-Spd Elincia

This isn't so much asking for advice as it is a bit of an insight into what seems rather iffy at first sight, but then, actually quite workable. I was about to dare say "neglegible", but I have to admit a 3 Spd's difference is...well, an actual difference, even if not a whole +20 matchups.

I got a +Def/-Spd Elincia. It's a somewhat counterproductive IV set, since it's not like she's avoiding 2HKO's all that much. Not like a ton of Reds 2HKO her on neutral Def with L&D3, even. That said, I first tried out Fury, if only to at least make some use of her higher Def? 30 Def is pretty solid, but that 35 definitely cuts it short (only takes 48 Atk to 2HKO her). Figures, seems I ended up landing back on my initial L&2 + Spd Seal, which still lands her on a somewhat decent Quad capability. At 36 Spd, you avoid a grand majority of doubles (outliers of which either save you through Swordbreaker or not giving that much about Nino). You also double (quad) a lot of the tougher enemies, of which Desperation might get you through well. A rule of thumb is that you generally have enough Spd to double said tough enemies as well as enough to oneshot or 1RKO the more-fragile ones.
