Best IVs of these options for Halloween Jakob?

So I'm trying to get an extra H!Sakura, and while I didn't get her, I did get my first summoning round where I pulled 3 5-stars. Two H!Jakobs and a H!Nowi. I already had them, but still no ideal IVs. The Nowi was the same IVs as the one I already had, but the Jakobs were different, so I need to choose. I'm planning to merge, so which of these options should I keep?

neutral
+HP / -Spd
+Atk / -Res

I'm guessing the +Atk one? If so, should I do something to make up for the Res bane or not worry about it too much?

+hp -spd. His speed is his worst stat and not really necessary with wary fighter, vengeful fighter, or bold fighter. Also you want to keep his bulk as high as possible. He is a very good tank for a ranged armor unit, sporting good hp def and res.

+Atk/-Res is better. His Res is still decent at 29.

Unless you have some kind of enemy phase/guard bow build in mind.

Since foddering a 5-star for their weapon is expensive, I usually try to use a unit's default weapon. I've only got a couple (out of like 150 or so) that have an inherited 5-star weapon. So stats/builds with the default weapon in mind is definitely preferred.

Yeah... he is not very good with his default weapon. If you have Bold Fighter, it is definitely worth it to give him Brave Bow+. Otherwise, close counter/Guard Bow is pretty good too.

If you are not interested in giving him an optimal build, then why do you even care about !V's? Just get him to level 40 and move on with your life?

Brave bow/boldfighter likes attack, and tbh doesn't care too much about the bane. Only gonna be taking 1 hit at most 99% of the time.

On the other hand, the +hp/-spd doesn't stop you running BB/BF, but also opens you up to using a lot of other builds.

Maybe keep both, and build them differently, with different blessing so you can use them in different game modes. Can always merge them together later (they will keep all their skills and stuff)

Merge the other into +Atk. I'm glad I found this thread so I can give advice from someone who actually uses him. I have +Atk-Def and he works amazing with the player phase build. IMO the other build is really not worth it at all because you can already do it on every other armored in the game, but worse because the other units have more stats.

Your dump stat doesn't matter nearly as much as your Atk boon. +HP-Spd may as well be neutral ivs. +Atk makes him able to solo Abyssal maps better. Don't try to make up for this bane just oost his attack stat further by running more drive attacks or hone armor on your team depending on what he's doing.

Thanks for the advice; it is good to hear from someone who uses him, since I rarely use him. Except now that I have a better one at +3 than I did before, I'll probably use him more.
