A Sword for Soleil

I'm trying to improve my merge project Soleil and I'm torn between a Slaying Edge or Wo Dao. She already has (and will be running) Swift Sparrow and Spd Smoke and I'm tempted to give her my spare Wrath. Is the advice going to be Wo Dao for low cool down specials and Slaying Edge for higher ones?

I'm kind of leaning towards:
Wo Dao+ (+Spd)
Swap/Reposition/Dual Rally
Glimmer/Bonfire
Swift Sparrow
Wrath
Spd Smoke
Heavy Blade/Atk+3

She'd have 58 Atk and 47 Spd when initiating so Heavy Blade should trigger regularly. Bonfire against melee units would proc on her second hit for a constant 35 damage while Glimmer is always a gamble. Any thoughts or improvements? Also, I don't plan on giving her DC.

I tried both and Slaying edge is generally better. Seeing that you are using wrath instead of desperation, you'd be trying to one-shot your enemies, which is where you'll find the always ready moonbow/glimmer really handy (after wrath gets activated ofc). Since you don't have desperation, you can't really afford to take part in too many duels, so after the first kill, you will want to start one-shotting people, because she might not survive another counterattack. It's pretty much the Nephenee formula of constant moonbow procs and it works extremely well with Soleil's high attack.

That's a very good point I had not considered. Slaying Edge with the 2 turn specials would be optimal.

Definitely, slaying edge + wrath + moonbow works wonders in arena. She works pretty much as a hitman of the team, because you point at someone and she kills them. It get even more ridiculous if you have infantry/ostia pulse, because you can proc moonbow on first hit and then hit them with a wrath boosted moonbow on the second hit (if the enemy can counterattack).

It does sound fun. I'd been using her with her Firesweep or a Brave Sword so very much player phase which I felt wasn't the best she could do. Thank for tips

I think I would prefer desperation, then, because it seems easier to take down any opponent in two hits rather than one, especially with her kind of attack. Heavy blade + wo dao + moonbow? Probably slightly better than slaying edge + draconic aura

I would recommend your Wo Dao build, but running aether instead of Glimmer/bonfire. She can get Aether charged in a single round of combat, while most likely killling the target that is allowing her to charge it up, and then next phase trigger it against a full HP enemy to replenish lost HP and more than likely OHKO her opponent. It also scores better for arena in the event you want to make this a merge project.

I've got someone on my friend list with that build that keeps coming up in the Voting Gauntlet and she is fantastic. My Soleil is a merge project, currently at +5, but Adult Tiki , also +5, is my arena red but I will keep the build in mind.

I think I'll go with a burst damage set with Slaying Edge, Moonbow/Glimmer and Wrath for now. I have two Wo Dao+ fodders so if I fancy the staying power set with it and Aether I can give it go.
