Mew mew! Help me with my neko!

So I've pulled 5 so far(yeah, pretty cool for first day) and I've chosen the +spd/-Def as my Neko Sakura. I want to make her arena viable, but assuming I don't get another 6 of her, what are some good skills to raise her score, without compromising her ability to survive Reinhardt?

I gave strong consideration to that. Just need to 5 star a Chrom, cause there ain't no way I'm sacrificing the only Lucina, Lancina, or B!Ike I got lucky enough to get(and my Chrom is -atk anyway.)

Aether is a tier 3 special, so it costs more to apply and will offer higher scores in the arena. Question is more about maximising arena score in ways that don't make reinhardt kill her.

Wish I could offer better advice, but I'm not really knowledgeable about much arena weighting outside tier 3 specials being good, and it suits her better than galeforce IMO. I think QR is a good one for it, and it would sort of help the idea of her, though I think her speed is too high for that to really function. I think anything inherited is going to do better so long as its original cost was the same or higher, so going fury+desperation might work, though without her +6 res on defense its pushing her ability to handle a hone cavalry'd reinhardt.

I'm thinking Distant Defense. It gives her the +6 res, while raising her score. Niche though it may be, I'm thinking of giving her Cancel Affinity for her B-skill, because I know there will surely be Raven Tome users in the arena, set out there to act as B!Lyn counters. QR as you pointed out, isn't much use for her with her spd, especially since mine is +spd, and Desperation, Vantage, Cancel Affinity, etc. all have the same base cost. That leaves her C-skill. I originally was thinking a Ploy, but they're only base 200, no better than a Hone/Fortify/Spur(unless it's a combo Spur.)

Report

Rally Def,Res or Rally Spd,Def for assist, Aether for weighting, AOE for budget, or Iceberg/Glacies for optimisation, Distant Defence, Mirror Strike, or Swift Sparrow for her A-Skill, Death Blow and Warding Stance for budget, Quick-Repost helps against Blade since they usually hit 42-45+ speed, CA for Raven, and Guard for Reinhardt and Sonya. Finally, Speed and Attack Ploys work great (they do cost 240 SP not 200) but Defence Ploy can work as a budget choice, something like Mist’s Spur Def,Res, Infantry Pulse, or some other filler C-Skill can work, and Threaten works as a budget Ploy skill.

Hope this helps (and is not too messy).

I think the listing on here is wrong for the ploys then. I could have sworn it said 200. With that in mind, I already had her inherit a Drive Def 2 to help out her teammates. Besides, the only Ploy skills I have available are Res Ploy, which I only have 1 Sonya, and Def Ploy, and I kinda want to max merge my Arvis. I'll try it out and see how it goes. None of my Arvis have hit 5 stars yet, so if need be, I don't mind sacrificing one.

EDIT: Correction. One of my Arvis-es has a Spd Ploy he picked up from my only Deirdre, so if need be, I can sacrifice him for that., but that is a tough choice. Drop the enemies speed, or drop their def to help ensure a one shot KO. That...that is tough
