Roderick Question

Same way as Cordelia, Tana, and every Firesweep user.

LnD/Swift Sparrow/Darting Blow, Drag Back/Hit and Run/Seal Skill, with cav buff on his C slot. His special can run either Moonbow or Luna.

Sure everyone says L&D is the way to go, but that just is not the case sometimes. Roderick's speed is just enought with cavalry buffs that virtually no one can double him. Taking this into account, his defences are balanced enought that he can take a hit from almost anything including the occasional green. Considering who you have on your team, you're pretty good on offensive so I would not go the L&D route and instead use him as more of a support, and Darting Blow 3 is perfect.

If cavalry buffs and a +spd boon is enough for him to not be doubled by anything. Adding Darting Blow 3 is enought for him to double on everyone else. (49 SPD! You can go even higher with various goad type buffs). This makes him perfect at destroying reds and cleaning up blues. Even squishy green mages are no match for him.

I have a cavalry team of Reinhardt, Frederick, Cain, and Roderick. My Roderick has Firesweep Lance+, Reposition (in order to take advantage of his speedy tankiness), Moonbow, Darting Blow 3, Drag Back (you have no idea how many times he's been useful for moving enemy units around into optimal positions), and whatever cavalry buff you want (I run hone). He's really an incredible unit this way.
