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.

+Atk / -Spd

Bridal Sophia's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. Her Atk is quite high and boosting it improves her performance as a big nuker with one-hit KO potential.

Her Spd is a clear dump stat and lowering it further will not change the result of her matchups, thus it is safe to take as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Bridal Sophia up to +10 for similar reasons above. Atk is her most important stat and should be boosted as much as possible.

Bridal Sophia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bridal Sophia Roles

Sophia - Prescient Bride 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

Bridal Sophia 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.

Bridal Sophia Strengths

Dragon Bouquet is an improved version of Rauðrraven+

Bridal Sophia's Dragon Bouquet is an improved version of the inheritable Rauðrraven+.

In addition to the weapon triangle advantage it grants versus colorless foes, it also grants Atk+3, Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and a guaranteed follow-up attack.

One downside, however, is that most of these effects require Bridal Sophia to have HP ≥ 25%. This condition is very easy to meet and shouldn't be a problem most of the time.

Above average bulk

Bridal Sophia has very good Def and Res stats for a mage unit at base 36 and 34 respectively. These help her survive attacks from enemy units, especially when her low Spd leads to her getting doubled often.

Bridal Sophia Weaknesses

Heavy reliance on meeting Dragon Bouquet's HP threshold

Dragon Bouquet's effects are only active when Bridal Sophia's HP ≥ 25%. If she falls below that, her powerful tome becomes a Bolganone+ with extra Atk.

While the HP condition is very easy to meet, it can be easy to forget at times, especially when relying on Bridal Sophia as a magic tank.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Bridal Sophia takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
