New Year Váli Skills at 5★
|
Might: 14 Range: 2 Enables 【Canto (Rem.; Min 1)】. Neutralizes "effective against flying" bonuses. Grants Spd+3. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Grants Atk/Spd+5 to allies within 3 spaces of unit during combat and those allies can counterattack regardless of foe's range. For allies within 3 spaces of unit, if ally's HP > 1 and foe would reduce ally's HP to 0 during combat, ally survives with 1 HP, and after combat, restores 40 HP and grants Atk/Spd 【Great Talent】 +10 to ally (effect only triggers for player's team once per map and does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce unit's HP to 0; when any other such effect triggers on an ally granted this effect, this effect will trigger too). Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+15 to unit, neutralizes foe's bonuses, unit deals +X damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials; X = 15 + total value of Atk and Spd 【Great Talent】), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 15 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. (This skill grants max of 【Great Talent】 +10.) |
|
Cooldown Count = 5 When Special triggers, if unit's HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP, and afterward, once per turn on player phase and enemy phase, damage dealt by unit's attacks and damage from foe's attacks during that combat are reduced to 0 (Røkkr take at least 1 damage), and after combat, grants Special cooldown count-5 to unit, restores 40 HP to unit, and grants Atk/Spd【Great Talent】+10 to unit, and also, if unit initiated combat, grants another action to unit. At start of player phase or enemy phase (except for in Summoner Duels), grants Special cooldown count-5 and restores 40 HP to unit. Unit's first follow-up attack deals +X damage (X = 50% of foe's Atk + total value of unit's Atk and Spd 【Great Talent】), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack during combat. (This skill grants max of 【Great Talent】+20.) |
|
If unit initiates combat or is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = unit's maximum Special cooldown count + 7 during combat, and also, when unit's Special triggers, deals damage = unit's maximum Special cooldown count × X (excluding area-of-effect Specials; if unit triggers the "unit attacks twice" effect, X = 3; otherwise, X = 5). |
|
At start of turn, and after unit acts (if Canto triggers, after Canto), inflicts 【Spd Shackle】 and 【Res Shackle】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe and deals damage = number of 【Penalty】 effects active on foe, excluding stat penalties, × 2, + 7 during combat (max 15; excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
For unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd+5, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 5 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 by 50% during combat, and also, restores 40% of max HP as combat begins (triggers after effects that deal damage as combat begins; only highest value applied; does not stack). |

◯ = 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.
The best IVs for New Year Váli are +Spd and -Def. Váli is among the fastest heroes in the game with her base 48 Spd, raised to 51 after equipping Sister Hagoita, and raised to 54 after a boon.
Even though +Atk is a superboon and is also a good boon to take, we still recommend +Spd due to the numerous speedy units in the game with base 48-49 Spd. New Year Váli can prevent their follow-up attacks with enough Spd investment.
New Year Váli's Def and Res are equally not as good as her other IVs. We recommend -Def as it is slightly lower, but either of these will be fine as a bane and it will not impact any of Váli's matchups. She will be reliant on Invincible Sister for survival anyway, so the bane does not matter as long as it does not hinder an offensive stat.

How to Use, Explanation
New Year Váli's base kit is already good enough to have a great offensive presence while also functioning in enemy phase. Other purely offensive skills like Flared Sparrow can be used, but we opted for mixed phase usability.

New Year Váli Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
New Year Váli Roles
New Year Váli is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.
New Year Váli Strengths
| Attention! |

New Year Váli Weaknesses
Reliant on Invincible Sister
Similar to her base version, New Year Váli's defensive stats are quite lacking, leaving her vulnerable to strong attackers.
She will be reliant on Invincible Sister to survive attacks from these foes. When Invincible Sister's Miracle effect is not active, New Year Váli is highly likely to fall on the foe's follow-up attack
Additionally, Invincible Sister can be countered with area-of-effect damage as long as New Year Váli's HP is reduced to 1 before combat begins. This ensures that Invincible Sister does not trigger!
