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 Nabata Tormod are +Spd and -Def. Boosting Spd helps Nabata Tormod keep up with faster metagame units; he will need every Spd point he can get due to his lack of an exclusive weapon.

Nabata Tormod's Def is his least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane, as reducing it further will not protect him if a physical attacker manages to attack him.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Nabata Tormod up to +10 to ensure he keeps up with fast metagame foes.

Nabata Tormod Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Nabata Tormod Roles

Tormod - Indomitable Will 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

Nabata Tormod 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.

Nabata Tormod Strengths

Nabata Beacon+ grants terrain neutralization, Desperation, and bonus damage

Nabata Tormod's inheritable Red Tome Nabata Beacon+ grants a terrain neutralization effect and 【Desperation】 to himself at the start of each turn.

In combat, Nabata Beacon+ grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and bonus damage equal to 10% of Tormod's Atk during combat.

This weapon isn't as powerful as some exclusive weapons, but it has its niche and can be effective in the right situations.

Nabata Tormod Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

Red Tome Infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Nabata Tormod replaceable by better units.
