Is it worth merging a dagger unit?

My Saizo is probably my strongest hero. In arena he’s a main staple of my team. He’s my Brave Lyn counter, he can rebuff and take on enemies well, he does a lot for my teams. I don’t run anything like horse emblem or armor emblem so my arena teams are mostly mixed-infantry teams.

I know ranged users and daggers especially have low BST and are bad for arena scoring. I was wondering if merging Saizo to +10 would help that? I’m in tier 19 and wanna hit tier 20 and I don’t have any supermerged units to raise my score enough to get into tier 20 and stay. My arena score is normally about 690 per match.

If I don’t merge Saizo I’d probably invest those feathers into fae or maybe Sheena

If you want to improve your arena scoring, +10 Saizo will not make much difference but a +10 Fae or Sheena will bump your score quite a bit

Merging Saizo to +10 will give you exactly the same amount of points over an unmerged Saizo as merging Fae or Sheena will over their unmerged versions.

Merges and skill SP cost have a much larger impact on arena score than a unit's BST. The difference between Shigure, the lowest BST unit in the game, and Hardin, the highest BST unit, all else held equal, is 16 points, or, averaged over your team, 4 points. The difference between any +0 unit and their +10 counterpart is, by comparison, 40 points.

You might not be able to reach the absolute highest rank in tier 20 with a +10 Saizo on your team, but any three fully built +10 units and a fully-built bonus unit should still be enough to remain in tier 20.

That said, 690 points per match is still a long way from being able to stay in tier 20. Increasing Saizo to +10 will bring you to 700 points per match, but these days you're likely to need at least 720 or so (and more while Fjorm is a bonus unit).

When it comes to merging units (to me), u shouldn’t merge units to +10 because they are incredibly powerful but instead merge them because u like them and like using them. (Basically merge him if u like him more then Sheena and stuff)
