Ninja Shinon Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★☆
Spd (13)		★★★★★
Def (6)		★★★☆☆
Res (4)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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.

+Spd / -HP

The best IVs for Ninja Shinon are +Spd and -HP. Ninja Shinon's damage is reliant on his Spd, and you should take advantage of his already high base Spd to ensure he is faster than his opponnet. His defensive stats are all even and both Def and Res are superbanes,, thus taking -HP as a bane is a safe choice.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Ninja Shinon to 10. At +10 Merges, Shinon's Spd will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, considering he has access to Spd boosting skills. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Atk IV instead to help him get more direct firepower.

Ninja Shinon Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ninja Shinon Roles

Shinon - Sharptongue Ninja 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

Ninja Shinon 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.

Ninja Shinon Strengths

Ninja Yumi+ is a great inheritable bow for speedy units

Ninja Shinon's inheritable weapon Ninja Yumi+ is a great weapon for fast units, and Ninja Shinon himself is no slouch when it comes to Spd.

It is effective against flying foes like other bows, attacks twice if the unit initiates combat, and inflicts a Def/Res-4 penalty similar to other ninja weapons. However, unlike previous ninja weapons, it does not grant Spd+4.

What sets Ninja Yumi+ apart is that if the user's Spd > foe's Spd, it deals bonus damage = 50% of the difference between the two stats, with a maximum bonus of 4 damage per hit.

When initiating combat, this can lead to an additional 8 damage, and even up to 16 damage if Ninja Shinon can quad the opponent through a follow-up attack!

Atk/Spd Solo 4 and Lull Spd/Def 3 work well with Ninja Yumi+

Ninja Shinon's A and B skills Atk/Spd Solo 4 and Lull Spd/Def 3 respectively both aid him in eliminating his enemies quickly in the player phase.

Atk/Spd Solo 4 grants Atk/Spd+7 assuming Ninja Shinon is not adjacent to an ally, and Lulll Spd/Def 3 inflicts a Spd/Def-3 penalty on the foe and negates their bonuses to those stats.

These both allow Ninja Shinon to outspeed the opponent and inflict more damage with Ninja Yumi+, through the extra Atk, lowered foe Def, and even the Spd check!

Deadeye is a hard counter to some powerful skills

The raw power of Ninja Shinon's base kit is highlighted by this Deadeye proc.

Deadeye not only doubles Ninja Shinon's damage upon activation, but it also disables damage reduction skills. This allows him to counter Fallen Ike's Repel 3 and Brave Edelgard's Black Eagle Rule among other similar skills provided that it is not a special skill.

Ninja Shinon Weaknesses

Ninja Yumi+ has low weapon Mt

Ninja Yumi+ only has 7 weapon Mt and is reliabnt on the user's Atk and Spd stats to inflict maximum damage.

A lot of today's meta relevant units either have high Spd through Spd stacking aided with Spd-based damage reduction skills like Spurn 3, or are very durable with high Def.

The low weapon Mt of Ninja Yumi+ compared to other weapons may lead to low damage attacks.

Ninja Shinon as a Source Hero

Ninja Shinon has multiple skills worth inheriting onto other heroes in Ninja Yumi+, Deadeye, Atk/Spd Solo 4, and Lull Spd/Def 3.

Of these options, Ninja Yumi+ is unique to him, and the other three can be obtained elsewhere. Deadeye is rather rare compared to the other two, though.
