Just Looking for a Progress Report on Sunshine

Soleil is here and *hopefully* going to be my 1st +10.....someday.....if she ever comes home again. She's supported by Brave Lucina and they really, REALLY are a great pair.

The plan eventually would be to have Wrath and Atk Smoke in her B and C slots. Could go wrath now, but would rather wait a bit. Mostly I wanted to go something different than Player-phase Firesweep with her. Compared to my other favorite girl Lucina, her bulk in def and res is.....pretty damn high. Being a fan of mixed-phase units like Zelgius or Lucina or Joshua or Nephenee, I thought this build would be a fun way to keep her bulk and fully utilize her on both phases.

Now I know what you want to type. No. Stop it. No. She can't have the Heavy Blade seal. Until Flashing Blade as a seal drops, that's Lucy's. And to be honest, I've had Heavy Blade as the A slot with her since I summoned her in December and never found myself wanting it to be anything else.

So this is my slaying angel with her +Spd/-Hp IVs and a mixed-phase build. Love using her so much and the build really works. Any thoughts, folks? Critiques? Would appreciate the feedback!

Honestly, she works fantastically well with her Firesweep sword, given a Swift Sparrow/Death Blow/Darting Blow in A, Swordbreaker in B (since they're the fastest units typically), and pretty much anything in C. That's what I run mine with and she's untouchable (with Darting Blow, that is).

I mean, it's a decent build, but Soleil comes equipped with a fantastic weapon anyways, so I don't see myself ever trading it off for anything else.

Good luck with getting her to +10!

EDIT: And if you do go with Atk Smoke in her C skill, that would make keeping Fsweep pretty handy for enemy phase turns. :)

Oh for sure. Her base kit was amazing already. I just felt like being different. : P

It is good to know though that I still have Firesweep if I ever need to switch back. Thanks for the input!

I think units like Soleil with the increased BST + a nice stat spread work pretty well with having skills like Heavy Blade in the A slot. It gives her nice offensive pressure with a high time on critical skills like Aether and the Wo Dao certainly makes it hit even harder.

I... can't really think of any ideas to improve her that you haven't said alread. Wrath + Atk Smoke will certainly make her an Army of One! She looks great!

Thank you! That's the idea if we get that far with her. She likes having Brave Lucina beside her now, but if I can get the Atk Smoke on her, she can extend a bit more safely; staying inside Spur range for max effect. But I have only 1 Brave Lyn, so that's currently on hold. ?

I f*cking love this build - it’s awesome! And you’ll get her to +10 I’ve no doubt, 4* Soliels will pop up here and there and she might even be on the next 4*/5* banner.
I’m quite impressed you’ve kept her bulk, most people sacrifice it for speed and strength but it just makes her more squishy on enemy phase when if she’s exposed she gets destroyed. Wrath would be a good shout and maybe close defence 3 seal if you want to give her some more bulk, but +3 atk adds to heavy blades might.

Thanks bud! That was the plan to keep her bulk a bit, let her excel on both phases. Trying to find the balance between the bulk and firepower currently. If I ever get Atk Smoke from an extra Brave Lyn, solves the issue a wee bit. But still need my lone Lyn currently for PonyExpress. :( Maybe if I get lucky, one day she can join Ike on the frontlines in Domains? : D

Then again, would help to pull her on her focus banner as a 4-star. 75 orbs and not one sunshine to brighten the day. Sadness......

You’ll get her, she’ll pop up as a 4* on other banners, but I’d recommend saving some orbs for the next 4* focus in case she’s on so you can go hell for leather on reds. And she can join the front lines any day my friend ?

Haha. 125 orbs right now (took a little out of my good paycheck just so I won't be tempted later). At this point, I'm just looking for banners with her or the Lucina trio. 2 Rob's in the barracks could get him to +7, but he can wait a bit. Want to get Sunshine there first.

And I appreciate the encouragement and praise, but I don't know if she's quite up to par with Ike, Michalis, Sheena, Lucina, Nephenee or the others yet. Hopefully soon! Then I'll have to make the tough choice of Brave Lucy or Soleil being the lead....

