More Olivia questions, yay!

So after reading the replies to my post last night asking for Olivia suggestions (thanks to everyone who replied), I've decided to give my Olivia Wo Dao+, both because it looks awesome and can be forged, and because I have a -spd Karel lying around just waiting to make himself useful (whereas if she wanted a Ruby Sword she'd have to go to the back of the very long feather queue).

My main question right now is IVs and forging. I have neutral, +atk -def, +atk -res, and +spd -res available. My current thought is to go +atk -res and forge her Wo Dao for speed (since if I went +spd and forged for atk she'd end up with the same speed but 1 less atk). Is this a good idea, or is it better to go all-in on one stat or the other?

(If it helps, she's going to be a 4* super-merge with WoM and Moonbow. I'm unsure whether her A skill will be TA or Fury, and at the moment it doesn't matter because I have available fodder for neither. Gonna play around with her while I grind up her SP and see how I feel. Or if anyone has alternate suggestions, feel free to hit me with them.)

Looks like you already have a great answer with your +atk -res Olivia! Honestly you can't go wrong here. Personally, I might still go for a +spd -res with a forged +spd weapon - just because it's getting harder and harder to double people. Besides, her damage doesn't come from attack nearly as much as her special - even more likely to proc if she can get a double off!

I have a +atk-HP Olivia with a Speed Wo Dao, and she works well. Hell, she kills things even when I DON’T want her to

Here's mine. I opted for +Spd for my super-merge, though I would have preferred -Res over -Def.

I think Wo Dao+ is overkill for TA3. At that point you may as well go Ruby Sword+ with Fury, since you actually do benefit from the extra speed and bulk. The whole point of Wo Dao+ is to not be useless against other reds.

I still need to upgrade Atk+2 seal, since it hasn't been a priority for me, though I wonder if Spd+3 seal would be better.

Yes, she can kill Ayra+10 (not +Def but let's be real here) as well as all other non-armor swords from what I've seen. Since most I face that aren't Ike tend to have speeds above 40, Swordbreaker is a must if you want to have Olivia fight them.

Normally I run WoM on her but this season I have her alongside my armor trio, so it rarely comes into play and she's generally next to them. Effie is my blue and, while she can certainly bait swords safely, she doesn't kill them on defense. If the enemy runs WoM and I need to bait, I use Olivia instead.

I like pairing +Atk with Wao Dao and Fury.

Not only does it have good synergy (with Fury helping both to hit harder and comp for the Spd loss) but all those skills make a very good defensive team Olivia. Triangle Adept and gem weapons aren't really good against real players, we mostly turn it in our own favor. Much like merging favors defense all of Fury's stats are enjoyed by the AI.
