Experience with A!Tiki

So I've been hoarding A!Tiki for a while now and I have nine copies of her. I would like to start a merge project with her, but I noticed that her optimal skills are all pretty rare. I've never pulled any Breath fodder before, even my +7 Nowi is still using Fury. So I'm wondering, is it worth it to invest 180k feathers into someone that needs all those rare skills? Oh and if so, maybe send your builds my way?

There's a huge difference between fury Nowi and steady breath Nowi. I don't know how well fury Nowi will take multiple opponents, but I would expect her performance to suffer a lot once her QR is down, and it will fall easily due to the recoil damage. Steady breath Nowi is quite hard to take down without bold fighter if she's using +spd. Even if her QR falls, she doesn't take too many hits and she can probably aether back every other opponent and keep her nose above water.

A.Tiki is slow and can achieve very high levels of def, so the difference is even greater. If you can keep your QR, you can keep on fighting; if your QR falls, you're just going to take tons of hits and aether will take forever to charge.

if you want a lower investment A.Tiki, use an atk boon, Breath of Fog+eff with glimmer, vantage, and any of death blow, brazen atk/def, or heavy blade as an A-skill. (Yes, heavy blade. She can hit 59 atk unbuffed even if her A-skill doesn't give her a boost.) Pavise can also be considered with heavy blade if you use deflect melee, but it's not as good unless she receives an infantry pulse.

My Fury Nowi is +SPD, and with her weapon refined for SPD, she has 39 speed, so I just run Fury + Vantage on her. She's using HB 3 seal for Aether charge (though with 52 attack, it's pretty iffy AND I'm also running her alongside Brave Veronica so it's really a non-issue to keep her alive. But that's the thing, I can't really pull the same thing for A!Tiki so that's where the dilemma is coming from. And thanks for the build!

A +Spd, speed invested Nowi is viable as mixed phase so doesn't need a breath skill. Tiki can only work enemy phase and so works best with Steady/Warding Breath and QR with Aether for healing. She is worth it, I recently completed my +10 and she takes so much punishment with 50 Def and Aether boosting damage and healing.

Very nice (and terrifying) build. But that's the problem, I don't have a Breath fodder, and if I do, I'll definitely give it to Nowi first, since she's already up to +7. Maybe I'll go with the budget option from Seeker until I get Breath fodder (assuming I'm going through the plan of building her)

Nowi can work well without it but if she's your focus then go for it. You may and up with glut of Brave Ike, I hadn't seen any since his initial banner then got 2 in the same circle on L!Hector's banner (all I got on that one) and a surprise one on another banner the same month.

Finish Nowi first, but definitely build Tiki some day. You want a +Res/-Spd Tiki for best results.

She is one of my best units. And Steady/Warding Breath makes a huge difference.

Legendary and Brave Ike are both on the upcoming legendary banner. You should be able to get one of those two with a handful of orbs. Just cross your fingers that you don't get goosed by a Tharja or a Sharena.
