Atk (12)		★★★★★

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 / -Def

The best IVs for Summer Micaiah are +Atk and -Def. Her Atk is a superboon and boosting it leads to the most kills, especially with her dual effectiveness tome with a potential brave attack.

Her Def is a dump stat and boosting it will not change her matchups. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Summer Micaiah to +10. Her Atk is her best stat and should be boosted as much as possible.

： Moonlight Drop ： Maiden's Solace ： Moonbow ： -	： Atk/Res Catch 4 ： Prescience ： Rouse Atk/Res 4 ： Atk/Res Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build focuses on boosting Atk/Res to improve Summer Micaiah's niche. Menace skills are clunky on ranged cavs, thus we chose Rouse to reliably increase her Atk/Res. Prescience can be replaced by Lull Atk/Res 3 or A/R Far Trace 3 if you prefer those skills.

Summer Micaiah Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Micaiah Roles

Micaiah - Wavecrest Maiden 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

Summer Micaiah is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Summer Micaiah Strengths

Moonlight Drop is a powerful tome that grants multiple bonuses and can attack twice

Summer Micaiah's Moonlight Drop is effective against armored and cavalry foes similar to other versions of Micaiah.

It also grants an accelerated Special trigger, Atk/Res+6 during combat, and a variable Spd check.

If the value of Summer Micaiah's Res minue her foe's Res is ≥ 5 and ≤ 14, Summer Micaiah makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.

If said value is ≥ 15 and Summer Micaiah initiates combat, she attacks twice.

Attacking twice consecutively allows her to combat Hardy Fighter 3 by activating it on the first attack, and then attacking again with armor effectiveness and potentially a Special skill triggered too!

Maiden's Solace combines heals and penalty neutralization

Similar to Legendary Micaiah, Summer Micaiah carries Maiden's Solace as an exclusive assist skill.

This assist skill converts the target's penalties into bonuses, and then cleanses off all remaining penalties on that unit. In addition, Summer Micaiah transfers her HP to the target until the target is fully healed, and then she loses that amount of HP.

This skill ensures that its target is ready for combat, making Summer Micaiah a valuable support unit as well!

Prescience provides valuable damage reduction

Also similar to Legendary Micaiah, Summer Micaiah carries Prescience as an exclusive B skill.

This skill inflicts Atk/Res-5 on the foe. This is already very helpful as it provides her with more firepower and some bulk. More importantly, Prescience reduces the damage from the foe's first attack by 30% when:

• Micaiah initiates combat, OR
• The foe is a ranged unit (works in both phases!)

Summer Micaiah Weaknesses

Lack of Canto

Summer Micaiah's base kit lacks a Canto effect to grant her some post-combat mobility.

While you can remedy this by inheriting a Far Trace skill onto her, this would remove Prescience from her equipped skills.

Carefully weigh the benefits of both skills before deciding on which skill to use!

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Micaiah takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
