How Would You Build Jamke?

Answers

High investment,if I build him he would look like this + any buffs my other units will give him for tanking.

Why Guard Bow? Even with the added 6 resistance from Guard Bow, and Res Tactic, that'd be 29 resistance. With his 'low'ish HP, low speed (compared to some mages out there) and low resistance, he'd be decimated by a mage in seconds. o.O

It's mainly for other archers lol,occasionally a mage or 2.

A tactics team would make him a lot better. He would have 54 Attack, which makes Heavy Blade activate quite a bit. If you give him Odd Atk Wave, he can reach a total of 60 Attack, being able to activate Heavy Blade quite a lot. Astra is fine but I think Dragon Fang would be better. You can give him Vantage for his B slot. Close Counter for his A slot. Heavy Blade will go to his Seal.

That's a pretty expensive skill set.

I’ll admit, CC and Odd Atk Wave are expensive. You can put Heavy Blade on his A skill and give him Distant Def for his Seal. Odd Atk Wave can be replaced with Atk Smoke.

Sack him for CA for my Maribelle team.

I guess I can give Astra to.... someone? xD

yeah CA and not the super rare Heavy A-slot which still *might* have it's uses

You can get CA off of Mathilda, tho.

Exactly.
It's like sacking Mia for Vantage.

And when I put Heavy Blade from my -Atk Ike on my +Atk L!Ephraim several people were like, "Why would you do that when it's a seal?" Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

BTW I did it because the flexibility of the Seal slot is more important than the potential A slots.

Also I already burned 40K feathers on Mathilda's (CA is 5*) so 1 Jamke isn't going to matter much.

It has uses, but I can't think of all that many. One of them is mixing Brash Assault > Desperation slow characters like Blade Tome Sanaki and default Lolina so they can double and get quicker charges off of stuff like Glimmer or something.

Another loose example:

I wouldn't.

I'm looking into who can use Heavy A-slot, though.

I think Heavy Blade would require you to spend 20k to promote him. xD

That's not an issue. It's far better than having to net an Ike for it.

What's the point, he's basically a NY!Corrin with more Atk. All the free archers we got are incredibly weak. I'd just slap fury and refine Def.

If you like him, you'll use him. Simple.

I'd build him with a Brave Bow. His speed doesn't seem like it has a lot of potential without the use of a seal. But when it comes to neutral IVs, he has the highest attack of all archers in the game. (Probably the only reason he has Heavy Blade) Compared to every archer with a +Atk IV, only a handful of archers beat his attack, and only one of those is in the permanent summoning pool.

36 base attack plus a Brave Bow+ makes 43, then Death Blow 3 makes 49. Really good attack for a Brave Weapon user.

I'll give him Luna and any other assist and C skill. I'm also gonna let him keep Cancel Affinity for budget reasons. (CA's not bad, just situational.)

Sure, you can pick a unit with better attack and access to more merges to run the same build and s/he'll do it better. Frankly, I don't care. As long as he's good in his own right, I'm fine.

His biggest problem is that he's just like Leon with higher BST and no IVs, which absolutely kills him in his case, because a +atk IV could fit for a brave bow build, +spd IV could go for a desperation build, +def could fit into a CC build. When he's at neutral, he doesn't really shine in any of those roles and is therefore completely mediocre.

As for his base skills:
Slaying bow is on Leon
Astra can be foddered from Virion and Cordelia
Nobody uses cancel affinity
Heavy blade is sort of useful.

The best ideas I've been able to come up with are brave bow + death blow, very simple, or refine for spd (or def is possible too), use death blow, infantry rush/flash him (preferably flash), and use 32-34 spd to pick on slow tanks with a nice ignis. 54 atk + 23 damage on the ignis (spd refine; 25 damage if using def refine) vs a 40 def tank will KO up to 51HP.

I'm most likely going to fodder the heavy blade though. I'd like a one-turn galeforce on Cordelia.

i’m not lol, he isn’t worth my feathers

I was thinking brave bow but I can't be arsed to pour that many feathers into him. This is the best budget build I could come up with. Still needs a lot of support but he could at least snipe squishy ranged units reasonably well.

And he really is Leon 2.0. Nice attack, decent defense, but disappointing speed.

I'm honestly torn between Brave Bow or a CC set. But I really do want to build him. I did get a Dancing Xander who I'll never use so CC + QR is certainly an option for Jamke for me, or I could go for a Brave Bow set and give the CC + QR to Julius?

Here's how I'd build him

He'd have solid attack,SPD and def but low res which is slightly fixed by guard bow,threaten def to make sure he can get the ORKO and vantage to pop off when enemies at ranged combat think they have him before he nails them with a draconic aura
