Atk (10)		★★★★★

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 New Year Kvasir are +Spd and -Def. Boosting Spd improves her base Spd to base 51 which is among the highest in the game, allowing New Year Kvasir to create follow-up attacks while preventing her opponent's follow-up attacks.

New Year Kvasir's Def is quite low at only base 21 and is a safe bane to take as it will not impact any of her matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging New Year Kvasir up to +10 to ensure she wins any Spd checks against her foes.

New Year Kvasir Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Kvasir Roles

Kvasir - Unknown Future 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

New Year Kvasir 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.

New Year Kvasir Strengths

Faded Paper Fan cuts enemy damage reduction, grants bonus stats and damage reduction, and inflicts Flash

New Year Kvasir's Faded Paper Fan grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Kvasir and inflicts a Spd/Res penalty to her foe equal to 20% of her Spd at start of combat.

Faded Paper Fan also cuts the effectiveness of her foe's non-Special damage reduction skills in half. Most metagame units have some form of non-Special damage reduction in their kit; New Year Kvasir can combat these effects and deal significant damage to them with her attacks.

Faded Paper Fan also grants New Year Kvasir 70% damage reduction on the very first attack she receives on either phase, allowing her to survive heavy damage and live through combat despite her average bulk.

Finally, Faded Paper Fan inflicts the 【Flash】 status to her foe and all foes within 2 spaces after combat, opening the way for her allies to attack safely.

Light is Time grants either an extra action to an ally or warping to all allies

New Year Kvasir's also comes with Light is Time similar to her base version. This exclusive Special neutralizes effects that slow down Kvasir's Special cooldown charges during combat and boosts her damage by 60% of her foe's Atk during combat.

After combat, if Light is Time triggered and New Year Kvasir survives combat, one of two things will trigger:

• If there is only one ally with the highest HP among allies within 2 spaces of New Year Kvasir that have already acted during that turn, grants another action to that ally.
• If the above condition isn't met, grants 【Time's Gate】 to New YearKvasir after combat.

【Time's Gate】 is a bonus status effect that allows allies within 4 spaces of the affected unit (New Year Kvasir in this case) to warp to a space adjacent to that unit for that turn. When positioned properly, allies can warp from far distances and attack enemies they otherwise couldn't reach.

New Year Kvasir Weaknesses

Subpar physical bulk

New Year Kvasir only has base 40 HP and base 21 Def, leaving her prone to defeat from physical damage.

She will be completely reliant on her 70% damage reduction effect to survive; if she is attacked more than once, she is likely to fall in combat.
