Thief Sothe Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (9) Attack Boon ★★★★☆
Spd (11) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (6) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (6) No Res IV ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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/-Res

The best IVs for Thief Sothe are +Spd and -Res. His Spd is a superboon and boosts his already very high Spd stat even further to guarantee he outspeeds his foes.

His Res is a dump stat and is a safe bane to take without altering any of his matchups.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

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

+Atk can also be used to boost his damage further if Spd isn't a concern.

Thief Sothe is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Thief Sothe Strengths

Florid Knife+ is a good inheritable dagger

Thief Sothe Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Thief Sothe carries Florid Knife+, an inheritable dagger which grants Atk/Spd+5 and has 【Canto (1)】.

Having Canto on an inheritable weapon opens up a lot of options for other units as well. Thief Sothe makes great use of it with his offensive stat spread as well.

Thief Sothe Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Thief Sothe takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
