Winter Ignatz Builds

:    Tannenbow+	A : Atk/Spd Unity
:  Pivot	B : Crafty Fighter 3
: Bonfire	C : D/R Far Save 3
	S : Darting Breath

This build doubles-down on Unity stacking to abuse enemy debuffs and reach absurd levels of passive bonuses. D/R Far Save protects nearby allies from ranged attacks.

Recommended IVs

Neutral IVs by default!	As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Winter Ignatz will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.
+Spd/-HP	The best IVs for Winter Ignatz are +Spd and -HP. Boosting Ignatz’s Spd allows him to perform follow-up attacks more easily and prevent enemy follow-up attacks more often at the same time. His other stats are all respectable and loweing them changes his matchups accordingly. Thus, -HP is the bane of choice, because it is the easiest to patch up through Legendary and Mythic Blessing bonuses.
+Spd for a +10 Merge	We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Winter Ignatz to +10. His Spd is high enough to compete with the fastest units in the game, thus it should be boosted as much as possible.

Roles

Note: Winter Ignatz 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.
