Sage Linde Skills at 5★

Celestial Globe Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants "unit cannot be slowed by terrain (does not apply to impassable terrain)" and 【Null Follow-Up】 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+5 to unit during combat, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50%.

Luna Cooldown Count = 3 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

Remote Sparrow If unit initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd+7 during combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 30%.

S/R Far Trace 3 Enables 【Canto (Rem.)】. Inflicts Spd/Res-3 on foe during combat. 【Canto (Rem.)】 After combat, unit can move spaces equal to the number of spaces they have not used yet in their previous action according to their movement type. For example, a flying unit who has moved 1 space to attack an opponent, can move 1 spaces after as fliers have 2 spaces of movement.

Def/Res Smoke 3 After combat, inflicts Def/Res-7 on target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions, grants Atk+6 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn, and grants 【Pathfinder】 to unit for 1 turn.

Sage Linde Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (15)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (14)		★★★★★
Spd (12)		★★★★★
Def (3)		★☆☆☆☆
Res (3)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Def

The best IVs for Sage Linde are +Spd and -Def. Her base Spd is really high at base 45, and the 【Null Follow-Up】 status ensures that she gets the most use out of that stat.

Her Def is a clear dump stat at only base 16 and should be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Sage Linde to +10 to maximize her Spd and ensure she gets the best chance to create follow-up attacks.

Sage Linde Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Sage Linde Roles

Linde - Bound by Fate 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

Sage Linde is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.

Sage Linde Strengths

Celestial Globe ignores terrain penalties, grants Null Follow-Up, stat bonuses, true damage, and cuts damage reduction in half

Sage Linde's exclusive weapon Celestial Globe accelerates Special trigger and ignores terrain penalties like all the other weapons for the heroes on her debut banner. However, unlike the other Sage units, this weapon grants the terrain bonus effect to Sage Linde and all allies within 2 spaces instead of just herself.

Celestial Globe also grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to Sage Linde and all allies within 2 spaces, making it a premiere support weapon. 【Null Follow-Up】 is a status usually only found on infantry units, with a few exceptions here and there. Being able to grant this status to any unit, regardless of movement type, is a very powerful effect.

Celestial Globe also grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and true damage equal to 20% of Sage Linde's Spd. This damage increase is also applied if Sage Linde deals damage with an area-of-effect Special.

Finally, Celestial Globe also cuts the effectiveness of non-Special damage reduction skills in half.

Harmonized Skill grants 【Resonance: Blades】, 【Dodge】, and Special charge acceleration

Sage Linde's Harmonized Skill grants 【Resonance: Blades】, 【Dodge】, and Special charge acceleration per attack during combat to herself and all allies from the same titles.

While not overwhelmingly powerful, this Harmonized Skill is a good boost in combat for one turn, allowing Sage Linde and her allies to push through the necessary damage.

Sage Linde Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Sage Linde takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
