Anna worth upgrading?

I'm still rather lacking in 5* green-type units, and so I was wondering if Anna would be a good choice for upgrading. Her unique weapon (also meaning 16 Might) has an automatic Escape Route 2, and she comes with blazing-high speed for an Axe unit, something that's only rivalled by +Spd Raven after dropping the Brave Axe.

I already have her up to 4*, so it's only a matter of collecting enough feathers. Considering just about my own options for Axe units with not-bad natures are Michalis, Cherche and Narcian, Anna just seems a lot more reliable. Any thoughts?

Anna is certainly a solid option for an axe user. Michalis is also good, but is more defensive than Anna, and his base kit is already great so he doesn't require much SP grinding. Cherche will require a LOT of dedication and sacrifices to make her viable, but is arguably the best out of your options when finished. I wouldn't really consider Narcian, as he only fits a very niche role of lance counter, and the other three are much better than him. Anna is certainly worth the effort if you give her skills like LnD or Fury, and Desperation/Vantage along with moonbow. She's one of the fastest units in the game and has good attack as well. If you don't want to wait for another banner with lots of axes, then she'll serve you well.

Do you have any green tomes? If you have nino or cecilia for example. they go a long way in arena (for me at least)

Most axe units die to either Red lords or green and blue mages... which comprises a lot of the meta atm. Green tomes let you counter things like nino (with green tome breaker) and linde, which I have always had problems with.

If you don't have this problem however, Cherche with the right amount of dedication. If you cant get the right skills to inherit on her, then anna is good too, works nicely too since she is usually featured as a unit in the arena line-up.

I have Nino newly at 5* (+Atk/-Res), but that's all I have for green, and I like variety.

Is Anna really so bad against mages? With her speed, it's incredibly unlikely she'll get doubled by anything naturally, and she's got above-average Resistance, at 28.

Anna is one of the rare exceptions against mages, although a powered up nino might still be able to OHKO her.

The problem I see with anna is that you have to get in close to take out any mages, and shes not very defensive which leaves her open to counter attacks from other melee units. If you want variety Cherche sounds more promising, especially with her bulk and brave axe schenanigans.

Thats my opinion tho, they're both strong picks

Eh, I was on your place, since I didn't have good green units (got bad ivs Ninos), and was planning to 5* her.
...
and then I got Hector and used him instead orz.

Anna's pretty solid against blue mages, and is a part of my balanced arena team
