Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.

Machyua Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (11) Attack Bane ★★★★☆
Spd (9) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (10) 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 / -Res

The best IVs for Machyua are +Spd and -Res. As a fast Sword Infantry unit, Machyua relies on her Spd to compete with the fastest metagame foes, preventing their follow-up attacks while creating her own follow-up attacks. Spd is also the basis for Hot-Blooded's Spd check and is best invested into with skills and her superboon.

Res is Machyua's least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Machyua up to +10 to maximize her Spd stat and allow her to outspeed a majority of her foes while preventing follow-up attacks from the fastest metagame foes.

Machyua's inheritable Arcane weapon Arcane Renegade grants Atk/Spd+5 to all allies within 3 spaces, and whenever they deal damage to their foe, also grants them 7 HP healing.

In combat, Arcane Renegade grants Machyua up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 based on 25% of her foe's Atk, bonus true damage and true damage reduction equal to 15% of Machyua's Atk (including area-of-effect Specials), a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP healing whenever Machyua deals damage to her foe.

Arcane Renegade is a great inheritable Arcane Sword and has multiple effects that make it useful at all times.

Hot-Blooded has built-in Vantage, Phantom Spd, and grants multiple other effects

Machyua's exclusive B skill Hot-Blooded has built-in Vantage and Phantom Spd, ensuring these effects are active at all times.

List of Status Effects: Bonuses and Penalties

Machyua Weaknesses

Saturation

Machyua is yet another fast Sword Infantry unit in a game with multiple other units of a similar archetype.

While Hot-Blooded sets her apart from other alternatives, it may be difficult to fit her into a team without overlapping roles.
