Delthea builds (Bad IVs)

hey guys, I posted yesterday about my 2 horrible IV units, and you guys gave me hope for my +HP/-Spd Delthea, here are some builds for TT and chain missions:

1. Hybrid: Dark Aura/ Miracle or Iceberg/ Draw Back/ Fury 3/ LanceBreak/ Drive Atk2/ QP or HP+3

2. All in Atk: Dark Aura/ Glacies/ Draw Back/ Death Blow 3 or LnD3/ LanceBreak/ Threaten Res3/ QP

3. R.Tome and B.Tome check: Dark Aura/ Iceberg/Reposition/Fury 3 or TA3/ B.TomeBreak/ T.Res3 or D.Atk2/ HP+3 or Res+1

thoughts?

Here would be my suggestion:

Dark Aura/Draconic Aura or Moonbow/Reposition/Death Blow 3/Blue Tomebreaker/Drive Atk 2.

Since she's minus speed, you're going to have to accept that you need a breaker sill against something to get two attacks in. Given the plentiful amount of blue mages in Arena, I'd tend to lean toward Blue Tomebreaker (which also prevents Linde and Olwen from doubling you up). You could also go Red Tomebreaker to secure kills against the likes of Katarina, but red mages are so uncommon in arena. And red sword users by and large have terrible res, so unless you run into a Lloyd, she should get in a OHKO with a bit of buffing. Given she won't be doubling up a ton of units, you should go with something with a low activation cost as something like Draconic Aura is going to take too long to charge.

the thing with Moonbow is that it doesnt secure as many KO's as Iceberg, which I would run with QP tbh

I do run Iceberg on my +Res Delthea, but that's because it's 17 bonus damage as opposed to 15. But as someone who runs Delthea and has the stories to tell of using her, there are so many cases where you're talking about 5-6 HP being the difference between securing a kill on a red in one hit or not. Delthea doesn't double up much even with neutral speed ( +Spd/Fury 3 Delthea just gets to 40 Spd for instance, which is still not enough to double a typical Ryoma for example).

With 50 base attack with Dark Aura and 6 added damage from Death Blow, I think that comes out to about 67 attack power against reds. Vanilla Ryoma for example has 62 effective HP and 65 with Fury 3. So Moonbow is all you really need in that case to deal with any potential buffs he has (unless he's on a defensive tile of course).

Trust me, I would put Moonbow if my Delthea was Arena oriented, but since her IVs are really bad, Im trying to build a PvE build more or less! Example, She can only do 20 to CC Katarina (27 with moonbow/ 35 with Iceberg) if it was my choice, I would put Glacies in a instant, but 4 charges are bad since I cant double most of the cast ;-;
