| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Ilian Greatlance has built-in Canto, grants bonus stats, damage, and Potent Follow to allies within 3Rx3C, and grants a brave effect to Azura. ・Songful Essence is a 2 range refresh that re-enables Canto, grants Draconic Hex and Preempt Pulse to nearby allies on each phase, and grants +1 movement to a specific nearby ally at the start of each turn. |
|
Might: 16 Range: 1 Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】. Grants Res+3. For unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+Z (for unit, Z = 15; for allies, Z = 5) and deals +Y damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials; for unit, Y = 25; for allies, Y = 10) during combat, and also, if decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 25 would allow unit or ally to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers 【Potent Follow X%】 during combat (if unit or ally cannot perform follow-up and attack twice, X = 100; otherwise, X = 50). Reduces damage from foe's attacks by 15 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe's next attack. |
|
Range: 2 Grants another action to target ally, and if Canto has already been triggered by target ally, re-enables Canto. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants 【Draconic Hex】 and 【Preempt Pulse】 to unit and allies within 3 spaces of unit for 1 turn. At start of turn, grants "unit can move 1 extra space" (that turn only; does not stack) to target allies within 3 spaces of unit (if support partner other than calvary with a Range = 2 is on player team, targets any support partner; otherwise, targets ally with the highest Atk at start of battle, excluding unit and cavalry allies with Range = 2; "at start of battle" excludes increases to Atk granted after ally is deployed, such as Legendary Effects, Mythic Effects, Bonus Heroes, Great Talent, etc.). (Cannot target an ally with Sing or Dance. This skill treated as Sing or Dance.) |
|
Grants Atk/Res+8. Inflicts Def-8. At start of player phase or enemy phase, neutralizes 【Panic】 and any penalties to unit's Atk/Res that take effect on unit at this time. |
|
At start of player phase or enemy phase, inflicts Def/Res-6 and 【Discord】 on foes with Res < unit's Res and that are within 2 spaces of another foe through their next actions. Inflicts penalty on foe's Def/Res during combat = number of foes inflicted with 【Discord】 within 2 spaces of target, including target, × 2, + 4 (max 10) and deals damage = 15% of unit's Res (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/Def-4 on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, and those foes suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks during combat. |

◯ = 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 Ilian Azura are +Res and -Def. Despite Ilian Azura having 48 Spd allowing her to keep up with fast metagame units with some investment, her status as a 2-range refresher unit means she will not enter combat too often. Res is the preferred IV in order to improve her ability to apply debuffs to her foes using Res-based skills.
Ilian Azura's Def is a clear dump stat. With her low base 36 HP and 16 Def, no amount of investment will protect her against physical damage from modern day units. It is safe to take as a bane.

Ilian Azura's 2 range refresh makes her flexible enough to not require additional movement. Emblem Corrin ring is perfect for role compression, fulfilling multiple roles using only one hero slot.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Ilian Azura is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

|---|
Ilian Azura's base 16 Def and base 36 HP leave her incredibly vulnerable to physical attackers. Any physical attack from a halfway-decent unit can threaten to knock out Ilian Azura.
Keep Azura out of range of these enemies in order to ensure her survival!
As a flying unit, Ilian Azura 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.

Ilian Azura has Crystalline Water, Def/Res Discord, and S/D Crux:Ploy as inheritable options.
While these skills are good enough to inherit onto your favorite units, Ilian Azura is the best refresher unit in the game (as of the time of her release) with her unique 2-range refresh assist. Consider keeping her in your barracks to use in battle!

S!Plumeria is overall the better refresher, still don't understand why she was demoted from 9.9, because of the extra action she gets from her Harmonic skill. They give similar buffs but I like the Drive Preempt effect from Plumeria better than Azura giving out Preempt Pulse as a bonus because it can be stacked, and other units like E!Lyn and N!Gullveig also give PP to allies. Plumeria's mid turn penalties can't be cleansed while all of Azura's can. Shadow Smite is very useful too.

the range 2 is the only advantage azura has over plumeria, IMO.
