+Def vs +Spd Nowi

Which Nowi would be better to keep? They're both -Res. I'm leaning towards keeping the +Def one.
Also, would it be better to refine her Lightning Breath+ to +Res to make up for the Res superbane, as her Def is already high?
Thanks.

There’s 1 of 2 ways to do this.

1: if you chose the speed refinement, you could boost her speed to unnaturally high levels (40 at the minimum) if you speed refine her breath, among doing other things. But you’d want a different bane (-hp would not be bad) at some point.

2: if you went defense boon, refine for defense and merge later into a +def-hp Nowi.

Either way, work with what shines on her.

Starting from the top: Speed bane is always bad on Nowi. It flips a lot of armor match ups and makes her always lose to Alm. Health is her preferred bane but resistance is plenty good. As for the boon, there are three good options: Attack, Speed, and Defense.

Speed conflicts with Steady Breath (her best A-skill) but gives her a stronger player phase. Attack works well with Quick Riposte but defense gives her a lot of insurance against brave attackers who would instead get deleted with Aether (for a net overall health advantage).
