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 Flame Tribe Rinkah are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and aids Flame Tribe Rinkah the most when it comes to her common matchups.

Her Res is below average and is a safe bane to take, especially when aiming to use Flame Tribe Rinkah as a physical wall.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Flame Tribe Rinkah to +10. She is at a high Spd tier and requires investment in order to keep up with the faster units in the metagame.

Flame Tribe Rinkah Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Flame Tribe Rinkah Roles

Rinkah - Consuming Flame 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

Flame Tribe Rinkah is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Flame Tribe Rinkah Strengths

Flame Gunbai+ is a good inheritable weapon

Flame Tribe Rinkah comes with a new inheritable sword in Flame Gunbai+. It grants Atk/Def+5 to its' wielder during combat and applies a Def penalty to their foe = 20% of its' wielder's Def.

This sword is perfect for units with high Def, to maximize the penalty applied.

Flame Tribe Rinkah Weaknesses

Lack of unique skills

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

Additionally, with the saturated pool of sword infantry units, especially those available via Heroic Grails, Flame Tribe Rinkah simply does not stand out among the bunch.
