+spd or +atk Hana?

+atk for brave sword build, +spd for firesweep sword build.

Both are optimal IV'S and It's hard to choose between the two.

IMO I would choose attack over speed cause with +atk she has the same attack as Soleil(Neutral) and Hana has more speed than soleil. though with +spd she will be able to have -1 speed than ayra(neutral with weapon) ans she would quad more if you give her Brave sword.

But Personally you should choose which Iv works best with the build you have in mind for her.

Speed has always been what I think makes hana stand out because her attack is already good unlike other faster swordsman like Lon qu, Mia, Athena, and Navarre who have lower attack stats. I have a merge 10+ star hana that works wonders. She can't be doubled ( unless +10 Mia +spd) and she hits hard. Speed is the way to go.

+atk Hana has more oneshot potential with her default Armorslayer since the +3 attack gets increased against armors. However you could say the same about +spd since it’ll grant her more double attacks(not as usual against armors since some of them run Wary Fighter but still).

+spd is the best for a Firesweep/Quad build. +Attack is better for Brave+Death Blow combo since you won’t care about speed and will try to two-shot everything instead of waiting for quads to happen.

I think +Spd is the best IV that you could go for her, regardless of which build you use her in.

With Brave Sword, you already have a lot of strong Sword units that have very similar or higher Atk than Hana does, where +Atk is better for them. What Hana has over them is her incredible Spd, which potentially allows her to quad much more easily compared to other units if she runs the +Spd IV.

For Firesweep builds, since the enemy can't retaliate anyway, you want to get the most out of your initiation attack, and +Spd is the way to go here because she can double more often.

Even for Armorsmasher builds, her Atk is already so high that she can kill most Armor units except for the tankiest Blue and possibly Zephiel or Arden even without the +Atk, provided that they don't run Wary Fighter. The +Atk does little to improve her match-ups with those bulk units. +Spd is better here in situations where she isn't fighting Armors, where it serves as a defensive measure and prevents units from doubling her.

+Spd because of its versatility and usefulness in every build
