Any hope for Merric????

So I got a pity breaker 5* Merric and I have no idea as to what to do with him. It's not as though I plan on having special use for him, but I just don't want him to collect dust. Are there builds that make him useful? Is there a skill that makes him fodder? I really don't want him just sitting around.

I got a 5* Merric as well in the past... sorry to say that, but he's pretty much useless.... weak unit without proper skills for inheriting

Putting him up to usefulness requires merging and expensive skills, which could be used for better units elsewhere

No, I hate to say this, but he's worthless in pretty much every way possible.

Seriously, why is Merric even a 5*? How hard is it to make a 5* feel like a fucking 5*, IS

well, without the bad 5*s there wouldn't be any good ones either, they'd all be the same

He is a 5* because he was since the begining of the game, and for that time he was actually pretty good (second best green tome user, after nino, but back then there was only 3 green tomes sooooo....). Also, he have a legendary tome.

I have a merric from when i started the game (my 3º 5* unit), and i have him as a raven user. He have a lot of hp and have somewhat good mixed defenses, so he actually is prety bulky and do a great job as a raven user. But outside that, is a bit lackluster. You can try to upgrade his tome to dark excalibur and try to make him a sweeper, but i doublt it will work

just give the gun to a 4 star 10 merge merric and let that one collect dust i guess

He's not terrible. I built mine cheaply with bow breaker, armored blow and a normal Gronnraven. Boey definitely runs this set better, but Merric can pull it off. He's ok with his normal excalibur tome too, but raven is better for him.

Well, his build depends mostly on his IVs. I highly recommend giving him Dark Excalibur, since it helps his low attack, but it’s not necessary in case you just want him for Arena Assault, and you probably want to use your Divine Dew for other heroes. +Def, +atk and +spd are his best boons, but +hp is also decent since it allows him to run Infantry Pulse very efficiently(and also Panic Ploy, even Boost skills). If you have a spare Takumi you can give him Close Counter/Quick Riposte/Threaten Res. He can also use Gronnraven/TA/Bowbreaker and function as a Brave Lyn/Reinhardt counter. I guess he can also use Gronnowl(especially with Close Counter) and Gronnwolf(although there are much better options for this). I highly recommend the Raven/TA/Bowbreaker build, since it’s cheap and allows him to be a direct meta counter.

I have a +spd -res Merric which I plan on getting to +10 some day. So far I’ve been using him in Arena and he’s been doing a pretty good job. I gave him Dark Excalibur and he can take advantage of the usual low res to take out melees, even people like Black Knight and Ike.

+atk -res
Dark Excalibur
Any Assist
Ignis/Bonfire or Luna/Moonbow
Fury, Close Counter?
Vantage/Desperation or Sweep skill
Any C
Hardy Bearing, Quick Riposte, Atk or Spd +3
Give him Dark Excalibur, +atk -res is probably his best ivs. You could have him take on slow Distant Counter or Bow units. Spur support is nice, since 26 to 30 base attack is low, 32 speed won't go far. Hardy Bearing may be a good seal for him, unless you use Vantage with a quick special and/or Infantry Pulse Support (Marisa) or Desperation w/ Drive Speed support (Tailtiu).
He can work, I have thought of building one before. Just with so many easier units to work with, Merric is easy to forget about. I would suggest giving him a chance though
