Blazing Wind Cooldown Count = 4 Before combat this unit initiates, foes in an area near target take damage equal to 1.5x (unit’s Atk minus foe’s Def or Res).

Atk/Spd Ideal 4 At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% or if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% and 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat.

HP (19)		★★★★☆
Atk (15)		★★★★★

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.

+Spd / -Def

The best IVs for Ascended Ced are +Spd and -Def. Boosting Spd improves his already high Spd stat and allows him to keep up with the fastest metagame units.

Ced's Def is below average at only base 22 and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ascended Ced up to +10 to ensure he keeps up with all the fast metagame units.

How to Use, Explanation

Ascended Ced's base kit is already good enough to perform as an offensive unit that can also provide team support with Infantry Pulse. If on a budget, Flare can be replaced by Dragon Fang or just his base kit's Blazing Wind.

Ascended Ced Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ascended Ced Roles

Ced - Sage of the Wind 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

Ascended Ced 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.

Ascended Ced Strengths

Heired Forseti has multiple offensive effects

Ascended Ced's exclusive weapon Heired Forseti grants a visible Atk/Spd+6 buff and Special cooldown count -1 at the start of turn, setting him up for a large offensive attack.

In combat, Heired Forseti grants Ced Atk/Spd+6, 30% damage reduction on his foe's first attack, and bonus damage equal to a percentage of his Spd when his Special triggers. The bonus damage is dependent on Ced's max Special cooldown count value; a higher Special cooldown count would lead to more damage, but a lower Special cooldown count would trigger this effect more often.

Ascended Ced Weaknesses

Low Def

Ascended Ced's base Def is only at a below average 22, making him prone to defeat from physical damage.

Keep him away from foes that inflict physical damage to maximize his survival.
