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 Shez (F) are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and boosts her already very high Spd up to base 46, with her Crimson War-Axe adding 3 more to get it up to 49. This lets her compete with the fastest units in the metagame.

Her defensive stats are all quite decent. We chose Res as a bane because it can afford to take the hit, while HP is a superbane and is tied into the effects of her weapon.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Shez (F) to +10 for similar reasons above. Spd is her most important stat and should be prioritized.

Shez (F) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Shez (F) Roles

Shez - Keen Mercenary 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

Shez (F) 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.

Shez (F) Strengths

Crimson War-Axe has multiple effects that aid her offensively

Shez (F) wields Crimson War-Axe, an axe that grants Atk/Spd+6, Special cooldown acceleration, and damage reduction on the foe's first attack.

This axe suits her offensive playstyle very well, keeping her healthy and able to trigger low cooldown Specials repeatedly.

Above Average Bulk

Shez (F)'s defensive stats of 32 Def and 34 Res are quite nice for an offensive unit. These stats will reduce the amount of damage she will take, keeping her healthy and able to enter combat multiple times.

Shez (F) Weaknesses

Crimson War-Axe's conditions are reliant on her foes

The conditions to activate Crimson War-Axe are reliant on her foe having HP ≥ 75%. When facing damaged opponents, this axe becomes a mere Silver Axe+ with bonus Spd.

Choose your battles carefully with Shez (F) to ensure that her weapon remains active.
