Is this Faye viable? (RES+, HP-)

Before using her for Firesweep food (which is a skill none of my units particularly want right now) I'm curious if this nature is worth using on Faye. It seems alright, but at the same time I have many units with a similar job and statline, and the Firesweep weapons are ultra broken. I've got a Neutral Brave Lyn and a SPD+ Summer Gaius with a Brave Bow+ who would love it, but they already both have good weapons. Any tips would be appreciated.

i have a def+spd- faye and i build her to be a ranged bait. using guardbow+ def refine with double distant def3 and QR3. she has 50def/49res when initiated on making either bonfire or iceberg hit pretty dang hard. and since she is very slow she gets doubled most the time making bonfire proc every battle. with a res faye u can make her a iceberg nuker with 55res/44def with my build. tho not many units come with DD3 to fodder......

If anyone wants to pull DD fodder from the current banner, you can expect one in 70-110 orbs even if you get pitybreakers as long as you pull everything except colourless. Never guaranteed, but this is the mathematical expectation

Res or def are counted twice if you get doubled, making them better than HP in that situation.

Faye has potential access to guard bow and double distant def to stack on it.

Can she be a good unit? What do you think? Can she compete with Felicia and Kaze or even Niles using that IV?

thanks to felicias weapon she now has more ways to play giving her a more offensive side. kaze is still meh as daggers are prob the weakest weapon class as of now. niles while has high res and decent spd, lacks atk and def making him very min-maxed. plus the high speed may even prevent enemies double atk. makes procing iceberg or glacies harder with triple DD3. niles would do better with a more player/enemy phase build like slaying bow to help him proc more specials. i think for a infantry archer, faye rocks the best defensive stats both in def and res making it easier for her to tank both physical range and magical range. her low spd gives boosts to other stats making her imo the best tank infantry archer and makes great use of QR3. i like my gurls nice and BULKY

You should probably keep her.
She is RARE!
With those IVs she can run a mean Guard Bow+ build.
Also, she might get an upgraded weapon like Katarina.

Fae isn’t viable. Period. No, I mean, here’s the thing. I’d argue that any unit CAN be viable.
I’ve seen enough videos of wrys owning in tier 20 to acknowledge that. So clearly the tier list isn’t the end all be all. But Faye really isn’t good, and she comes with one of the most valuable skills in the game in her FSweep bow, which she really can’t utilize at all. So I’d say her fodder value is far higher than her gameplay value. Unless you just wanna use her cause you love Faye, which I can relate to. But otherwise, fodder her off to a faster bow user.

i like firesweep bow as well. gave to both Llyn and Blyn. but the one downside i have with sweep weapons are that they are purely player phase weapons. if a bow unit has great spd and atk, brave bow can do the job just fine and is easier to obtain. unless theres another firesweep bow user or faye gets demoted, or really want ur unit to have that bow, theres no rush to fodder her off

Give her guard bow and sacrifice a Celica for her distant defense skill. She can be one of the better defensive archers with quick repost on her, and since she is +Res she can hit a bit harder with Iceberg. Also make sure it’s a Celica you fodder, for the uh, alternate universe flavor
