At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, and also, if unit initiates combat, grants an effect to unit based on the value of unit's Spd minus foe's Spd: If ≤ 9, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack; if ≥ 10, unit attacks twice.

Winter Lysithea Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (16)		★★★☆☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★☆☆☆☆
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/-Def

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

Her Def is the advised dump stat as she is a purely offensive unit.

You can also opy for a +Atk IV to raise her firepower even more for potential one-shots.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Winter Lysithea 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.

You can also take a +Atk IV if you prefer, for the same reason stated above.

Winter Lysithea Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Lysithea Roles

Lysithea - Gifted Students 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

Winter Lysithea 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.

Access to a Harmonized Skill!

Winter Lysithea is one of the Harmonized heroes. They have access to a unique Harmonized Skill which is very similar to Duo Skills. You can activate Harmonized Skills by pressing the the Harmonized Skill button. Because this Harmonized unit features both Lysithea and Lute, they can qualify for bonus scores in all of the games where these two show up!

Resonance Effect

Winter Lysithea Strengths

Sweet Yule Log is a Powerful Tome

The prodigies share their holiday sporit with the Green Bow enemy!

Sweet Yule Log is a powerful tome, assuming Winter Lysithea meets the conditions to activate it in combat.

It grants Winter Lysithea an accelerated Special trigger (cooldown count-1) no matter what, and provides additional effects if Winter Lysithea initiates combat or if she is meets the HP threshold.

Below is a summary of its effects:

Canto Grants Mobility After Combat

Winter Lysithea has the 【Canto (Rem.)】effect from her B skill, A/R Far Trace 3.

【Canto (Rem.)】allows Winter Lysithea to move again after performing an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction.

The amount of additional movement spaces is equal to the number of movement spaces she has not used yet from her previous action.

This will allow her to reposition herself to safety after attacking, or if she's low health, will allow her to move closer to the enemy team and allies with Wings of Mercy 3 can swoop in to her side for surprise attacks.

C Feud 3 can heavily skew combat against certain team compositions

Winter Lysithea comes with C Feud 3 which is a new color-conditional skill introduced into the game.

It disables skills of all colorless foes (excluding the foe) during combat at all times.

Against a colorless foe, it instead disables the skills of all other foes during combat and inflicts an Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 penalty on the colorless foe during combat!

Summoners should try to have Winter Lysithea enter combat against colorless foes, which she heavily neuters thanks to C Feud!

Winter Lysithea Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry-effective weapons

Winter Lysithea takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Heroes with Effective Skills

C Feud 3 is color-conditional

As mentioned above, C Feud 3 is a color-conditional skill that only triggers against colorless foes.

If there are no colorless foes alive, the skill does absolutely nothing and becomes an empty passive skill slot.

Ensure that you only use this skill against team compositions with at least one colorless foe, and ideally against multiple colorless foes.

Winter Lysithea as a Source Hero

Winter Lysithea comes with Swift Sparrow 3, A/R Far Trace 3, and C Feud 3 as inheritable skills worth mentioning.

A/R Far Trace 3 is the best skill out of this group, as Canto is a powerful mechanic that can be used both offensively and defensively in all game modes.

Switft Sparrow 3 is available from other heroes or even combat manuals, and C Feud 3 is a niche color-conditional skill.
