Best Infantry Galeforce Users?

Okay, to get this out of the way, yes, I know Galeforce works best on cavalry and fliers because of their greater mobility. The main reason I'm asking is because Grand Conquest only allows one dancer, and I got spoiled in the cavalry round having access to a friend's Brave Roy and my own Galeforce Eliwood, and then in the flier round with someone's Galeforce Cordelia I borrowed. Now in the infantry round the only extra turns I get come from whoever my Olivia can reach and it's just not the same.

So...does anyone have experience with infantry Galeforce users and know which units might be good with it? Ideally it would be a unit that's not too hard to get, and ideally the build would be useful in more contexts than just GC, but any insight at all is appreciated!

Raven comes to mind. Basilikos' effect refine plus Fury (or L&D if you're looking to go suicidal) and Desperation would make Galeforce the most logical choice for Special, just begging to be abused ;)

I dunno about best, but maybe Raven with Fury 3 and Desperation. Maybe Hana, or other users who can make good use of Firesweep weapons (with high speed)?

Hmmmm....i just looked into it more in depth and +spd slaying edge, spd refine and LnD soleil can reach 57 46 offensive stats. And allows for more flexibility in the middle of combat as she wont NEED tp be danced to proc galeforce. She can do it from desperation herself unlike other builds. just like raven(raven jr tbh).

Well, if I had to choose a few units.
A word of warning, this list is a bit long an unorganized, you have been warned.

Raven (Basilikos, Fury, Desperation, Galeforce is savage!)
Hana (Pretty strong IMO, not my fave unit, but she' there)
Ayra (why use this over regnal astra though)
Ephraim(Both versions. Simply get a +atk version (or neutral in the cav case, as he's pretty high atk stat wise) and run heavy blade/galeforce.)
Lucina/Mia/Soleil (Each of them is very strong with these skills, so it depends on taste for these units specifically)
Fallen Celica (Stupid fast, and can run a really good quad build with a brave sword along with galeforce)
Corrin/Caeda(low tier galeforce users, as they could normally use a damage boost over a second attack)
Bravecina/Nephenee (Both very good, however nephenee prefers Moonbow, but that's up to you)
Anna(yup, the one unit I gave Galeforce to early on, works pretty well IMO)

Sorry bout the unorganized list again, hope it was useful though!

Okay, thank you so much for this list, and I just have to react for a moment here, because holy crap, Ephraim. I haven't used my Ephraim in ages, not since I switched to just having Olivia/Azura buff my Nino (since I find attack and speed buffs in the C and seal slots are usually enough). So I read his name on your list, and I was like, "Ephraim, really? Wait...Oh my god, EPHRAIM."

Dude can rock a Heavy Blade/Galeforce set without having to worry about his speed stat, so he can run Death Blow instead of L&D, and his C and support slots are still open so he can retain almost full buffing capabilities if he wants. That's insane. I am so sad that my Ephraim is neutral instead of +atk right now, holy crap.

Soleil can be insane i saw a lot videos of her with Braveweapon + , lnd and galeforce.

Report

I run her with her Firesweep, heavy blade seal, infantry pulse on my B!Ike (highest hp in my arena core), and a Dark Aura/drive attack/ally supported Linde for massive attack buffs. If she doubles, and she doubles a LOT of things fully buffed, she goes twice and it's really, really nuts.

Wow, thanks so much to everyone for their suggestions! Looking at my barracks I think Raven's the best choice for what I've got, although I may play around with Hana or the Lucinas, or Soleil if I ever get her with good IVs. This is gonna be fun!

Report

The best would be Raven with his upgraded weapon Basilikos(+eff L&D) paired with Heavyblade Seal and watch him run riot. Also when he is in desperation range pretty anything that isn't a red unit with high defence dies. But he is purely an offensive unit, so don't expect to tank with him.

Other good units are Hana, Soleil.

Soleil and Raven are broken with galeforce my bro. both of my babies are wreaking havoc and despair as we speak.
