New Year Lyre Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (9) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (12) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (5) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (6) 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/-HP

New Year Lyre wants to boost her Atk and Spd as much as possible to eliminate enemies quickly.

Since Spd is a superboon, we recommend +Spd as her boon of choice.

Her other stats are balanced enough, so we recommend -HP as a bane because it is the easiestto patch up through Legendary and Mythic blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd as Lyre's boon of choice. for a +10 merge, for similar reasons above.
