What the heck to do with 6 Brave Ikes?

I really can't think of what to do with them, as merging them seems like a waste, as it's unlikely I'll ever get to +10.

My main Arena team is Dragons, running Nowi, Tiki (adult), Fallen Robin, and Legendary Robin. Tiki has Warding Breath on her, (L) Robin can't inherit Steady Breath, Fallen Robin has Fury 3 (which without merges + bond gives him 56 HP/61 Atk/29 Spd/40 Def/28 Res), and Nowi, also with Fury 3.

I wouldn't mind throwing it on Nowi, but considering I don't have anyone with Panic Ploy besides 1 Zelgius, I can't do an optimal Breath + Guard 3 + Panic Ploy combo. Right now I'm stuck with Fury 3 + Vantage 3 + Threaten Res 3, paired with Attack/Def +2 seal.

Is there any other characters that could make great use of Steady Breath other than dragons, or is it worth tossing Fury 3 from Nowi with the rest of my build as is? Hell, is it worth swapping Warding Breath for Steady Breath on Tiki? I just can't think of wtf to do with all these Ike's lol

Edit: I'll also note I'm running Aether on Nowi, and she's got optimal +Def / - HP IV's. Currently both her & Tiki are at +4 merge too.

Put Steady Breath on adult Tiki and Nowi. Its great on them especially for Aether. You can alternate between Steady and Warding for your Tiki to adapt to the condition of the maps you're doing. I got both for my Tiki too.

Zelgius, Fjorm, Lukas, and Nephnee are good units for Steady Breath

If you are (semi) f2p I would highly advise against putting steady breath on a unit that already has warding breath.

I put breathe skills on almost every unit that comes with DC or CC in their weapons to benefit from both range. Second I put breath on any unit with absolute massive def or res but low atk or spd as breathe will help them tank harder but also help charge their Ignis or glaciers faster.

Nowi is great with steady breath and dd3/cd3. Guard is great, but those seals are strong too. I'd also consider giving tiki steady breath, but I think nowi def deserves it

I strongly recommend SB on Nowi. Firing more aethers is definitely a good thing, and she's not competing in spd (which might justify fury). You can get her panic ploy from a Valter, and even if you don't, SB + QR + aether is really good on her. If you prefer her vantage build, then use brazen atk/def. It will always be active when vantage is active, and she will hit a lot harder.

Even though you have 6 B.Ike, don't just try to spend them. You never know when you'll be able to get him again, and a lot - I really mean a LOT - of builds can exploit this skill.

Zelgius is actually a reasonable candidate for SB if he uses vengeful or bold fighter with QR. I think there are better candidates than him, but he's not bad with it.

Other ideas: Dorcas, Hardin, Selena (instant +20 moonbow using wo dao, for instance), tanks in general, especially if they have innate DC
