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

Kiragi's best IVs are +Spd and -Res. Boosting his already high Spd stat from 43 to 47 through a superboon allows him to compete with the fastest units in the metagame.

His Res is too low to salvage, thus it is the bane of choice.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Kiragi up to +10. With his subpar kit, he needs every advantage he can get, and Spd is his redeeming quality.

Kiragi Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Kiragi Roles

Kiragi - Upbeat Archer 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

Kiragi is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Kiragi Strengths

Unbound Bow+ inflicts penalties and neutralizes bonuses

Kiragi's Unbound Bow+ inflicts Spd/Def-5 on the opponent during combat and neutralizes their bonuses to Spd and Def.

This weapon improves upon Kiragi's already high Spd stat and can give him the edge he needs to make a follow-up attack against his foes.

Kiragi Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Kiragi suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him unable to stand out amongst all the other infantry bows in the game.

Other bow units with exclusive skills will outshine him, as they can provide additional effects that are difficult to acquire with inheritable skills.
