average, with base 45 HP, 36 Def, and 35 Res. The high HP stat is beneficial to use skills such as Infantry Pulse 3. His Def and Res stats, while not impressive, are still rather high and enough to withstand a couple of attacks.

Halloween Kurthnaga Weaknesses

Mediocre Spd

Halloween Kurthnaga's Spd stat is below average, sitting at base 27. It is not good enough where investment would change matchups.

However, it is decent enough where he will outspeed pure tanks who have opted to dump Spd altogether.

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Halloween Kurthnaga also takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Falchion or Naga, and one blow from these types of weapons is sure to take him/her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
