Ivy Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit is on a team with unit's support partner, unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any support partner within 3 spaces of unit. If unit is not on a team with their support partner, at start of turn, unit can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack). If unit initiates combat or foe's Range = 2, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat - 4; max 14, min 5), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, reduces damage from attacks during combat by percentage = 20 + number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat (max 5) x 10 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and if unit deals damage with follow-up attack, restores 7 HP to unit (triggers even if 0 damage is dealt).

Cooldown Count = 3
Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit during combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, foe cannot make a follow-up attack, and also, when unit performs a follow-up attack, neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% and if decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 25 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers 【Potent Follow X%】 during combat (if unit cannot perform follow-up and attacks twice, X = 80; otherwise, X = 40).
【Potent Follow X%】
Triggers an additional follow-up attack immediately after unit's standard follow-up attack and deals damage = X% of unit's normal attack damage (if unit cannot make a follow-up attack, this effect triggers when the standard follow-up attack would occur; this effect is treated like a follow-up attack, so effects like "reduce damage by X%" still apply, but this effect is not affected by effects that prevent follow-ups or "attacks twice" effects; only highest value applied; does not stack).

Enables 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】. Inflicts Atk/Res-4 on foe during combat and unit deals +7 damage including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat.
【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move spaces = any movement not already used that turn (min 1; if unit used a movement skill that warped them, its remaining movement is 1).

If unit initiates combat, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foe and neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat, and after combat, deals 7 damage to target and foes within 2 spaces of target and applies 【Divine Vein (Haze)】 on target's space and on each space within 2 spaces of target space for 1 turn.
【Divine Vein (Haze)】
Applies the following effects on space: Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foe and neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat. (Divine Vein effects do not stack; replaces any existing Divine Vein effect; Divine Vein effects applied simultaneously cancel each other out.)

Infantry and flying allies within 2 spaces can move to a space within 2 spaces of unit.

Ivy Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (8) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (4) Spd Boon ★★★☆☆
Def (11) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (8) Res Bane ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk / -Def

The best IVs for Ivy are +Atk and -Def. Atk is a superboon and boosts Ivy's already high Atk stat from base 47 to base 51, increasing her nuking potential.

While Ivy's Spd is average at base 34, Spd isn't a big concern especially since Obsession grants a Potent follow-up attack.

Ivy's Def is her least important stat at only base 26 and is a safe bane to take as reducing it will not impact any of her matchups.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Ivy up to +10 to maximize her nuking power and defeat a wider range of enemies in one round of combat.

How to Use, Explanation

Ivy's base kit already functions well in performing an offensive role while retaining mobility for her team. Soaring Echo negates the need for Guidance 4 or Soaring Guidance on her C slot, opening it up for Deadly Miasma or any other skill she wants to equip.

Ivy 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.

Ivy Strengths

Icebound Tome grants mobility and offensive bonuses

Ivy Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Ivy's exclusive blue tome Icebound Tome grants Ivy bonus mobility depending on her allies for the map:

  • If Ivy's support partner is on the team, Icebound Tome allows Ivy to warp to a space within 2 spaces of any support partner within 3 spaces of Ivy.
  • If Ivy's support partner is not on the team, Icebound Tome grants Ivy +1 movement at the start of each turn.

In combat, Icebound Tome grants Ivy Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X, where X is 25% of her foe's Atk -4 (min 5; max 14), neutralizes effects that slow down her Special charges, and grants Ivy percentage damage reduction equal to 20 plus the number of spaces moved by the initiator x 10, with a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 70% damage reduction in total.

Finally, Icebound Tome heals Ivy 7 HP for each of her follow-up attacks, providing a small amount of sustain to keep her healthy.

Obsession grants Potent follow-up among other effects

Ivy's exclusive A skill Obsession grants multiple effects that swing combat in her favor.

To start, Obsession grants Ivy Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 and a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat, and denies her foe's follow-up attack, while also neutralizing her foe's percentage-based non-Special damage reduction effects.

More importantly, Obsession grants Ivy 【Potent Follow X%】 if Ivy meets the modified Spd check.

Even though Ivy's Spd stat is average at only base 34, Obsession's guaranteed and Potent follow-up attacks provide enough offense to remain relevant, while excelling if Ivy outspeeds her foe, allowing her to attack up to three times in one combat.

Ivy Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Ivy 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.

Value of Skills ★★★★★

Ivy has A/R Far Trace 4, Deadly Miasma, and Soaring Echo as valuable inheritance options.

Soaring Echo is an Attuned Skill; it should be the priority skill to inherit from every copy of Ivy you have. It is possible to inherit multiple skills at once with one copy of Ivy, so try to find room to inherit Soaring Echo as well.

As an Attuned hero, Ivy will not disappear from your barracks upon using her as inheritance fodder once.

I really wish i could understand the obsession skill's speed check. This just copied what the game says, but it seems worded so oddly, & i don't understand it. If the opponent's speed is lessened by 25, & Ivy's speed is still 5 higher than theirs, she gets a 3rd attack, is that what it's saying? If nothing else, can you give examples of the types if heroes she usually won't get a 3rd attack against? Is it just heroes with really high speed?
