Which Ike?

My first Ike was a +Def/-HP. He Still manages to have 51 attack and some steady speed, at least enough to not get doubled by most units.And hey, you could merge if you want, nothing beats having a stronger Ike!

I used a +hp/-spd ike for a really long time till I pulled a perfect one and honestly I preferred the spd bane. The +how makes him tanky and the amount of units that will double him at 28 speed are almost the same as at 31. Just run quick reposte and make him a hyper tank with Aether healing.
