◯ = 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 Sedgar are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Sedgar to prevent follow-up attacks and help him make follow-up attacks on his own.
Due to Sedgar's lack of exclusive skills, he will be reliant on raw stats to compete against the fastest metagame foes.
New Year Sedgar's Res is his least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
New Year Sedgar is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

New Year Sedgar suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him unable to stand out amongst other units.
Bow Cavalry units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive weapon makes New Year Sedgar replaceable by better units.
New Year Sedgar takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, 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!
| Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? |
|
|---|
We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Sedgar - Festive Horseman from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Sedgar - Festive Horseman is a very useful fast bow cavalry, so we recommend you Unlock Potential for Sedgar - Festive Horseman if your team lacks a strong fast bow cavalry.
