Bridal Larcei Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (9) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (11) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (9) Res Bane ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 / -HP

The best IVs for Bridal Larcei are +Spd and -HP. Spd is Larcei's most important stat, increased to base 52 with a superboon, allowing her to outspeed a majority of her foes and increase her damage output with both Brilliant Brident and Crusader's Astra reliant on Spd.

All of Larcei's defensive stats are equally important. We opted for -HP as the preferred bane as it is the easiest to patch up with blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Bridal Larcei up to +10 for similar reasons above.

Updated on 05/16/2025

How to Use, Explanation

Bridal Larcei's base kit already functions well as an Omnitank unit. The Distant Counter (M) Sacred Seal allows her to retaliate against ranged foes while the optional Emblem Eirika ring ensures she can land 5 attacks on her foes on Larcei's first combat on each phase.

Bridal Larcei is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Bridal Larcei Strengths

Brilliant Brident cripples foes and improves Larcei's combat

Bridal Larcei Attack

Bridal Larcei's exclusive weapon Brilliant Brident inflicts Spd/Def-7, 【Exposure】, and 【Discord】 on closest foes and any foes within 2 spaces of those foes, providing easy to apply debuffs at the start of each turn.

In combat, Brilliant Brident grants Larcei up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 (based on number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns), bonus true damage, true damage reduction on foe's first attack, and true damage reduction on foe's Specials equal to 20% of her Spd, and also improves 【Potent Follow X%】 to always apply 100% damage.

While Brilliant Brident itself doesn't have a 【Potent Follow X%】 effect, Bridal Larcei comes with Potent Finish on her base kit, allowing her to create Potent Follow-Up attacks without the need for investment.

Crusader's Astra is always pre-charged and disables foe's Defensive Specials

Bridal Larcei's exclusive Special skill Crusader's Astra has a low cooldown of 1 after Brilliant Brident's slaying effect and has a built-in piercing effect, neutralizing her foe's percentage-based damage reduction effects.

More importantly, Crusader's Astra grants Special cooldown count-1 to Bridal Larcei before her first attack and before each of her follow-up attacks (including Potent Follow-Up attacks). With Crusader's Astra's 1 cooldown, this effect essentially pre-charges Crusader's Astra, allowing Larcei to trigger it for each of her attacks.

Brave attacks do not count. If Bridal Larcei has an attack twice effect, the cooldown reduction effect triggers on the 1st and 3rd attacks, and the 5th attack if Larcei triggers a Potent Follow-Up attack.

Crusader's Astra also disables her foe's Defensive Specials (such as Pavise) if Crusader's Astra is triggered during a follow-up attack. This effect is what can bust through sturdy tanks, especially Shield Fighter armors which run rampant in today's metagame.

Finally, Crusader's Astra also grants Bridal Larcei 40% damage reduction once per combat if her or her foe has their Special ready or triggered before or during combat. This condition is very easy to activate with the cooldown reduction effect above, making it a reliable source of damage reduction.

Bridal Larcei Weaknesses

Saturation

Bridal Larcei is another high Spd Lance Infantry unit, facing competition from similar units such as Attuned Caeda and Attuned Timerra.

She has her own niche which makes her stand out compared to other similar units, giving her a purpose to use over other high Spd Infantry units.
