Sacred Seal: Def Ploy / Speed +3 / Resistance +3
This build aims to make Arvis an all-purpose team support and combatant.
With high Resistance and two Ploy skills built into his weapon, Arvis can serve as a top-notch debuffer with the potential to completely cripple any targets in his cardinal directions. This makes Iceberg the choice Special to run, as its damage output will be quite effective thanks to Arvis’ high Resistance. At the cost of a longer cooldown, Arvis also has the option to run Glacies for an even more powerful Special activation.
In addition to being an exceptional debuffer, Arvis’ unique B skill allows him to take on the role of a pseudo healer. Recover Ring acts as an improved version of Renewal, restoring 10 HP every single turn. Combining this with a health-transfer assist such as Ardent Sacrifice allows Arvis to be a self-sustaining HP battery. Reciprocal Aid is also a suitable option and transfers larger increments of health, though can be inconsistent due to Arvis’ overall low HP pool.
Fury is a fantastic option for this set, as the boost it provides increases Arvis’ damage, overall bulk, and ability to utilize Ploy skills as effectively as possible. As for C skills, Arvis can take his debuff game a step further by adding a 3rd Ploy into his C slot. While his native Def Ploy is suitable, Spd Ploy is a better choice for Arvis as a standalone unit due to the fact that he targets Resistance.
As a cherry on top, Arvis can use the Def Ploy Sacred Seal in order to devastate his opponents by debuffing all four stats at once. Otherwise, Speed +3 and Resistance both give Arvis solid boosts to his key stats.

Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Res Ploy / Speed +3 / Attack +3
This set takes a more offensive approach by trading the utility of Valflame for the sheer damage output of a Blade tome.
For his Assist, Ardent Sacrifice has great synergy with Desperation. Arvis’ extremely poor physical bulk of 50 makes him susceptible to getting killed in only one hit; by dropping his HP without the need to engage in combat, Arvis can safely get into Desperation’s 75% HP threshold. Otherwise, any choice of movement skill such as Draw Back will make for a suitable Assist.
Glimmer is a great choice of Special on any Blade tome user, as it scales with the additional damage received from Hone/Fortify buffs and activates within a reasonable timeframe despite the cooldown penalty tied to Blade tomes. Alternatively, Moonbow can be used as a more effective option against opponents with extraordinarily high Resistance such as Sanaki and Winter Tharja.
Swift Sparrow is a fantastic choice of A skill, as it gives Arvis a strong boost to his offensive stats on initiation without losing anything else. Fury makes for another solid choice by making it easier to get into Desperation range along with increasing his overall bulk at the cost of a marginally weaker offense. In addition to this, the boost in Resistance improves his ability to utilize Ploy skills.
Desperation is essential to any glass cannon mage; once in the HP range, Arvis will be able to safely perform follow-up attacks without the risk of getting killed on the counterattack. Alternatively, Arvis can opt for Swordbreaker in order to secure match-ups against high-tier Speed sword units such as Lucina, Mia, and Soleil.
For his C skill, Arvis can once again make effective use of Ploys. In particular, Res Ploy increases Arvis’ overall damage output while Spd Ploy allows him to secure additional follow-up attacks should they land. Otherwise, the C slot can be replaced with whatever best accommodates his team.
Last but not least, Arvis has several options for Sacred Seals. If he isn’t already utilizing Res Ploy in his C slot, it can also be run in the Sacred Seal slot. Heavy Blade is another option with a consistent activation thanks to the damage scaling property of Blade tomes. This allows Arvis to activate his Special more frequently. Finally, both Speed +3 and Attack +3 make for good picks in order to give Arvis a solid offensive stat boost.
Introduction
Arvis’ unique skills allow him to be what can best be described as a “Swiss Army knife”. In addition to being a fantastic debuffer thanks to Valflame having two built-in Ploy skills, he functions as a healer thanks to his unique B skill. With it, Arvis can take a page out of a Falchion user’s book to an even greater extent by combining Recover Ring with Ardent Sacrifice in order to serve as a health station that recovers every single turn.
Statwise, Arvis sports a good value in both Attack and Resistance. Not only does this give him solid damage output, it allows him to consistently land his Ploy skills against an overwhelming majority of the cast. However, Arvis’ Speed is rather middling and may require that he receives team support such as Hone Speed in order to more consistently perform follow-up attacks. Even more unfortunate is his physical bulk; at an extraordinarily low value of 50, Arvis is susceptible to getting taken out in only one hit by an overwhelming majority of Defense-targeting threats.
Regardless, Arvis provides fantastic utility through both debuffing and healing and is more than capable in combat, making him a flexible choice for almost any team-composition.
Strengths
Valflame
Valflame allows Arvis to be a first-rate debuffer thanks to having both Res Ploy and Atk Ploy built-in. This can be further accentuated by giving Arvis additional Ploys such as Spd Ploy and Def Ploy in his C and Sacred Seal slot respectively, potentially allowing him to debuff all four stats at once.
Recover Ring
Arvis can function as a pseudo healer akin to Falchion users by combining Recover Ring with HP-transfer skills such as Ardent Sacrifice or Reciprocal Aid.
Great Resistance
In addition to making him a better mage combatant, Arvis’ high Resistance allows him to consistently activate his Ploy skills a majority of the cast.
Weaknesses
Abysmal Physical Bulk
With only 53 physical bulk, Arvis is highly susceptible to getting killed in only a single hit by many physical attackers. In addition to this, his puny 33 HP leaves him open to almost any user of Panic Ploy.
Cannot have IVs or Merges
Arvis’ potential is severely limited due to his lack of access to IVs and a limited amount of merges. Not only does this hurt his combat potential by not allowing him to capitalize on his strengths through a boon, it also puts him at a major disadvantage in Arena and Arena Assault.
Team Options
Counters
Due to his abysmal physical bulk, Arvis is often easy prey for physical damage dealing opponents. This is especially true for blue units who hold the Weapon Triangle advantage over him. Magically bulky units can also pose major problems for Arvis. In addition to mitigating his raw damage output, they can potentially have even higher Resistance than him. Not only does this take away Arvis’ ability to Ploy them, but it opens him up to getting hit with the debuff himself.
-
Strong Physical Attackers: Powerful physical attackers such as Ayra, Cordelia, Effie, and Elincia all make short work of Arvis’ pathetic physical bulk.
- Magically Bulky: Delthea, Micaiah, and Fallen Hardin can all wall off Arvis’ damage output thanks to their high Resistance and Weapon Triangle advantage. In addition to this, other Ploy users with higher Resistance such as Lute can give Arvis a taste of his own medicine by inflicting him with their own debuffs while avoiding his.

