Mozu Skills at 5★

Forager Naginata Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, grants an additional Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit (X = number of allies within 3 spaces of unit x 3, + 1; max 10; if any space within 2 spaces of unit has a Divine Vein effect applied or counts as difficult terrain, excluding impassable terrain, value is treated as 10), and reduces damage from foe's first attacks by X during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, when unit deals damage to foe during combat, restores X HP to unit (triggers even if 0 damage is dealt).

Bonfire Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts damage dealt by 50% of unit’s Def.

Bonus Doubler 4 If 【Bonus】 is active on unit or an ally within 2 spaces of unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X = 4 + highest bonus on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; calculates each stat bonus independently).

Mozu Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (14)		★★★★★
Spd (7)		★★★★★
Def (6)		★★★★☆
Res (3)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Mozu are +Spd and -Res. Boosting Spd improves her already high Spd stat and allows her to create follow-up attacks against slower foes while preventing follow-up attacks from faster foes.

Mozu's Res is her least important stat and she will be reliant on her damage reduction effect to withstand attacks against heavy magic nukers. Thus, Res can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Mozu up to +10 for similar reasons above. Spd is Mozu's most important stat and should be boosted as much as possible.

Omnitank Mozu

HOT
： Forager Naginata ： Reposition ： Godlike Reflexes ： Emblem Ike	： D Bonus Doubler ： A/S Bulwark 4 ： Atk/Spd Oath 4 ： Bonus Doubler 3 ： Guard Echo

How to Use, Explanation

This build aims at making Mozu a bulky omnitank unit. D Bonus Doubler provides a Distant Counter effect while granting bonus stats at the same time. Emblem Ike and Godlike Reflexes reduce damage while A/S Bulwark's healing sustains Mozu's HP for multiple engagements.

General Use / Budget Mozu

： Forager Naginata ： Reposition ： Bonfire ： -

： Bonus Doubler 4 ： A/S Bulwark 4 ： Atk/Spd Oath 4 ： Distant Counter (M) ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Mozu's base kit also allows her to fulfill an omnitank role. Distant Counter (M) allows Mozu to retaliate against ranged foes; you can replace this with Bonus Doubler 3 if this is unnecessary.

Mozu Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Mozu Roles

Mozu - Tragic Start 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

Mozu 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.

Mozu Strengths

Forager Naginata grants Special charges and true damage reduction

Mozu's exclusive weapon Forager Naginata grants Def/Res+6 and bonus Special cooldown charges per attack to herself and her nearby allies at the start of each turn.

In combat, Forager Naginata grants Mozu Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and additional Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X bonus based on number of allies within 3 spaces (X = 3 for each ally, +1, up to a max of +10), or, if any space within Mozu has either a Divine Vein effect or a forest tile, X is automatically 10.

More importantly, Forager Naginata grants Mozu true damage reduction equal to X on her foe's first attack and restores X HP for each of Mozu's attacks.

The true damage reduction effect is not hindered by effects that reduce percentage-based damage reduction, making Mozu a deceptively bulky unit. Together with the sustain from her attacks, Mozu can withstand several attacks each turn. Make sure Mozu is near forests or Divine Vein tiles to maximize Forager Naginata's effects!

Mozu Weaknesses

Reliance on nearby allies or terrain

Forager Naginata maximizes its effects depending on the terrain or number of allies near Mozu.

In an open area with no forests or no nearby allies, Forager Naginata has a reduced impact in battle, which can lead to Mozu's defeat.

Position Mozu correctly to ensure she wins in combat!
