What's your favorite Soleil sword?

Special Fighter? Isn't that only inheritable by armors?
Did you by chance mean Special Spiral?

My bad! Just changed it. Special Fighter was on my mind from a Sheena I'm building, but yeah, I gave her Special Spiral.

Special Fighter???

I personally run a Firesweep build. With Chill Speed, Defense Smoke, and a special cooldown reduction alongside the Heavy Blade seal, She can double basically everyone, then immediately get an additional kill from Galeforce. If you run Swift Sparrow in slot a instead of Life and Death, and don’t have a -def iv, you can even double Myrrh after the smoke debuff.

Oh yeah, I ran Chill Spd on mine for a while with Firesweep. I ended up opting out though because of its inability to KO Myrrh often and Wary Fighter Hector. And I was having some trouble proccing Galeforce versus things like Legendary Hector and Grima M, because of their swole attack stats. Def Smoke is a nice idea though to help fix that!

Yeah in order to deal with Hector and Grima I had to Summoner Support her and use a rally to boost her attack. With the boosts alongside Swift Sparrow, she can hit 66 attack. More if you run Attack Tactice obviously.

I'm having fun running that build, i need to get 5 more copies to finish her. Basically if she doubles she will alway activate Aether, and if they take her low enougth she will deal 10 extra dmg, spd smoke is not the most obtimal for arena but for PvE it's usefull when i need her to tank multiple hits.

I think way too many people overrate Special spiral, it's good on Ares because it's on his weapon, but we have many strong options in the B slot and Special spiral has so much competition in that slow, from something like Vantage or Desperation for example

Not just Soleil, but sword users without unique swords in general:
I love the defence swords, Safeguard and Barrier Blade, 7 def/res is quite a bit, and it can make a lot of differend units into walls or mixed fighters.

Yeah, I'm liking these a lot too. I haven't managed to get my hands on Lene or Sylvia, but I'm hoping to get Safeguard+ for my Soleil to try out a mixed build at some point.

I happend to get 'lucky' on the Ishtar/Ares banner, with 2 of em while going for Ares, and somehow got 2 later on random summons.

Gave one safeguard to Seth. A good sword for him, sadly even with it he's too overshadowed.
Another I used on NY!Camilla who's +def-res.
45 def on enemy phase before A and seal skills.

I favour special spiral only for aether builds, for example:
Wo dao, aether, distant counter or swift sparrow or brazen atk/spd (or conceivably, even brazen def/res), special spiral, atk smoke, flashing or heavy blade (or spd smoke if you have infantry rush/flash support). Aether will activate on either phase if she doubles, so she should do decently if she has to fight multiple opponents.

Firesweep is quite nice, but I think I might like her bulk a bit too much to be throwing out her enemy phase.

I have 7 swords on her at this point. Of those, my favorites are:

Armorsmasher: This is my bread and butter sword for her. Every armor dies, and non-blues all die in one hit. Combine it with Chill Def for extra comedy.

Wo Dao: Wo Dao combined with Wrath and Dragon Fang is a potent combination. I've had her OHKO TA3 Nowis with this setup before. A Slaying Spear Def refined +Def Effie with 2 Blessings worth of HP buffs still gets OHKO'd by this combo.

Kadomatsu: My Arena support sword of choice. Along with a dual rally, double tactics buffs, and Chill Def, I support Soleil each season to whoever will be my bonus unit.
