A little torn

I've been using +atk/-def Laegjarn for a while with Fury/Desperation but now I also got a +spd/-hp Laegjarn off the VG banner. And I do want to keep merging her, especially since the next one will give Atk and Spd +1. So it's debating between 40/53/47/40/21 versus 43/56/44/37/21, the conundrum of both being good boons and okay banes (offensively at least)? And looking at my other red flying swords she actually has both the highest atk and spd.

Versus: Caeda 44/43, Elincia 51/41 (Firesweep Sword), YT!Olivia 46/40, and L!Ryoma 47/42.

because your kit consists of desperation, it's almost always better to use +spd.

Is that speed with or without buffs? I haven't looked at her stats, but if she's hitting that speed without buffs, then she doesn't need more speed.

Without buffs, the only things that are factored in are the +3 from Fury and her default weapon Nui that grants Spd +3.

If she's on a team where she'll be receiving a speed buff, then I'd go with +Atk. Contrary to popular belief, speed stats don't have to be so high unless you're trying to outspeed Abyssal level content.

If she's not on a team that has any sort of speed buff what so ever, then I'd go with the speed boon.

Go with the +spd/-hp one. Which is greater: an additional attack or 3 extra damage? More speed means more doubles and fewer times getting doubled. Speed is both an offensive and defensive stat. And your unit will gain more durability with the neutral def stat than the bane def stat.

53 atk, 47 spd and 40 def means she'll be tanky as hell and hit like a truck in melee combat. In fact, she has more defense than Michalis (35) or Tana (34 {27 + 7 from Vidofnir}) And 40 hp will make any hp dependent skills easier to activate.

Also, I'd say consider giving her Glimmer, I love that special on my copy of her. It goes off almost every round of combat.

I've been running Moonbow with Heavy Blade seal for her for Arena bonus ally currently.

She already has so much spd that you will be wasting stats 90% of the time if you take +spd, there are very few cases where the +spd will be usefull while having more atk always helps

While as you said both are good boons, HP is the far better bane. I use a +Spd -Res Laeg myself. Even without the +Atk I run her with Heavy Blade and it triggers fairly regularly.
I would suggest rather than merging them level up the +Spd one and try her out (just run her with her base kit +HB seal and inherit whatever Special you won't miss the fodder of).
