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 best IVs for Kamui are +Spd and -Res. His Spd is a superboon and allows him to compete with the fastest units in the metagame.

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

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Kamui to +10 for similar reasons above.

Kamui Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Kamui Roles

Kamui - Wandering 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

Kamui 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.

Kamui Strengths

Up-Front Blade+ is a good inheritable weapon

Kamui's inheritable Up-Front Blade+ grants Atk/Spd+5 to its wielder and neutralizes penalties to Atk and Spd.

It's a good weapon to give to speedy offensive units reliant on bonuses.

Kamui Weaknesses

Lack of unique skills

As with every unit that lacks unique skills, Kamui's usefulness is overshadowed by premium units with exclusive skills who can perform his role, but better.

Additionally, with the saturated pool of sword infantry units, Kamui simply does not stand out among the bunch.
