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/-Res

The best IVs for Hatari Karla are +Spd and -Res. She has a Superboon in this stat, and will allow her to make consistent follow-up attacks.

This boosts both her offensive and survivability capabilities. Her low Res is of less importance, so it is safe to take it as a bane.

You can also opt for a +Atk IV becauseit's also her Superboon, which allows her to hit harder.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Hatari Karla to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV at 10 merges, she reaches a Spd of 47.

Coupled with her weapon's effect, she will be a heavy-hitting offensive unit.

Hatari Karla Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Hatari Karla Roles

Karla - Sun-Piercing Steel 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

Hatari Karla is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Hatari Karla Strengths

Dryblade Lance Enables Her to Trigger her Special Every Combat

Hatari Karla's weapon buffs shown her, coupled with her Special triggering, make her a threat to almost anyone she meets.

Hatari Karla's weapon has the following effects:

1	Accelerates her Special trigger.
2	Grants Karla Special cooldown count-2 at the start of Turn 1.
3	Grants her Atk/Spd+6 at the start of combat and if her HP ≥ 25%.
4	Deals extra damage = X% of Karla's Spd when her Special triggers.

The extra damage of her weapon is calculated based on her Special cooldown's max count x 10, +20.

This means that if she's using Draconic Aura, she will be dealing extra damage equal to 50% of her Spd.

This weapon, coupled with her Special Spiral 3, will enable Karla to potentially trigger her Special every combat.

Can Reach Far with Odd Tempest 3

Odd Tempest 3 will allow Hatari Karla to move an extra space on odd-numbered turns, which means she has cavalry movement at the start of Turn 1.

Use this to your advantage and take out enemy units quickly!

Hatari Karla Weaknesses

Can Be Kited By Ranged Units

Hatari Karla, being a melee unit, does not come with Distant Counter in her kit.

This means that she can be kited by any ranged units, and is especially vulnerable to Tome units using Lancebreaker 3.

Low Res Makes Her Vulnerable to Magic

Hatari Karla has pretty high Def, which protects her well against physical damage units.

However, the same cannot be said for her Res. She will be taking more damage from green tome units and is also vulnerable to any dragon's adaptive damage.

Make sure she doesn't engage with any mages!
