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

+Def / -Res

The best IVs for Spring Michalis are +Def and -Res. Def is his best stat sitting at a very impressive base 47 and is essential in fulfilling his role as a physical tank.

His Res is abysmal at only base 17 with a superbane. Reducing it further will not impact any of his matchups.

+Def for a +10 merge

We recommend +Def when merging Spring Michalis up to +10 for similar reasons above.

Spring Michalis Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Spring Michalis Roles

Michalis - Fruiting Ambition 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

Spring Michalis is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Spring Michalis Strengths

Hare's Lance+ boosts Atk/Def and grants damage reduction

Spring Michalis carries an inheritable Lance in Hare's Lance+. This weapon grants Atk/Def+5 during combat and 40% damage reduction on the foe's first attack.

While nothing spectacular, this weapon boosts Spring Michalis' most important stats and the damage reduction improves his capacity to fulfill his role as a tank.

Very high Def

Spring Michalis has base 47 Def, which is the highest in the game as of the time of his release.

This allows him to become a formidable physical tank that can repeatedly take hits from physical foes.

Spring Michalis Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

Lance fliers are quite common in both the regular summoning pool and the Heroic Grail pool, making Spring Michalis unable to stand out among his peers with exclusive skills to call their own.

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Spring Michalis takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
