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

+Spd / -Def

The best IVs for Tea Tailtiu are +Spd and -Def. Tea Tailtiu's base 44 Spd is high enough to keep up with fast metagame units given sufficient investment.

Tea Tailtiu's Def is very low at only base 21 and is a safe bane to take. No amount of investment will protect her against physical damage.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Tea Tailtiu to +10 as it is her best stat by far.

Tea Tailtiu Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Tea Tailtiu Roles

Tailtiu - Teatime Mingler 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

Tea Tailtiu 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.

Tea Tailtiu Strengths

Teacake Tower+ grants bonus stats and reverses foe's bonuses into penalties

Tea Tailtiu's inheritable Teacake Tower+ grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res penalties onto her foe equal to twice their visible bonuses, essentially turning them into penalties.

This effect is impactful when applied properly and can grant Tea Tailtiu a big advantage in combat.

Tea Tailtiu Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Tea Tailtiu suffers from not having any unique skills to call his/her own, making her unable to stand out amongst other units.

Offensive tome infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Tea Tailtiu replaceable by better units.
