Dual Sword Might: 8　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice). Inflicts penalty on Atk/Spd/Def/Res for foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit during combat = 4 + number of combat instances on current turn x 4 (max 12; includes combat instances unit does not participate in; battles on player phase and on enemy phase are counted separately; does not include this current combat instance).

Effect: 【Dagger 7】

Ruptured Sky Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts damage by 20% of foe's Atk. If in combat against a dragon foe or beast foe, boosts damage by 40% instead of 20%.

(Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

Shadow Slide Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any ally that has entered combat during the current turn. Unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any ally within 2 spaces.

If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).

Pulse Smog Inflicts Spd/Def-3 on foe and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). After combat, inflicts Atk-7 and 【Guard】 on target and foes within 3 spaces of target through their next actions and inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on those foes (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown). If unit initiates combat and foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown).

Legendary Shez (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★
Spd (8)		★★★★★
Def (10)		★★★☆☆
Res (5)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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 Legendary Shez (M) are +Spd and -Res. Legendary Shez (M) has one of the best Spd stats in the game at base 47, raised to base 51 with a superboon. He can take advantage of his high Spd to quad attack his foes, while also increasing his damage output with Shadow Slide's bonus true damage effect.

+Atk is also a great IV to frontload his damage output, maximizing the chances of him defeating his foe immediately after his first brave attack.

Legendary Shez (M)'s defensive stats aren't too bad, but shouldn't be a priority to increase. We recommend taking Res as a bane as it is his least important stat.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Legendary Shez (M) up to +10 to ensure he outspeeds his foes.

Legendary Shez (M) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Shez (M) Roles

Shez: Dual Sword Master 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

Legendary Shez (M) is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Legendary Shez (M) Strengths

Dual Sword attacks twice and inflicts scaling penalties

Legendary Shez (M) comes with his exclusive Dual Sword which attacks twice, grants up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, grants 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack, and grants a Tempo effect during combat.

Dual Sword also passively inflicts an Atk/Spd/Def/Res penalty for all foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit equal to 4 plus 4x the number of combat instances on the current turn, up to a maximum of Atk/Spd/Def/Res-12. This penalty is applied even if Legendary Shez (M) himself isn't involved in combat, allowing him to aid his allies during their combat by debuffing their foes passively.

Shadow Slide grants multiple sources of warping

Legendary Shez (M) also comes with his own exclusive B skill, Shadow Slide. This skill allows Shez to warp to any space within 2 spaces of allies within 2 spaces and allies that have already entered combat during the current turn regardless of distance. Additionally, if an ally has already entered combat during the current turn, Shadow Slide grants Shez a Pass effect.

On a properly built team, Shadow Slide allows Legendary Shez (M) to immediately go on the offensive, warping directly to his enemies immediately after the initiator unit on his team enters combat. With Dual Sword's brave effect, Legendary Shez (M) can launch a surprise attack against unsuspecting foes and defeat them foe in combat.

Shadow Slide also inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on Legendary Shez (M)'s foe during combat and grants him bonus true damage equal to 20% of his Spd, 50% damage reduction piercing on his foe's non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects, and 7 true damage reduction on his foe's first attack. These effects soften up his foes during combat while also improving his survivability.

Legendary Shez (M) Weaknesses

Average Bulk

Legendary Shez (M) has average bulk as most of his stats are allocated towards Atk and Spd. He will be heavily reliant on defeating his foes during his first attack with Dual Sword.

Many metagame units have ways to pierce through non-Special damage reduction, rendering Dual Sword's damage reduction on first attack not as effective as it normally would be. Legendary Shez (M) will need to depend on his natural bulk and Shadow Slide's true damage reduction on foe's first attack to survive combat.
