How would you build a +Res / -Def H! Mia?

According to her hero page, going with ploys are suggested. I don't have access to Wrathful staff, so I guess being a killer is out of the question for her (weapon penalty). I have inherited +2 Atk / Res for her already, though it is subjectable to change.

What build would you find most efficient for her? (+Res / -Def)

Btw, one quick question: Can a ploy work with buffs from allies? For ex. H! Mia receives +6 resistance from an ally bumping her Res to 37. In her cardinal direction, an opponent stands there with 34 Res. Will her ploy be able to activate on her opponent?

Ploys act before buffs, so you can only use your plain Res in order to ploy. Buffs can however help you prevent an enemy ploy since you have the increased Res when the enemy phase starts.

No, visible buffs (like fortify, res tactics, wave skills, etc.) happen after Ploys at the start of the run.

And as someone who has +spd/-def H!Mia and no Wrathful/Dazzling B as well, Wings of Mercy and Live to Serve are some alternatives that work well.

So in conclusion, ploys only involve the raw Res of both the targets and the unit with the ploy?

It involves the raw Res of the unit using the ploy. No buffs or anything are taken into account.

It involves the buffed Res of the targets of the ploy, because buffs last into enemy phase. So if an enemy unit with 30 Res receives a +6 Res buff from Res Tactic during their turn, you would need 37 Res to be able to hit them with the ploy.

Ouch.

Thanks for the clarification!

Same goes for debuffs right? For ex. Chill Res inflicts -7 Res but ploying occurs BEFORE the debuff not taking the -7 Res into account.

A Res + 3 and Fortress Res 3 Seal would mean she gets +8 Res and -2 Atk. So 39 Res. She'll be able to land ploys more likely and tank mage hits in the process. She'll be flying around, healing behind beefed units and debuff the odds to your favor.

What do you guys think?

Doesn't Fortress Res 3 only add 5 Res? And the Atk penalty would slightly reduce the healing amount.

Oh, you're right. She can at least reach a more ok range for ploying at least.

Ploys are definitely an option, especially if you take res+3 in the A-slot. I'd probably do that mainly in mixed teams that don't use tactics. On flier teams, definitely hone fliers + some buff or flier formation seal (or flier formation is also ok in the B-slot if you're not going for wrathful dazzle) or live to serve (which could also go in the B-slot)
