Brave Soren Skills at 5★

Arch-Sage Tome Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6 and 【Assign Decoy】 to any support partner within 2 spaces of unit or, if unit is not on a team with unit's support partner, to ally with the highest Def within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 5 + highest bonus on each stat between allies within 3 spaces of unit (calculates each stat bonus independently), and if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%). 【Assign Decoy】 If foe's Range = unit's Range and foe initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers 【Savior】 on unit (that turn only; triggers only if unit is not equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect).

Flare Cooldown Count = 3 If unit's HP ≥ 70% when Special triggers, boosts damage by 60% of foe's Res. If unit's HP < 70% when Special triggers, boosts damage by 40% of foe's Res and restores 30% of unit's maximum HP.

Rare Talent At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+7 to unit and disables foe's effects that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" (excluding when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special) during combat, and also, the following effects will occur based on the value of unit's Res minus foe's Res: if ≥ 1, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat; if ≥ 10 and either foe's Range = 2 or unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice during combat.

Mag. Null Follow Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (example: a foe with a "reduce damage by 45%" skill would reduce damage by 23% instead).

Time's Pulse 4 At start of turn, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1. After combat, if Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1.

Brave Soren Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (15)		★★★★★
Spd (4)		★★★☆☆
Def (3)		★☆☆☆☆
Res (12)		★★★★★

◯ = 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.

+Res / -Def

The best IVs for Brave Soren are +Res and -Def. Boosting Res improves his performance as a Magic tank, boosts his Res-based damage reduction, and improves his Res-check for Rare Talent at the same time.

Soren's Def is clearly a dump stat and is the best bane to take.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Brave Soren up to +10 as it is his most important stat.

Brave Soren Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Soren Roles

Soren - Radiant Confidant 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

Brave Soren is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Brave Soren Strengths

Arch-Sage Tome applies 【Assign Decoy】 and grants damage reduction

Brave Soren's Arch-Sage Tome grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6 and the 【Assign Decoy】 status to either his support partner or to the ally with the highest Def at the start of turn, as long as those units are within 2 spaces of Soren.

The 【Assign Decoy】 status turns the affected unit into a Savior unit that protects their nearby allies from attacks based on that unit's Range. If a melee unit is affected with 【Assign Decoy】, they have a Near Save effect, and if a ranged unit is affected, they have a Far Save effect.

The best units to apply 【Assign Decoy】 to are bulky units like New Year Askr, or units with multiple sources of damage reduction like Brave Dimitri. The example units we selected lack any movement-type weaknesses and have flat damage reduction that cannot be pierced by damage-reduction piercing effects.

Arch-Sage Tome also grants Brave Soren an Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus equal to the highest bonus on each stat between allies within 3 spaces of Soren, and it also grants him damage reduction based on a Res-check - up to 40%.

Rare Talent disables adaptive damage, has half-Tempo and a brave effect

Brave Soren's exclusive A skill Rare Talent grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+7 during combat, disables his foe's adaptive damage effects, and has other effects based on a Res check:

• If Soren's Res is greater than his foe's Res, neutralizes effects that slow down Brave Soren's Special charges
• If Soren's Res ≥ foe's Res +10, and either his foe is a ranged unit or Soren initiates combat, Brave Soren attacks twice

Brave Soren has the highest Res stat in the game as of the time of his release, making the Res checks easy to fulfill!

Brave Soren Weaknesses

Abysmal Def

Brave Soren's Def sits at only base 16, making him fully reliant on his damage reduction effect to protect himself against physical attacks.

Keep him away from these enemies to ensure his survival!
