How much speed to be top tier?

So I just started getting back Into this game after taking a year off. I've notice lots of changes, particularly the amount of crazy fast units. My question is based on the meta now, how much speed is considered to be top tier and not unnecessary, especially for offensive units?

There's indeed, but you won't see any.
The only reason to get a speedy duelist is to clear PVE contant.
If you look into arena and AR you won't find anything near "top tier fast" or lets say in 10 matches you'll have maybe 1 guy who build a fast unit, but gets covered by 3 other armor units.

I got since I started playing AR, ONLY Armors and Horses let me tell you that.
AR is just another arena where you can fuck the system even harder with turn counts.
Did you never encounter a armor emblem that tried to stall out turns?
If not then lucky you. I got that every single day atleast twice out of my 3 matches.

I have dancing michaia so theyre easy pickings. Probly dont notice them as much as you then.....but ye, ive seen like 3 pr 4 total. Theyre rare for me i suppose

I wish... Armor emblem teams are the easiest to defeat in AR. Arena is another story, since you're limited in the units you can chose in order to score high.

For a fully merged unit 45 spd is the base spd u should be going for.

Take for example: soleil. She has 35 base spd. With +spd, 38. Spd refine, 41. +4 merge, 45. This isnt even a skill and buffs.

U need to hit this number so you can trade blows with other fast units (ayra, LMarth, LEirika, Karla) and play around them.

This is a few months old, but the main change is that the meta is shifting from double-based ORKOs to OHKOs and quasi-OHKOs such as the whitewing weapons and AoE specials.

Spd hasn't been pushed too much higher. Lon'qu, L.Eirika, and Ylgr are the main fast units I can think of that pressure the upper end of the spd spectrum. Lewyn is pretty fast too
