IVs for Nowi

My current 5* Nowi is -HP +SPD. I plan on making her +10 eventually. Just yesterday, I got another one that is -SPD +RES. I don't know if and when I will get another BIke for the SB build, but maybe I could build up a somewhat fast Nowi with the +SPD. Which one would be better in the long run? Or should I wait for a -SPD +DEF one?

Nowi needs res to tank Rein and other mages, even more now after the weapon upgrade. She actually wins against plenty of high res mages she could not scratch before. Several guys with +def Nowi reported choosing the +res upgrade. I have a +res/-spd one and chose the +def one. I think both are optimal when building a mixed tank.
Steady Breath builds need -spd. If Nowi is too fast and does not get doubled, Ignis/Aether will not proc, and no kill.
+spd is great iv for Fury builds tho.

Thanks for the input, it just irks me knowing that -SPD Nowi under performs without Steady Breath. I'll probably just stick with the +SPD one. And if I do end up getting another BIke, I could always give it to A!Tiki later on.

There are actually other sites that suggest +spd with Steady Breath builds. I have no idea how they work, prolly Moonbow/Bonfire spam. The weapon upgrade gives +5hp amongst other things, which patches the hp bane. You could do some research, or wait for the builds to be updated, maybe there could be some potential. Personally i think that her speed is too crap to salvage(without Fury and support), but i could be wrong :')

My nowi is +Spd with SB/QR/Aether build.
The reasoning behind it is that its overkill to proc Aether on the same round and you heal minimal amount due to enemy already crippled from your first counter. By not getting doubled, you'll be able to initiate with Aether on the next battle to potentially OHKO and heal massively

The SB build is more defense oriented, so either +Res- spd or +Def-Spd
