Uther Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★★★
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (6)		★☆☆☆☆
Def (16)		★★★★★
Res (13)		★★★★☆

◯ = 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.

+Def / -Spd

The best IVs for Uther are +Def and -Spd. Uther's Def is quite high at base 46, raised to 50 with a superboon. Boosting Def helps Uther perform better as a physical tank.

+Res is also an option if opting for a Far Save build. Uther's Res is at base 43, raised to 47 with a superboon, which is respectable and enough to soak some magic attacks.

Uther's Spd is a clear dump stat and should be taken as a bane.

+Def or +Res for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Def or +Res IV when merging Uther up to +10 depending on his role on your team.

Uther Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Uther Roles

Uther - Frugal Militarist 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

Uther 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.

Uther Strengths

Min-maxed statline

Uther's base stats are all very high on key stats, sitting at base 47 HP, 46 Def, and 43 Res for his bulk, and base 48 for his Atk. With this kind of statline, Uther is flexible and can be built depending on your team's needs.

He is geared towards optimal tanking while also having high Atk for return damage on his counterattacks.

Pursual Axe+ grants a guaranteed follow-up attack

Uther's inheritable Pursual Axe+ grants him Atk/Def+5 and a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat.

While not exciting, it can get the job done for budget builds.

Uther Weaknesses

Requires heavy investment

While Uther's base stats are all focused on key areas and are quite impressive, his base kit is lackluster.

He will require significant investment for all skill slots to become relevant in today's metagame.

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Uther takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Randgríðr, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
