Rarity	5 Star
What Kind of Character Are They?	・Weapon skill grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack, 30% damage reduction, and "neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk" to allies within 2 spaces of unit, and grants Atk/Res+6 and a guaranteed follow-up attack to unit.

Halloween Flayn Skills at 5★

Kitty-Cat Parasol Might: 14　 Range: 2 Calculates damage from staff like other weapons. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1; max cooldown count value cannot be reduced below 1). For allies within 2 spaces of unit, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to ally per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), neutralizes their foe's bonuses to Atk (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.), and reduces damage from attacks by 30% (excluding area-of-effect Specials) during their combat. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+6 to unit during combat and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.

Rescue+ Range: 1 Restores HP = 50% of unit's Atk (min 8 HP) to target ally. Unit moves 1 space away from target ally. Ally moves to unit's previous space. If unit or ally cannot move to the target space (if another ally or foe is occupying the space), unit and ally will not move. Using this skill has no effect on Special cooldown charge and unit does not gain EXP or SP. (This skill is treated as a movement skill only when movement takes place.)

Holy Pressure Cooldown Count = 3 If an Assist skill is used, unit's Special cooldown count does not go down. When Special triggers, boosts damage by 45% of foe's Res. (Calculates damage from staff after combat damage is added.) If this Special is triggered during combat, inflicts 【Gravity】 on target and adjacent foes after combat.

Atk/Res Unity If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+5 and bonus to Atk/Res during combat = current penalty on each of those stats x 2 (Example: If unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+19, for a net bonus of Atk+12.) Calculates each stat bonus independently.

Dazzle Far Trace Enables 【Canto (Rem.)】. Inflicts Spd-4 on foe and foe cannot counterattack during combat.

Atk (9)		★★★★★

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.

+Atk / -Def

The best IVs for Halloween Flayn are +Atk and -Def. Boosting Atk improves Flayn's offensive capabilities, aided by Kitty-Cat Parasol's guaranteed follow-up attack.

+Res is also a good option as it is a superboon and gives Halloween Flayn a magic tank role if necessary.

Def is the clear bane of choice as it is Halloween Flayn's least important stat, and no amount of investment will be able to salvage it.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Halloween Flayn up to +10 to improve her offensive capabilities. Her support is already top notch; investing into Atk provides more opportunities for Flayn to contribute elsewhere.

Halloween Flayn Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Flayn Roles

Flayn - Silly Kitty-Cat 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

Halloween Flayn 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.

Halloween Flayn Strengths

Kitty-Cat Parasol provides amazing support

Halloween Flayn's exclusive weapon Kitty-Cat Parasol has a built-in Wrathful Staff effect and an accelerated Special trigger.

Kitty-Cat Parasol grants all allies within 2 spaces of Halloween Flayn the following effects:

• Special cooldown charge +1 per attack
• Neutralizes their foe's visible bonuses to Atk
• 30% damage reduction

These effects are all relevant in battle, and Kitty-Cat Parasol passively grants them to multiple allies as long as they are within 2 spaces of Halloween Flayn. This weapon alone makes Halloween Flayn one of the best support units in the entire game.

In battle, Kitty-Cat Parasol grants Halloween Flayn Atk/Res+6 and a guaranteed follow-up attack, giving Flayn an above average offensive role if it becomes necessary for her to attack. These effects ensure that Flayn isn't a sitting duck whenever she is forced to participate in combat.

Halloween Flayn Weaknesses

Abysmal Physical Bulk

Halloween Flayn's base Def sits only at a base 18, and together with her base 38 HP, she is extremely susceptible to physical attacks. Any physical hit has the potential to knock her out provided that the attacking unit has somewhat decent offensive investment.

Keep Halloween Flayn away from enemies that deal physical damage in order to ensure her survival.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Halloween Flayn takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
