Flashing Blade on Lucina or Siegbert?

Hey.

So after spending all my F2P orbs (100+) on the cooldown banner, I was presented with.....one singular Mia, who has the worst IVs possible (-SPD +HP)

So instead of screaming and ripping my hair out like I'd like to do, I'm going to make the most of it by sacrificing her to either my +SPD Lucina or Siegbert....who is +HP =(

With a +SPD refinement on Wo Dao or Slaying Edge, Lucina can hit 42 SPD and with a SPD seal, she can reach 45 SPD. Additionally, with the Falchion upgrade, she can get 1 extra point of speed as well as +4 in ATK, DEF and RES.

Siegbert hits 39 SPD due to his weapon and has access to Horse Buffs that can also turn his 39 SPD into 45 SPD. With a SPD seal, he can reach 48.

While Siegbert can potentially have 3 more SPD, Lucina can either have a faster cooldown, +10 damage on her special or +4 to all other stats.

Thoughts?

I would say Lucina, due to being faster then Siegbert, who needs horse buffs to keep up

That was my initial thought as well honestly

Just doesn't seem worth it tbh.

Nothing else to sack Mia for tbh

I would say keep Mia anyways for a later merge, she is still perfectly usable with 37 spd, just give her a Wo Dao+ with spd refine. Lucina nor Siegbert really need Flashing Blade. In fact, the skill really isn't worth using on anyone that isn't Mia, Lucina would likely do better with Heavy Blade SS and a different A slot. Siegbert can run double Swift Sparrow, so he also doesn't need it. Very few characters can actually make use of the skill, and it usually depends on IVs, but if your talking neutral, then Leif could use it, so could Athena and Lon'qu. But I don't know if you have any of them.

My Heavy Blade seal is already permanently occupied by heroes who see way more play time than Lucina ever will so she can't run that build. She's currently got Fury but I've never liked Fury due to the chip damage so I'm looking to replace it.

Sure, Mia is kinda feasible at 37 speed and could go up to 40 spd with a +SPD refinement but that seems like an awful lot of work to make a worst Lucina, who already has higher spd.

If Mia was more common, then keeping her for merges would be viable but she's actually quite rare.

We'll see though, thanks for the insight.

True, Mia is pretty rare, I was very lucky to get a good IV one. I'm guessing your Lucina is +spd then? If so then I guess she could run it, but I didn't even keep the skill on my Mia, due to it being pretty unreliable in general, especially against Emblem teams. But I'm just offering my opinion, whatever you end up doing with her, I hope it works out.

Yeah, she's +SPD, bringing her up to 39, which is only 1 less spd than I neutral Mia. I'm just looking for something relatively unique to do as I'm not really doing anything with my Lucina or Siegbert.

I'd LOVE to have a Mia with even decent IVs because she's so good but -SPD is literately her worse bane and +HP is her worst boon so she doesn't really provide anything that my other red swords don't.

Thanks again for the insight, I'm not too sure what I'll do but I hope it works out too =)

If I were you I'd give FB to Lucina. Then again, I am a Lucinatic so that is to be expected! It looks interesting, and if you don't have a "better" (hmph!) recipient for the skill why not try it?

Of course you could always have her sit on the bench waiting for a possible better IV one but that's kinda boring. ;)
