If unit's Spd + Res ≥ foe's Spd + Res - 10 (excluding effects from 【Phantom】), unit deals +X damage (excluding when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special) and reduces damage from foe's first attack by X during combat (X - unit's Res at start of combat - 30; min 0, max 10; "first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, foe cannot make a follow-up attack, and increases the Spd difference necessary for foe to make a follow-up attack by 20 during combat (Spd must be ≥ 25 to make a follow-up attack; stacks with similar skills).

Ice Tribe Thea Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) Attack Bane ★★★★☆
Spd (8) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (5) Def Bane ★★☆☆☆
Res (15) No Res IV ★★★★☆

◯ = 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 / -HP

The best IVs for Ice Tribe Thea are +Spd and -HP. Thea's Spd is a superboon and is raised to base 51, making her one of the fastest units in the entire game. She can utilize her high Spd stat to create follow-up attacks and prevent her foe's follow-up attacks.

+Atk is also a great boon as the boost is applied twice through Ice Tribe Thea's 【Triangle Attack】 effect.

Ice Tribe's Thea's defensive stats are all quite important for her combat performance. We recommend taking HP as a bane as it is the easiest stat to patch up through blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ice Tribe Thea up to +10 to ensure she outspeeds her foes.

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

Ice Tribe Thea Strengths

Ilian Frost Blade grants Triangle Attack and Canto to allies

Ice Tribe Thea Attack

Ilian Frost Blade takes a page out of Bridal Catria's playbook and improves upon it by granting both 【Triangle Attack】 and 【Canto (1)】 to herself and nearby allies at the start of each turn, granting them brave attacks and additional mobility at once.

Bridal Catria is a metagame staple, and Ice Tribe Thea powercreeps her by providing additional effects on top of 【Triangle Attack】 while also having a usable Res stat.

In combat, Ilian Frost Blade grants Ice Tribe Thea bonus stats equal to 5 plus 2x the number of times Dragonflowers have been used on Thea (up to a total of Atk/Spd/Def/Res+15), 50% damage reduction piercing, 7 true damage reduction on foe's first attack, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat.

Ilian Frost Blade is a fantastic weapon, buffing up the entire team while also being significant offensively, allowing Ice Tribe Thea to burst down her foes.

Ice Tribe Thea Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

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