Legendary Byleth (F) Skills at 5★

Professorial Guide Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. Allies within 2 spaces gain: "Neutralizes effects that grant 'Special cooldown charge +X' to foe or inflict 'Special cooldown charge -X' on unit during combat."

Ruptured Sky Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts damage by 20% of foe's Atk. If in combat against a dragon foe or beast foe, boosts damage by 40% instead of 20%.

Atk/Spd Finish 4 If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Special is ready or unit's Special triggered before or during this combat, deals +5 damage during combat (except when dealing damage with area-of-effect Specials) and when unit deals damage during combat, restores 7 HP to unit. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

Lull Spd/Res 3 Inflicts Spd/Res -3 on foe and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Res (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Goddess Bearer II At start of turn, if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd+7, 【Null Follow-Up】, and "unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces" to unit for 1 turn. If there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat, and also, if foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed foe's maximum Special cooldown). 【Null Follow-Up】 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks for 1 turn.

Legendary Byleth (F) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★★☆☆☆
Res (9)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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/-Def

The best IVs for Legendary Byleth (F) are +Spd and -Def. Her entire kit is reliant on boosting her Spd as much as possble, thus the decision to take it as a boon.

Byleth's Def is very low, and she shouldn't be taking attacks from physical units in the first place so this is the best bane she can take.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Legendary Byleth (F) to +10. This is for the same reasons as above.

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Professorial Guide	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% (for standard attacks, "first attack" means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. For allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on ally during their combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 2, + 5 (max 11) and deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when unit's Special triggers, neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Professorial Guide

Refined Professorial Guide grants Byleth a Tempo effect, up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+16 during combat, 30% damage reduction on her foe's first attack, true damage equal to 20% of Byleth's Spd, and 100% damage reduction piercing on her Special triggers.

Refined Professorial Guide also grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and a Tempo effect onto all allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Byleth, providing extra support to Byleth's allies on top of all the offensive effects above.

This refine provides both support and offensive effects, allowing Byleth and her team to swing combat in their favor.

As a legendary hero, the Summoner receives a Wind Blessing by default when Legendary Byleth (F) is summoned. Being a wind-type Legendary Hero means that during Wind Season, Wind-blessed heroes will gain HP+3, and Legendary Byleth (F)'s effect will make her base stats be treated as 185. This effect makes it easy to raise your arena score when playing her on your team.

Legendary Byleth (F) Strengths

Refined Professorial Guide is a Powerful Tome

Byleth repeatedly attacks the Red Fafnir!

Professorial Guide is a powerful tome, assuming Legendary Byleth (F) meets the conditions to activate it in combat.

When refined, Professorial Guide grants Byleth a Tempo effect, up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+16 during combat, 30% damage reduction on her foe's first attack, true damage equal to 20% of Byleth's Spd, and 100% damage reduction piercing on her Special triggers.

Refined Professorial Guide also grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and a Tempo effect onto all allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Byleth, providing extra support to Byleth's allies on top of all the offensive effects above.

Goddess Bearer II Boosts Atk/Spd and grants Null Follow-Up and Warp statuses

Legendary Byleth (F)'s remix skill Goddess Bearer II grants Atk/Spd+7, a Null Follow-Up effect, and the Orders warping effect to Byleth at the start of each turn

In combat, Goddess Bearer II grants Byleth Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4, Special cooldown count -1 before her first attack, and a Scowl effect if her foe is using an offensive Special.

This remix skill provides mobility, offensive power, and defensive effects, making it a worthwhile skill to equip above other options.

Legendary Byleth (F) Weaknesses

Dependence on Spd Checks and other Conditions

Legendary Byleth (F)'s unique skills require her to either initiate combat or be near her allies. These may restrict your movement and action plans for future turns if you want to keep these skills active.

Additionally, Byleth needs to win a Spd check to activate the Null Follow-Up effect of Goddess Bearer II. With common meta units having high speed, Byleth needs to be invested well enough to ensure she wins the Spd check every time.
