What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Weapon skill inflicts debuffs on enemy units that get stronger based on already existing penalties on them. |
Might: 12 Range: 2 If unit is not adjacent to an ally, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Res during combat = 5 + any current penalty on each of those stats. Calculates each stat penalty independently. |
Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts damage dealt by 80% of unit’s Res. |
At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100%, grants Atk/Res+5, but if unit attacked, deals 1 damage to unit after combat. |
At start of turn, if any foe’s Res ≤ unit’s Res-3 and that foe is adjacent to another foe, inflicts Atk-7 on that foe through its next action. |
Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (17) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Atk (10) | ★★★★☆ | |
Spd (10) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Def (3) | ★★☆☆☆ | |
Res (10) | ★★★★★ |
◯ = 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.
As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Salem will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.
Salem's best IVs are +Atk and -Def. His Spd is in the middling range where increasing it by 3 may not be enough to fight against the fastest units in the metagame, thus we take an Atk boon to improve his offense as much as possible.
His Def is a dump stat and reducing it will not affect any of his hard matchups. Taking it as a bane is a safe choice.
We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Salem up to +10 for similar reasons above. His Spd is just not high enough to compete with the fastest units.

This is a budget build for Salem using him as a magical semi-tank. Mystic Boost recovers HP to negate the recoil from Atk/Res Push 3 and disables adaptive damage, allowing Salem to take hits from dragon units better.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Salem is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he/she deals will be equivalent to his/her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.
Salem has Rauðrvulture+ in his kit which is a great inheritable red tome.
This tome has the Plegian effect which penalizes his foe's Atk/Res by 5 plus any current penalty on each of those stats. Enemies stacked with penalties will take a lot of damage from one attack using this tome!
Red tomes haven't had much, and this tome is a great addition allowing offensive red tome units to have another weapon that fits their strengths.
Salem has a base Def stat of 18, which leaves him highly vulnerable to getting defeated in one hit by strong physical attackers.
Keep him away from physical damage weapons at all costs!
Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? |
---|
We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Salem - Dark Sage from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Salem - Dark Sage is a very useful fast red tome infantry, so we recommend you Unlock Potential for Salem - Dark Sage if your team lacks a strong fast red tome infantry.
