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, Sage Soren 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 Sage Soren are +Atk and -Def. His Atk is high at base 43 and should be boosted to increase his damage output. His Spd is not good enough to reliably make follow-up attacks, thus maximizing his damage is top priority.

His Def is a clear dump stat and should be the bane of choice.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Sage Soren up to +10 to maximize his damage output.

Sage Soren Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Sage Soren Roles

Soren - Wind of Tradition 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 Soren 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.

Sage Soren Strengths

Magical Lantern+ ignores terrain penalties, grants Special cooldown acceleration and Atk/Res bonuses

Sage Soren's inheritable blue tome Magical Lantern+ ignores terrain penalties like all the other weapons introduced with Soren.

It also grants accelerated Special charges per attack and grants Atk/Res+5 during combat.

This is a great blue tome to inherit to your favorite units.

Sage Soren Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

Blue Tome infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Soren replaceable by better units.
