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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Winter Bruno will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk / -Def

The best IVs for Winter Bruno are +Atk and -Def. His Atk is a superboon and improves his damage potential, which he sorely needs without an exclusive weapon.

His other stats are average and any of his defensive stats can be taken as a bane. We recommend -Def to give him a niche as a magic wall.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Winter Bruno up to +10 for similar reasons above. Without an exclusive weapon, Winter Bruno needs as much help as he can get to keep up with the metagame.

General Use / Budget Winter Bruno

： Peppy Cane+ ： Reciprocal Aid ： Iceberg ： -

： Atk/Res Bond 3 ： Wary Fighter 3 ： Atk Ploy 3 ： Atk/Res Bond 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Winter Bruno's base kit is suboptimal; we recommend replacing it with budget skills that fit his playstyle more. His Res isn't terrible and can be stacked to give him a role as a magical semi-tank.

Winter Bruno Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Bruno Roles

Bruno - Masked Reveler 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

Winter Bruno is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). 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.

Winter Bruno Strengths

Peppy Cane+ reduces foe's Atk/Res and denies follow-ups

Similar to Winter Annette's inheritable Peppy Bow+, Winter Bruno has Peppy Cane+ as an inheritable weapon.

This Green tome inflicts Atk/Res-5 onto his foe and denies their follow-up attacks.

This tome is a great option for bulky units like Winter Bruno and improves his survivability to allow him to fulfill his role as a defensive wall.

Winter Bruno Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Winter Bruno suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him unable to stand out amongst other units.

On top of this weakness, Winter Bruno's base kit is also quite lackluster, requiring investment in order to be useful to a team. His native Fury 3 deals recoil damage that may kick him out of Peppy Cane+'s HP check.

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Winter Bruno 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!