Gotta say, I'm pretty jealous. Soleil is an absolute beast and this build brings out the best of her, amazing offenses and surprisingly solid bulk thanks to her speed, sustain with Aether/heavy blade, very versatile unit that works both player + enemy phase with this build. Really can't say anything bad about it, other than maybe replacing A-slot down the line with Distant Counter, though it'd probably work better once you get Wrath on her so you won't require heavy blade. Overall, nice job!

Thank you! If I manage to pull a spare Hector or two down the line, she's definitely getting DC. Lucy got the 1st spare, Soleil will get the 2nd. That probably won't be her normal set-up, but would lend to some cool soloing map videos, I bet. :)

Heyy, your girl came home!
I really like that build! Well sophisticated and for sure very effective. I like to see somebody else who cares for defenses. A +Res refinement would increase this even further, but anything has limits, has it?

I actually have a little idea. You could go for Spd Smoke on C and Atk Smoke for Seal (always wanted to see that combo, not to mention that it increases your score even further).

Atk Smoke enables Heavy Blade and Spd Smoke kicks her up into the very highest Spd Tier, so that even the fastest have to fear doubles from her, without seeing her in need of support. Although my Liv will always help out with Drive Spd of course ; )

That's actually something to consider trying. Hadn't thought about stacking the smokes! Hmmmm.....guess I need to up and fodder Evil Pineapple. Thanks for the idea, friend! Would love to get her out next to your Olivia sometime.

Have a favor to ask, if anyone on my friends' list has a few minutes over the next day or so.

If I switched a few skills and put Soleil in the lead, would anyone mind trying her out in Domains, letting me know if she holds up comparatively? I'd like to throw Spd Smoke on her tonight to try out. She's been fine for me. Just curious if anyone else would have thoughts.

Just if you had some time.

I'd love to take her out for a spin on Rival Domains, I'll let you know how she performs!

Thanks bud! Give me like an hour to level up and fodder Tacomeat.edge, and I'll switch her to the lead for a bit. Appreciate it!

Yeah, I can wait for Betrayal to die :)

He is betrayal, and he has been eaten. She should be good to go. Thanks and I appreciate it, friend! Let me know if you like the kit por favor!

Ok, so I just took her into Rival Domains: and she performed like a champ.

So, a bit of background first: her team consisted of 4 greens, 2 reds, and 2 colorless units (I know, no blue, but it was fine). Alongside her, I also borrowed Michalis from TY and Brave Ike from Arcane. I put my Savage Blow 6 + Gravity+ Genny on the team, as well as Sothe, so there was some mass debuffing and chip damage happening. Rounding out the team was my standard build Nino, budget PA!Azura (TA + WoM), and Legendary Ike with QR in B-slot and Infantry Pulse in C-slot.

Now that the team comp is done, she performed quite well. I was holding the left fortress with her, Sothe, and Arcane's Brave Ike, when I slipped up, causing Sothe to get nuked by a Mathilda and Brave Ike to get double teamed by Myrrh and a Palla. Soliel, however, escaped and was able to take down a few attackers in the process, with a combination of Aether proc off Vantage, repeated numerous times. All in all, quite solid, and she has the attack to reliably pull of the Heavy Blade quite well!

Nice! Really appreciate the rundown Assix! And obviously appreciate you taking the time out to try her in the field.

Out of curiosity, how did Spd Smoke perform on her? Worth the slot?

I didn't really notice it, tbh. Most of the units I was running her with were already super fast, were taking a support role (dancer and healer), or had QR. I'd say if it works for you, keep it!

I really appreciate the feedback, everyone. Glad to see my girl is looking good to most eyes and the idea for Atk Smoke seems solid. If Meny pops in at some point with a meme, then all would be right with the world. Haha.

I'll leave her as the lead for a bit tomorrow. If anyone feels compelled to try her in Domains and has a summary, would love to hear it. Thanks as always good friends!
