Legendary Shez (F) Skills at 5★


Might: 8  Range: 2
Grants Spd+5. Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat). Neutralizes penalties on unit during combat. If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)
Effect: 【Dagger 7】

Cooldown Count = 2
Boosts damage dealt by 50%.

At start of player phase or enemy phase, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants 【Dodge】 and "neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit, reduces damage from foe's attacks by 7 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
If unit initiates combat against a non-dragon or non-beast infantry foe and unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+20, grants "effective against all weapon types" to unit during combat. Otherwise, if unit initiates combat and unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+5, grants "effective against all weapon types" to unit during combat.

Inflicts Spd/Def-3 on foe and additional penalty to foe's Spd/Def = 6 - current penalty on each of those stats during combat (min 0; calculates each stat penalty independently; still inflicts penalty on foe even if foe triggers an effect that neutralizes penalties during combat). If penalty is active on foe's Spd or Def, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). After combat, inflicts Spd/Def-6 on foe through its next action.

At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 and the following status to unit for 1 turn: "Unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces." If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+3 to unit during combat.

Legendary Shez (F) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (13) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (11) Spd Bane ★★★★★
Def (7) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (3) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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 / -Res

The best IVs for Legendary Shez (F) are +Atk and -Res. Atk is a superboon and boosting it significantly improves her knockout power with her brave weapon and effective damage.

+Spd is also an option in order to improve her Spd checks for effective damage. We recommend +Atk over it though.

Her Res is below average, and as a glass cannon, her defensive stats will hardly matter. Any of them can be safely taken as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Legendary Shez (F) up to +10 to secure knockouts as much as possible.

Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Asura Blades

Refined Asura Blades has built-in Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 visible stats and a brave effect, and inflicts 【Exposure】, 【Spd Shackle】, and 【Def Shackle】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes at the start of turn and after Shez acts.

In combat, refined Asura Blades grants Shez up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+11 (based on foes within 3 rows and 3 columns), up to +25 bonus true damage (based on Bonuses and Penalties), 7 true damage reduction, neutralizes Shez's penalties, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack if Shez outspeeds her foe.

Legendary Shez (F) is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Legendary Shez (F) Strengths

Asura Blades attacks twice and grants Special charges

Legendary Shez (F) Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Shez's refined Asura Blades has built-in Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 visible stats and a brave effect, and inflicts 【Exposure】, 【Spd Shackle】, and 【Def Shackle】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes at the start of turn and after Shez acts.

In combat, refined Asura Blades grants Shez up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+11 (based on foes within 3 rows and 3 columns), up to +25 bonus true damage (based on Bonuses and Penalties), 7 true damage reduction, neutralizes Shez's penalties, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack if Shez outspeeds her foe.

Refined Asura Blades is an offensive weapon, applying debuffs that all hinder the foes in combat and boosts Shez's combat potential. Together with Swift Slice II, Legendary Shez (F) is a hard hitting offensive unit that can be relied upon to burst down her foes.

Swift Slice II is effective against all weapon types

Legendary Shez (F) also has an exclusive remixed A skill in Swift Slice II.

This skill grants 【Dodge】 and neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat to herself and allies within 2 spaces at the start of each phase and grants Shez Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9, 7 true damage reduction, a Tempo effect, and 50% DR piercing whenever she is initiating combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally.

More importantly, it grants effective damage against all weapon types upon winning a conditional Spd check depending on her opponent whenever she initiates combat:

Opponent Condition
Infantry, non-Beast, non-Dragon Legendary Shez (F)'s Spd ≥ foe's Spd+20
Infantry, Beast or Dragon Legendary Shez (F)'s Spd ≥ foe's Spd+5
Cavalry, Flying, or Armored Legendary Shez (F)'s Spd ≥ foe's Spd+5.

Sources that nullify effective damage are usually tied to movement types, such as Iote's Shield, Brave Hector's refined Maltet, and so on. Swift Slice II dodges all of them by being effective against weapon types instead.

Attacking twice with a brave effect and with effective damage will more often than not defeat her foe in one combat.

Legendary Shez (F) Weaknesses

Effective damage is only on player phase and conditional on Spd checks

The effective damage dealt by Asura Blades is only active on player phase, and Legendary Shez (F) needs to win a Spd check as well.

The top of the metagame has a lot of incredibly speedy units; winning the Spd check is not guaranteed, even if Shez is stacked with various skills that boost Spd.

Additionally, when facing a human infantry unit, the Spd check needs to exceed 20, and this can prove to be incredibly difficult to achieve.

Glass cannon bulk

Legendary Shez (F) suffers from her stats all being allocated to her offenses, leaving her with subpar bulk.

Most hard hitting modern units can defeat her in one hit. Keep her out of range to ensure her survival.
