Silver Bow +Spd, Brave Bow or Something Else?

My Virion’s looking pretty good, considering he only has 5 res, but Life and Death does that to you. My question is, because mine is +Speed -Res, can I get away with a +Spd Silver Bow for Virion? Or should I invest in a Brave Bow anyway? Should I invest in a different Bow due to his speed?

brave bow would be much more suited to a +atk virion and imma keep it real wit u chief

y invest in virion? hes not too great unless youre willing to go all in and "make a bad unit good" and even then his res is so low, it makes him bad at dealing with tomes unless you decide to somehow increase his res by a combined 18 points thru DD+DD+ Guard Bow, even then with a -res IV he'd only reach 28 res, although bows would do him no harm

He's just a weird unit in my eyes and i think i'd rather settle for someone like Merric who can become a physical wall and deal dmg thru his somewhat new refine

Honestly, it's probably a favourite unit of his so there's that. Jeorge is my favourite personally and he handles any unit fine. I feel like if you really like a particular character, you aren't bound by the rules of "BST is the only thing that matters" kind of thinking or having someone else's unit pawned off onto a question asked for a specific unit they requested info on, i.e. you recommending Merric over their favourite archer just cause you may think they are a better choice. That's user objective and opinionated in your eyes, plus has nothing to do with what they aforementioned in their question about if they should use a particular setup for their unit. I don't recall them ever mentioning they wanted to take feedback from someone's thoughts on a different unit as that wasn't their question. Your second comment would have sufficed just fine as that pertains to his request, had you said that at first. I feel any unit can be made into a great one with time and patience with a good amount of investment, you'll reach your goal. Plus, it sounds like you're assuming they use their unit for arena and such, when they never stated any such thing so being the most powerful unit may not matter to them since they may be building them for other reasons of their own. Just something to consider, chief.

Someone posted a brave bow build for 4*+10 Virion on reddit long ago and I find it quite convincing. You can also look for ways to leverage his def (Lu Bu theorized a Clarisse's Bow CC build, for instance)

Under no circumstances do I recommend silver bow for performance. Brave bow is good for picking on glass cannons and maybe quadding slow units; slaying bow is good for desperation or bonfire builds (probably use fury+renewal for bonfire build); otherwise fishie bow is probably the strongest option at the moment. Firesweep is more for someone with stronger offensive stats and no defense.

I have no idea what your Virion’s stats are or what build you’re going for. If it was my Virion, I’d give him a Brave Bow+ and Vantage, just because of the combo.

That one probably works better if you stick two savage blows behind the initial two strikes. That would be rather savage indeed (as Virion himself might conceivably say)
