Hey all, I've been lurking on this forum for about a month or so but now I'm finally out of the darkness with some questions!
1. I've been lucky enough to roll Ike, Hector and Takumi this past couple week! 3 distant counter units! Unfortunately Ike and Takumi are +hp -spd while Hector is +def -atk. I don't see myself getting any of these units again soon, so i'm wondering how to optimize their viability. In particular, Ike with swordbreaker protects him from from most reds but everyone here says QR is better; would -spd hinder his performance with QR?
Also, I finally have enough skill inheritance fodder to construct a horse emblem team. Was planning on using DB Reinhardt, raven/TA Cecilia, DB Eliwood, and [filler].
2. For the filler space, I have a +spd -hp Abel, +res -atk Frederick, neut Sully and a Gunter. From these guys, who should inherit Gunter's Hone Calv and fill the 4th spot?
3. Eliwood (+atk -def) is only 3* at the moment but I was wondering how he compares to Xander. It seems like Xander requires a lot of skill inheritance and can't take a magical hit to save his life, but does he really need to with Reinhardt and Cecilia around? Which would do better to balance the team? Would having both instead of Frederick/Sully be too much red?
It's a lot to cover, but any response is appreciated!
