Arthur Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (12) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (11) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (6) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (3) No Res IV ★☆☆☆☆

◯ = 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 / -Res

The recommended IVs for Arthur are +Spd and -Res. He has a very high Spd stat and a superboon, it would be wise to invest in that to reliably double his foes. He already gains Atk from his Gronnvulture+, additional investment can potentially be wasteful.

His Res is a dump stat and is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Arthur to +10. His Spd superboon allows him to keep up with the fastest units in the metagame, and his Atk is already boosted by Gronnvulture+.

Arthur is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.

Arthur Strengths

Gronnvulture+ inflicts powerful debuffs

Gronnvulture+ Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Arthur's weapon Gronnvulture+ is a functional copy of Plegian Torch+.

It inflicts debuffs on an enemy unit that get stronger the more penalties they already have.

While it's not a Prf tome, its still very useful and synergizes well with Menace skills like Arthur's own Spd/Res Menace.

Base kit has great synergy

In addition to Gronnvulture+, Arthur comes with Atk/Spd Ideal 4 and Spd/Res Menace.

His Menace skill is key in maximizing his prowess in combat. The buffs activate Atk/Spd Ideal, and the debuffs get amplified by Gronnvulture+.

Ensure Spd/Res Menace is triggered at the start of each turn!

Arthur Weaknesses

No Prf weapon

Arthur lacks a unique weapon to make him truly stand out, especially with the large amount of strong green mages in the game.

As is, most heroes can copy his build and fulfill the same role on the team.

Reliance on buffs and debuffs

Arthur relies heavily on buffs and debuffs to maximize his effectiveness in combat. Without them, Gronnvulture+ is simply a basic tome and Atk/Spd Ideal 4 is either reduced in power, or shut off completely.

Arthur as a Source Hero

Arthur Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★★★

Arthur carries Gronnvulture+, Atk/Spd Ideal 4 and Spd/Res Menace as great inheritable options.

All of these skills have their own merits and are rare enough to warrant sacrificing Arthur for your other units' benefit.
