Astrid Builds
 : Damiell Bow | A : Spd/Def Bond 4 |
 : Rally Atk/Def+ | B : Atk/Def Ruse 3 |
 : Moonbow | C : Joint Drive Atk |
| S : Atk/Res Bond 3 |
This build uses Astrid as both an offensive unit and a support unit at the same time. Atk/Res Bond is used to round out her stats; you may instead use other Bond skills if you feel certain stats don’t require additional boosts.
Recommended IVs
| +Spd/-Res | The best IVs for Astrid are +Spd and -Res. Boosting Astrid’s Spd allows her to perform follow-up attacks more easily and prevent enemy follow-up attacks more often at the same time. Both her HP and Res are less important stats, but HP is a superbane and Res isn’t. Thus, -Res is the bane of choice. |
| +Spd for a +10 Merge | We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Astrid to +10. Her Spd is high enough to compete with the fastest units in the game, thus it should be boosted as much as possible. |
