Theorycrafting : What unit's optimal build would you like next ?

Feel free to suggest what unit you would like me to reflexion on. I will choose among the mentionned units, the one that seems the best to theorycraft about ^^
(or according to the popularity of the suggestions if one seems to be very demanded).

============Extra informations============
Tomorrow I will release Delthea's optimal build theorycrafted, featuring the loccomotive of thoughts to help some players understanding the game better and possibly get some insight about "how to make an unit optimal" , and why not theorycrafting for the community too after that.

I guess it may be annoying to read for most people, so just jump to the conclusion if it's the case, the build will be at the end.

I know he already has "optimal" builds but I'd like to see you work your magic on an at least (+8) merged Ike.

Genuine request by the way.

Report

Noted. In fact, I think Ike has definetely some very nice opportunities to exploit, and isn't just an inferior version of Ryoma, so I will give you a theorycraft on him sooner or later. I will look at the other requests before choosing ^^

The 2 best builds for Fae (according to the purpose of your fae in the team)

https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/q-a/theorycraft-fae-optimal-builds

I like the 2nd better (more creative and fun) but it's very IV dependant and SI expensive so the Furious Chicken remains a good B-alternative.

Report

Boey - I know he's not on the top of everyone's list... but I used him heavily in the last Tempest Trials. I'd like to see an optimal build for him if it's possible.

Report

Aah... Boey...! This guy destroyed my Sonya's pity rate twice already. How much do I hate him... I wonder..!

I noted your request, in fact Boey's identity is very unique and can have some very neat optimization, maybe he can even make it to be a top [A-tier] unit.
I will do Boey soon or later, depending on what are the other things requested ^^

I have been really desperate about how to build my own Delthea, so I would be really grateful if you could show me how to build my own one. The main issue is that she has the worst IVs possible, +HP/-Spe, and I must say that I already have a +Atk Linde and Summer Corrin, so I don't really see the point in using Delthea. I hope you can provide help.

Thanks in advance :]

Report

I had the same Delthea, her best build (for +HP/-Spd) is honestly:
Dark Aura
Drag Back
Glacies (If you have Q.Pulse) or Draconic Aura
A: Death Blow 3
B: Lancebreaker 3
C: Drive Atk 2
S: Q.Pulse or HP+3

Report

@ Axur , I will sure do my friend.

I will post Delthea's optimal build in about 6 to 7 hours, so that most players can discover and exchange on it.
However, my hobby is to build "optimal" version of a hero, it means IVs and every single skills (including the seal) are chosen to synergy. Nothing is left to random and it may not be the best build if the hero has a different IV set.

But I recommend you to aim at the top, meaning, build your Delthea as if she had the optimal IVs and then try to pull for Delthea until you get this perfect one to create the archmage she is meant to be.

Report

Aah.. Est. If she had 2 more base Spd she would have been a great unit. But with her stat-line, although she has some nice strenghts, even with the optimal build, she will barely make it to A-tier.

I note your request anyways, maybe one day, I may reflect on her case a bit, although I think Clair and Shanna have better potential to reach new heights with optimization.

Report

Well I would like to see Florina / Gaius optimal builds because I don't see those characters in arena and all.

Report

To be more accurate, we don't see any ninja at all xD
There is very clear reason to that : they are very unoptimal units (roles, weapons and bst), making it hard to get a result out of them (without suiciding them at least). I may do a theorycrafting on Matthew, Saizo, or so- but it won't reach [A-tier] anyways.

Report

Lukas is superior to her at what she does best, so I would recommend to go for Lukas rather. Here is the the optimal build for both of them [A-tier] :
IVs: +Def / -Spd
W: Brave Lance+
Sp: Bonfire (if 1 infantry pulse), Ignis (if 2 IP in team)
Ast: Reciprocal Aid
A: Fortress Def 3
B: Guard 3
(there is some variant with Vantage 3, depending on the team comp)
C: Panic Ploy 3
S: Quickened Pulse
(the new seal can do well if you can compensation QP loss by an extra IP. The point is to have Bonfire or Ignis on 1-CD at turn1).

If you want to leverage Oboro's higher Res and Spd over Lukas (which might prove fruitful if you have not check to blue mages and to Sanaki) :
Suboptimal build for Oboro [B-tier]
IVs: +Res / -Hp
W: Berkut Lance+
A: Distant Def 3
B: Guard (otherwise it's all in vain...)
C: Threaten Def 3
S: -same as before-

Report

gimme a mind breaking build for Lyn pls :) want to make her s tier but no skill seems to achieve that.

Report

It's not going to be very soon but I take note.

In fact, I'd love to do it but she is a very tricky one. Little by little, new skills appear and with them, more opportunities for Lyn to earn back her glory ! Soon, soon, she'll shine !

Any love for Stahl? I've heard that he's a worse version of Eldigan, but certainly he must have some use in Arena outside of Horse Emblem.
