I wanna do something dumb

I have 150k feathers, *edit* CLOSE counter available for fodder...

Name some random builds with non "popular" merge projects. Im looking for ideas like raigh or someone that could actually be useful, but doesnt get the love that other units do.

Mage-tank Florina.

Edit: Oh, CLOSE Counter? Okay then....

You can do a Close Counter Absorb+ Healer, or an Owltome+ mage

Berkut's Lance DC Jagen?

Subaki

Choose the character of your next summon!

Not gonna lie.. i kinda like this idea

(If i summon henry/odin im out tho hahah)

Just watch, now you'll actually get lucky with the RNG and pull a really good 5 star with great IV's or something preventing you from turning this into a "dumb" merge project lol.

Defensive Counter 1 Star Hana

In voting gauntlet I saw a +9 CC Clarisse's Bow Virion that looked interesting.

Want to go savage vantage? Idea was popularized (and possibly invented) by YouTuber Lu Bu Feng Xian.

wrathful pain+
martyr+ (or any other healing assist if you want to make sure you stay in vantage range)
miracle
close counter
vantage
savage blow
savage blow

Pain+ someone and get yourself into vantage range. Dance and pain+ someone else to get them all to like 1HP. Vantage kill everybody because even a raven tome user will have a hard time avoiding 1 damage.

Should be pretty good on Elise. Genny can do it, but might be tricky getting into vantage range with her spd and def. Lucius, scary because of thin physical bulk, but probably has the speed to deny a double, especially with a hone. Serra and Lachesis might also pull it off.

Similar:

Felicia, +atk -def
Felicia's plate +eff
(any assist, as team requires)
Growing wind (or any other AoE)
Fury or close counter
vantage
C and S are variable - atk smoke, savage blows, hardy bearing, spd ploy, even atk+3, lots of choices

Get a teammate to give her an atk hone or tactic. Charge on any mage, then splash everybody with adaptive damage. Vantage killing ensues.

Another idea:

Sophia -HP +atk, def, or res. don't dump speed or Reinhardt will quad her
Rauthrowl, Candelabra, or Keen Rauthrwolf
(assist, as team needs)
Bonfire/iceberg
Close counter, or anything - fury, stances, atk/def bond, distant/close def, fortress def/res
Quick riposte (or wrath, and put QR in the seal)
C and S are flexible - distant def, close def, ploys, deflect magic to really screw Reinhardt, anything.

If you go double distant D, I think she tanks even Reinhardt without buffs as long as you use keen wolf tome to shut down hone cavalry. B.Lyn gets wrecked too.

Can do the same build with Boey, then I'd definitely suggest CC+bonfire.

Along somewhat similar lines:

Jakob -HP +spd (or def or res)
Rogue dagger+ +spd (or def or res, your choice, but you want to double on enemy phase)
(assist, as team requires)
Bonfire, ignis, or aether, to taste
Close counter
Windsweep/watersweep
Atk smoke
Spd smoke (or savage blow)

Initiate. You now have 31/30 defenses and they're short 7 atk, so it's like 38/37. Whittle them all down with 41 atk while they are out 6 points of def.

One more for the men:

Bartre -HP +atk or +def

Slaying axe +atk or +def
Reposition
Ignis
Fury 3
Vantage
(team buff, atk/spd smoke, whatever)
Deflect melee

Initiate on any melee opponent, get doubled back, take little damage on their second attack. Vantage ignis them on their turn, or get danced and ignis them immediately. Probably even reds won't survive. Got this idea, I think from Omni H on YouTube, who did it with Michalis (who does it better because his weapon can get +10 damage on a special)

alternatively:

based on an attempt to get some satisfaction for pulling a +spd W.Chrom
Bartre -HP +spd
Slaying axe or slaying hammer +spd
reposition
Galeforce
Life and death 3
desperation
panic ploy (or as team requires)
Heavy blade

Play with B.Lucina (default weapon and C-skill) or Marth with drive spd and effect refine on weapon. Chill spd would be really nice too. I'll assume Marth because he's easier to merge, and I'll assume drive atk seal.
Stats at 5*+0: HP51, 55 (34+14+5) / 43 (29+3+5+5) / 28 (33-5) / 8 (13-5)

If you want more speed, get teammate with hone spd / spd tactic (but Bartre and Marth will be 2 infantry, so rest of the team must be other movement types). Same applies to attack.

If you don't like galeforce, glimmer is good too, or draconic aura with the slaying axe.

Alternatively, to celebrate the demotion of Ares and the ability to harvest his A-skill without giving up 20k feathers:

Bartre -HP +atk
Slaying axe +atk or +def
Reciprocal aid
Glimmer
Brazen atk/def
Desperation
Threaten def (or whatever the team needs)
Brash assault

Find a way to get below 26HP, perhaps by baiting someone and hitting them with glimmer for a OHKO. Brash assault + desperation glimmer RAWR.

Having a bit too much fun here.

Seliph -HP, +atk
Divine Tyrfing
Reposition
aether
Warding breath
Wrath
Threaten def (or whatever the team requires)
Deflect magic

NB I drummed this up on my own, but then I checked the page and somebody has already suggested pretty much this.

Bait a mage, probably even Reinhardt. Unleash aether on some unsuspecting victim, healing a lot. Repeat.

Ive been looking at a tanky sophia for a while now... I dont quite have the right IVs for it, but shes definitely on my radar. She can definitely be a nightmare to a lot of matchups

Use Fir. Fast with high res, good weapon, and a superboon atk, which you will DEFINITELY need.

Not sure if it could actually be useful, but I'd say Sully. She gets so little love that she doesn't even appear in memes...
