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

Guy's best IVs are +Spd and -Res. His Spd is among the fastest in the entire game at base 43 and boosting it ensures that Guy will rarely be outsped.

+Atk is also an option if opting for extra damage instead. With Sain's average 37 Atk, additional Atk may be necessary to achieve kills.

Guy's Res is at below average base 25 and investing in it won't change most of his matchups. Thus, it is the safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Guy up to +10. His Spd needs the boon in order to maintain his edge as one of the fastest units in FEH.

Guy Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Guy Roles

Guy - Kutolah Blade 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

Guy is a close 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.

Guy Strengths

Vulture Blade+ can amplify penalties

Guy's Vulture Blade+ is the melee and physical version of the powerful vulture tomes like Gronnvulture+.

These weapons grant the Plegian effect which amplifies debuffs already placed onto its wielders foes.

With enough support, this sword can slice through its enemies with ease!

Very high HP and Spd

Guy's Spd is sitting at base 43, which is among the highest Spd stats in the entire game.

With enough investment, he will be outspeeding almost any foe.

Guy's HP is also quite high at base 44. This can be utlized by running skills that check Guy's HP like Panic Ploy 3 and Infantry Pulse 3.

Guy Weaknesses

Lack of unique skills

Without a unique weapon or skill, Guy does not stand out among his peers. He is replaceable by any other sword infantry with a similar stat spread.

While Vulture Blade+ is a powerful weapon, any other sword unit can inherit it, leaving Guy's strengths as those that can also be given onto other units.
