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.

+Res / -Def

The best IVs for Valentine's Leo are +Res and -Def. Boosting Leo's Res improves the Res check of his Duskbloom Bow both for the 【Gravity】 and Def/Res penalty effect as well as the in-combat effects.

His Def is abysmal and reducing it has no effect on his matchups. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Valentine's Leo to +10 in order to maximize the Res check of Duskbloom Bow.

How to Use, Explanation

Valentine's Leo Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Valentine's Leo Roles

Leo - Shrouded Heart 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

Valentine's Leo is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Valentine's Leo Strengths

Duskbloom Bow is a fantastic support weapon

Valentine's Leo's Duskbloom Bow is a great support weapon that also improves his combat potential.

At the start of every player phase and every enemy phase, it inflicts Def/Res-7 and 【Gravity】 on all foes in cardinal directions of Valentine's Leo if their Res is less than Leo's Res.

With Leo's very high Res stat, this effect will trigger very often.

Additionally, it grants multiple in-combat effects based on the value of Leo's Res minus his foe's Res:

Leo's Res - foe's Res and other conditions	Effect
≥ 1	Valentine's Leo makes a guaranteed follow-up attack
≥ 4	Valentine's Leo deals damage = 20% of his Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)
≥ 7 Valentine's Leo initiates combat	Neutralizes effects that prevent Valentine's Leo's follow-up attacks
≥ 7 Valentine's Leo initiates combat	Reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 30%

Valentine's Leo Weaknesses

Abysmal Physical Bulk

Valentine's Leo suffers from having a very low base Def of 16, further reduced to 12 if he has a Def superbane.

Together with his below average base 37 HP, one attack from any physical attacker will be able to defeat him in combat.

Keep him away from foes who deal physical damage to ensure his survival.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Valentine's Leo 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 him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
