Ninja Diamant Skills at 5★

Bold Kusarigama Might: 11　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 15% of unit's Def at start of combat + 5, deals damage = 25% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 25% of unit's Def (including from area-of-effect Specials; excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials), neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from unit's and foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials), neutralizes effects that guarantee unit's and foe's follow-up attacks, and increases the Spd difference necessary for unit or 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). If unit initiates combat, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat.

Boulder Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Special damage by 50% of unit's Def when Special triggers. If unit's or foe's Special is ready, or unit's or foe's Special triggered before or during this combat, and also, if unit's Def ≥ foe's Def-4 during combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Atk/Def Finish 4 If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def+7 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Special is ready or unit's Special triggered before or during this combat, deals +5 damage during combat (except when dealing damage with area-of-effect Specials) and when unit deals damage during combat, restores 7 HP to unit. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

A/D Spiked Wall Foes with Range = 1 cannot move through spaces adjacent to unit (does not affect foes with Pass skills). Foes with Range = 2 cannot move through spaces within 2 spaces of unit (does not affect foes with Pass skills). Inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foe, deals damage = 15% of the greater of unit's Def or Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat.

Endless Tempest At start of turn, unit can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack). If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat (max 3) and neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Ninja Diamant Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (12)		★★★☆☆
Def (15)		★★★★★
Res (3)		★★☆☆☆

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

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.

+Def / -Res

The best IVs for Ninja Diamant are +Def and -Res. Boosting Def improves the checks on DIamant's Bold Kusarigama, allowing him to both deal more damage and receive less damage in combat.

Ninja Diamant's Res is his least important stat at only base 25 and can be safely taken as a bane. As a frontline melee unit, Diamant is expected to enter combat against melee foes, making his Def the key stat to improve and Res a less important stat to focus on.

+Def for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Def IV when merging Ninja Diamant up to +10 to maximize the effects of Bold Kusarigama.

Ninja Diamant 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.

Ninja Diamant Strengths

Bold Kusarigama heavily swings combat

Ninja Diamant's Bold Kusarigama has a built-in Brave effect and grants him bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res equal to 5 plus 15% of his Def, bonus true damage equal to 25% of his Def, true damage reduction equal to 25% of his Def, and a Null Follow-Up effect.

Bold Kusarigama also neutralizes non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects for both Ninja Diamant and his foe, and increases the Spd threshold for follow-up attacks by 20, now requiring Spd ≥ 25 to make a follow-up attack in combat.

These effects make Ninja Diamant a formidable frontline unit, walling off enemies and making it difficult for them to bring him down.

Bold Kusarigama also grants Ninja Diamant Special cooldown count -1 before his first attack if he initiates combat, providing that small boost to help him trigger his Special faster.

Ninja Diamant Weaknesses

Low Res

Ninja Diamant's Res is quite low at only base 25, making him reliant on Bold Kusarigama's defensive effects to survive against magic damage.

Have Ninja Diamant focus on enemies that deal physical damage and only have him enter combat against magical foes if necessary.
