Might: 14 Range: 2 Grants Res+3. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Spd/Res+6 and 【Hexblade】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn, and also, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res less than unit's Res+5, inflicts Atk/Spd-7, 【Guard】, and 【Exposure】 on those foes through their next actions. If foe initiates combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd during combat = 6 + 20% of unit's Res at start of combat, and also, if unit's HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP (once per combat; does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce HP to 0). |
|
Range: 1 Grants another action to target ally. (That turn only. Does not stack. Cannot target an ally with Sing or Dance. This skill treated as Sing or Dance). |
|
If Sing or Dance is used, inflicts Atk/Res-7 and 【Sabotage】 on foes in cardinal directions of unit and target through their next actions. |
|
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants 【Null Follow-Up】 and the following status to unit for 1 turn: "Unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces." At start of turn, grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to infantry allies within 2 spaces of unit. |

◯ = 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.
+Res / -Atk
The best IVs for Elffin are +Res and -Atk. Elffin's Res is among the highest in the game and is the basis for the penalties inflicted by Light of Etruria onto his foes. Boosting his Res improves his Res checks and allows him to more reliably support his team.
Elffin's Atk is nowhere near useful and is a safe bane to take as he will not be dealing significant damage to his foes either way.
+Spd for a +10 merge
We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Elffin up to +10. At maximum merges, Elffin's Res should be sufficient to win Res checks against all foes, thus we opt for Spd to prevent follow-up attacks from the fastest metagame foes.

Elffin Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Elffin Roles
Elffin is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.
Elffin Strengths
Light of Etruria is a great support weapon
Elffin's Light of Etruria is a pure support weapon, providing bonuses to himself and his allies while inflicting various penalties onto his foes.
At the start of each phase, Light of Etruria grants Spd/Res+6 and 【Hexblade】 to Elffin and nearby allies, and inflicts Atk/Spd-7, 【Guard】, and 【Exposure】 onto foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Elffin upon winning a Res check.
In combat, Light of Etruria inflicts an Atk/Spd penalty onto Elffin's foe equal to 6 + 20% of Elffin's Res, and has a built-in Miracle effect, allowing Elffin to survive lethal damage once per combat.
With Light of Etruria and Elffin's min-maxed statline, Elffin becomes a good support unit for his team.
Elffin Weaknesses
Very Low Atk
Elffin's base 20 Atk is outright abysmal, tied for the lowest in the entire game with Merlinus, and will render him unable to deal significant damage to anyone.
Keep him in the backline and have him focus on support to maximize his skillset.
