Summer Celica Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = 20% of unit's Spd at start of combat + 6, unit deals +X x 5 damage (max 25; excluding area-of-effect Specials; X = number of Bonus effects active on unit, excluding stat bonuses + number of Penalty effects active on foe, excluding stat penalties), neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).
Unit can use the following 【Style】:
Echo Style

Cooldown Count = 3
When Special triggers, treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% and neutralizes foe's "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills.

If unit initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd+8 to unit and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat, and also, if number of 【Bonus】 effects active on unit ≥ 2, excluding stat bonuses, or if number of 【Penalty】 effects active on foe ≥ 2, excluding stat penalties, unit deals +5 damage during combat (including when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special; excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials).

Enables 【Canto (Dist.; Max 3)】.
At start of turn, inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Sabotage】, and 【Discord】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions.
Inflicts Spd/Res-5 on foe and deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), 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). Restores 7 HP to unit after combat.

Style Effect

Echo Style
Unit can attack foes 3 spaces away (unit cannot attack foes 2 spaces away).
Unit attacks twice and calculates damage at 60% during combat (this calculation stacks with other effects that calculate damage at X% such as Potent Follow).
Unit suffers a counterattack if any of the following conditions are met: foe is armored with Range = 2 or foe can counterattack regardless of unit's range.
After-combat movement effects do not occur.
Skill effect's Range is treated as 2, including by skill effects determined by attack Range, like Pavise and Aegis.
This Style can be used only once per turn.
【Style】
Change Style using the Style button at the bottom of the screen.
A unit's Style is only active when that unit is taking an action. When unit is equipped with a skill that has a Style, unit will not be able to use skills like Duo Skills or Harmonized Skills. Style use is disabled when unit is deployed using Pair Up or when unit is equipped with multiple skills that have a Style.

Summer Celica's Harmonized Skill Effect

Harmonized Skill
Neutralizes any 【Penalty】, restores 40 HP, and grants 【Resonance: Blades】 to unit and allies from the same titles as unit for 1 turn.
Once used, Harmonized Skill cannot be activated again right away. At start of every third turn, if Harmonized Skill has already been used, unit can use Harmonized Skill again.
(Harmonized Skills can be used by tapping the Harmonized button. Harmonized Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Resonance Effect

Echoes / The Blazing Blade
Increases scores in Resonant Battles.

Summer Celica Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (9) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (12) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (5) No Def IV ★☆☆☆☆
Res (5) Res Boon ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk / -Def

The best IVs for Summer Celica are +Atk and -Def. Atk is a superboon and boosts Celica's Atk from base 48 to base 52, maximizing her damage output especially with Pious Offering's 【Echo Style】 both granting her a Brave effect and reducing her overall damage.

Summer Celica's Def is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of her matchups.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Summer Celica up to +10 to keep her competitive against the fastest metagame foes. Her damage output at full investment will be sufficient to defeat any foe that isn't a dedicated tank, allowing her to focus on Spd instead to ensure she can both generate and prevent follow-up attacks.

How to Use, Explanation

Summer Celica's base kit is already good enough to function as an offensive unit. Emblem Celica Ring allows her to warp in case her foes have a Bulwark effect, but isn't completely necessary.

Summer Celica is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Summer Celica Strengths

Pious Offering has multiple offensive effects and enables 【Echo Style】

Summer Celica Attack

Summer Celica's exclusive weapon Pious Offering grants her bonus Atk/Spd equal to 6 + 20% of her Spd, up to +25 bonus true damage, a Null Follow-Up effect, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat.

Pious Offering has multiple offensive effects that allow Summer Celica to deal significant damage to her foes.

More importantly, Pious Offering allows Summer Celica to use 【Echo Style】 and modify her offensive capabilities.

Attacks up to 3 spaces away with 【Echo Style】

Echo Style

The best effect of Pious Offering is access to Echo Style.

【Style】 effects are manually activated by the player using the Style button and change how Emblem Lyn attacks.

Echo Style in particular allows Summer Celica to attack foes up to 3 spaces away once per turn, and grants Summer Celica a Brave effect at the cost of only dealing 60% of her usual damage output per attack.

This effect allows Summer Celica to attack foes from a further distance than most other units, giving her tremendous threat range. While the reduced damage can be detrimental at times, especially against dedicated tank units, the Brave effect can allow Summer Celica to burst down her foes quickly before they can retaliate.

Holy Soul of Zofia inflicts Sabotage and Discord and grants Celica Canto, true damage, and Miracle

Summer Celica's exclusive B skill Holy Soul of Zofia grants her 【Canto (Dist.; Max 3)】 and inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Sabotage】, and 【Discord】 on closest foes and foes near the target foes at the start of each turn.

In combat, Holy Soul of Zofia inflicts Spd/Res-5 onto Celica's foe and grants Celica bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, a Miracle effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

Holy Soul of Zofia softens up Celica's foes and grants her extra offensive effects to allow her to burst down her foes, while also giving her a Miracle effect to survive combat. The 7 HP post-combat healing can refresh her Miracle effect as well, making Celica require getting hit twice before being defeated.

List of Bonus and Penalty Status Effects

Harmonized Skill neutralizes penalties and heals allies

Summer Celica's Harmonized Skill neutralizes all【Penalty】 effects, restores 40 HP, and grants 【Resonance: Blades】 to Celica and allies from similar titles when activated.

Take note that Celica's Harmonized Skill cannot be activated when she has Pious Offering equipped due to Pious Offering enabling 【Echo Style】!

Summer Celica Weaknesses

【Echo Style】's Reduced Damage Lacks Nuking Power

While 【Echo Style】 grants a brave effect and increases Summer Celica's threat range, the reduced damage output will render Celica unable to burst down modern metagame tanks, especially those with multiple true damage reduction effects.

Summer Celica excels in bursting down frail and normal bulk units, especially with 【Echo Style】 and 【Canto (Dist.; Max 3)】. Leave the tank busting duties to her allies instead.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Celica takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, 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!

that would usually be with support but even so she is definitely not 9.9. Her damage output is still ruined because of the style and Fatal Smoke is popular thanks to Rhea and the M!Alears. I could see 9.5 but nukes are in a tough spot right now

Summer Celica can take down any armored unit even black knight, V.Rhea,snake and F.F Alear, with right inherit skill and sacred skill, can target foe from a far, Not only that, it has has built in miracle. 9.9 for me.
