Might: 14 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Disables foe's effects that "calculate damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res" during combat (including area-of-effect Specials). For unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X (for unit, X = 15; for allies, X = 5) and grants Special cooldown count-1 before each of their attacks during combat (including when they attack twice or perform a follow-up attack), and restores 7 HP after combat. Unit deals +25 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 15 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts damage by 70% of unit's Res when Special triggers. If unit's or foe's Special is ready, or unit's or foe's Special triggered before or during this combat, and also, if unit's Res ≥ foe's Res-10, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9. If support partner is on the map, unit can move through foes' spaces and unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of any support partner within 3 spaces. If support partner is not on the map, at start of turn, grants "unit can move 1 extra space" to unit for 1 turn (that turn only; does not stack). At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants 【Potent Follow】 and 【Anathema】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. Unit deals damage during combat = number of times unit has attacked in the current combat × 5 (excluding area-of-effect Specials; including current attack). If unit's Res > foe's Res, or if unit is within 2 spaces of support partner, or if there is a support partner with Support Rank of S+ on the map, unit attacks twice during combat. 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). |
|
At start of player phase or enemy phase, inflicts Spd/Res-7, 【Sabotage】, and 【Schism】 on foes with Res < unit's Res that are within 2 spaces of another foe through their next actions. After start-of-turn skills trigger on unit's player phase, if the number of foes with the 【Sabotage】 effect active on the map ≥ 2, grants 【Canto (1)】 to unit for 1 turn. Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe and deals damage = 20% of unit's Res during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
At start of player phase or enemy phase, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts 【Ploy】 and 【Exposure】 on those foes through their next actions. Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit and those foes suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks during combat. |

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.
+Res / -Def
The best IVs for Winter Ivy are +Res and -Def. Res is Winter Ivy's most important stat as it is the basis for most of Ivy's base kit Res checks, including the brave effect of Tunnel Vision.
+Atk is also a great option to further increase her damage output, as it is applied for each Atk, including the brave hits and the Potent Follow-Up hit.
Winter Ivy's Def is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of her matchups.

Winter Ivy Weaknesses
Low Physical Bulk
Winter Ivy's base 39 HP and 19 Def leave her incredibly vulnerable to physical damage. Offensive physical threats can easily knock her out in one round of attacks even with minimal investment.
Keep her away from foes that deal physical damage to ensure her survival!
Weak to Bows
As a flying unit, Winter Ivy takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
