Anyone tried Wrath on Brave Ike?

Got a Nephenee I still haven’t used (-def, +res) and wondered whether I should pass wrath to someone I use regularly.

Figured it would have decent synergy with Brave Ike, anyone tried it and how does it perform on him?

It works really well, like more B skills on B!Ike.
Wrath synergies really heavily on characters with a CD-1 weapon like Urvan but the thing about B!Ike is that he actually gets a lot of value out of most B-skill, that's what Wrath doesn't stand out as "the optimal" option as many are just as good.

You could argue that QR enables him to deal more damage overall.
Shield Pulse mitigates a lot of damages (in case he counters he gets it ready again and in case he doesn't, Urvan reduces massively the dmg of the follow-up anyways).
Vantage provides him both damage output and damage mitigation.
Wrath can do anything really, depending on the Special ability equiped.
And even the regular breaker skills (a bit forgotten) are really effective on B!Ike, especially the melee ones which fix one of his few weaknesses.

Thanks for the input, I’ve been running Beorcs Blessing on him since his release, but I find that while the concept of that skill would be immense in PvP, that fact that arena opponents are controlled by the AI means that I rarely have to face a fully honed/fortified flyer or horse unit because within 2 rounds they have dispersed halfway across the map.

I was thinking of using wrath because I run distant counter in the A slot and feel it would enable me to swap bonfire for ignis with the additional cool down bonus from wrath.

QR is great, but my summoner supported Ike rarely needs it to take out pretty much anything because I usually run 2 hone/rally buff supporting units next to him.

It's pretty disgusting to face, at least in Arena Assault. But depending on the situation other options are better. Ike's B slot is tough choice.
