Atk (8)		★★★★☆

Def (5)		★★☆☆☆
Res (8)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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

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

His Def is already low and won't make a difference in his matchups, since he is more of a Res tank.

You can also opt for +Atk for more firepower.

+Spd for a +10 merge.

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

Colm Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Colm Roles

Colm - Capable Thief Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Colm is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Colm Strengths

Quick Dagger+ Accelerates His Special

Colm's weapon gives him Special cooldown count-2 at the start of turn 1, meaning that he's able to have his Special ready from the very beginning, provided he has a 2 cooldown Special like the Moonbow he comes with or Ruptured Sky.

This means he can deal huge amounts of damage from the get-go and potential one-shot an enemy unit the moment he attacks.

Colm Weaknesses

No Close Counter

Melee units should have no problem dealing with Colm as he has no Close Counter in his kit that he can use to retaliate if they attack him.

Make sure to keep Colm away from melee units so he stays safe!

Colm as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★☆

All of Colm's skills are inheritable, but the most valuable would be Quick Dagger+ due to immediately granting a unit their Special at the start of the map.
