IVs don't always matter...
Answers
I know she has the highest BST. But 214 is just really damn high nevertheless. My highest other than Amelia is 186 on Effie, and she uses HP +3 seal. All of her stats are crazy, she counters Reinhardt and Brave Lyn, she's just stupidly strong. I was just trying to point out that nobody should be sad about bad IVs on units like Amelia, since they can still work just as well.

Effie isn't gaining 15 BST from Fury nor the 15 from summoner support either however. Without adding support buffs cuz not everyone wants that on Amelia specifically her BST isn't quite as high and the ivs can matter depending on how exactly hey wanted to build her if anything (fury and speed boon gets 49 spd for a funny desperation build) but yea she's an outlier and many other units even the brave heroes can suffer from poor ivs. Roy with an attack bane is likely the worst if the four though as Lucina can live with a bane almost anywhere and anyone smart used their free summon for a neutral Lyn. Ike was also sort of uncaring for iv based on his default build as well.

Fury gives +12 BST instead of 15, Summoner Support gives +13 and not 15 either. What I was trying to say tho is that while IVs are annoying, the character matters more. Especially high tier characters like Amelia are flexible and have many different builds, so they are not as heavily influenced by bad IVs. A -Spd or -Atk Amelia is still more viable than a perfect IV low tier. I've heard stories about f2p players sending home their Ryomas just because of their IVs, and with this post I was trying to deter people from doing that.
Also, only because you didn't choose Lyn doesn't mean you're not smart. If you have a merged Bridelia but your green units suck, go with Ike. If you really love Lucina, go with her.

They don't always matter for sure, but when they do, it really sucks. My two -SPD Amelias really hurt because of it. Some of the Banes are way to punitive when received as compared to others, SPD is the worst of them for just about any unit (Effie and crowd excluded). ATK is a fairly distant second, depending on the unit again. Third is so very far behind those though, and it is a shame.

Lower HP actually helps because of the many skills that work when your HP are lower, so one Ardent Sacrifice can activate them. As for your Amelias, that really sucks, I guess you could try Darting Blow and/or Hone Spd on a team mate. She's still gonna hit hard and tank well. You can still build a great Amelia thanks to her huge BST and armor buffs. Lower tier units suffer more from bad IVs. I for example got a -Spd Rebecca that ruined my pity rate on the Brave Banner. Rebecca needs that speed, without it, she is much much worse; on top of that she is infantry, which means you can't buff her quite as well. Amelia on the other hand is still really useful due to the advantages I listed above. Tldr; Lower tier units are more affected by bad IVs, the character matters more.

+Res isn't even as bad, and especially if you can heavily amp it with an S-support and Fury and amazing stats all-around to boot. At first sight, I actually almost thought she was +Spd.
Amelia isn't the best of characters to base IVs on.
Similiarly, I've had this -Atk Charlotte for ages and only recently started being quite proud of what she can do with my S-support.
