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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Halloween Kellam will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk / -Spd

The best IVs for Halloween Kellam are +Atk and -Spd. Atk is a key stat at base 46 and investing into it may give Kellam the extra power he needs to secure knockouts.

+Def is also a good boon if focusing on a defensive build to utilize Halloween Kellam's fantastic Def stat.

Spd is the bane of choice, as it is only at base 31. Investing into it through a boon and skills won't be enough to have Halloween Kellam keep up with all the speedy metagame units. Additionally, even with a bane, Halloween Kellam can still outspeed the slow units in the metagame.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Halloween Kellam up to +10 to maximize his damage output.

Halloween Kellam Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Halloween Kellam Roles

Kellam - Pumpkin Knight 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 Kellam is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Halloween Kellam Strengths

Farmer's Tool+ boosts Atk/Def and grants an improved Bonus Doubler effect

Halloween Kellam's inheritable weapon Farmer's Tool+ grants a visible Atk/Def+6 bonus to himself and his nearby allies at the start of each turn.

In combat, Farmer's Tool+ grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X, where X is 4 plus the highest bonus on each stat between Halloween Kellam and his nearby allies.

This modified Bonus Doubler effect turns Halloween Kellam into a nice stat stick unit, making him versatile all around.

High Physical Bulk

Halloween Kellam's physical bulk is very impressive with his base 48 HP and base 48 Def. He will excel at a physical tank role with these stats.

Halloween Kellam's Spd is a bit lacking though, at only base 31, but this isn't too big of a deal when Kellam is barely taking any damage from physical hits.

Halloween Kellam Weaknesses

Middling Spd and Res

Halloween Kellam's base Spd and Res are sitting at only base 31 and 27 respectively, making him susceptible to fast mages or dragons that can create follow-up attacks.

Keep him away from these units to ensure his survival!

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Halloween Kellam takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Slaying Hammer+, Randgríðr, or Thani, 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!
