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.

Roles

Note: Astrid is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe’s Def stat.
