Est: I want to make her a Speedy Flier. Worth it?

She has a base speed of 30. I have a copy of her with a Spd boon, putting her at 33. And I almost have enough copies to +7 her. I'll obviously +10 her when I get enough copies. With +10, she'd be at 37 spd. And with L/D, she'd be at 42 spd. A speedy armor slayer, and along with the Weapon Triangle, a force not to reckon with, even if it's Surtr.

Has anyone built an Est with +Spd, and would you build her this way? Or is it better to have her at +Atk or +Res instead? I want to build Est to combat armor teams, and she's a cool unit to have as well. I would like your opinion on this.

Given that most foes will fall in two hits, her doubles seem to be less important.
It could work for the enemy phase, but I doubt her player phase will improve that much.

I see what you mean. So, assuming I don't have fliers team with the triangle attack + goad fliers, it only works well in the enemy phase to allow herself to prevent doubles with speedy units. But if I have fliers, then this method of having +spd is useless. Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it.

I wouldn't be too concerned about her spd. The matchups that are most likely to be problematic is stuff like Surtr, where you really want all the atk you can get.

She has 30 spd at neutral, is it? Whitewing spear + double goad is already 41 spd without merges; meanwhile +atk puts her at 65 atk before A-skill. So if she uses death blow 3 it's 71 atk, and we can add a seal and ally support. I think anything that's fast dies to two hits of 71 atk. Maybe my summoner-supported Nowi (+spd) can survive, just barely, especially if I add some buffs of my own, but you won't have to face her because she won't have summoner support if you ever run into her. The majority of enemies that can survive two strikes of 71 will get quadded. The bigger concern would be getting some steady breath ignis coming back at her.

I see. As long as I have goad fliers around her, I don't have to worry about getting doubled and triangle attack with the brave effect would down my opponent before retaliation, meaning she only works on a flier emblem team. Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it.

Just go for twoshots you basically have a 19 Mt brave weapon with armor effectiveness. When you hit shit it's gonna die. You wont kill B!Ike and Helbindi but just about everyone else is going down.
