Brave Veronica

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -DEF or -RES
• Weapon: Hliðskjálf 
• Assist: Recover+ 
• Special: Windfire Balm+ / Heavenly Light / Miracle
• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Atk/Spd Push / Speed +3 / Attack +3
• Passive B: Wrathful Staff 
• Passive C: Close Guard / Hone Cavalry / Goad Cavalry / Savage Blow / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Savage Blow / Live to Serve / Speed +3 / Attack +3

Veronica’s unique staff, Hliðskjálf, is an extremely strong supportive weapon -- on top of granting her the coveted Dazzling Staff effect, it allows her to safely apply debuffs on her opponents while simultaneously buffing her own allies. This weapon, in combination with her impressive offenses and superior cavalry mobility, allow Veronica to act as a frighteningly powerful support unit while still possessing considerable offensive potential. An Attack boon is ideal should one wish to focus more on her supportive capabilities while a Speed boon is better to capitalize on her damage output instead; ultimately, however, both are fantastic choices. 

Her native Recover+ works excellently as an all-around reliable healing skill, though Physic+ can also be a suitable substitute to extend the range of her healing abilities. For her Special, Veronica’s native Windfire Balm+ is a rather strong option and allows her to offer all of her teammates with a substantial +6/+6 Atk/Spd buff upon its activation; however, keep in mind that this can potentially be redundant with the buffs she already provides thanks to Hliðskjálf. Heavenly Light may also be considered to provide her allies with a teamwide heal upon activation as opposed to providing a buff. Alternatively, one can utilize Miracle to grant Veronica some leeway as it allows her to escape being killed by a fatal blow just once. 

Atk/Spd Solo is her ideal A slot as it gives her the most favorable boost to her offenses so long as she has no adjacent allies, a requirement that is extremely easy to meet considering the fact she will typically be away from her teammates when on the offensive. Atk/Spd Push is also a strong option that similarly enhances her offensive potential and is best paired with the Live to Serve seal, as the skill's powerful effect is only active when she is at 100% HP. If either is unavailable, Attack +3 and Speed +3 are both fine choices for her A slot skill to boost her offenses. As Hliðskjálf already comes with built-in Dazzling Staff, Veronica is free to use her native Wrathful Staff to very potent extents, as the deathly combination allows her unrestricted use of her strong offenses while being able to freely attack opponents without worry of being killed in retaliation. 

Veronica’s C slot is flexible and is open to a variety of different skills depending on what her allies’ needs are. If using her amongst other cavalry units, buffs such as Hone Cavalry will be preferred, though it might be better to utilize in-combat buffs like Goad Cavalry to avoid redundancy with the buffs provided by Hliðskjálf; this, however, can be very easily made a non-issue with smart play. Savage Blow can also be suitable to use as her chosen C slot skill (and potentially her seal as well) to stack chip damage on top of her debuffs, debilitating entire teams with just one strike. Otherwise, her native Close Guard is a formidable choice as well to strengthen her allies’ resilience against melee opponents. Should both the Savage Blow and Live to Serve seals be unavailable, the Attack +3 and Speed +3 seals can be used instead to strengthen her offenses. 

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -HP or -DEF
• Weapon: Dazzling Pain+
• Assist: Recover+ / Physic+
• Special: Windfire Balm+ / Heavenly Light
• Passive A: Atk/Spd Push / Attack +3 / Speed +3
• Passive B: Wings of Mercy / Wrathful Staff
• Passive C: Savage Blow 
• Sacred Seal: Savage Blow 

This build ditches Veronica’s unique staff in exchange for the more commonly used Pain+ staff, gaining the ability to deal significant amounts of chip damage in lieu of the ability to apply debuffs on her opponents. However, aside from a few minor alterations, this build plays very similarly to the first and aims to capitalize on Veronica’s versatility as an offensive supportive unit. As such, boons to her Attack and Speed stats are again recommended to bolster her offensive potential. 

The crux of this build lies in the choice of her weapon, C slot, and seal. By utilizing the Dazzling Pain+ staff and Savage Blow in both her C and seal slot, Veronica is capable of inflicting up to 24 points of chip damage to opponents around her initial target, allowing her to team to then come and sweep the now-weakened opponents; this is especially effective when utilized against defensive tanks as they commonly rely on their ability to stay above certain HP thresholds, such as that of Quick Riposte, to function properly. 

For her healing skill, Recover+ and Physic+ again make for excellent choices, with the choice between which to use ultimately coming down to player preference. Windfire Balm and Heavenly Light are excellent team-supportive options for her Special that can potentially help her allies get out of a close pinch. Atk/Spd Solo is ideal to grant her the most favorable increase to her offensive potential, although Atk/Spd Push is also a good option when utilized in tandem with the Live to Serve seal. Otherwise, Attack +3 and Speed +3 are suitable budget options. As for her B slot skill, Wings of Mercy is a fantastic support skill that can help extend Veronica’s range further and appear directly next to weakened allies, who can then take advantage of her healing capabilities. However, should one wish to focus entirely on Veronica’s offenses, then her native Wrathful Staff works perfectly as her chosen B slot skill.
