Merric

Well, I got Merric'd when going for Bike and boy, the salt
+spd/-def too, I'm wondering if he is usable, as I'm looking at his stats and, seriously if he at least has neutral def i would just slap a raven tome on him

If he's usable, can I hear your opinion on what skill to give him? If not, well, I'll just wait to get Merric'd once again

Merric is definitely not a bad unit, he's just confined to the niche of taking out fliers with Excalibur and ranged attackers with low resistance. And Merric is excellent at what he can do. -def does hurt him with 24 but, but at +spd he reaches 35 which is key for keeping up with fast units. 43 neutral HP makes him very tanky. I use the following set on him:
Excalibur
Swap
Moonbow/Luna/Bonfire
A: HP+5 (maybe go for Def+3 in your case to patch it up) or, Close Counter if you so happen to have a Takumi you don't care about
B: Quick Riposte 2
C: Threaten Res/Hone/Spur whatever

Besides nuking fliers, you'll want to drop Merric in front of an archer like Takumi or Brave Lyn. Merric's Quick Riposte will activate, letting him counter-attack his attacker twice. He will kill most Takumis and put a serious dent in Brave Lyn. Merric's Res is bad, so be careful of what mages are in range. Again, Merric can't do much, but when he can do something he is great at it.

I'm ashamed to say that I forgot def+3 exists for a second there
Really, I can see he'll do great with your build, ah, thank you! I'm excited to level him up and build him!
Thank you again!
