Heired Yewfelle Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, grants Atk/Spd+X to unit (X = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat, - 8; min 0; max 10), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat, and also restores 7 HP to unit after combat.

Luna Cooldown Count = 3 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

Spd/Res Hexblade At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of a magic ally, grants 【Hexblade】 to unit for 1 turn.

Null Follow Inflicts Spd/Def-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).

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 Febail are +Spd and -Def. Boosting Spd improves his already high Spd stat and allows him to keep up with the fastest metagame units.

Febail's Def is his least important stat despite being salvageable at base 26 and is our recommended bane of choice.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

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

Febail Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Febail Roles

Febail - Mercenary Waif 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

Febail is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Febail Strengths

Heired Yewfelle has both offensive and defensive effects

Febail's Heired Yewfelle grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, an additional Atk/Spd bonus based on his foe's Atk stat, 30% damage reduction on his foe's first attack, the offensive Tempo effect which neutralizes effects that slow down Febail's Special charges, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

This weapon provides enough offensively to heavily dent or even defeat enemies while also providing some defense for when Febail is initiated upon.

Febail Weaknesses

Average bulk

Febail's overall bulk is simply average, with base 40 HP, 26 Def, and 31 Res, and not many ways to reduce incoming damage.

He will be easily defeated in one hit by offensively specialized units.
