Brave Soren Skills at 5★


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).

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.

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.

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).

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) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (15) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (4) Spd Boon ★★★☆☆
Def (3) Def Bane ★☆☆☆☆
Res (12) No Res IV ★★★★★

◯ = 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 Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Brave Soren's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
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 reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Res during combat (including area-of-effect Specials, excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials), and also, if unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of- effect Specials by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%; excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials).
At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Res-7, 【Exposure】, and 【Discord】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 2, + 5 (max 11), neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Res, and deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Arch-Sage Tome

Refined Arch-Sage Tome grants additional support effects for the team and also grants Soren debuff neutralization, bonus stats, true damage, and true damage reduction.

Refined Arch-Sage Tome is a big upgrade over the base version and is worth refining if Brave Soren is a frequent member on your teams.

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

Condition(s) Effect
Always ・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 Soren.

If Brave Soren is within 3 spaces of an ally ・ Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus to Soren equal to 5 + the highest bonus on each stat between allies within 3 spaces.
・ Grants Soren true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Res (including against area-of-effect Specials).

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 effects to protect himself against physical attacks.

Keep him away from these enemies to ensure his survival!
