Micaiah nowadays?!

Hey it took my very long to get her and I really weanted her. I've been using her for 2 months now but somehow she disappoints me now. Sure she isn't perfect IV (+HP-Def) but she was fun while it lasted. While other heroes can easily be improved, I don't see any potential in her anymore compared to other mages. There are Powerhouses like B!Tharja or Rhajat (boith perfect IV) and refined Linde or F!Nino who outperform her by far and those res relying mages... So what exactly is Micaiah's role nowadays? any interesting build around?
Btw in absolute numbers (mass simulator) desperation & Brash assault don't improve her usabilty very much.

Thanks in advance

Comparing offensive mages to Micaiah isn't really fair. Offensive mages can find a spot on your main team, but Micaiah is best used in modes such as arena assault, due to her niche of being a horse and armor killer. Because of this, a budget build is recommended for her. I would give her Glimmer, Death Blow, Lancebreaker, Res Ploy, and an Atk Ploy seal.

Micaiah's role will almost always be an anti-meta unit until we get some changes (weapon refine/alt weapon change).

This is my plan assuming I get the fodder in the future. Meant to be paired with Infantry Pulse to proc a T1 Glacies, letting Micaiah nuke pretty much anything besides green dragons, iirc.

Mass duel simulators aren't necessarily the most... accurate in terms of determining a unit's viability, versatility, and survivability because there are too many factors that can work for, or against, you.

Not only that, but depending on the duel simulator (I haven't used them all, but the ones I have are "guilty" of this) you have to manually input every single unit's "most common" build for it to be accurate.

Not to mention the fact that it's a 4-man squad...

Just my 2 cents.

Did you set the mass simulator up with her at 40% HP?

Also, consider spd ploy if you want to break wary fighter or support the team more.