Arvid will seem to be a fun character to use in my eyes and how he could be built.
For his Weapon I'd stick to his default Valflame. Having a built-in Atk & Res Ploy 2 it will be amazing as having 33 Res can debuff his opponents Atk & Res at the same time. For a more damaging weapon Rauorblade+ would be good if he can gain support from his allies.
For his Support skills Ardent Sacrifice works great with his B skill. He can be a way to help units recover slowly every turn. Other skill could be Reposition or Draw Back for movement.
His Special could be Iceberg giving him an extra 17 damage, or he could run Draconic Aura to give him some more damage.
For his A skill Fury 3 works great with Recover Ring in the fact that he heals himself 10 hp every turn. Other skill that would be good would be Death Blow 3. With how low his Defense is and only have 33 Hp he might have trouble dealing with blue units and some red units. With Death Blow he can be a destructive Player Phase unit. Swift Sparrow could also work give him 35 in speed.
For his B skill Recover Ring is his best option, be a better Renewal he can gain back 10 Hp every turn which works great in Tempest Trials, Chain Challenge run with Ardent Sacrifice. If you want to help heal you teammate. He could also run Desperation or G Tomebreaker.
For his C skill having Def Ploy can help his team in debuffing. Or any Hone skill to help his team.

Valflame | A | Fury 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ardent Sacrifice | B | Recover Ring |
|
Iceberg | C | Def Ploy 3 |
This is the most logical build for Arvis allowing him to spread debuffs like wildfire from safe range and even nuke some units when he needs to. He can also abuse recover ring to both counteract Fury's damage and be able to constantly heal allies with Ardent Sacrifice. cheap and OP as hell.

Valflame | A | Fury 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Draw Back | B | Recover Ring |
|
Iceberg | C | Def Ploy 3 |
| S | Distant Def 3 | ||
This set is designed to give Arvis mixed options in terms of both tanking magical hits and debuffing enemies. Valflame is kept due to its niche of having both Atk and Res Ploy 2 built into it (along with 14 Mt), therefore making it a rather unique legendary weapon. Draw Back is chosen as the Assist skill due to Arvis's low physical durability, and Iceberg as his Special due to his superlative Res. Fury makes a good A slot skill for him because it provides him with good stat boosts all across the board, complementing his average to above-average spread in Atk, Spd and Res and his innate Recover Ring. Swordbreaker (heh) or Red Tomebreaker can be run in place of Recover Ring if the player wishes to get more offensive/defensive potential out of him. Finally, Defense Ploy is chosen as his C slot due to it complementing his tome, making him into a potent debuffer, and Distant Defense works well as his Sacred Seal because it allows him to both tank magic better and deal more damage with Iceberg on the enemy phase. Speed +3 can additionally be run in place of Distant Defense if the player has trouble with his offensive capabilities due to his middling Spd.

Valflame | A | Fortress Res 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ardent Sacrifice | B | Recover Ring |
|
Bonfire | C | Spd Ploy 3 |
| S | Resistance +3 | ||
This build is to capitalize on his debuff and combat healer roles.
With his A slot I chose fortress res 3 to further increase the chance of the ploy skills proc'ing. A good alternative is Fury 3, thanks to his exclusive B skill, Arvis can capitalize on the backlash while still maintaining the stat increase.
As a C slot, either speed or defense ploy is a good option, just depends on your team comp.
And with your special you can go with bonfire or ignis depending on your preference, just to broaden his attack options.
As a sacred seal I would prefer res +3 just to even further increase the likelihood of being able to proc the ploys, increasing bonfire and ignis damage, and being able to deal with mages/dragons more effectively.

Valflame | A | Fury 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ardent Sacrifice | B | Recover Ring |

Iceberg | C | Spd Ploy 3 |
| S | Resistance +3 | ||
This build focuses on turning Arvis into a destructive support. Fury 3 boosts his already good stat line, giving him 37 attack in combat, allowing him to easily melt through most enemies. Recover Ring is used to offset Fury's self damage and used in conjunction with Reciprocal Aid/Ardent Sacrifoce to heal his allies. A Res +3 seal is taken to get more damage out of Iceberg, and trigger Valflame and Speed Ploy.
