Virion

One part of my death dealing duo, Virion’s job is to soften up everything Libra can’t outright kill himself, along with flat out sniping whatever is giving Libra trouble. There’s a glaring weakness in his Res, but as long as Virion’s on Player phase, this glaring hole isn’t as awful as it looks. Reciprocal aid is to snatch Libra’s wittled Fury health to slip into Desperation, while Luna provides the oopmh he needs to slaughter whatever he can’t quite two shot.

Laugh as you will, but he works well when paired up with a Renewal/Fury wall that doesn’t mind standing in between him and his foes - which is pretty in character for Virion, to some degree.

I always liked Virion and wanted to come up with a set to capitalize on his skill set. This build allows him at +10 to survive all current heroes on initiation, while allowing him to KO most on the next exchange. With S summoner support and a S ally support the ratio of positive trades increases greatly.
** Stats above for 5*+10, with S summoner and ally supports **

Guard Bow+ (+Spd) : Shores up Virions sub-par res stat while boosting his trades against other bow or dagger users.

Reposition: really this could be any movement skill of your choice.

Bonfire: This has the highest damage to cooldown ratio for Virion and lets him pick up key KOs.

Guard 3: Virion already has a pretty decent spd stat and guard is great for shutting down characters that rely on their specials (a lot of them).

Threaten Atk 3: This could also be Threaten Def 3 or Panic Ploy 3, depending on your team needs. Threaten Atk makes Virion tankier, while Threaten Def allows more KOs, and Panic Ploy deals with enemy buffs.

Distant Def 3: Finally we have the sacred seal. I chose Distant Def 3 as it allows Virion to survive better on defense, where as Close Def 3 gives him better advantage vs melee heroes at the cost of poorer match-ups vs mages.

Infantry support firesweep build
Trying to maximize Infantry Pulse while utilizing the Firesweep bow with Life and Death 3 and Chill Speed 3 to ensure double attacks with relative safety.

If the additional Hp for infantry pulse isn’t necessary for your team Atk Smoke 3 is a great backup seal.

Quick activating special is ideal to increase damage with Moonbow working better over Glimmer due to his low attack stat.

Even with Life and Death his high Hp still gives him a physical bulk of 72 where his magic bulk is a semi-decent 59. That said the hope is he will be able to ORKO most mages if he can land the first blow and get pulled away by teammates if not. Also if a unit is affected by his Chill Spd he can effectively double 38 Sp units

A powerful and expensive build for Virion. He's one of the few archers who holds his own niche, having high HP and decent defense to be a cheap budget option to counter Brave Lyn. His high HP can also be used to abuse Panic Ploy 3 or even support his inventory team using Infantry Pulse 3. Infantry Pulse 3 in particular can be devastating in TT or in chain challenge as the the -1 accelerating special charge can build up per map. Aether let's him cut through thick defenses of his opponents and let's him heal back any HP that he suffered.

+Def /-Res or +Spd/-Res
(+Def for more tanking or +Spd to prevent follow up attacks.)

Thanks to Virions high HP pool and good defence, Virion is able to make great use of Earth Boost 3 making him a very durable archer.

Seal Speed is a very useful support skill to slow down fast enemy units preventing them to make follow ups and or allow your units to double them.

Threaten Atk 3 to lower the atk of enemy units to make Virion even tankier.

Having either Luna to half the enemy their defense or Ignis for extra damage.

Reciprocal Aid or Ardent Sacrifice to heal your allies.
