New Year Kyza Best IVs

Recommended IVs

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

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, New Year Kyza will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Def/-Spd

New Year Kyza functions well as a physical tank, and his Def is high and is a superboon as well. This makes his role easy to fulfill.

His Spd is neither high enough to really fight the speediest units in the game, nor is it low enough to change his matchups.

Thus, we recommend +Def/Spd.

+Def for a +10 merge.

We recommend +Def for a +10 merged Kyza. +Atk also works if you prefer to have more damage.

New Year Kyza 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.

New Year Kyza Strengths

Polished Fang suits Kyza's defensive playstyle!

Kyza Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

New Year Kyza polishes his fangs on the enemy Osian!

New Year Kyza comes with his own unique Red Beast weapon in Polished Fang.

It increases his Def+3 and Atk/Def+6 if his foe's HP ≥ 75%.

Additionally, if Kyza's Def > foe's Def, it accelerates Special charge and deals +5 damage per Kyza's attack!

Finally, these effects work whether Kyza is transformed or not. When Kyza is transformed, he gains an additional Atk+2, deals an additional +7 damage when his Special triggers, and has Null Guard and Null Special acceleration to his foe!

High Def and Good Skillset to Complement

New Year Kyza has high base Def at 41, 45 with a superboon, and Close Def 3 plus Atk/Def Oath 3 to add on to his bulk.

This makes fulfilling his role as a tank easier!

New Year Kyza Weaknesses

Atk/Def Oath and Beast properties require being adjacent to beasts and dragons.

In order to fulfill both the conditions of Atk/Def Oath 3 and Beast transformation, New Year Kyza is required to be adjacent to either a beast or a dragon.

Otherwise, he cannot activate one of his conditions, and his potential is worsened!

Replacing his Atk/Def Oath 3 skill with another alternative should fix this problem.

Kyza uses they/them pronouns, not he/him, in all English language games including FEH. Article needs a fix.
