Any Good Hauls from VG Banners? Also, +Atk Ophelia or + Spd Ophelia?

So I decided to just splurge on the Voting Banners as the odds are really good, considering how well my day went with the falchion banner. (4 Lucinas and 4 Alms). So I went for the 2nd Voting Banner, aka the better one. (RIP Delthea, why couldn't she be in place of Olwen.)
From what I got was surprisingly, really good!
+ Atk and + Spd Ophelias
+ Atk Linde
+ Spd Olwen.
and a random + Atk Micaiah

Oddly enough, they are all -HP for their banes, which isn't bad. What was your haul for these banners? (If you were tempted at all.) I probably won't be summoning on the legendary banner after my luck from this banner. Well, unless I just NEED something from it. (Hrid, please come home you hunk)

My current Ophelia's IV is very subpar, being +Def, -Res... so the new ones are much more optimal. I got the special spiral build on her, so she has her uses rather than being foddered off. Question is, Which one should I go for? +Atk or +Spd? I feel like the obvious answer is +Atk, as it's a super boon to counter that super bane for Hp. Her role is to practically one shot things, much like Liliana. However, I'm really liking making sub optimal speed characters fast.... just cause. My Current +6 Micaiah is +spd and reaches about 42 spd(with Spd Wave) + Spd Ploy, and it's just... fun. The +atk one I recently got kinda bums me out as now I feel like I should use her instead... but I rather not?

So... Speedy Ophelia sounds redundant, but fun? However, Attack Ophelia just sounds unnecessarily strong? My current one-shots things as it is with her current build. So... which one should I go for? Opinions and advice would be appreciated! ^-^

For Ophelia I think I recommend +atk, especially on a spiral build. Spd is actually pretty irrelevant because she's not using desperation and she's going to have a very hard time taking a counterattack. In any case, it's good to have a OHKO mage. I would be surprised if you don't use the extra atk on an abyssal map because 80HP with 30 res is not uncommon which means you need 62atk even with a blazing AoE special (unless you have triangle advantage). Neutral atk with L&D only gets to 56 atk; +atk gets to 60 which makes the gap closable with just hone atk (as opposed to needing a tactic). You'll also enjoy the extra atk if she finds herself at triangle disadvantage.

And HP being a superbane is completely irrelevant except that it hurts her bulk more than -res or -def. I'd say the only banes which don't hurt her bulk too much are -res and -spd, because she probably survives only one counterattack either way. -def thins her physical bulk to 55 before L&D; -HP, to 54. The superbane doesn't even change her arena score.

About Micaiah, I'm not 100% sure but I think +spd with BA+desp is as good as +atk because she hits twice even on wary fighters, and she has enough atk to get through everything even without the boon. In any case, if you like +spd you'll enjoy yourself more not letting other people tell you that +atk is necessarily better. Also, if you have the fodder (death blow 2, for instance, and add atk seal) you can experiment with +atk to see whether you really do like it better.
