Summer Hríd Skills at 5★

Prince's Lance Might: 16　 Range: 1 Enables 【Canto (2)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat - 4 (min 5; max 14), inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2 (example: if foe has +7 bonus to Atk, inflicts Atk-14, for a net penalty of Atk-7; calculates each stat penalty independently), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 40% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if unit deals damage to foe using a Special during combat, restores a percentage of unit's max HP = 10 + unit's max Special cooldown count value × 20 (max 100%; triggers even if 0 damage is dealt).

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

Ice Prince's Seal At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Spd/Def-7, 【Frozen】, and 【Guard】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, deals damage = 20% of unit's Def, and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). 【Frozen】 Reduces inflicted unit's follow-up ability and increases foe's follow-up ability through unit's next action: Increases Spd difference necessary for unit to make a follow-up attack by X and decreases Spd difference necessary for foe to make a follow-up Atk by X during combat (if foe's Def > unit's Def, X = 10 + difference between Def stats × 2; otherwise, X = 10). (For example, if Spd difference necessary increases by 10, Spd must be ≥ 15 more than foe's Spd to make a follow-up attack; stacks with similar skills.)

Odd Def Wave 4 At start of turn, grants Def+6 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit's Def ≥ foe's Def-5, neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. If it is an odd-numbered turn, grants Def+6 to unit during combat.

Summer Hríd Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (8)		★★★★★

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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 / -Res

The best IVs for Summer Hríd are +Atk and -Res. Atk is a superboon and boosts Summer Hríd's Atk from base 47 to base 51, increasing his damage output which can potentially allow him to defeat his foes in one round of combat.

Summer Hríd's Res is his least important stat at only base 24, and lowering it will not impact most of his matchups. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Summer Hríd up to +10 to maximize the chances of him knocking out his foes in one attack.

Summer Hríd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Hríd Roles

Hríd - Island Ice Prince 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

Summer Hríd 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.

Summer Hríd Strengths

Prince's Lance provides multiple defensive effects

Summer Hríd's exclusive weapon Prince's Lance grants multiple effects that enhance his survival against most foes.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Grants Summer Hríd 【Canto (2)】.
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Summer Hríd initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Grants bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res to Summer Hríd equal to 25% of foe's Atk (min 5, max 14)
Summer Hríd initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res penalties on Summer Hríd's foe during combat equal to current bonus on each of foe's stats x2.
Summer Hríd initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Grants Summer Hríd 40% damage reduction against all of his foe's attacks.
Summer Hríd initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally Summer Hríd deals damage to his foe using his Special	Restores a percentage of Summer Hríd's max HP equal to Summer Hríd's max Special cooldown count value x 20, +10 (max 100%).

These effects all improve survivability, allowing Summer Hríd to become an impressive tank unit with both bulk and sustain.

Ice Prince's Seal inflicts Frozen and swings combat positively

Summer Hríd's exclusive B skill Ice Prince's Seal inflicts Spd/Def-7, 【Frozen】, and 【Guard】 on the closest foe to Summer Hríd and all foes within 2 spaces of those foes at the start of each turn.

【Frozen】 is a new status effect that changes the Spd difference formula for follow-up attacks. It increases Spd difference necessary for the affected unit to make a follow-up attack by X and decreases the Spd difference necessary for the affected unit's foe to make a follow-up attack by X. X is calculated as follows:

• If foe's Def > unit's Def, X = 10 + difference between Def stats × 2
• Otherwise, X =10.

Ice Prince's Seal also inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on Summer Hríd's foe during combat, grants Summer Hríd a guaranteed follow-up attack and bonus true damage equal to 20% of his Def, and also grants Summer Hríd damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

This skill improves Summer Hríd's combat potential and also aids his allies through the 【Frozen】 debuff impacting the foe's Spd check for follow-up attacks.

Summer Hríd Weaknesses

Low Res

Summer Hríd has a low base Res of only base 24, leaving him vulnerable to magic damage.

He will be reliant on his damage reduction effects to survive heavy nukes. Keep him away from heavy magic damage attackers to ensure his survival.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Hríd 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!
