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

The best IVs for Summer Lyon are +Atk and -Spd. A high base Atk stat of 42 backed by a superboon and a guaranteed follow-up attack granted by his weapon is exactly the edge Summer Lyon needs to knock out his enemies.

His Spd is very low and almost always irrelevant due to his ability to create guaranteed follow-up attacks. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Summer Lyon to +10 for similar reasons above.

Summer Lyon Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Lyon Roles

Lyon - Sunlit Prince 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 Lyon is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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 Def stat.

Summer Lyon Strengths

Coral Saber+ is a good inheritable weapon

Summer Lyon's Coral Saber+ grants Atk/Def+5 to its wielder during combat and allows him/her to make a guaranteed follow-up attack.

This inheritable sword is perfect for slow units that cannot make a follow-up attack on their own.

Summer Lyon Weaknesses

Lack of unique skills

Summer Lyon, like most other units released at 4 star rarity, lacks any unique skills to call his own.

This makes him replaceable since his skills can be inherited to other units.

With so many sword infantry units in the game, the lack of unique skills makes Summer Lyon fail to stand out among the others.
