Surtr: +atk/-res or +def/-atk?

Just wondering which is better for arena. Normally +atk would be my choice, but with -atk he might be perfect for baiting and supporting in Arena. Also the +atk seems like overkill on him, since he’ll kill anything within two spaces at the start of the turn anyways.

+Atk/-Res is arguably his best IVs.

+Atk is a superboon that puts him in the 180BST bin, and -Res is the only bane that isn't a superbane. (Besides -Def, which is bad)

Really??!! I thought -DEF is best. I mean with his weapon and A skill thats 48 DEF!!! While RES is quite lower side

FYI, +Def is also a superboon, so either one would put him in the 180 bin.

What do you mean overkill? That's what he's for!
However, I think that you should choose the +Def one. Like you said, he doesn't really need extra Atk thanks to Sinmara, and 47 def is amazing for a baiting unit.

+Atk/-Res is probably his best IVs for game modes where he needs to kill stuff like AR or GC. However, since you asked for arena, I think +Def/-Atk is the best choice. Dragons are everywhere, so -res is pretty bad, and since he won't be needed to kill stuff, the -atk doesn't hurt him at all. At +10, he would be 54/56/21/51/37 before factoring passives and buffs, which is impressive.

If Warding Stance 4 is released in the future, he could reach 105/99 pysical/magical bulk or 113/107 if his C skill triggers. With guard and WF, he'd be almost unkillable. Love him!

If his main goal is Arena support then -Atk/+Def is probably the best (he tanks and hopefully doesn't steal kills). Otherwise +Atk/-Res is better for other parts of the game.

This is tough. What I would do is run him in a simulator with the build you want to use and see how it impacts the game.
