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.

+Def / -Spd

The best IVs for Young Lissa are +Def and -Spd. Boosting Def improves Lissa's physical bulk and enhances the effects of New War Axe. +Res is also an option as it is a superboon and allows Lissa to withstand damage from both physical and magical attackers.

Lissa's Spd is beyong salvageable at only base 17 and no amount of investment will allow her to outspeed her foes or even prevent follow-up attacks. It is better to rely on her amazing bulk instead of trying to improve an otherwise useless stat.

+Def for a +10 merge

We recommend +Def when merging Young Lissa up to +10 as it has the best benefits by enhancing both bulk and either sustain or damage.

Young Lissa Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Young Lissa Roles

Lissa - Littlest Princess 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

Young Lissa is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Young Lissa Strengths

New War Axe has built-in Tempo and can provide either damage or sustain

Young Lissa's New War Axe grants bonus Atk/Def/Res to Lissa based on 25% of her foe's Atk stat, -4 (min 5, max 14), grants her a Tempo effect, cuts the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 on Lissa in half, and grants her 80% damage reduction against follow-up attacks.

Additionally, New War Axe has a variable effect depending on the Special skill Lissa has equipped.

If Lissa has an offensive Special skill equipped, New War Axe deals bonus damage based on a percentage of her Def stat, where the percentage is dependent on Lissa's maximum Special cooldown count value.

If Lissa has a defensive Special equipped, New War Axe instead heals her for a percentage of her Def stat, where the percentage is dependent on Lissa's maximum Special cooldown count value.

This effect can be tailored to your team's needs, whether you need Lissa to focus solely on tanking or whether you need her to knock out enemies on the return hit.

Young Lissa Weaknesses

Abysmal Spd

Young Lissa's Spd is beyond salvageable at only base 17. She will be receiving follow-up attacks from her foes almost every combat.

While New War Axe has a damage reduction effect against follow-up attacks, it is a non-Special damage reduction effect, and plenty of metagame units have effects that pierce through this type of damage reduction.
