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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Marcia are +Spd and -HP. Boosting Marcia's Spd allows her to perform follow-up attacks more easily and prevent enemy follow-up attacks more often at the same time.

Both her HP and Res are less important stats, but we recommend going -HP as a bane because it is easier to patch up using Legendary or Mythic blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Marcia to +10. Her Spd is high enough to compete with the fastest units in the game, thus it should be boosted as much as possible.

Marcia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Marcia Roles

Marcia - Petulant Knight 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

Marcia is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Marcia Strengths

Unbound Lance+ is a great inheritable weapon

Marcia's Unbound Lance+ is active with the Atk/Def-5 penalties applied to the Red Mage.

Marcia's Unbound Lance+ is a great inheritable weapon.

As long as Marcia is not adjacent to an ally, it inflicts an Atk/Def-5 debuff on her foe during combat and neutralizes the foe's bonuses to those stats as well.

As a flying unit, Marcia can position herself over mountains, rivers, or trees and almost always guarantee that her weapon's condition is met at all times.

Spd/Def Gap 3 can buff an ally from any distance

Marcia comes with Spd/Def Gap 3 which can grant bonuses to her ally with the highest combination of Spd and Def at the start of each turn.

This buff is granted no matter how close or far Marcia is to the ally in question.

With proper teambuilding, you can pre-select the benefactor of these bonuses and have Marcia apply them each turn!

Marcia Weaknesses

Weak to bows

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

Marcia as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★☆☆☆

Marcia only has Unbound Lance+ for useful fodder. Fury 3 can be obtained from Hinata, a day 1 unit, while Spd/Def Gap 3 is a niche skill and there are better options.

Unbound Lance+ is a great weapon though, so keep your Marcia copies around as combat manuals in case you need this skill.
