Caspar Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (20)		★★★★☆
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (14)		★★★★☆
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
Res (6)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Caspar are +Spd and -Res. Caspar's base 44 Spd, raised to base 48 with a superboon, is enough to prevent follow-up attacks from the fastest metagame foes despite not being among the highest in the game. Modern day units with base 48 Spd (51-52 with superboons) barely miss the threshold for follow-up attacks if given equal investment, which discreetly improves Caspar's survivability due to only receiving one attack instead of two.

+Atk can also be considered if you prefer to give up on competing with the fastest metagame foes and instead rely on his natural Spd without investment to outspeed all foes in middling Spd tiers.

Caspar's Res is his least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV for Caspar to prevent follow-up attacks from fast metagame foes.

How to Use, Explanation

Caspar Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Caspar Roles

Caspar - Hotheaded Inciter 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

Caspar 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.

Caspar Strengths

Easily mergeable unit with very high Atk

Caspar is directly added to the summoning pool as a 3-4★ demoted unit, making him an easily mergeable unit over time.

His base 48 Atk, raised to 52 with a superboon and 57 after merges and dragonflowers, can deal significant damage to his foes, even with Caspar's lack of an exclusive weapon.

Additionally, his base 44 Spd, 48 with a superboon, is also enough to prevent follow-up attacks from the fastest metagame foes (given equal investment) while outspeeding all the units in the middling Spd tiers.

Up-Front Axe+ boosts Atk and Spd

Caspar's inheritable Up-Front Axe+ grants him Atk/Spd+5 in combat and neutralizes penalties to his Atk and Spd.

This is a good budget weapon that fits Caspar's role. However, it isn't enough to compete with highly invested units.

Caspar will need Arcane Þrima or Arcane Downfall to compete with these units

Caspar Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

Axe Infantry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes Caspar replaceable by better units.

Caspar as a Source Hero

Caspar comes with Up-Front Axe+, Spd/Def Finish 3, and Brash Assault 3 as inheritable options.

He is great bridge fodder for the rare Spd/Def Finish 4. However, outside of this, he isn't great for Skill Inheritance. We recommend merging your Caspar copies instead.
