Azura (Young)

A Song of Shadows (Assist Focus)

Young Azura appears as an infantry green mage with subpar defensive stats and an atrocious BST of 140. Her gimmick is her Sing ability, which makes her the second unit in her color/type combination to be able to refresh allies, behind Performing Inigo.

WEAPON
Book of Shadows is Azura's default weapon of choice and an excellent tome, granting Young Azura three points of extra Speed and inflicting -4 on all stats of a foe if she is adjacent to an ally. This weapon should be kept, since it allows Young Azura to fight some units if she needs to without the fear of being doubled. Next to an ally, Young Azura has an additional 7 Speed over her opponent.

ASSIST
Sing is obviously kept, as it allows Azura to refresh her allies, allowing them to attack again or retreat from the frontlines.

SPECIAL
Moonbow and Glimmer are two low-charge Specials that let Azura compound extra damage onto her attacks. Young Azura can be used to KO enemies who are at low HP, and having Young Azura hit a little harder when she has her Special charged up is a nice bonus.

A
Fury gives Young Azura a boost in every stat. This is nice for boosting her offensive potential, and bringing her Resistance from a meager 25 to a stable 28. However, Young Azura will take 6 damage from every round of combat, and with her 36 HP, Young Azura must be kept safe and away from hard-hitting red and green units.

Triangle Adept can also be considered if Young Azura will be fighting many blue enemies, especially units who do not run Distant Counter, but Fury is generally a better option for Young Azura.

B
Wings of Mercy is a skill that will allow Young Azura to help out low-HP allies who may need support or a dance to finish off an enemy. This is especially helpful if Young Azura is in a team that has allies who use Fury themselves, as she will be able to come to their aid with an attack or Sing.

C
Spur and Drive skills let Young Azura boost her allies by giving them buffs. Since Young Azura can be used as a member of many team compositions, she can use any Spur/Drive skill interchangeably to focus on a specific stat(s), such as Attack or Defense.

SACRED SEAL
Brazen Atk/Res is a seal that complements a build for Young Azura that utilizes Fury in the A slot. Since Azura has 36 HP, and Fury deals 6 damage per round of combat, to meet the HP threshold, Young Azura only needs to enter combat twice to activate the effects of the seal, which will grant her an additional few points of Attack and Resistance, which will make her hit harder and take less damage from mages and dragons.

IVs: N/A
This build aims to maximize Y!Azura's damage output by optimizing her passive skill loadout to synergize with Book of Shadows.

Book of Shadows is used to debuff the opponent in combat, which, combined with Atk/Spd Bond 3 in the A slot and Atk/Def Bond 3 in the S slot, gives her +14 Atk and +9 Spd and Def. Spd/Res Bond 3 can be used as a budget option but it reduces Y!Azura's ability to ORKO some threats.

Due to the opponent's defense being debuffed, it is ideal to use Glimmer on this build as it takes damage from your own damage rather than your opponent's weakened defense and resistance. Combined with Y!Azura's respectable Atk stat she becomes more viable with Glimmer.

The B and C slots are the most flexible parts of this build as they focus on supporting the team. Quick Riposte 3 is a decent option as a way to patch up Y!Azura's mediocre Spd. While she does hit 38 Spd with Book of Shadows combined with Atk/Spd Bond 3, it may not be consistent enough to double opponents. Alternatively, Wings of Mercy 3 is always good on singers and dancers, and Bowbreaker 3 is especially useful for surviving Brave Lyn, who has shot her way back into relevancy through Aether raids.

Drive Spd 3 is always good for Y!Azura so she can better support your team, but you can customize it to whatever fits. Close/Distant Guard 3 can help with dedicated Enemy Phase units on your team, Tactics can work on a mixed team, etc.

The core of the set is Book of Shadows, Sing, Glimmer. A-slot Atk/Spd Bond 3, S-slot Atk/Def Bond 3. Provided you're running that core, everything else is customizable. What you have there will work.

Other notes: Due to her low BST, Y!Azura appreciates Summoner Support to help her nuke opponents and avoid doubles. In addition, with the advent of heroic grails, Y!Azura becomes a much more viable prospect with the ability to get to +10 faster than her limited counterpart, Inigo.

Mainly I use her to buff Ylgr, making her insanely fast and able to tank most return hits.

I gave her Draconic Aura because it capitalizes on her ATK stat.

Fairly cheap Azura build, the double bonds work very well for her plus her prf tome, and B skill would be preferred as wings of mercy just because she is a dancer so she would work well being able to teleport to low health teammates. She unfortunately does not have enough res for a glacies or something like that special, so glimmer instead of moonbow is a nice quick one, due to her tome already making -4 to each stat. C skill could really be anything.

A build maximizing Azura's support role as well as a offensive role while making good use of her weapon.

Book of shadows is kept for it's effect.

Sing is kept for obvious reasons.

Blue flame due to it's synergy with being adjacent to an ally.

Both bonds have really good synergy with Azura's personal weapon.

Odd speed wave to avoid most doubles and increase speed.

Finally chill speed to shut down any high speed users.

Young Azura reaches ridiculous offensive capabilities with this build.

If all bonds, odd speed wave and chill speed are active on THE ENEMY, Azura receives a +14 ATK, +22 SPD, +9 DEF, and +4RES buff. If factored in with her base stats at +0 and weapon, She'll have an effective 61 ATK, 52 SPD, 28 DEF and 29 RES.
