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, Spring Luthier will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk/-HP

Spring Luthier's best IVs are +Atk/-HP. Atk is a superboon and leads to the best combat potential for Luthier.

His other stats are all average, thus taking HP as a bane is the best option because it can be patched up easily through Legendary and Mythic blessing bonuses.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Spring Luthier to +10. All of his stats are average, thus Atk is the boon of choice due to its importance and superboon status.

Spring Luthier Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Spring Luthier Roles

Luthier - Spring Hopes 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

Spring Luthier is a melee 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.

Spring Luthier Strengths

Carrot-Tip Spear+ deals bonus damage based on penalties

Spring Luthier comes with a new inheritable lance in Carrot-Tip Spear+.

It grants Atk/Def+5 to Spring Luthier and deals bonus damage equal to the total penalties on his foe's Atk and Def.

These penalties can be applied by skills such as Atk/Def Snag 3, which Luthier also has on his kit!

Spring Luthier Weaknesses

Average stats

Spring Luthier suffers from having average stats without any one stat standing out.

This makes him a generalized unit and not a specialized one, which harms his combat potential when fielded against specialized units.

Competition and lack of uniqueness

Spring Luthier suffers from the lack of unique options exclusive to him, and as a result, is comparable and even replaceable by other lance cavalry units.

Lance cavalry is a saturated unit type with a lot of viable options. There are other more powerful options for this unit type; notably Brave Eirika who was potentially obtained for free with Choose Your Legends 5.

Spring Luther will have to rely on differences in base stats and availability to stand out among his peers.

Spring Luthier as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★☆☆

Spring Luthier provides Carrot-Tip Spear+, Atk/Def Bond 3, and Atk/Def Snag 3 as inheritance options.

Carrot-Tip Spear+ is a good weapon, but isn't essential as there are other viable lance options available elsewhere.

Atk/Def Snag 3 isn't common in usage, and Atk/Def Bond 3 at 5-star rarity is not good for inheritance.
