Ascended Celica Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, deals damage = 10% of foe's Atk, and also, if unit's HP ≥ 25% and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP. (Once per combat. Does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce HP to 0.)

Cooldown Count = 2
Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 30% during combat.

Grants Atk/Spd+7.
Inflicts Def/Res-5.

Neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks or prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If unit's HP ≤ 75% and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.

At start of turn, grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to infantry allies within 2 spaces of unit.

Ascended Celica Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) Attack Bane ★★★★★
Spd (12) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (4) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (6) Res Boon ★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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 / -Def

The best IVs for Ascended Celica are +Spd and -Def. Her Spd is a superboon and boosts her already amazing Spd into higher territories. Having Null Follow-Up in her kit through Soul of Zofia encourages Spd stacking as well.

Her Def is a dump stat and no amount of investment will save her from physical attacks. Thus, it is the bane of choice.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ascended Celica to +10 for similar reasons above. Her Spd is her most important stat.

+Atk as an Ascended trait

As an Ascended hero, Ascended Celica can ascend one of her traits for free. We recommend +Atk or +Spd, whichever one you do not have.

Ascended Celica 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.

Ascended Celica Strengths

Mila's Testament has built-in Miracle and true damage

Ascended Celica Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Ascended Celica's unique weapon Mila's Testament grants an accelerated Special, Atk/Spd+6 during combat, true damage equal to 10% of her foe's Atk, and a Miracle effect if Ascended Celica's HP ≥ 25%.

This Miracle effect checks her HP when she is attacked and not at the start of combat. Thus, if Ascended Celica is taking multiple hits, the first attack needs to leave her above the 25% threshold for this effect to trigger.

Soul of Zofia grants Null Follow-Up and Desperation

Similar to her Legendary counterpart, Ascended Celica also comes with Soul of Zofia.

This skill allows her to attack consecutively as long as she can perform a follow-up attack, potentially saving her from death by killing her foes before she even takes a hit. This effect works well with the Miracle effect of Mila's Testament, ensuring that she survives the first attack and putting her in range of Soul of Zofia.

Inf. Null Follow is a unique supportive effect

Ascended Celica debuts a new C skill called Inf. Null Follow 3. It provides the 【Null Follow-Up】 effect to infantry allies within 2 spaces.

This skill frees up the B slots of allied infantry heroes, allowing them to run other skills such as Spurn 3 while retaining the Null Follow-Up effect. With proper teambuilding, taking advantage of this skill is easy and definitely worth the effort!

Ascended Celica Weaknesses

Mila's Testament's Miracle effect is reliant on meeting the HP threshold

The HP condition of Mila's Testament is checked upon receiving an attack, and not at the start of combat.

Foes with high Atk and brave effects such as Summer Edelgard or Ninja Corrin (F) can easily bypass this check by bringing Ascended Celica under the HP threshold with the first attack, and then defeating her with the second.
