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 Summer Tharja are +Spd and -Def. Summer Tharja's Spd is a superboon and boosting it improves her combat performance, allowing her to keep up with faster units. With the lack of an exclusive weapon, Summer Tharja needs this boost in order to compete.

Summer Tharja's Def is terrible, sitting at only base 19. Any physical attack should defeat her in one hit. Taking Def as a bane doesn't impact any of her matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Summer Tharja to +10 to maximize her combat potential as a speedy unit.

Summer Tharja Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Tharja Roles

Tharja - Beach Dark Mage 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

Summer Tharja 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.

Summer Tharja Strengths

Seashell Bowl+ is a good offensive weapon

Summer Tharja's inheritable weapon Seashell Bowl+ grants Atk/Spd+5 during combat and inflicts a Spd/Res penalty onto her foe based on Summer Tharja's current HP stat.

Seashell Bowl+ also provides 10 HP post-combat healing, keeping Summer Tharja topped off at all times.

Summer Tharja Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Summer Tharja suffers from not having any unique skills to call her own, making her unable to stand out amongst other units.

Blue Tome units as well as ranged Cavalry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Summer Tharja replaceable by better units.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Tharja takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
