Brave Byleth (F) Skills at 5★

Inner Wellspring Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At the start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to unit for one turn, and also, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value grants Special cooldown count-1. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat and if Special triggers before or during combat grants Special cooldown count-1 after combat.

Divine Pulse Cooldown Count = 2 Boost Dmg by 25% of unit's Spd. Reduces damage from foe's next attack by 75%, and unit's next attack deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd. (Resets at the end of combat.)

Atk/Spd Catch 4 At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% or if【Penalty】is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% and【Penalty】is active on foe, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat. 【Penalty】 All effects that last "on foe through its next action."

Brave Byleth (F) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (11)		★★★★☆
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★★☆☆☆
Res (7)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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 Brave Byleth (F) are +Spd and -Res. With a 【Null Follow-Up】 effect tied to her weapon, boosting her Spd improves her chances of doubling her enemy and preventing them from doubling Byleth herself.

+Atk is also a viable option when opting for a Vantage strategy with Spd Preempt 3, as boosting her Atk with a superboon will create more one-hit KO opportunities.

Both her Def and her Res are viable banes to take due to how less important they are for Byleth to fulfill her role. We opted for -Res simply because Def is a superbane, and Res is not.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommand a +Spd IV when merging Brave Byleth (F) to +10 for similar reasons above. +Atk is also a great option when using a Vantage strategy.

Effect of Brave Byleth (F)'s Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Inner Wellspring	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to unit for 1 turn, and also, if unit's Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 20% of unit's Spd during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if Special triggers before or during combat, grants Special cooldown count-1 after combat. Enables 【Canto (1)】. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 5 + 10% of unit's Spd at start of combat, unit deals +7 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and also, when unit's Special triggers, neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Inner Wellspring

Refined Inner Wellspring improves the stat bonuses in-combat to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 and grants Brave Byleth (F) 【Canto (1)】, true damage reduction on her foe's first attack equal to 20% of her Spd, bonus +7 true damage per attack, a Tempo effect, and 100% damage reduction piercing on Byleth's Special triggers.

This refine makes Brave Byleth (F) a powerful nuke unit capable of deleting foes in one round of combat.

Brave Byleth (F) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Byleth (F) Roles

Byleth - Sublime Light 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

Brave Byleth (F) 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.

Brave Byleth (F) Strengths

Inner Wellspring accelerates Specials both before and after combat

Brave Byleth (F)'s Inner Wellspring accelerates her Special cooldown and grants a 【Null Follow-Up】 effect and a Time's Pulse effect at the start of turn.

It also grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and reduces her Special cooldown count by 1 after combat, similar to Special Spiral.

When refined, Inner Wellspring improves the stat bonuses in-combat to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 and grants Brave Byleth (F) 【Canto (1)】, true damage reduction on her foe's first attack equal to 20% of her Spd, bonus +7 true damage per attack, a Tempo effect, and 100% damage reduction piercing on Byleth's Special triggers.

This refine makes Brave Byleth (F) a powerful nuke unit capable of deleting foes in one round of combat.

Divine Pulse is a quick Special that boosts damage and grants damage reduction

Brave Byleth (F) comes with an exclusive Special in Divine Pulse. It is a 2 charge Special (reduced to 1 charge due to Inner Wellspring).

Divine Pulse boosts Brave Byleth (F)'s damage by 25% of her Spd, reduces damage from her foe's next attack by 75%, and boosts her next attack by 20% of her Spd.

There is a special interaction between Divine Pulse and Deadeye. Divine Pulse's 75% damage reduction is not neutralized by Deadeye, since Divine Pulse is a Special skill.

For example: A Valentine's Chrom dealing 80 damage normally to Brave Byleth would result in the following:

• 80 x 0.25 (75% damage reduction from Divine Pulse) = 20
• 20 x 2 (double damage from Deadeye) = 40
• 40 damage dealt

Brave Byleth (F) Weaknesses

Subpar Bulk

Brave Byleth (F)'s overall bulk is below average, at 39 HP, 26 Def, and 24 Res. She is completely reliant on the damage reduction of Divine Pulse to survive enemy attacks.

If she gets attacked first before she can trigger Divine Pulse, she is very likely to get knocked out.

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Brave Byleth (F) 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.

Brave Byleth (F) as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Brave Byleth (F) comes with Atk/Spd Catch 4, Spd Preempt 3, and Spd/Res Hold as amazing inheritance options.

It is possible to inherit Spd/Res Hold and Spd Preempt 3 at the same time by inheriting Spd/Res Rein 3 from a different hero first.

Spd Preempt is only found on Brave Byleth (F) as of August 17, 2022. It is worth noting that flying mage units have very few good options for their B slot, and this is one of the good ones available.
