Halloween Duma Skills at 5★

Ghostly Lanterns Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk+6 to unit and inflicts Atk-6 on foe during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks, foe cannot make a follow-up attack, and also, if foe's attack can trigger their Special and unit's Res ≥ foe's Res+5 during combat, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack. (Cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown.) If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Glimmer Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts damage dealt by 50%.

Distant Ferocity Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. If foe initiates combat, grants Atk+5 to unit during combat.

Dragon Wall 3 If unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%).

Woeful Upheaval At the start of turn 1, deals 7 damage to all foes. Reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by percentage = difference between Unit's Atk and foe's Atk (min. 0) + difference between foe's max HP and foe's current HP at start of combat, x 3 (max. 30). If a foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers 【Savior】 on unit.

Halloween Duma's Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill
Neutralizes any 【Penalty】, restores 30 HP, and grants "neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat" for 1 turn to unit and allies within 5 rows and 5 columns centered on unit. (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1

Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 195, treats unit's stats as 195 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Halloween Duma Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★★★
Atk (13)		★★★★★
Spd (4)		★★☆☆☆
Def (10)		★★★★☆
Res (13)		★★★★★

◯ = 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.

+Atk / -Spd

The best IVs for Halloween Duma are +Atk and -Spd. His Atk stat is the highest in the entire game at base 46, and it emphasizes his playstyle of blowing up his foe in one hit with Glimmer. Boosting his Atk improves his performance.

+Def or +Res are also good options to improve his bulk, aided by superboons on both of those stats. Res is a better option to help improve his Res checks with his skills.

His Spd is a clear dump stat and is the easy bane of choice.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Halloween Duma up to +10 for similar reasons above.

Halloween Duma Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Duma Roles

Duma - Strength and Love 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

Halloween Duma is a close magic attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Halloween Duma Strengths

Ghostly Lanterns has multiple powerful effects that all help Duma

Halloween Duma's exclusive weapon Ghostly Lanterns has multiple effects that all swing combat in his favor.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Halloween Duma's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Atk+6 to Halloween Duma during combat.
Halloween Duma's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Inflicts Atk-6 on Halloween Duma's foe during combat.
Halloween Duma's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks.
Halloween Duma's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Halloween Duma's foe cannot make a follow-up attack.
Halloween Duma's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat Foe's attack can trigger their Special Halloween Duma's Res ≥ Foe's Res+5	Inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack.
Foe's Range = 2	Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Ghostly Lanterns is a loaded weapon that skews combat heavily in Halloween Duma's favor. He completely denies his foe's follow-up attacks unless they have a 【Null Follow-Up】 effect, and he increases their Special cooldown count if their Special is ready. If his foe cannot attack twice through Ghostly Lanterns, they will never get their Special activated against him.

Woeful Upheaval is a powercrept Far Save

Halloween Duma's exclusive C skill Woeful Upheaval is an upgraded Far Save effect that combines his original version's Upheaval with a Far Save effect, and adds damage reduction on top of it as well!

As a Dragon unit, he will be a reliable Far Save tank with this skill, especially with the abundance of Windsweep effects and the lack of Watersweep effects in the metagame.

The wording on his damage reduction may be confusing, but it can be simplified into:

• every point of HP his foe is missing = 3% damage reduction
• every point of difference between his Atk and his foe's Atk = 3% damage reduction (minimum of 0%)
• both of these effects can add up to a maximum cap of 30%

This skill outclasses the regular Far Save skills, and should be used at all times if using him as a Far Save tank.

Duo Skill removes penalties, heals Duma and his allies, and neutralizes foe's bonuses

Halloween Duma also has a Duo Skill that removes all penalties on himself and his nearby allies, heals them for 30 HP, and gives them a neutralizes foe's bonuses effect.

While this may seem tame compared to the rest of his kit, it is still an option that is available whenever it is needed.

Amazing min-maxed statline

Halloween Duma's base stats are maximized in key areas. He has a base HP of 47, base Def of 40, and base Res of 43. All of these stats make Halloween Duma incredibly bulky, and with his weapon's follow-up denial effects and his damage reduction effects on top of that, he will be difficult to take down.

If that wasn't enough he also has a base Atk of 46. As of the time of his release, this is the highest base Atk in the entire game.

Duma truly is the God of strength, and his Duma Faithful will rejoice once he is done with his enemies.

Halloween Duma Weaknesses

Abysmal Spd

With his other stats all maximized, it is a given that his Spd will take a hit. Halloween Duma's base Spd of 19 is very low, but he can afford to dump it, especially with Ghostly Lanterns's follow-up denial effects.

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Halloween Duma takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Slaying Hammer+, Randgríðr, or Thani, 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!

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Halloween Duma takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Sealed Falchion or Divine Mist, 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!
