Haitaka Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (9) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (11) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (10) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (9) 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Haitaka 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 Haitaka are +Spd and -Res. While Haitaka's Spd at base 46 (base 49 with a boon) isn't enough to generate follow-up attacks against the fastest enemies, it is enough to prevent them from generating follow-up attacks against Haitaka, assuming equal investment. This allows Haitaka to increase his bulk by reducing the amount of attacks he takes.

Haitaka's Res is his least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Haitaka up to +10 for similar reasons above.

Haitaka Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Haitaka Roles

Haitaka 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.

Haitaka Strengths

Hexblade Sword+ provides terrainwalk and Hexblade

Haitaka's inheritable Hexblade Lance+ grants him unit cannot be slowed by terrain (does not apply to impassable terrain) and 【Hexblade】 at the start of each turn.

In combat, Hexblade Lance+ grants Jesse Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and bonus true damage equal to 10% of his Atk.

While not as good as exclusive or even Arcane lances, Hexblade Lance+ provides enough to be worth using on a budget.

Haitaka Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Should you Unlock Potential?

Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? B Rank Icon

We Recommend Unlocking Potential for Haitaka - Persistent General!

Haitaka as a Source Hero

Haitaka Avatar

Value of Skills ★★☆☆☆

Haitaka comes with Hexblade Lance+, Atk/Spd Prime 3, and Odd Def Wave 3 as inheritable options.

Unless you need Atk/Spd Prime 3 as bridge fodder, we recommend merging your Haitaka copies instead.

Why are builds from Divine Codes 5 being recommended? A!Fir's kit is severely outdated, AS Finish 4 is the only skill that would still be useful for Arena, which is likely the game mode he would be used for because he scores as high as Panette
