Now that we will have new merge system really soon...

Will -atk +spd be the best IV for unit like Sheena?
She has superboon in spd and superbane in atk.

I think no one can really answer this question yet, but I think the first merge will be always +3 on the bane stats so I would say a superbane is not a good thing.

Do we know it won't remove the superbane by adding 4? We haven't been told the exact effects on a superbane, so for know I'd say we should wait before coming to any conclusions.

This is certainly an interesting case. The text in the update notification says:
"level 40 5* Heroes merged to +10 after the update will have a total stat difference of +3 or +4..."

So it seems super banes may be patched up entirely. HOWEVER, I don't know if having a superbane is still the best option. Sheena will still hit the higher bin thanks to the super boon (Asset). It will depend on if Sheena is more a cheerleader though. So I would expect all characters will require massive IV updates.

We don't know for sure if the quoted +4 is intended for characters with super banes, so don't go building this right away. This could be for characters like M! Robin who has piss poor BST in total, and not necessarily apply to an armor unit's super bane. (Edit: Yes I know M! Robin is not the best example as he has 4 super banes, but was intended for characters with lower BST in general)

Right, so superbanes can become a new meta for an arena now. Wow, this sounds dumb if you think about it. But ye, Robin is a tier s+ now with his 4 superbanes lol

It could definitely. Since the context included "5*+10", they may enjoy the +3 for the first merge, but not fully patch the super flaw until +10. That part of the context wasn't given. So if she's already +10, then sure. Else she could lag behind until she is +10. This could be a missing piece of the puzzle that wasn't explained.

I would think that before we know more that you would want to increase a preferred superboon and have a regular bane instead of a superbane, because 0 + 4 - 4 = 0 just the same as 0 + 3 - 3 = 0 IF indeed the first merge completely neutralizes any bane, BUT as we don't know if the update will neutralize a superbane it's best to more safely have a normal bane, because 0 + 3 - 4 would = -1.

There's absolutely no possible upside in any superbane.

Report

Well, depends, if you want to use her for arena, I don't think it will be usefull.
Yeah, the merge will give her +4 atk instead of +3, but BST will still be 169 (+1 from spd, -1 from atk). If its purely for pve, most definely that will be best IV.

Also the thing is that we don't know yet about superbanes.

We don't know if Arena scoring system will change with it, the way how the scoring is calculated it only counts the bst at unmerged then adding score for the unit from skill's and amount of merges, if it gets changed so it count's the bst at +1 instead of unmerged then the unit would have an extra +3/4 bst but we are still unsure on how the scoring will playout

Report

Even if the superbane gets nullified completely, you wouldn't have more stats by picking a superbane. It would be like driving all the way across town to get gas for something like 3c less a litre (or 12c less per gallon if you're in the States) - you'll spend any savings on the gas you used to get there.
