Atk (10) Attack 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, Raphael will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

Raphael 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.

Raphael Strengths

Notice Attention! This page is still under construction and will be completed shortly.
Sign up or Log in and select Add to Watchlist under the page's title to be notified of any updates!

Raphael Weaknesses

Lack of Unique Skills

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

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

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Raphael takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Randgríðr, 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!
