Azura (Young)

A fairly high investment build but useful nonetheless. Gronnfox+ beats Book Of Shadows in every department except the extra stats. If it's too much investment you can easily stick with Book Of Shadows however. GDI4 is again very high investment, but having the extra stats and arena scoring utility makes her potent. Wings of Mercy is the standard refresher B slot. Joint Drive Attack is excellent on her as her offensive capability increases as does her allies. The goal with this build is to utilize Y!Azura's stats and status as a green infantry refresher to provide a niche over her direct comparison in PA!Inigo. PA!Inigo goes more in the way of support whereas Y!Azura goes more offense. Not so much more however, as her stats are still fairly meager and she definitely struggles against DC units. But being able to give her turn to someone else is excellent for that purpose.

Pair with Legendary Marth. Make a enemy faze unit. #SaveThoseGreils , use 10 dragonflowers. If you’re going to go through all this trouble you better be willing to summoner support her. I suggest using distant defense 3.

Currently at +2, the idea behind this Azura was to lean into her weapon’s, Book of Shadows, ability that activates when she’s next to an ally. Thus, I kept the inborn Spd/Res bond, added in Blue Flame as her special, which adds 25 true damage when her special activates, and Hone Speed, which helps out her allies. This allows her to both dance and buff her allies, while allowing her to take down mages or non-distant counter enemies when necessary.

IVs: N/A
This build aims to maximize Y!Azura's damage output by optimizing her passive skill loadout to synergize with Book of Shadows.

Book of Shadows is used to debuff the opponent in combat, which, combined with Atk/Spd Bond 3 in the A slot and Atk/Def Bond 3 in the S slot, gives her +14 Atk and +9 Spd and Def. Spd/Res Bond 3 can be used as a budget option but it reduces Y!Azura's ability to ORKO some threats.

Due to the opponent's defense being debuffed, it is ideal to use Glimmer on this build as it takes damage from your own damage rather than your opponent's weakened defense and resistance. Combined with Y!Azura's respectable Atk stat she becomes more viable with Glimmer.

The B and C slots are the most flexible parts of this build as they focus on supporting the team. Quick Riposte 3 is a decent option as a way to patch up Y!Azura's mediocre Spd. While she does hit 38 Spd with Book of Shadows combined with Atk/Spd Bond 3, it may not be consistent enough to double opponents. Alternatively, Wings of Mercy 3 is always good on singers and dancers, and Bowbreaker 3 is especially useful for surviving Brave Lyn, who has shot her way back into relevancy through Aether raids.

Drive Spd 3 is always good for Y!Azura so she can better support your team, but you can customize it to whatever fits. Close/Distant Guard 3 can help with dedicated Enemy Phase units on your team, Tactics can work on a mixed team, etc.

The core of the set is Book of Shadows, Sing, Glimmer. A-slot Atk/Spd Bond 3, S-slot Atk/Def Bond 3. Provided you're running that core, everything else is customizable. What you have there will work.

Other notes: Due to her low BST, Y!Azura appreciates Summoner Support to help her nuke opponents and avoid doubles. In addition, with the advent of heroic grails, Y!Azura becomes a much more viable prospect with the ability to get to +10 faster than her limited counterpart, Inigo.

Mainly I use her to buff Ylgr, making her insanely fast and able to tank most return hits.

I gave her Draconic Aura because it capitalizes on her ATK stat.
