Chulainn Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (11) No Attack IV ★★★★★
Spd (11) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (10) Def Boon ★★★☆☆
Res (6) 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Chulainn will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Chulainn are +Spd and -Res. Chulainn's Spd is quite high for a free unit at base 46, and boosting it can prevent his foes from generating follow-up attacks against him.

+Def for a bulky build is also good, as with his base 40 Def (raised to base 44 with a superboon), he can soak up physical attacks quite well.

Chulainn's Res is a clear dump stat at only base 21 and can be safely taken as a bane without altering any of his matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Chulainn up to +10 to protect him from receiving follow-up attacks against fast metagame foes.

Chulainn 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.

Chulainn Strengths

High Spd and Def for a F2P unit

Chulainn's base 46 Spd and base 40 Def are quite high for a free unit, making him a flexible unit that can be built for specific situations.

A high Spd build is possible just like every other high Spd Sword Infantry unit in the game, but Chulainn can also opt for a high Def build with his base 44 (after a superboon) Def.

Build your Chulainn based on your team's needs.

Campaign Blade+ creates a large stat swing

Chulainn's inheritable Campaign Blade+ grants him Atk/Def+5 during combat, inflicts up to Atk/Def-10 onto his foe, and grants him 10 HP post-combat healing.

While not as exciting as Arcane or exclusive weapons, it gets the job done by granting Chulainn physical stats and healing to keep him healthy throughout multiple combats.

This is a good inheritable weapon based on Chulainn's statline, giving him the bulk and sustain he needs to soak physical attacks.

Chulainn Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Low Res

Chulainn's base 21 Res leaves him incredibly weak to magic damage and adaptive damage from heroes like Brave Felix.

Keep him away from foes that attack his Res stat to ensure his survival.

Chulainn as a Source Hero

Chulainn Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★☆☆

Chulainn has Campaign Blade+, Wind Boost 3, and Spd/Def Bulwark 3 as inheritable options.

Spd/Def Bulwark 3 is a good tier 3 skill and can be either given over to other budget build units or used as bridge fodder in case S/D Spiked Wall gets released.

Wow, they went from great/good free heroes (Marni, eikthynir, vaida, etc) to garbage very quickly. It seems fallen Lloyd would still be the better option for an infantry sword unit for arena, because his BST is close (193 vs 198 IIRC), but Lloyd has a prf weapon (which not only scores higher, but is very useful in battles). It sucks, cuz i was starting to get excited abt building new free units (I've been very patient, starting about 1 year ago, so i don't waste fodder on units w lower BST).
