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.
