Jehanna Ike Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★
Spd (8)		★★★★★
Def (12)		★★☆☆☆
Res (6)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Jehanna Ike are +Spd and -Res. Ike's Spd is elite at base 47, raised to base 51 with a superboon. Boosting it ensures that his foes cannot land follow-up attacks on him while also creating his own follow-up attacks against slower foes.

Ike's Res is his least important stat at only base 28 and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Jehanna Ike up to +10 to ensure he wins the Spd check against his foes.

Jehanna Ike Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Jehanna Ike Roles

Ike - Desert Mercenary 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

Jehanna Ike 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.

Jehanna Ike Strengths

Swirling Lance is a great Omnitank weapon

Jehanna Ike's exclusive weapon Swirling Lance has multiple effects that provide value both for himself and his allies.

At the start of each phase, Swirling Lance grants Ike and his allies Spd/Def+6, 【Null Panic】, and a status that modifies the Spd check for follow-up attacks by requiring foes to have +15 Spd difference in order to generate a follow-up attack.

In combat, Swirling Lance grants Ike bonus stats up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Spd, and 50% damage reduction piercing.

While the in-combat effects are quite standard for modern weapons, the bonuses granted at each phase are valuable enough to be worth using above other Lance Infantry units.

Aether's Path has great sustain and has built-in effects

Jehanna Ike's exclusive Special Aether's Path differs from other Aether variants by boosting damage by 75% of either the foe's Spd of Def (whichever is greater) and restoring 50% of Ike's maximum HP instead of restoring HP based on damage dealt. This difference makes it more reliable than the other Aether variants by setting a clear value for the healing effect.

Aether's Path also has built-in Null Guard and Null C-Disrupt, reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 by 50%, and reduces incoming damage by up to 50% based on current Special cooldown value.

Jehanna Ike Weaknesses

Saturation

Jehanna Ike joins a group of fast Omnitank units such as Attuned Timerra, Attuned Caeda, and Attuned Eirika, and finding a spot for him on your teams is quite difficult due to the similar roles these heroes have with him.

The heroes mentioned here are also Attuned heroes, which makes them more valuable as they won't disappear from the player's barracks upon using them as inheritance fodder. They fulfill roles both in teambuilding and in battle.

Jehanna Ike does have effects that make him stand out compared to these heroes, and he is still a strong unit even right out of the box.
