Kyle Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (8)		★★★★★
Spd (9)		★★★☆☆
Def (12)		★★★★★
Res (4)		★☆☆☆☆

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

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 Kyle are +Atk and -Res. Lacking an exclusive weapon to call his own, Kyle needs every point of Atk he can muster up to be competitive with other heroes.

Kyle's Res is a clear dump stat at only base 21 and is a safe bane to take as it won't change any of his matchups.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Kyle up to +10 to ensure he can mount a decent offensive against enemies with invested Def stats.

Kyle Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Kyle Roles

Kyle - Zealous Knight 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

Kyle 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.

Kyle Strengths

Pursual Lance+ grants Atk/Def bonuses and a guaranteed follow-up attack

Kyle's inheritable Pursual Lance+ grants him Atk/Def+5 and a guaranteed follow-up attack in combat.

While quite underwhelming compared to other exclusive or Arcane weapons, Pursual Lance+ granting a guaranteed follow-up attack isn't a commonly found effect and works well with Kyle's average Spd.

High Atk/Def stats

Kyle's Atk and Def stats are very high sitting at base 47 and 45 respectively.

Given significant investment, Kyle can keep up with other units with exclusive skills, maximizing his statline to perform his role as a physical bruiser unit efficiently.

Kyle Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Kyle 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!
