Summer Petra Skills at 5★

Breaker Bow Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against beast and flying foes. Enables 【Canto (1)】. Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any ally within 2 spaces. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.), grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, and grants Atk/Spd+X x 6 to unit during combat (X = the number of allies with Atk ≥ 55 within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit + the number of allies with Spd ≥ 40 in the same area; max 3), and also, if unit's attack can trigger unit's Special, grants Special cooldown count-A to unit before unit's first attack and grants Special cooldown count-B to unit before unit's first follow-up attack during combat (A = X + 1; max = unit's Special cooldown count value at start of combat; B = X + 1-unit's Special cooldown count value at start of combat; min 0).

Deadeye Cooldown Count = 3 Doubles damage dealt. Disables non-Special skills that "reduce damage by X%."

Desperation 4 Inflicts Spd-4 on foe during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99% and unit initiates combat, or number of spaces from unit's start position to end position ≥ 2 and unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack.

Spd/Def Crux Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, and those foes suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks during combat.

Summer Petra Best IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★

◯ = 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 Summer Petra are +Spd and -Res. Summer Petra has a superboon in Spd, allowing her to stack more points in this stat if chosen as a boon.

She is defensively fragile, so keeping Res as her lowest stat and as her bane will not affect her much in her role as an offensive bow flier.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd for Summer Petra when merging to +10. She is one of the speediest bow fliers in the game, and maximizing this stat further can help her perform more follow-up attacks in combat.

How to Use, Explanation

Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Summer Petra Strengths

Breaker Bow Allows Summer Petra to Warp Two Spaces from Allies

Summer Petra can warp two spaces from any nearby allies, allowing her to hit enemies she normally couldn't reach thanks to her Breaker Bow. Her weapon also helps her trigger Deadeye, bypassing any damage reduction checks and attacking with full force.

Summer Petra is among the very few ranged units that can warp up to two spaces from nearby allies, with a good comparison being Rearmed Tana.

As a flying unit, Summer Petra can also equip Guidance 4 or Soaring Guidance on her C slot to greatly extend the mobility of her allies by using her own warping ability to position herself optimally for her allies to utilize Guidance 4 or Soaring Guidance and attack otherwise unreachable enemies.

Summer Petra Weaknesses

As a flying unit, Summer Petra takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep her out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

Summer Petra as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Summer Petra has Deadeye, Desperation 4, and Spd/Def Crux as good inheritance options as a source hero. Being the only unit with Spd/Def Crux at her release, you may want to save her if you don't have any merge projects that need the skill.

Otherwise, if you're willing to let it go, you can pass Desperation 4 and Deadeye to any of your speedy bow projects!
