What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Weapon skill grants Canto, deals pre-combat damage based on foe's Atk, grants Atk/Def/Res bonuses to unit and cuts foe's non-Special damage reduction in half. ・Exclusive A skill grants Atk/Def/Res bonuses to unit, denies foe's counterattacks, and inflicts status that ends action of nearby foe at the start of their next turn. ・Duo Skill inflicts status that ends action of foes in cardinal directions at the start of their next turn. |
Might: 14 Range: 2 Enables 【Canto (1)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, deals damage to foe = X% of foe's Atk as combat begins (if unit has weapon-triangle advantage or if unit's Res > foe's Res, X = 40; otherwise, X = 20; activates only when unit can attack in combat; effects that reduce damage "during combat" do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1), grants Atk/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Def/Res during combat = 20% of unit's Res at start of combat, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts damage dealt by 50% of unit’s Res. |
If unit initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Def/Res+9 to unit during combat, and if unit's Res > foe's Res, foe cannot counterattack. If unit initiates combat, after combat, inflicts the following status on foes with the highest Spd within 3 spaces of target foe (excluding target) through their next actions: "after start-of-turn skills trigger, action ends immediately" (for foes who have not yet taken an action in Summoner Duels, instead of inflicting this effect, ends their action immediately). |
If unit initiates combat, deals 7 damage to foe as combat begins (effects that reduce damage during combat do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1), inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe during combat, and deals damage = 20% of foe's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
At start of turn, if number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 2, grants Atk/Res+6 and 【Incited】 to unit for 1 turn. If number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, grants Atk/Res+3 to unit during combat. 【Incited】 If unit initiates combat, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of spaces from start position to end position of unit during combat (max 3; that turn only). |
Duo Skill |
---|
Inflicts the following status on foes in cardinal directions of unit through their next actions: "after start-of-turn skills trigger, action ends immediately" (for foes who have not yet taken an action in Summoner Duels, instead of inflicting this effect, ends their action immediately). (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.) |
Duel |
---|
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 205, treats unit's stats as 205 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.) |
Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (17) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Atk (8) | ★★★★★ | |
Spd (3) | ★☆☆☆☆ | |
Def (4) | ★★☆☆☆ | |
Res (16) | ★★★★★ |
◯ = 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.
The best IVs for Valentine's Lyon are +Res and -Spd. Res is a superboon and boosts Lyon's base Res up to base 50, improving his capacity to win the Res checks of both Tender Vessel and Gray Illusion.
Spd is Lyon's best bane, as Lyon's Spd is abysmal at only base 16 which is among the lowest in the entire game. Lyon will not be able to outspeed his foes no matter how much you invest into him, and is better off focusing on improving his nuking power to defeat his foes in one hit or simply rendering them useless by ending their turns.
We recommend +Res when merging Valentine's Lyon up to +10 to maximize the chances of Lyon winning his Res checks.

Valentine's Lyon's base kit already excels as an offensive magic attacker with high Res. Atk/Res Catch synergizes well with his kit after debuffs are applied.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Valentine's Lyon 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.
Valentine's Lyon comes with an exclusive weapon in Tender Vessel. This green tome grants 【Canto (1)】 and deals unmitigated pre-combat damage based on his foe's Atk stat and whether Lyon wins a Res check or has weapon-triangle advantage against his foe. The pre-combat damage cannot be reduced and is a fantastic way of wearing down his foes before his high Atk stat finishes them off.
Tender Vessel also grants Lyon Atk/Def/Res+5 and bonus Atk/Def/Res equal to 20% of his Res at start of combat, and also cuts the effectiveness of his foe's non-Special damage reduction skills in half.
Combining the pre-combat damage effect with Lyon's offenses almost always ensures that his foes will fall in one attack.
Valentine's Lyon's main power comes from his exclusive A skill Gray Illusion. This skill grants Lyon Atk/Def/Res+9 during combat and prevents his foes from counterattacking him if he wins a Res check.
More importantly, if Lyon initiates combat, Gray Illusion inflicts a status effect on the foe with the highest Spd within 3 spaces which ends their next turn immediately at the start of the next turn. This skill is basically Fomortiis's Nightmare but on offense, and can be leveraged easily by attacking in way where the end turn effect is triggered on the most threatening enemy.
This is a very unique effect that can be incredibly oppressive if used correctly. Enemies cannot threaten your units if they can't act in the first place.
Valentine's Lyon takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
