+Spd -ATT Brave Ike. Threaten Speed?

So im planning on keeping my Brave Ike even though he is minus attack. With +SPD he reaches 31 Spd, so should I take threaten Speed or threaten Defense.

Why not just give his Steady Breath to Lukas? It would make Lukas overpowered, and you don't have to stick around with a unit with only 33 ATK and 31 SPD.

I'd say do that only if a second Brave Ike is summoned.
I pulled a - atk/+res B Ike. He's still good. His skill set in general isn't hurt by a -atk the same way it is with normal Ike. He can still charge Aether and bruise quite handily.
However, I'm still aiming for a second B Ike to give the -atk one to Lukas (I'm salivating at the idea... I pulled a +ATK Lukas in the CYL banner, so I'm ready to give him steady breath).

Ahh... Most likely keep Threatening Defense, since he's -ATk he'll do 3 less damage, which can make him miss some kills, so softening the targets would let him kill them with ease.

Even with +SPD, I think he has enough speed to resist some neutral speed units' doubling, and survive to kill them afterward.

Try this:

Urvan
Reposition/Swap/Rally *Insert Skills*
Bonfire/Ignis!QP
Steady Breath
Vantage/Quick Reposte/Renewal
Threaten Attack/Defence/Speed/Panic Ploy/Infantry Pulse (in that order from best to worst)

With a +Spd IV you can aim to stop as many melee ranged units from doubling your Ike as you can since his Urvan doesn't affect them, and use Bonfire/Ignis alongside Steady Breath to make up for his -atk IV.

Using this build, Threaten Attack is best for Renewal and QR since it helps him soak up more damage, Threaten Def is better with Vantage since it helps him kill things fast, and Threaten Speed is used with Renewal if you need him to avoid doubles and even be able to double slower units with Hone Speed (35 speed or less).

To answer your question, Threaten Def is the least situational and easiest to use option out of the two for his playstyle (for every IV and build).
