I've got a +2 Ares atm (still waiting for more versions of him to show up), I'm wondering if once at +10 an Hp bane would still be an issue for his survivability as it is said in his gamepress page. He would have 40 Hp, 37 Def and 22 Res. I have a +Spd/-Hp one and I think it would be quite nice to build him with aether and something like desperation and heavy blade as he would have 56 Atk and 37 Spd without any buff nor A skill.
Dark Mystletainn's effect and Heavy Blade would help him trigger Aether at every encounter when doubling (too bad Dark Mystletainn doesn't work with Galeforce).
I could also build him with Distant Counter, Vantage and Bonfire but then a +Spd nature might not be the best one since a +Def +10 Ares gets to 40 Def (so 20 extra Atk with Bonfire).
So as I don't know what would be the best option I'm asking to you guys some advice.
In my opinion you should take -res only if you're not going to give him DC, with - res he may get one shotted even by green mages and die before getting into Vantage, for DC you could also consider taking - def if you want to preserve him magical bulk as much as possible
It doesn't really matter. -Hp and -Res are both -4 banes. He definitely won't survive two hits from any color mage, so it doesn't matter. An opponent would need to target his Res twice for the extra Res to be beneficial over the extra HP.
IMO, you're better off dumping the Res and keeping the extra HP. But I am a hypocrite because I just checked and my Ares is +Atk/-HP. If I can pull a -Res one, I think that would be preferred.
Two points:
- at +10, I consider 37 spd to be double-blocking territory with a spd buff except against slow tanks, who will get doubled even without the buff. Plenty of units have spd in the mid to upper 40s at +10.
- if you're merging to +10, I think getting OHKO'd is less of an issue because you gain 4HP as well as 4 res. However, if it's still a concern, drop spd or def.
