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 Tea Lysithea are +Spd and -Def. Baked Treats neutralizes effects that prevent Tea Lysithea's follow-up attacks, allowing her to maximize her base 46 Spd (base 50 with a Superboon) to outspeed her foes.

Tea Lysithea's Def is abysmal at only base 20 and is a safe bane to take as she will fall to any physical attack with her paper defenses and lack of damage reduction.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Tea Lysithea to +10 to maximize her chances to create follow-up attacks.
