Wil Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (15) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★★☆☆
Def (5) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (7) Res Bane ★★★★☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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.

+Res / -Def

The best IVs for Wil are +Res and -Def. While Wil's Atk is high at base 45, lacking an exclusive weapon means his combat potential will not be as good as modern day units with exclusive effects. Instead, we recommend leaning into Wil's high Res stat to have him soak magic damage while retaining his above average offensive power.

Def is Wil's least important stat and is a safe bane to take as it shouldn't impact most of his matchups.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Wil up to +10 to improve his ability to soak magic damage for the team.

Wil 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.

Wil Strengths

Halting Bow+ denies his foe's follow-ups

Wil's inheritable Halting Bow+ inflicts Atk/Def-5 onto his foe and denies their follow-up attack.

This is a decent defensive bow meant for slower units with above average bulk.

High Atk and Res

As mentioned above, Wil's high Res stat of base 40 allows him to double as a unit who can soak magic damage for the team while his base 45 Atk serves as a decent offensive option.

Not many bow units in the game have a good Res stat, and those that do have weaknesses in other areas.

Wil Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

Wil suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him unable to stand out amongst other units.

Bow Infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Wil replaceable by better units.
