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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Jarod will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Jarod are +Spd and -Res. Lacking an exclusive weapon of his own, Jarod needs every edge he can obtain, and boosting Spd allows him to keep up with the fastest metagame units.

Jarod's Res is his least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Jarod up to +10 to maximize the chances of his foes being unable to create follow-up attacks against him.

Jarod Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Jarod Roles

Jarod - Nevassa General 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

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

Jarod Strengths

Null Spear+ has a Null Follow-Up effect and deals bonus damage

Jarod's inheritable Null Spear+ grants him Atk/Spd+5, a Null Follow-Up effect, and +5 bonus damage per attack during combat.

While not as impressive as exclusive or Arcane weapons, Null Spear+ provides enough offensive benefits to be worth using on a budget compared to other inheritable weapons.

Jarod Weaknesses

Saturation

Jarod is yet another speedy lance infantry unit in a game filled with similar units.

It may be difficult to find room on your team for Jarod while ensuring that the team has ample coverage for a wide variety of foes.

Lack of Unique Skills

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

Lance infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Jarod replaceable by better units.
