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 Ninja Heather are +Spd and -Def. Spd is a superboon and boosting Spd increases it to base 51, allowing Ninja Heather to outspeed a vast majority of the metagame.

Her Def is her least important stat and is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ninja Heather up to +10 to ensure she retains her Spd advantage over most of the heroes in the game.

Ninja Heather Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ninja Heather Roles

Heather - Wandering Ninja 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

Ninja Heather is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Ninja Heather Strengths

Spy's Shuriken attacks twice and grants an extra action after a Rally

Ninja Heather comes with her own exclusive weapon in Spy's Shuriken. This green dagger attacks twice when Ninja Heather initiates combat and grants her Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat.

Additionally, whenever a Rally Assist skill is used by Ninja Heather or targets Ninja Heather, Spy's Shuriken grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to both Ninja Heather and her ally, inflicts 【Exposure】 on all foes in cardinal directions of Ninja Heather and her ally, and grants Ninja Heather an extra action.

It is always advantageous to use a Rally Assist before attacking with Ninja Heather as the effects granted can swing combat in her favor quite easily.

Ninja Heather Weaknesses

Average bulk and attacking power

Ninja Heather's statline is heavily focused on Spd, with the other stats being simply average.

While she can perform well in combat due to her Spd, she will not be dealing massive damage and will be taking decent damage in return.
