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

+Atk and -Spd

Halloween Sophia's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. +Atk helps Sophia boost damage output to eliminate her foes on her counterattacks. Her Spd is a dump stat and boosting it will not change most of her 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 Sophia, we recommend a +Atk IV. Maximizing her Atk ensures that she kills her foes after one round of combat. Taking a +Res IV is also worth if you are committing to a support or tank build with her high Res.

Halloween Sophia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Sophia Roles

Sophia - Cobweb Prophet 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 Sophia 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.

Halloween Sophia Strengths

Very High Res Stat

Halloween Sophia's Res stat is the second highest among other units in the game (as of October 2021) at base 42, just behind Halloween Rhea's base 42 with a superboon.

This makes her a premiere magical wall unit capable of tanking magic damage safely for the rest of the team.

Spider Plush+ is a Good Inheritable Tome

Spider Plush+ is a strong blue tome, assuming Halloween Sophia meets the conditions to activate it in combat.

It has multiple effects that rely on her 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%

Spider Plush+ is fully reliant on meeting these conditions in order to function. Since the weapon is active on enemy phase, and Halloween Sophia's stats are suited for enemy phase, the two are a perfect fit!

Halloween Sophia Weaknesses

Low Spd Stat

Halloween Sophia's Spd stat sits as base 23, which is very low compared to the other units in the game. She will be prone to getting attacked twice by her foes.

Below Average Def Stat

In addition to her low Spd, Halloween Sophia's Def stat sits at base 27, which is not enough to reliably survive against physical foes, especially bow units.

Ensure that Halloween Sophia only engages combat against magical foes to take advantage of her very high Res. Getting attacked twice by magical foes is of no concern to a bulky magic wall like Sophia.

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Halloween Sophia takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep her out of the range of archers, and leave them to other units.
