Legendary Shez (M) Skills at 5★
Dual Sword Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice). Inflicts penalty on Atk/Spd/Def/Res for foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit during combat = 4 + number of combat instances on current turn x 4 (max 12; includes combat instances unit does not participate in; battles on player phase and on enemy phase are counted separately; does not include this current combat instance). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 5 + number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit x 3 (max 14), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% ("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 grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. Effect: 【Dagger 7】 |
Ruptured Sky Boosts damage by 20% of foe's Atk. If in combat against a dragon foe or beast foe, boosts damage by 40% instead of 20%. |
Atk/Spd Finish 4 |
Shadow Slide If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (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). |
Pulse Smog 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 the foe's maximum Special cooldown). |
Legendary Shez (M) Best IVs
Recommended IVs
| Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| HP (19) |  | ★★★☆☆ |
| Atk (12) |  | ★★★★★ |
| Spd (8) |  | ★★★★★ |
| Def (10) | | ★★★☆☆ |
| Res (5) | | ★★☆☆☆ |
◯ = 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 Legendary Shez (M) are +Spd and -Res. Legendary Shez (M) has one of the best Spd stats in the game at base 47, raised to base 51 with a superboon. He can take advantage of his high Spd to quad attack his foes, while also increasing his damage output with Shadow Slide's bonus true damage effect.
+Atk is also a great IV to frontload his damage output, maximizing the chances of him defeating his foe immediately after his first brave attack.
Legendary Shez (M)'s defensive stats aren't too bad, but shouldn't be a priority to increase. We recommend taking Res as a bane as it is his least important stat.
+Spd for a +10 merge
We recommend +Spd when merging Legendary Shez (M) up to +10 to ensure he outspeeds his foes.

Legendary Shez (M) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Legendary Shez (M) Roles
| Shez: Dual Sword Master Roles | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Close-Physical | Ranged-Physical | Close-Magic | Ranged-Magic |
| Physical Wall | Magic Wall | Effective Weapon | Movement Assist |
| Exclusive Skill | All-Range Counter | Recovery | Refresher |
| Legendary | Mythic | Duo / Harmonized | Resplendent |
Legendary Shez (M) 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.
Legendary Shez (M) Strengths
Dual Sword attacks twice and inflicts scaling penalties
Legendary Shez (M) comes with his exclusive Dual Sword which attacks twice, grants up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, grants 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack, and grants a Tempo effect during combat.
Dual Sword also passively inflicts an Atk/Spd/Def/Res penalty for all foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit equal to 4 plus 4x the number of combat instances on the current turn, up to a maximum of Atk/Spd/Def/Res-12. This penalty is applied even if Legendary Shez (M) himself isn't involved in combat, allowing him to aid his allies during their combat by debuffing their foes passively.
Shadow Slide grants multiple sources of warping
Legendary Shez (M) also comes with his own exclusive B skill, Shadow Slide. This skill allows Shez to warp to any space within 2 spaces of allies within 2 spaces and allies that have already entered combat during the current turn regardless of distance. Additionally, if an ally has already entered combat during the current turn, Shadow Slide grants Shez a Pass effect.
On a properly built team, Shadow Slide allows Legendary Shez (M) to immediately go on the offensive, warping directly to his enemies immediately after the initiator unit on his team enters combat. With Dual Sword's brave effect, Legendary Shez (M) can launch a surprise attack against unsuspecting foes and defeat them foe in combat.
Shadow Slide also inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on Legendary Shez (M)'s foe during combat and grants him bonus true damage equal to 20% of his Spd, 50% damage reduction piercing on his foe's non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects, and 7 true damage reduction on his foe's first attack. These effects soften up his foes during combat while also improving his survivability.
Legendary Shez (M) Weaknesses
Average Bulk
Legendary Shez (M) has average bulk as most of his stats are allocated towards Atk and Spd. He will be heavily reliant on defeating his foes during his first attack with Dual Sword.
Many metagame units have ways to pierce through non-Special damage reduction, rendering Dual Sword's damage reduction on first attack not as effective as it normally would be. Legendary Shez (M) will need to depend on his natural bulk and Shadow Slide's true damage reduction on foe's first attack to survive combat.
