Priam Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (11) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (10) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (11) No Def IV ★★★★☆
Res (4) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

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

See the IV Checker for All Units 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 Priam are +Spd and -Res. Priam's base Spd of 40 is quite high compared to other units in the game, and he even comes with Null Follow-Up 3 in his base kit. His Spd should be boosted as much as possible to guarantee follow-up attacks.

Priam's Res is quite low at base 26, and lowering it should not change most of his matchups, thus it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Priam to +10 for the same reasons mentioned above. His Spd needs to be boosted as much as possible.

Priam's base kit works well out of the box already. Replacing Sol with Bonfire gives Priam more killing potential.

Priam is a close physical 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 Def stat.

Priam Strengths

Ancient Ragnell can counterattack at any range and penalizes foes

Priam Counterattack

Priam is able to retaliate against the Bow Flier thanks to his Ancient Ragnell!

Priam's unique weapon Ancient Ragnell allows him to counterattack at any range, similar to the other variants of Ragnell.

In addition to this, it also grants Priam a Def+3 stat increase and a conditional Atk/Def-6 debuff to his foes.

The condition is quite easy to meet thanks to his native Rouse Spd/Def 4, meaning the weapon will almost always be active!

Atk/Def Ideal 4 improves both offense and defense

Priam comes with Atk/Def Ideal 4 which grants a conditional boost to his Atk and Def depending on whether he is at full health and/or has a bonus applied to him.

Again, this condition is almost always partially met due to Rouse Spd/Def 4 granting a bonus at the start of each turn.

Priam's native Sol also helps regain health, which helps keep him healthy and possibly even at full HP constantly, further amplifying the Ideal skill's effects!

Rouse Spd/Def 4 boosts key stats and nearly guarantees effects of the rest of his kit are active

As mentioned twice above, Priam comes with Rouse Spd/Def 4.

This skill grants Spd/Def+6 at the start of each turn as long as Priam is not adjacent to an ally.

It also applies a 【Null Panic】effect to Priam, ensuring that these bonuses cannot be reversed and retaining the effectiveness of his Ancient Ragnell and Atk/Def Ideal 4!

Priam Weaknesses

Subpar Res

Priam's Res stat is his main weakness; even with his Distant Counter effect, mages should have no trouble dealing with Priam.

Keep him away from mages unless you are positive he'll survive and kill in retaliation.

Alternatively, you can patch up his Res with Sacred Seals like Spd/Res Solo 3.
