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

We recommend a +Spd/-Def IV on Neimi. She already has a superboon in Spd and increasing it further will make doubling enemies easier.

Her Def is already low and won't make a difference in her matchups, since she is more likely to tank magic.

You can also opt for +Atk for more firepower.

+Spd for a +10 merge.

We recommend +Spd for a +10 merged Neimi. +Atk also works if you prefer her to hit harder.
