HP (21) HP Superboon ★★★★★
Atk (10) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (10) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (11) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (6) No Res IV ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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 / -Res

The best IVs for Boyd are +Atk and -Res. As a unit without exclusive skills, Boyd will need every boost he can get to deal relevant damage against his foes. 45 Spd, while high, isn't fast enough to outspeed fast metagame foes, but is enough to prevent follow-up attacks from most of them.

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

Boyd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Boyd Roles

Boyd 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.

Boyd Strengths

Good Stat Spread

Boyd's base stats are great for an easy-to-merge unit, heavily leaning towards his HP and Atk stats. Base 45 Spd is good enough to avoid follow-up attacks from all but the fastest metagame foes, and his 37 Def is serviceable and allows him to soak up some attacks.

Campaign Axe+ creates a huge Atk/Def swing

Boyd's inheritable Campaign Axe+ grants him Atk/Def+5, inflicts up to Atk/Def-10 onto his foe during combat, and grants him +10 HP recovery after combat.

While Campaign Axe+ is not up to par against modern metagame threats, it is decent enough to function on a budget against most other heroes.

Boyd Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Should you Unlock Potential?

Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? B Rank Icon

We Recommend Unlocking Potential for Boyd - Intrepid Warrior!

We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Boyd - Intrepid Warrior from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Boyd - Intrepid Warrior is very useful as a fast modern axe infantry, so you may find using Unlock Potential on Boyd - Intrepid Warrior helpful if your team lacks a party member with this role.
