Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (18) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Atk (11) | ★★★★★ | |
Spd (4) | ★☆☆☆☆ | |
Def (9) | ★★★★☆ | |
Res (10) | ★★★★★ |
◯ = 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.
As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Validar will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.
The best IVs for Validar are +Res and -Spd. Res is Validar's most important stat, being the basis for Grimleal Text's penalty effects. Boosting Res maximizes the chances of Validar cripping multiple foes prior to combat.
Validar's Spd is a clear dump stat and is a safe bane to take.
We recommend +Res when merging Validar up to +10 to ensure Grimleal Text debuffs as many enemies as possible.

Validar requires winning a Res check to trigger Grimleal Text, thus, stacking Res through Still Water skills is ideal in ensuring he triggers the debuff effects. Stacking further Res-based debuffs in Sabotage A/R 3 and Atk/Res Ploy 3 improves Validar's performance.

This is a budget build aimed at triggering Grimleal Text consistently. Quick Riposte grants a follow-up attack on enemy phase to ensure Validar defeats his foes despite Fortress Res reducing his Atk.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Validar is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.
Validar's Grimleal Text inflicts Def/Res-6, 【Panic】, and 【Discord】 on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Validar upon winning a Res check at the start of each turn. Applying multiple penalties at a distance to multiple enemies is an incredible support tool, making Validar one of the best dual-role units in the game by both providing long-range support as well as fulfilling a magic tank role when necessary.
Grimleal Text also inflicts Atk/Res-6 to Validar's foe during combat and grants Validar a guaranteed follow-up attack and bonus damage based on the total number of non-stat【Penalty】 effects active on foe and any foe within 2 spaces of that foe. These effects ensure Validar can hit hard and defeat his crippled enemies with ease.
Validar's performance heavily relies on inflicting penalties onto his foes, either through Grimleal Text or by other means.
There are multiple ways to avoid these penalties, such as by winning the Res check, or by cleansing them off with skills like Odd Recovery 3 or simply ending action and refreshing turns.
Validar's performance against foes without penalties is quite lacking, making him a sitting duck on the battlefield.
Validar's Spd stat is quite poor at only base 17, and he lacks a way to prevent his foe's follow-up attacks.
He will be attacked twice most of the time, relying solely on raw stats to survive combat.
