Should I fodder my B!Ike to put Steady Breath on A!Tiki?

Tiki has +def refine Lightning Breath+, perfect IVs (+def -spd), and once I get more feathers I can start merging her.

I'm a F2P player (albeit Arena 19); and I did the same thing. Fortunately I had 2 Ike's to play with... Tiki was one of my 1st "expensive" build and TBH I don't use her that much... You could pop in a cheapo Def+3 to try and see if it makes a difference; the cooldown with Aether would be nice though...

Yeah the Aether cooldown is the main reason I want Steady Breath because it's 6 charge with Lightning Breath+.

Also I'm not worried about not using Tiki that much because I always use her in my dragon team (the team i use for pretty much everything)

If she's always on the dragon team, what's keeping you? The conventional A.Tiki with guard and QR is extremely strong.

Y ARE U ASKING ME THIS!? OF COURSE DO IT!!! THIS IS AMAZING LOL!!!

Oh but give her QR instead of R Tomebreaker 3, she really shouldn't be fighting any mages except maybe green.

I actually plan on giving Tiki QR3 seal (QR2 atm) and giving her Guard 3 as her B skill eventually. I may just give her Guard 2 for now since I have so many Leons.

R Tome breaker is niche but actually not bad. They can only hit her once now, and she can take one hit from the overwhelming majority of red tomes

I don't personally mind R Tomebreaker, I just generally run G Tomebreaker in case i run into a Julia or Deirdre in arena.

What red tomes are you facing in arena though? W!Tharja is probably the most common and has low speed anyway. Aside from her there are barely any red tomes.

In arena, barely any, but sounds like this Tiki is getting used in PvE.

On a side note, do you play the Berlin?

If you don't use Ike then go for it, that one skill makes her magnificent. I've got her to +4 and she's a beast, just waiting on another one to teach her Atk Smoke from a free Kaze then she's done moveset-wise. Seconded on the QR, though you can use the seal and keep Red Tomebreaker

Eh, R Tomebreaker was mainly for a specific map. I run G Tomebreaker as default in case i have to deal with Julia or Deirdre. QR2 seal is actually my default one but i had Close Def 3 on while sp farming and forgot to switch off.

The final touches to her skillset are planned at be Guard 3 and a Dragon buff C skill.

Potentially i prefer the mixed tank build, with +res and res refine, coupled with warding breath and distant counter seal, that makes sure even blue mages can't really take her down easily, but it's up to taste i guess.

The def build isn't bad, and you definitely will want her to be able to procs aethers left and rigth, so you can't go wrong with SB.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, except i foddered my extra vanguard ike already and i still use my original one. Actually, my mixed tank build is on the female dragon Robin. It's just too bad Expiration can't be refined.

For the writer of the OP specifically, I would recommend this only if you're trying to shut down all greens, in which case you have an issue with Julia and Deirdre. The reason is that dragon teams need to define their roles, and if I'm not mistaken A.Tiki generally does best being an imposing def wall that even lances have trouble breaking while leaving mages to Fae and Nowi.

One final note, of course Aether is really useful, but for smaller, shorter stages/maps, Bonfire with Steady Breath is a destructive combo, especially seeing how much Def she already has.

Yes. Do it. I did it back when B! Ike first released and haven't regretted it at all, she's incredible.

I'd recommend you do it. I sacrificed my only Brave Ike to give Steady Breath to my Nowi, and she's been absolutely amazing. So I'm assuming Tiki (A) would perform similarly well.

You have a few things to consider here. 1)Red units are much more prevalent and good green charters are harder to come by. 2)Your Tiki would benefit from Steady Breath greatly. 3)Giving Tiki steady breath would cost you a very valuable green unit, which I'll reiterate, are definitely harder to come by than strong reds. If you ask me I'd hold off and see if you could get a Vanguard Ike in a legendary banner because it looks to me like Res is a bit of a weak spot while the def might be a bit over kill.
