Alright, I finally have a moment to sit down and ask the questions about IV choice, SI and my list of units, etc, that have been building up. So, here goes.
1. I pulled a +SPD Inigo, however, he is -DEF, with a stat line of 38/40/37/19/20. So far I've built him as a support character, with Triangle Adept, Moonbow, Gale Dance, Hone Attack and one of the Fortify seals. So far he's paired with my Tharja for use in my bladetome team. (along with Nino and Delthea.) Is it worth giving him Gronnraven with 19 defense? Or should I sacrifice my Summer Elise to give him the Hibiscus Tome for even more of a buffer role?
2. The aforementioned Summer Elise. She's my only one, but her IV's are really bad (-SPD +HP) and I already have a pretty optimal Nino. So, I could either keep her (she is my only one), give her tome to Inigo, or give someone else her G. Tome Valor skill.
3. Hector! I have two. One with +DEF -ATK, and one with +RES -DEF. I generally use the +RES one, since I often use him as ranged bait, which means mages. They used to be in my Armor Team along with Effie and Zephiel. However, with the introduction of BK and Arden, and the new ranged armor units, I will, at most, really only want one on the team at a time. Is it optimal to give distant counter away? If so, from who? Also, to who? +ATK -HP Effie, +ATK -HP B!Ike, Neutral, Normal Roy, Arden, +DEF -SPD Axura, etc.
4. I have two Ninians. One, +HP -SPD with Light Breath+, Iceberg, Fury, Swordbreaker and her dragon buffs with a statline of 45/40/33/26/30, and the other a +DEF -SPD. Should I merge one into the other for a point in SPD and HP, or should I give the dragon buff to one of the dragons in my dragon team (+RES - ATK Fae, +SPD -DEF Y. Tiki, or +SPD -RES F. Corrin? Hone SPD, Hone ATK and Threaten Res respectively.)
5. I have one Cain, only one. (*sobs*) I can either give Wings of Mercy to +ATK - HP Lyn, and have the Brash Assault seal on her for teleporting crazyness, to my +DEF -SPD Axura, or to neutral Reinhardt for arena shenanigans. Or an armored unit for fun times.
6. Effectively neutral Reinhardt. (Meaning not + or - ATK.) I have no B slot skill, and Vantage is not really great on him since if anything is attacking him, he's toast. Should I put WoM on him, (as mentioned above) a Lancebreaker (I hate inheriting from GHB units and I don't think it's necessary) or Cancel Affinity on him?
I think that's all? I dunno, sorry for the long post, any thoughts on these units and inheritance options are appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
