Laevatein Ivs, -atk?

So I've pulled three Laevatein's this banner, but gotten some iffy IVs
-atk +spd
-atk +hp
-hp +res

obviously the middle one is the worst imo, but which of the other two is best? -hp isn't a terrible bane, although +res is p lame, and while +spd seems like it might be useful with speed buffs, -atk is pretty annoying.

I've heard -atk isn't so bad on blade weapon users, but against defense instead or res it's nice to have still.

Of those choices -ark +spd definitely seems like the best option. I'd suggest levelling her up and see how she performs for you. I think you'll find it's not too bad.

You have an interesting situation there. Laevatein is in an interesting spot because her spd is actually not impressive. It will often suffice for doubling slow units, but she might struggle a bit with fast tanks if they can find 80-ish physical bulk, which often they can. If you pick +spd -atk, you might lock yourself into going hard on her spd (I say might, because she can still achieve more atk on a single hit than probably every sword in the game unless you count stuff like brave sword on +atk Soleil as two hits or double lions).

I like the potential of +spd on her, but I'm not sure if it's for everyone. There's not really an ideal A-skill for her right now because fury kills her sustain (I guess desperation is an option), swift sparrow and darting blow don't work on enemy phase (I guess they're probably her best choices right now), L&D does a number on her bulk, and brazen atk/spd doesn't help her def when in fact she could potentially survive 3+ hits with a def tactic and brazen def (mainly brazen spd/def, which doesn't exist yet), especially with -atk instead of a bane in bulk.

I gave her steady breath to deal with these exact types of speedy tanks. She gets hit once and then destroys them with glimmer. It's not the cheapest option, but I find it more accessible than the special spiral build, that does the same thing on both phases.

I do have a couple steady breath fodders and I was considering that. But I'm planning on running her in a tactics team for buffs, and with her speed wave on C it's tempting to try to make something of speed.

Even +spd is only 34, 40 when buffed, but I don't want to waste her A slot on speed too. If I had another IV that was any good I wouldn't worry about it but as it is I'm not sure

-atk is bad IV, and +spd is not that good. Unless you want go all in on spd investment, it is better to embrace her 1 hit ko potencial. With my +hp/-res I go with brazen atk/def, and close def ss. With buffs she can easly reach over 50 def.
