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.

+Def / -Spd

The best IVs for Askr are +Def and -Spd. His Def is a superboon and is the most important stat, being the key stat required for his true damage and true damage reduction.

His Spd is below average and isn't as important, especially with his guaranteed follow-up attack. Thus, it is the bane of choice.

+Def for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Def when merging Askr up to +10 for similar reasons above. His Def is his most important stat.

How to Use, Explanation

This build is similar to Ash's Galeforce build in the sense that Askr can trigger Galeforce immediately with his reduced cooldown and guaranteed follow-up attack. Allies with Galeforce are preferred especially with the reduced cooldown granted by Opened Domain.

Askr Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Askr Roles

Askr - God of Openness 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

Askr 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.

Askr Strengths

Illuminating Horn is loaded with different effects

Askr is ready to dish out some bovine brutality with his Illuminating Horn. It has multiple effects that drastically swing combat in his favor.

Below is a summary of its effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Askr initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Askr during combat.
Askr initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Askr makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.
Askr initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Askr's attacks deal bonus true damage equal to 20% of his Def.
Askr initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Reduces damage done to Askr by foe's attacks equal to 20% of Askr's Def.
Askr is transformed	Grants Atk+2.
Askr is transformed	Askr deals a bonus +7 damage when his Special triggers.
Askr is transformed	Neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to Askr's foe.
Askr is transformed	Neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" to Askr.

It is worth noting that the bonus damage and damage reduction granted by Illuminating Horn are true damage and true damage reduction respectively.

For example, if Askr has 60 Def during combat, his attacks deal a bonus 12 true damage, and his foe's attacks deal 12 less damage. These are not affected by foe's damage reduction effects, meaning he deals at least 12 damage no matter what!

Atk/Def Bulwark 3 protects his allies from harm

Askr debuts a new inheritable line of skills with his Atk/Def Bulwark 3. This skill is very similar to Gatekeeper's Detailed Report. It trades the anti-warp function for Atk/Def-4 and post-combat healing.

This skill is perfect for frontline units like Askr, ensuring that the foes do not pass through.

Opened Domain grants bonus stats and Special acceleration

Askr's exclusive C skill Opened Domain is an incredible supportive skill.

It grants Special cooldown count -1,【Resonance: Blades】 and 【Resonance: Shields】 to himself and his nearby allies at the start of each turn as long as he has at least one ally that is from a different game title (not a Fire Emblem Heroes Original Character) within 2 spaces of him.

Resonance: Blades is a status effect that grants Atk/Spd+4 during combat to the affected unit, while Resonance: Shields grants Def/Res+4 during combat to the affected unit and prevents their foe from making a follow-up attack during the unit's first combat.

These bonuses are status effects and not just in-combat bonuses; thus, they activate his own Atk/Def Ideal 4 skill.

Also, the Special cooldown reduction is only granted if their Special cooldown counts are at their maximum value. This always applies at the start of turn one, and is perfect for teams centered around Galeforce!

Askr Weaknesses

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

Askr takes 1.5x damage from beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
