-hp +spd Nowi viable?

I have a -hp + spd Nowi that I got a long time ago (well actually have 2, but that is besides the point) I was wondering if this optimal, the guides suggest +spd -res which I don't like at all since I think it hurts her dual tanking potential.

Also suggested is -spd +def which I don't have.

I know gamepress guides are not to be taken as the final word, but before I spend 20,000 feathers I want to hear what other people have to say.

Ran some damage calculations and they come about the same (-res nowi has a few more wins, but adding a +3 hp sacred seal to the -hp nowi patches up the loses, and if I gove a +3 res sacred seal to the -res nowi they end up about the same)

+Spd is the worst boon to have and is in fact the best bane... the guides on this site suck balls made by people who apparently don't play the game...

I think the +spd suggestion was from early on in the game. -spd+def works well with the Steady Breath/QR/Ignis setup they have listed. +spd isn't bad, it's just not ideal for that particular setup.

To answer your question though, I think Nowi has a ton of setups that are viable with different IV's. I'd consider Fury to get that speed up even higher

That's the IV I have and it works great.

Getting anybody's speed into the 30-33 range is super helpful in avoiding doubles, since the average speed stat ranges 33-36.

With +Spd -HP, you have the potential to run her with Fury for a decent speed stat of 33.

I'm still experimenting with an A passive for mine - she currently has Triangle Adept, which works great for most things... except that I desperately need her to bait B!Lyn right now, so I'm considering trying Steady Stance or Fury instead.

For B passive, I use Quick Riposte and she rocks with that.

Do you run distant defense 3 seal on her? That should help her tank.
