Grants Res+3. Calculates damage from staff like other weapons. At start of turn, if any foe's Res < unit's Res and that foe is adjacent to another foe, inflicts Atk/Res-6 and status preventing counterattacks on that foe through its next action. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Res+6 to unit and deals damage = total penalties on foe during combat. (If the "calculates damage from staff like other weapons" effect is neutralized, damage from staff is calculated after combat damage is added.)

Range: 1
Restores HP = 50% of Atk -10 (Minimum of 7 HP. ) If target’s HP is ≤ 50%, the lower the target’s HP, the more HP is restored.

Cooldown Count = 5
If unit’s HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit’s HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP.

If unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Res +6 during combat.

Cornelia Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (11) No Attack IV ★★★★★
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★☆☆☆
Def (4) Def Bane ★★☆☆☆
Res (10) Res Boon ★★★★★

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Cornelia will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Res / -Spd

The best IVs for Cornelia are +Res and -Spd. She has a decently high Res stat at 40, which if boosted, can help her take full advantage of her base kit as it is centered around her Res stat.

At base 23, Cornelia's Spd is her worst stat, making it a safe choice for her bane.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Cornelia up to +10 as it is her best stat and for the same reasons above.

+Atk could also work if you want to make her more offensive.

Cornelia 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.

Cornelia Strengths

Asclepius is a great exclusive staff!

Asclepius is one of Cornelia's highlights. It is an exclusive staff capable of inflicting Sabotage Atk/Res on foes, Flash, and bonus damages equal to the total penalties applied on foes. It also has a built-in Wrathful Staff effect, which gives you more freedom to choose a better Passive B skill like Atk/Res Tempo 3, for example.

Cornelia Weaknesses

Low Spd and Def

Cornelia doesn't have enough physical bulk to survive Def-based combats. She would likely go down with one hit from any physical attackers on the enemy lines. Thus, giving you the added responsibility of protecting her should you wish to deploy her on the battlefield.

She will also have a hard time making follow-up attacks due to her poor Spd stat. This also prevents her from taking full advantage of modern staff skills like Poetic Justice and Dazzling Shift, which inflicts Spd on foes but wouldn't matter much since her Spd will likely still be lower. However, Dazzling Shift is still a great option due to the warping effects it provides.

Cornelia as a Source Hero

Cornelia Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★☆☆

Cornelia has Rehabilitate+, Atk/Res Solo 3, and Sabotage Def 3 as good inheritance options.

We recommend merging up your Cornelia copies instead. However, if you need to, focus on Atk/Res Solo 3 as you can use it to get Atk/Res Solo 4 from other units like Fallen Morgan (M) who also has other good skills to pass down.
