Rebecca

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK or +RES / -DEF or -HP

• Weapon: Guard Bow+ (+Spd)

• Assist: Reposition / Draw Back / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Iceberg

• Passive A: Distant Defense / Warding Stance / Fury

• Passive B: Quick Riposte  / Vantage  / Dull Ranged

• Passive C: Atk Smoke / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Distant Defense / Quick Riposte / Attack +3

This build aims to make Rebecca an effective mage tank by stacking as much Enemy Phase Resistance as possible. Guard Bow fits this playstyle perfectly, as it provides 6 Def/Res when initiated on. When it comes to IVs, a boon in Speed allows Rebecca to better avoid follow-up attacks from high-tier Speed units while a boon in Attack increases her overall damage output. In particular, a boon in Attack is required in order to defeat Reinhardt in one round of combat. Additional Resistance also makes for a suitable option, as Rebecca’s primary function is to take magical damage.

As for Specials, Moonbow is a great choice thanks to its short cooldown allowing it to activate during every round of combat assuming Quick Riposte is active. It’s also a more reliable option than Glimmer, as Rebecca’s Attack is too low to make effective use of its damage scaling property. If one desires more power in exchange for a longer cooldown, Iceberg is another great choice of Special thanks to the additional Resistance from skills such as Guard Bow and Distant Defense factoring into its activation.

Since the core of this build is stacking Enemy Phase Resistance, Distant Defense is the choice A skill. With both this and Guard Bow, Rebecca will receive a whopping +12 Def/Res and a total of 82 magical bulk when initiated on. Warding Stance is also acceptable, as they are functionally the same for Rebecca. If neither are available, Fury makes for a good budget option by increasing Rebecca’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res by 3 at the cost of 6 damage taken after combat.

Quick Riposte is absolutely essential, as Rebecca will need it to guarantee her follow-up attack against high-Speed mages. This is very important in securing the KO as well as activating her Special. Alternatively, Quick Riposte can be moved to the Sacred Seal slot in favor of running another B skill such as Vantage. This pairs especially well with Iceberg, as Rebecca will almost always have it ready to activate after her first round of combat assuming that Quick Riposte is active. This gives her the potential to take out multiple opponents in a single Enemy Phase. Another good choice is Dull Ranged, as it gives Rebecca an immunity to her opponent’s Hone/Fortify buffs. This is especially useful in nullifying the damage received from Blade tomes.

Attack Smoke is a great choice of C skill in making Rebecca a better mage tank, as it severely hinders the damage output of opponents around her after combat. If unavailable, the C slot can be replaced with whatever will accommodate her team.

Distant Defense is a fantastic choice of Sacred Seal, as stacking it in addition to Guard Bow as well as having it in the A slot gives Rebecca a staggering +18 Def/Res when initiated on by a ranged opponent. If not already being used in the B slot, the Quick Riposte seal is crucial in allowing Rebecca to perform consistent follow-up attacks in the Enemy Phase. Outside of that, Attack +3 is a solid pick in order to increase Rebecca’s damage output.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or ATK / -HP or -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Firesweep Bow+

• Assist: Reposition / Draw Back / Flexible

• Special: Luna / Moonbow

• Passive A: Life and Death / Fury

• Passive B: Cancel Affinity / Swordbreaker

• Passive C: Speed Smoke / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Speed +3 / Attack +3

By utilizing Firesweep Bow, Rebecca prevents her opponents from counter-attacking at the cost of not being unable to counter-attack herself. This allows her to completely forego her bulk in favor of maximizing her offensive damage output, making Attack and Speed the ideal boons to take. Speed is especially important for a Firesweep user, as attacking twice is far more important than attacking once with additional damage.

When it comes to Specials, Moonbow is the best choice. By running it in tandem with the Flashing Blade Sacred Seal, Rebecca and potentially activate her Special every single round of combat. Should one choose not to run Flashing Blade, Luna also fits this playstyle well. Since Firesweep sets will often attack twice during combat, a Special with a cooldown of 3 such as Luna will activate every other round.

Since the nature of this build is purely offensive, the lowered defensive stats from Life and Death are a non-issue, making it the choice A skill for boosting the offensive power of Firesweep users. Fury is a cheap alternative that can be used to give Rebecca slightly more bulk in exchange for 2 Atk and Spd. This increases her chances of survival should she ever need to take a hit. As for B skills, Cancel Affinity is chosen to prevent Triangle Adept/Raven Tome mages from being able to wall off Rebecca’s damage. Swordbreaker is another great choice, as Rebecca will need it to guarantee a follow-up attack against some of the faster sword units such as Ayra and Mia.

Speed Smoke is useful in debuffing opponents around Rebecca’s target. This can be very powerful with refresher support by making subsequent follow-up attacks easier to perform. Finally, Speed +3 and Attack +3 are both great Sacred Seal options in order to improve Rebecca’s damage output.
