Boey, 4*+10 or 5*+4?

Hi Guys,
I haven’t done really any merge projects to date and realise if I want to get into the top Tiers of the Arena (Current ceiling is Tier19) I need to get going on some merge projects.

As it stands, I was uneducated early on and have a stack of high merge 4*’s.
Eg:
Cain 4*+9
Cecilia 4*+7
Catria 4*+6
Boey 4*+6

I have 4 x 4* Boeys spare too. Multitude of IV’s as well.

My question is - am I better off promoting and merging them into a 5* merge or just creating a 4*+10?

I’m no rush so I can take the long route and produce the 5* merge - I have a CC fodder for him too.

What are his best IV’s to begin the merge and what is his most useful IV’s for arena mode? What is a great skill set to build him with for sustained success?

From my research he seems to be a strong unit in both player and enemy phase given his strong defence.

Sorry for the multi question post - but I’ve wasted enough units without knowing how best to proceed and some guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!

With only 4, you'll get +3. Really depends on how many you usually get and how much you're willing to invest into him. If you want to +10 him as a 5*, then I'd start doing so now. If you just want to use him as an additional unit that isn't apart of your Arena team, I'd just stick with +10ing him as a 4*. You say you're in no rush, so I'd suggest sticking with 4* Boey for now.

CC is definitely the way to go with Boey since his defenses. I have never used him myself, so I can't say for sure on what's better than what, but I'd imagine sticking with his strong suit, which is defense.

Side Note: While you have merged a bunch of your units, they aren't bad by any means. A 4* +10 with their 5* weapon is considered half a merge less than 5* +5 (According to how the Arena's score is based around), but has the exact same stats. Those units will come in handy when they show up as bonus characters.

Ahhh ok nice. Sorry I didn’t communicate it effectively - I have a 4*+6 Boey and 4 x extra 4* Boeys. I was considering promoting the 4*+6 as well meaning I’d have 5 in total.

I think a +Def/-something IV would be the one to use in a 5* merge. It feels like every 2nd or 3rd green summon I do I pull a Boey so I might start investing the feathers as I want to use him virtually exclusively in the Arena to try reach a higher tier.

I’m going to have a look in previous questions to see what builds have been most effective for other players. I did not know they scoring was so similar when a 4*+10 merge. I have been considering the use of this CC for about 2 months now and I think I’m settled on Boey as I have the assets to make it work and enough duplicates to build him up.

I am leaning more towards using him as a 5* unit just for his usefulness in the long run. I just checked and I have 2 x 3* Boey’s too and a buttload of feathers which should help fastrack a 5* merge.

The only decent merges I have running at present in 5* are:
L!Robin +4 (+Spd/-HP)
Brave Lyn +2
Nowi +2 (+Def/-Spd) (going to get her to +10 as well)
And a stack of 5*+1’s.

If you're building them for your core then you need them at 5*, otherwise you can keep them at 4*

You want a team of 5* + 10's for tier 20+. You don't need them all the be +10, and you will probably make it into T19.5 after a few merges on a good team.

Why Boey? If you like him and want to use him, that's great, go for it. Just know that it might take some heavier investment. He is in the 145-149 BST bin with no way to move up. He also isn't the best user of expensive skills like Galeforce and Aether that bump up your scoring. I have a 5* +1 Boey and to be honest, he is pretty bad. He has no prf weapon refine yet to patch him up and his defenses aren't that great when you consider that he is going to be getting doubled a lot, often without being able to retaliate.

The best f2p friendly units to start merging for arena are Wendy, Sheena, Soleil, Nowi.

I have been reading a fair bit about CC users and thought Boey would be a strong starter as I have multiples of him and he has strong defence.

Oh ok. I have a 5* Sheena but only 1 x 4 to work through.

I have only 2 x 4* Soleil’s and nothing built on them yet.

What about Raven for a green user? I have a 5*+1 already & 4 x 4*’s to promote. Thoughts?

Raven is a good choice for a merge project. Make sure you have one that is +Atk or +Spd as your base for the +10. He scores okay in the arena but besides that he is an extremely high powered offensive unit. Not a good choice for weakening foes for bonus unit kills, but a good unit to use if you just want to get some wins.

My Raven is +3 and he can kill just about anything, even some reds. I mostly use him for Arena Assault and PvE. He is especially powerful with dancer support.

Ahh nice. My raven that is +1 is +Atk so it’s a good start there.

I loved him in FE7 so promoted him to 5* quick smart. His refine with LnD looks like the best refine especially since I have a strong Lene who has a refined Safeguard too.

I’ll get started on that one and hang onto the CC fodder for a better unit. Thanks for the advice!
