Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (8)		★★★★★

Def (4)		★☆☆☆☆
Res (13)		★★★★★

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

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 New Year Seiðr are +Res and -Def. Boosting her Res improves her ability to shut down an enemy completely with Future-Sighted by winning the Res check. This effect is more important than any of her other stats and should be invested into whenever possible.

Additionally, boosting Res allows New Year Seiðr to fulfill a magic tank role as her Res stat is among the highest in the game.

New Year Seiðr's Def is abysmal at only base 17 and should be the bane of choice as she will fall to any physical attack.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging New Yes Seiðr up to +10 for similar reasons above. Winning the Res check is vital and should be the main priority at all times.

New Year Seiðr Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Seiðr Roles

Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher

New Year Seiðr Strengths

Goddess Temari has multiple effects that impact combat

New Year Seiðr comes with an exclusive weapon in Goddess Temari. This blue tome grants Atk/Res+6 and a status effect preventing foe's follow-up attacks to Seiðr and all nearby allies at the start of each turn.

In combat, Goddess Temari grants bonus stats and has multiple effects that trigger based on the turn count:

• Grants New Year Seiðr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X (X = turn number × 2, max 8)
• On turn 3 onward, grants bonus damage equal to the highest total bonuses among unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit.
• On turn 4 onward, New Year Seiðr attacks twice.

Additionally, if 【Time's Gate】 is active on New Year Seiðr or if 【Time's Grip】 is active on target or on foes within 2 spaces of target, all of the effects above will trigger.

Future-Sighted ends foe's actions and grants in-combat effects

New Year Seiðr's exclusive C skill Future-Sighted ends the action of the nearest foe in cardinal directions that aren't inflicted by 【Time's Grip】 upon winning a Res check after foe's start-of-turn skills trigger.

Upon ending the action of those foe(s), Future-Sighted inflicts 【Time's Grip】 on those foes as well.

In combat, Future-Sighted grants New Year Seiðr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and 30% damage reduction on her foe's first attack during combat.

New Year Seiðr Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, New Year Seiðr takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
