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, New Year Yarne will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for New Year Yarne are +Spd and -Res. His Spd is a superboon and is his most important stat, being the basis for Wary Rabbit Fang's Atk/Def penalty application.

His Res is a clear dump stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging New Year Yarne up to +10 in order to maximize his combat potential through follow-up attacks and Wary Rabbit Fang's Atk/Def penalties.

New Year Yarne Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Yarne Roles

Yarne - Happy New Year 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

New Year Yarne is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he/she deals will be equivalent to his/her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

New Year Yarne Strengths

Wary Rabbit Fang has multiple in-combat effects and reduces Special cooldown post-combat

New Year Yarne's exclusive weapon Wary Rabbit Fang grants Spd+3 and is effective against cavalry foes.

Additionally, if New Year Yarne initiates combat or is not adjacent to an ally, it grants him Atk/Spd+6 during combat, inflicts an Atk/Def penalty equal to 20% of his Spd, and reduces his Special cooldown by 2 after combat if his HP ≤ 90%.

The Special cooldown reduction is the best part about this weapon, allowing New Year Yarne to trigger Galeforce easily. This condition is easily met by Yarne taking some damage, or even by equipping self-recoil skills like Fury to ensure he falls below the HP threshold.

New Year Yarne Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry or Beast Effective Weapons

New Year Yarne takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
