Hoshidan Micaiah +hp -res

YESSS!!!! I finally got Micaiah!!! I am so happy!! The only sad part is that her boon and bane are not what I was hoping for. Is there a way to make her work efficiently?

Even with a res bane, she can still completely wreck cavaliers and armors. She has 31 base resistance, and most of the foes that she's effective against don't have much resistance compared to her unless built for it (which is hardly ever).

Well, that's mostly dependent on you. You can still run Ploys on her, if that's what you're worried about, and you can have an ally increase her resistance with something like Fortify Resistance, or Res Tactic.

She hasn't lost any atk, and as I pointed out in another question, she crushes her most important matchups even with an atk bane (Zelgius, any green armour except maybe Sheena, Ares, Swordhart).

I'd be more concerned about the res bane if you're trying to use a QR iceberg strategy against red and green mages. The extra HP will help compensate just a little bit, but the IV is very slightly bad for this purpose.

Ploys are an interesting question. She can still hit Zelgius, Hector, etc. but she doesn't need to ploy them for res. There are lots of mages she won't be able to ploy, especially the ones she would most need to ploy, which means I don't think res ploy is good on her anymore. If you still want to spd ploy to hit Karla and non-fury Ishtar so your teammates her deal with them, it could still work. Pretty much all the hyper-speedsters will get hit by 31 res except +10 fury Nino.

Nah, I'll mostly be using her on armor and cavalier units, so the QR strategy is going to be put off until I get better iv's. I'll mostly use what the recommended build calls for in her database. I'll still go for the ploys, but I'll probably use another unit on mages Micaiah can't take out.
