This damn Banner, so yeah.. advice on Nailah IVs anyone?

Fire Emblem Heroes FEH Q&A

#1

Well yeah Summoning didn´t go exactly as I hoped. Went in to the Brave Banner with 640 Orbs, and went out with 2 copys Micaiah :frowning: I got a ton of Pitybreakers though:

  • Flying Nino (which im kind of happy since my old one had -Spd IVs)
  • 2x Nailah
  • 1x B!Ephraim
  • 1x Lugh
  • 1x Edelgard (Actually not sad too, because shes +Atk -Res)
  • 1x Kaden
  • 1x Brave Camilla
  • 1x Ranulf

So yeah 8 Green 5*s and only 2 of them were Micaiah… I´ll go cry now in my corner.

Sooo but I don´t just want to be upset about it… It happens to all of us at some point. I´ll just have to be patient.
The next thing:
Since I got 2 Nailahs out of the deal, I now am up to 3 of her.
The IVs of my Nilahs are:

  • neutral
  • +Atk -Def
  • +Def -Spd

Question: which one would you choose and why? (well maybe not the -Spd one but I had to include her for completion purposes^^)

  • neutral
  • +Atk -Def
  • +Def -Spd

Edit: I don´t plan on merging Nailah^^ fodder is too good
Edit 2: @Vegi Since I got a Flying Nino i can now merge her to a +1 +Atk one. Should I keep the Standart set (and maybe swap Aerobatics with Deperation) or do you have any better suggestions? :smiley:

Then I’d go with the +Atk -Def one.
She should still be able to tank one physical hit from most units.

Yup, just go with +Atk and run Desperation on her. Its the best build for her. Aerobatics u can run as a seal, if ur using a mixed team with her.

Congrats!, you got great characters from the banner and some valuable fodder, I think it was a good trade but the game could’ve been a bit more fair :feh_maethink:.

About Nailah: +atk/-def is the best, her offensive improves, this is further accentuated by her PRF weapon where it has a form-like effect (+6 to atk/spd if 3 allies are near her)!.

SF!Nino: well you already got the recommendation from the expert :birbpeek:, her speed is quite high and you can always use a [Phantom Spd 3] to maximize the effect of the tome so it’s much better

Congrats on what you did get in the summons though! And yeah, sometimes summoning is like that. I spent 450 orbs on the Summer Returns banner to try and get S!Gunnthra. Out of 6 5*, one of them was S!Gunnthra. The rest were pity breaks, including two +SPD S!Laveteins

For Naliah, I’d go for +ATK -DEF

Her best IV is null c fodder

But seriously though Nailah is one of those units who hates a bane in all her stats so I wouldn’t bother using her at all unless I was committed to at least one merge

Oh alright, but I think you’re really good with her, at least you know how to give her a good build ^^

I’ll give a somewhat unique perspective

I use Nailah +atk -spd as an exploitative play during light seasons in AR. Buff her with Titania and M.Corrin on two Eir blessings, and she can wipe a lot of teams right off the map. 32/33 defenses unbuffed with atk smoke, 38/39 with Titania’s tactics, 43/47 when M.Corrin stands two squares behind her (because I gave the guy a drive res). And I gave her noontime, so she can often heal 7-12 HP every time she hits back. Add all that up and it’s like she has about 60-65 mixed defenses. If people don’t build their Ophelias properly or if I can debuff her atk, I tank them too.

I really like the +atk. It helps me get OHKOs when she can’t double. She has 50 atk transformed, 56 with a tactic, 61 with M.Corrin’s buff, +10 damage on special activation, and usually 4 atk from nearby allies (M.Corrin + Titania). If she didn’t have -spd I think she doubles everything except hyperspeed mages because I put drive spd on Corrin so she has 42 spd + prf effect even on a bane. However, I recommended neutral to you because I’ve been in situations such as having taken several hits, left in low HP, and duelling L.Ephraim and getting doubled, when I really needed every point of def I could get. As I said, without -spd I would double everything, which means I wouldn’t need the OHKO as badly, so I can give up +atk. So for my specific usage, I would take neutral over +atk -def.

There’s a case to be made for +def -spd, but I don’t think the few cases where +def makes enough of a difference will outnumber the cases where I wish I could get a natural double.

Thanks for the rather long answer :smile: I see what you mean, and some of it I thought of too. For me neutral and +Atk -Def are really close together… since I still haven’t decided on one who to give DC and Null C Disrupt , I’ll give it some thinking on how I (would) want to use my Nilah before I make my last decision. What you wrote gave me a very good guideline on what I should pay attention on :slight_smile:

Well mostly :upside_down_face: I’m pretty content with all of them but 3.
Lugh I didn’t really care about so yeah I got him I guess XD
and Ranulf and Kaden I both have with better IVs so (sorry to say that because I know you like ranulf) I really didn’t need them…
hm at least I can get rid of the bane on both now so it has at least something good

#17

I’d merge for both, and Lugh is adorable

And dont forget Edie

#18
