Alternative A-slot for Nowi

I have a +spd -res 5* Nowi. I don't really feel like giving her Fury because I play her as a tank (6 hp lost each combat and damage received easily wears down her role as a tank) . Any recommendation is highly appreciated

Well usually people would use ta and swordbreaker to counter even falchion users or with lancebreaker to have a Better match-ups against the roster. However She became vulnerable to Green. For Tank purpuse Quick risposte is perfect. Still due her - res i suggest you not to go and bait many mages. Well Fury is actually great out It depens on purpuse in arena is good since the fights are fast and Short(but hard depending on your opponet) so you usually kill 1-2 with nowi so It gives her Better stats and allows use not to get doubled often due her + sped, sure not worth for TT and the recoil damage is hurtful if you use qr which She needs hp. Still it depends on your team and all. I current have an amazing +Attack/-def She can tank and kill with at and Fury and work fine with me but i have all the others option available It i Need to change.

Generally she runs TA or Fury and QR or Swordbreaker. I think these are the best options for her, just make sure to bring a green check if you run TA.

Fury isn't that bad for a tank build because it boost all your stats even DEF/RES so you get only 3 HP damage when you think of this way :7 dmg = 7 HP loss without Fury; 4 dmg -6HP = 10 HP loss with Fury -> 3 HP more lost. When a unit can double your Nowi Fury doesn't make a difference: 7 dmg *2 = 14 HP loss; 4 dmg*2 - 6HP = 14 HP loss -> +-0. And because you also get 3 more SPD it might prevent the attacker from double attack you (very much possible with a +SPD Nowi) then you even have more HP left with Fury: 7 dmg *2 = 14 HP loss; 4 dmg *1 - 6HP = 10 HP loss -> 4 HP more left! Plus Fury doesn't kill you so when you've been attacked with 13 HP you get killed in the example above. With Fury on you're still alive because you only get 8 dmg from the attack and Fury leaves you at 1 HP. That's gamechanging in some situations. So Fury is a great choise even on a defensive build. And it also boost Nowis player phase due to increased ATK/SPD.
On the other hand TA let's you check common reds (Ryoma, Ike) with ease but be aware of Falcion users... Swordbreaker can check this problem. Greens (Julia, Nino, Hector) are always a threat for Nowi no matter of having TA or not so you don't have that much disadvantage by using it. Lancebreaker/Blue Tomebreaker helps you to handle 2 colors. So as InFinite said when your team has a good green check than TA is a good alternative to Fury. If not Fury is the standard pick even for a tank build which also grands you a better arena score due to increased BST.

Hey there. My arena team core is similar to what you have in the picture there, except my Fae is 5 star. I've been having success using TA/QR on my Now and having the same on my Fae. My Nowi is +Spd/-HP and I have no trouble with Falchion users in arena. The team is heavily reliant on positioning and baiting in your opponents to do well, and is very effective if you manage that well. QR has been amazing on both units to ensure kills on the retaliation and I wouldn't dream of changing it unless you've been having a problem with a particular type (Fae has poor defense and Ike is red, so you may find that Lancebreaker is a better fit for you).
