Eliwood attack buff stacks?

I want to promote a +attack -hp eliwood in a cavarly team for nuking people. But i wonder if durendal stacks with death blow 3? for a +10 attack in total, or does it only stack to max +8 in each stat? in that case death blow 2 would be inferior to swift sparrow which gives +4 att and +4 spd.

I know that hone and goad skills can stack up to 10 attack, will that also stack with durendal and death blow 3( if death blow 3 works) up to additional 10 which would be a total of 20 attack in boost!

It sounds amazing but its probably too good to be true :/ i just want to make Eligood, so got any tips? :D

It will only count the highest ammount of the same buff, so your death blow 3 will negate durandal.

Then i would rather get swift sparrow 2 for additional +4 spd because death blow 2 seems weak. But i have to kill my one and only bunny lucina for this though :/

First of all, swift sparrow is pretty bad when you can just put darting blow for more speed or just a speed+ for permanent speed. Second of all, Eliwood is not worthy of such sacrifice even if swift sparrow was good on him.

dont kill bunny lucina for damn eliwood *OMG* you can either go +3 spd with is only 1 less speed or mostly any other A skill

I encountered a five star Eliwood with Durandal and Death blow 3 once and the Durandal bonus stacks with Death blow. I was quitte surprised to see that as well but I recounted everything and it really did stack.

(And when you think about it, Durandal's +4 bonus becomes a lot less good if it doesn't stack with spur and death blow/swift sparrow skills, so it actually makes sense for it to stack. It would make Durandals effect inferior to other special weapons effects)

In case people are wondering whether death blow stacks with spur/goad and hone/rally, it does. I tested it on my 4 star death blow 3 Klein with a rally attack and a spur attack boost and his attack went up by +14.

(EDIT, could only add one image per comment so I put the other images in replies to this comment with explanation)

In the picture above you can see Klein has 36 atk and death blow 3. In the picture you below you can see Jagen has 29 def.

If spur (Lilina), rally attack (Sharena) and death blow 3 all stack he gets 4 + 4 + 6 = +14 atk raising his total atk to 50. Jagen has 29 def so if it all stacks he should deal 50 - 29 = 21 damage, as can be seen in the picture below

I believe this is all agreed upon but doesn't show that eliwoods weapon passive can be combined with death blow. I believe it's been proven that any weapon buffs that are identical to skills cannot be stacked. Eliwoods weapon is the same as having death blow 2 equipped. So giving him deathblow 3 will override his weapon passive.

It would be like giving Hector quick riposte. But then again lucina can stack renewal. So maybe it does work with Eliwood and deathblow.

All "during in combat" effect stack (spur atk/spd/def/res also stack, ex: spur def 3 + seal spur def +1 also stack)
