Spring Sothe Skills at 5★

Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+15 to unit, unit deals +25 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 15 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Cooldown Count = 5
When Special triggers, boosts damage by the greater of foe's Spd or Def.
For unit's first attack during combat, if damage dealt prior to damage reduction calculation < foe's HP - 1, sets damage before damage reduction as foe's HP - 1 (excluding certain foes, such as Røkkr).
Reduces damage from foe's attacks by 40% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), disables skills of all foes excluding foe in combat, and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and also, if decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 10 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers 【Potent Follow 100%】.
At start of turn, grants Atk/Spd 【Great Talent】 +2 to unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit.
After combat, if unit's Special triggered, grants Atk/Spd 【Great Talent】+4 to unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit.

If unit initiates combat or the number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, and if unit's Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.

At start of turn, and after unit acts (if Canto triggers, after Canto), inflicts Spd/Def-7 and 【Discord】 on closest foes and any foe within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions.
Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foes, unit deals +15 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).
While attacking in Aether Raids, if unit ends movement on a space with a Bolt Trap or a Heavy Trap, cancels trap's effect; if unit ends movement on a space with a Hex Trap, reduces trap's trigger condition by 10 HP.

Enables 【Canto (2)】.
When Canto triggers, enables unit to use 【Distant Swap】 on ally (this effect is not treated as an Assist skill; if similar effects are active, this effect does not trigger).
If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+4 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).
If unit initiates combat and foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed foe's maximum Special cooldown).

Spring Sothe Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (10) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (10) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (7) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Spring Sothe are +Spd and -Res. Sothe's base 49 Spd, raised to 53 with a superboon, allows him to compete with the fastest metagame units. Spd should be boosted as much as possible to help him create follow-up attacks against his foes while preventing follow-up attacks from the fastest units in the game.

Res is Sothe's least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

How to Use, Explanation

Spring Sothe's base kit is good enough to function on a budget. Adding an Attuned Skill and an Emblem Ring improve his performance, but aren't completely necessary.

Spring Sothe Strengths

Spring Sothe Weaknesses

Reliance on True Bane and Outspeeding Foes

Spring Sothe relies on True Bane to bring his opponent down to 1 HP, and then for his 【Potent Follow 100%】 effect to trigger afterwards to finish off his foes.

Effects that slow down Sothe's Special cooldown can help prevent True Bane, and denying Sothe's follow-up prevents him from landing the killing blow.

Double-check for both of these effects before sending Spring Sothe out to attack enemies!
