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.

+Res / -Def

The best IVs for Dwyer are +Res and -Def. Dwyer has a relatively high Res stat at base 39 (43 with a superboon) and he can serve a niche by being a Res tank and a healer at the same time.

His Def is lackluster and should be the bane of choice. Atk is also a good bane if opting to use him strictly as a support.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Dwyer up to +10 for similar reasons above. Res is his best stat and maximizing it allows Dwyer to have a clear niche on the team.

Dwyer Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Dwyer Roles

Dwyer - Sleepy Butler 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

Dwyer is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he/she deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Dwyer Strengths

Aid+ heals allies at any distance

Dwyer's Aid+ heals his most wounded ally for 10 HP at the start of each turn, no matter how far away they are from him.

Combined with his healing assist, Dwyer functions well as a pure support by being able to heal multiple allies in one action, or simply healing an ally twice to bring them back up to full.

Dwyer Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Dwyer suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him a mediocre option on the battlefield.

Other healers with exclusive skills will outshine him, as they can provide additional utility on top of their healing skills.

Bad Atk

Dwyer's base 37 Atk is not good enough for the modern metagame, even if he is given Wrathful Staff 3 either through the B skill or through a weapon refine.

His best role is to function as a pure support by utilizing his high Res stat with Res-check skills.
