crazy_man Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Just got my amiibo adapter (never upgraded to n3DS) to use my Ike amiibo with Fates. I know that Ike is one of the weaker amiibos but I wanna make him work. I know Ike lacks a personal skill and the only way to gain additional skills is to use DLC seals/brands. Any suggestions on what skills to take? I want to avoid taker skills as I find them overpowered. I feel Lodestar is a must to help his speed and for the Charm skill. Also what support bot class would be best for him for some stat boosts. Edited July 16, 2016 by crazy_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Ike is one of the weaker Amiibo units? I have a hard time believing that when he was just about lolbroken for me. If you're playing Lunatic, you'll probably need the taker skills... All of Ike's skills from the Vanguard class are good, so just use all of them. As for who to support bot for him, somebody with res. Ike's res is just omg wow awful. He could benefit from a bit more speed too.

Sunwoo Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Ana, you've never played lunatic and therefore have no business giving people advice on lunatic mode. Just because Ike did well for you in normal does not mean he stands up in lunatic. Edited July 16, 2016 by Sunwoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonZ Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Ike is basically a worse Xander. High defense and strength, low speed, 1-2 range personal sword. However, he has less movement options and no supports, but you should be able to recruit him before Xander joins. So for a support bot, just like Xander, he'll enjoy a Fighter -> Berserker. Compared to the other Amiibo, he's definitely better than Robin since he can at least become a good physical defensive unit. He also could use a class change to dread fighter in order to attempt to salvage his speed, but that will pretty much sacrifice his luck growth, unlike the Lodestar one - and, in both, his defense growth might become a bit RNG based at that point. Really, it might be better to sacrifice his speed but at least be certain that you'll have a reliable defensive unit, even if he won't be able to double.

arkel Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Ike @ Lodestar - Dancing Blade / Heavy Blade (depending on which is more important to you) - Aether - Aggressor - Speed +2 - Galeforce Growth Rates: HP - 65 Strength - 55 Magic - 0 Skill - 60 Speed - 45 Luck - 70 Defense - 45 Resistance - 15 Don't pair him up so he can make use of Galeforce.

crazy_man Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 That looks good, might replace +2 speed with Charm but I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilElectro Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 On the topic of Amiibos, did someone's birthright Robin paired with Lucina made them god or something? (Lunatic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my Marth Amiibo alot tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
