Merric Build

OK gonna try this one more time.

I'm planning on merging up a Merric as a project for fun but I also want to try and make him somewhat competitive. He may not be the first choice for a mage for most people but I like him and wanna make him work.

This is the build I have so far, as well as the team I'm thinking about using him on. Merric would have to be built from the ground up pretty much. I do have Atk/Spd bond from a -spd Hinoka that sits in my barracks and don't really plan on using. Currently he has Dark Excalibur but I'm interested in the slaying effect on his tome, considering Ishtar and him are the only mages that have it, to my knowledge.

Lucius needs more merges, Nowi would need Guard and a new IV (currently +Atk -HP) and Tiki would need a new IV and Wrath (currently +Def -Spd). Nowi and Tiki are both on my main arena team but I'm looking to use Tiki in a more fun way, considering I +10'd her a long time ago and her Steady Breath set, while amazingly effective, is getting really stale.

Any help or criticism is welcome.

edit: whoops, forgot to include the builds. 1 sec

Hi there! Glad to see another Merric fan. I think your on the right track, but a small thing I'm planning on doing also. When Merric is near a mage or healer, he gets +5 atk and spd. With the Atk Spd bond you gave him (although Fury 3 or CC might work better) that puts him between 41-44-46 spd. This is more than enough to frequently proc the Flashing Blade SS when it releases. Pair that with Spd smoak for offensive, or Threaten Spd with a defensive build, and you get an Aether that is 4 charge, and goes down by 2 with every attack. What IV were you planning on as a side note?

Woo Merric :D I completely forgot about Flashing Blade being a thing, you're absolutely right. My current Merric is +Atk -Res but I'm thinking about +Atk -HP so he can get Infantry Pulse from Tiki. But with Flashing blade maybe +Spd? Not really sure
