Brave sword+ Mia?

How viable and possibly stupid is that? I mean... given that Mia is the fastest unit in the game, getting a -5 speed won't hurt her a lot, being able to hit 4 times even if it means getting her to a surprisingly low 43 Atk. With the right support, increasing her Atk and Spe, I believe she wouldn't do bad... Now, this is an idea that just popped into my mind. So please answer the first question formulated. How viable or stupid is this?

lmao, with buffs and a teammate running Infantry Pulse,i can see her running an extremely watered down version of the Brave+Bold Fighter Zelgius build by using Brave+Death Blow/SS/LnD+Swordbreaker+Heavy Blade SS and Luna

she'd NEED the buffs to push her over 50 atk tho

I honestly don't think it's that dumb...maybe just overlooked? Thing is, having what is basically a 20 Mt (well, 19 total) Wo Dao...is just really good. Almost too good to pass up. I think a even a -Atk Mia can shred through Fury Nephenee (neutral) with just Luna...that's a pretty silly feat.

There was a time where I would look a lot into quad builds. Last year before powercreep and everything, 38-40 seemed a pretty good number to hit before extra buffs. Neutral Mia is looking at 40 Spd, and she can further improve that with +3 Spd. Hitting low to mid 40's Atk is actually kind of good for quad users, but I don't know if that beats what I said about Resolute Blade.

Neutral Mia with L&D and Heavy Blade looks really formidable.

Well, it isn’t a bad idea, but I think she still prefers her own legendary weapon, since most of her damage comes from her specials and her ability to double almost anyone; with a brave sword, she not only loses her wo dao effect, but also 11 attack points per hit. White she would be able to patch it up a little with l&d, I think it’s not worth it.
I would recommend going for brave sword soleil instead, since her base attack is way higher, which compensates for the possibility of not always doubling.

That 43 Atk is assuming that she is an unmerged Mia with +Atk, right? In that case, she will only have 35 spd with the Brave Sword + equipped. Which is not bad, sure, but she won't be able to double on a lot of units. And will perform really bad in the enemy phase. It's viable as long she receives a lot of both atk and spd buffs, but that would require building your team around it... And she would still not perform as well as Elincia or an H. Jakob with Bold Fighter.

Now compare that with her default weapon, which gives her an offensive spread of 54/40 and +10 damage when special triggers.

L&D isn't farfetched, which would put her at 45 Atk/40 Spd before a Seal. If you can get an Hone + Drive Atk support partner, that adds up to 8-9 Atk. Reason I mention this is because you could possibly pull off a Heavy Blade build with it.

Report

Hone + Drive Atk means +7 Atk. To get her to +9 Atk, you would need to use Atk Tactic + Drive, or multiple allies with Drive. Even so, she would still have a 54/40 offensive spread. (exactly the same as an unbuffed Mia using her legendary weapon) Which, as I said previously, is viable... Just not as good as any high attack armored unit with Bold Fighter (or Elincia).

Plus, it would greatly reduce her versatility and make her really bad in the enemy phase.

Honesly +spd soleil would be better.

Her offensive stat spread is 1 point above her. And spd issues can be overcome with brash assault.
