5* Ike how good is he?

So I’m fairly new to this game and I know there are a lot of builds and I guess according to the IV calculator I’m a +atk/-res. I have a ton of SP because I know I should save them for other skills. But which skills should I get to really buff out this guy? Is he even worth the buffing out if he’s technically not a good summon? And if there are specific skills for Ike which characters have them that I can get them from.

Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it
- sincerely a new guy

That's his best IVs. Heavy Blade, QR, any C Skill, and Aether is the best you can get in low investment.

Gotta say you have an amazing luck there, congrats !
Ike is really one of the best swordman in the game, no reason to not use him at all

As for his build, with +atk he will cap his atk at 54 with his weapon, keep his Heavy Blade in his A slot as his attack will exploit the skill to the max, and keep Aether as special will make him survive even better
B skill is open up to a lot of choice, Quick Riposte will make him a great bait as he can counter both close and ranged attacks thanks to Ragnell, If you find your Ike oftenly runs in lower health than not, Vantage is viable option, if you doesn't have the mentioned skills, you can just keep the Swordbreaker on him, making him to be better at dueling swords
C skill is really up to you! Threaten Def for more attack, or buff skills

I hope this helps!

Wow yeah this helps a lot and I can’t believe my luck, I’m almost never this lucky on any summons. I can’t tell you how happy it is knowing I had a super great pull with awesome IV’s. I’ll definitely take your advice. Thanks!!

As someone who plays a lot of Ike, congrats on the Best IVs you could possibly get! Heavy Blade is great in most content (especially TT), but if you're planning on moving up arena ranks, I recommend utilizing Fury 3 from a 4 star Hinata. Vantage is an excellent B skill that I've had great success with and for C skill Threaten Def 3 does great at improving damage across the board. Aether is excellent in Arena for score and in TT for survival. As for an assist, Reposition gives great flexibility on positioning. I hope you Like Ike as much as I do!

Wow that’s awesome! I can’t believe it that I had someone this good. Tbh I was thrilled to have Ike in general because he’s one of my favorite FE characters, and to know he has one of the best stats! Incredible! Your Ike looked stacked! So I’ll definitely try to re create it if you don’t mind! Thanks for the time and help! :)

I don't mind at all. Heavy Blade/QR with Aether is excellent in TT, so I'd invest in that along with Fury 3/Vantage for Arena. Fury and Vantage are skills available on 4 star Hinata and 4 star Lonqu so they're not terribly rare, which is pretty nice. The good thing about QR is that there's little functional difference between QR 2 and QR 3, so you can just grab QR 2 from Subaki for TT.

Is TT the temptest trials or from the training tower? I see that there is a Subaki in the special maps? Was that what you meant?

TT is the Tempest Trials. Subaki is in the hero battles as a free character at the moment. You'll want to sacrifice a 4 star, however, to get QR 2 and to get Swap as well until you can get Reposition from a Selena or Barst.

Congrats. My Ike is +SPD -ATK. I finally just gave him a different A slot.

Thanks man! Is that a pretty good one to have? I’m still trying to figure out which are the best IV’s in general to have for characters. Seems like atk and speed are the best?! Or is that only for red units? And maybe other IV’s are better for others?

Mine is terrible. Kind of. +SPD is one of the best, -ATK is the worst. So bitter. Yours has great IVs.

Speed is almost always going to be the best boon you can get since it increases survivability so much and can increase damage if the unit has a speed base than enables it to double. Attack is also always good since more attack is more damage. Depending on the unit, defense or resistance can be good since both help the unit tank damage of a certain type (my Fae for instance has a resistance boon and it has been quite good even allowing her to tank some red mags). HP is probably the worst stay to have a bonus in since, overall, it offers the least in return compared to the other stats.
