Theorycraft with the new Guard Bow+

That's the build I'm going for once I get enough materials to forge a new weapon. Already have everything else ready to go. HJakob has been putting in tons of work for me so this should make him unstoppable.

This build will be super strong against the IA, in arena it will be another matter but for sure there is 2 things you can do to improve its performance in arena :

1. Giving him Iceberg (his Res is higher than his Def), since he has a good Atk, a 4 turn special (i.e. Ignis) would be overkill and actually it reduces its rate of occurence.

[Transition for the 2.] QR3 is great in player's hand, especially with such a great tank ability but that's also why no one will attack him (no player will initiate for sure), even the IA won't, unless it's the only available target, since it can't damage it and it gets killed back.

2. While skills like Renewal and Atk Seal would normally be an inferior option, with the lastest fact mentioned, it'd actually improve his performance in many cases. In some cases, it would also help the team.
