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 -Res

Wolf's best IVs are +Atk and -Res . +Atk is a Superboon and boosts his already high Atk stat even further, allowing him to deal more damage per attack. His Res 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 Wolf, we recommend a +Atk IV. Maximizing his Atk ensures that he deals the most damage possible.

Wolf Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Wolf Roles

Wolf - Coyote's Loyal 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

Wolf is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Wolf Strengths

Strong Offensive Unit

Wolf's Keen Coyote Bow is a strong offensive weapon perfect for eliminating enemies.

It grants a flat Atk+3 no matter what, and then Atk/Spd+6 and a Desperation effect if Wolf's HP ≥ 25% and he initiates combat.

Wolf's native Life and Death 4 also works well with Keen Coyote Bow.

The bulk reduction drawbacks of using Life and Death 4 don't matter if Wolf attacks consecutively and eliminates his foe before they can counterattack!

Def/Res Snag Reduces Foe's Stats

Wolf also comes with Def/Res Snag 3, which can reduce the Def and Res on the nearest foes within 4 spaces of both Wolf and the target unit of a movement Assist skill.

Wolf also comes with Reposition, which activates Def/Res Snag 3 when used!

When Wolf is not in range to kill an enemy with his offensive prowess, he can support his team by reducing the stats of his foes instead.

Wolf Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Wolf 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 him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

His low base Res stat of 20 doesn't help this problem of his. Keep him away from tome and dragonstone users!

Wolf as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Wolf comes with multiple premium skills worth inheriting to other units in Life and Death 4, Def/Res Snag 3, and Panic Smoke 3.

Def/Res Snag 3 is unique to Wolf as of October 2021, but its use is rather niche compared to other B skills.

Through pre-inheritance of Life and Death 3, you can use one copy of Wolf to inherit Life and Death 4 and one of his other skills!
