Gratia+ on H!Jakob

Can anyone give any input on how good this sounds? I've got a spare -RES/+HP LA!Roy that I'm thinking of foddering off to my +ATK/-RES H!Jakob.

Both remove buffs in their own ways, except Gratia+ IGNORES ranged buffs DURING combat, while Monstrous Bow+ REVERSES buffs AFTER combat.

If this sounds like a bad idea, could anyone tell me what two stats LA!Roy gets an increase for during merge +1?

its not a horrible idea, but you would usually want something like guard bow instead since he is mainly enemy phase and the extra Def/Res really helps.
Also as a side note, if you are inheriting death blow as well, might as well sack a hawkeye for death blow 2 then get death blow 3 using roy, incase you ever want to use brave bow, so you dont have to kill a klien

Not sure really. While it does sound good, I think Guard Bow+ might be arguably better since it grants both defense and resistance against ranged foes while Gratia just neutralizes buffs if any are present.

But since it's a battle between Monstrous Bow and Gratia, then I'd personally go with Gratia, but that's just me. Might want more imput.

Well, refined bow, maybe recives a little more damage while attacking, but ploys back on are of the enemies.
Still, for H!Jakob I will always recommend Guard bow, close counter, wary figther, ward armor and close defense SS. (While close counter not really neccesary)
The only other way to play him is brave bow, DB3 and vengeful fighter.
I really don't see other builds on him.

You can figure out which stats will get increased. Just unequip all weapons and skills, then look to see which to stats are the highest for each unit.

You can also go to Merge allies, and press next after selecting the two. It will then take you to a confirmation screen where you can see the stat boost, and you have the option to cancel the merging there.
