Worst unit to upgrade to 5* 10+?

Let's say a neutral IV for a unit, what do people think the worst unit to upgrade to such a high level would be? Doesn't matter if 5* locked or 3*-4* availability. I wanna hear everyone's thoughts and upgrade said unit to spite everyone.

I’d say Gunter. He’s just really bad and Freddy does it so much better. Or Spring Alfonse. Or Walhart.

In a vacum. His 32 atk and 33 def are decent at least. And he can rock a double close def set better than fredrick bec of 4 more res.

Its just that he is indeed outclased. But other units like sully and jakob have no niche at all and bad stat spread

Jacob (non seasonal): he has less value than Odin. Should have made his a healer with that piss poor statline

Jakob is more balanced than other daggers, he isn’t necessarily bad, just outclassed in all areas cause he’s too balanced.
The new Odin is certainly better, but I feel there are worse daggers than Jacob

who exactly? only other dagger who is close to the bottom is Matthew but even he has a niche as a great tank who can use panic ploy or infantry pulse. Jakob has nothing

Raigh. Boy has some of the worst stats in the game with nothing great to show. Everything is just below average.

Canas is pretty close, but ya can't +10 him. Originally thought he was worse, but Canas has a bit more Res than Raigh.

Hes a mage tho. So bladetome automatically makes him usable. Unlike sully and jakob

Bladetome can salvage, but I would hardly consider the amount of buffs needed to be "Usable". Jakob's definitely the worst out of the bunch, but at least Sully can run TA for the surplus amount of reds running around. Even if she does still get killed by them.

A character you don't like.
If Jakob is your favourite character then you should 5*+10 him. I regret building up Nowi just because she's "good", I hardly ever use her.

Someone gets it.

Stahl is Just Seth with less speed and more health. And he has heavy competition with other calvalry units. So I suggest building a stahl if you want garbage.

........what

On a serious note, Luke's statline is pretty bland. I also have a hard time understanding what Jakob can do besides that cloud maiougi build I invented for him to exploit his mixed bulk and middling speed. I don't like 5*+10 if dragons are all he's good at fighting.

I also don't like Cecilia and LA Lilina. They have stats which sit in exactly the wrong place. Cecilia 4*+10 I like, but I consider 5*+10 a relatively poor returning investment.

Niles is in an abysmal spot right now. Completely, stat for stat, covered by Nina, and for f2p there's Felicia and Kaze.

Legault is surprising sour for how recently he joined. He can't tank; all he has is spd so there's no good special for him to take advantage of it, so he can't hit. If he's going to be a sweep debuffer he doesn't need the extra stats except spd, so he should just rely on a buff.

Lots of dancers I find poor candidates for 5*+10 because they do so well without merges.

as an avid Legault user, I must object.
There's no way he's worse that some other dagger units.

His high Hp allows him to take a hit most of the time, and he's almost impossible to double.

Plus 31 atk isn't even that bad.

Edit; I would say Kaze is better than Legault, because has a niche and iceberg power, but not by much. Since Kaze does have to worry about physical hits a lot more.

Actually, I concede. For some reason, maybe answering questions about -atk Legault or something, I misremembered it being lower. 34 with a boon is fine. I still don't like his potential to take two hits, and I think he wants the extra charges for a special.

Legault's speed also makes it possible to run flashing blade seal.
Only problem is no high damage bonfire/iceberg/dragonic aura
He'll have to settle for moonbow/luna.

I like to use him with Fury+desperation for the first hit survival + unlimited dagger works combo.

Jakob is easily the worst unit in the game imo. Can't tank, can't double or avoid them, can't deal good damage, can't even rely on specials. There is literally nothing he can do. Other low tier units can do at least something like a TA+breaker skill build to beat 2 weapon types at once or can do somewhat well with standard fury builds or use some niche skills but Jakob can't.

Matthew
... enough said

Matthew can at least survive a bit better than Jacob with his somewhat higher hp/spd/def.

Not by much, but he wins out a little bit as support dagger unit.

I do feel weaker units often make more out of merges compaired to more min maxed units (aka Rein)

Often the problem is that their stats are too thinly spread, but with merges (and right IV) they are often able to do something.

Of course, a weapon always helps, it was great for Odin, so I bet some of the units here could make good use out of a new weapon.

Don't forget the speedy Rebecca or fat boi Oliver. Oliver has nothing special for him except for Atk Ploy. I only use Rebecca for her Darting Blow 3. That being said, I do have a 4* +8 cause IS isn't giving me the right archer for my merge project.

Grima, because you'll go broke trying to do it.
