Eliwood

Eliwood, Knight of Lycia.
Now I shall present a build of an underrated unit. But before that, intro..

Eliwood.
His base stats on +0 is actually kinda disappointing, in cause of his very mediocre SPD, low DEF for an offensive unit, and a so-so ATK. But since there is an availbility for Eliwood to wield Blazing Durandal, which is Brave Roy's default weapon that just got its refine recently, he could even compete with many Gen 3 units and bulky blue units. And gave him a bit light to be shone.

This build focuses on hitting and running with Galeforce.

Note : I actually wanted to put Lull Atk/Def on the B slot but it is not available on this current Builder

Weapon : Blazing Durandal (Efficiancy)
This weapon focuses on gaining more bulk and speed, preventing follow-ups, +1 cooldown charge, and halting foes' cooldown charge during Eliwood's player phase.
If it is compared to the original Durandal's refine, this one is better for Galeforce since Durandal generates too much ATK and lesser SPD to perform Galeforce well, yet Blazing Durandal already includes Heavy Blade on it, so this opens better options for the Seal slot.

Assist : Repositon (Alternate : Swap)
This section is optional, you may fill it with anything depending on your needs.

Special : Galeforce
Every hit and runner's blood and flesh, this is required for hitting and running with proper means.

A : Swift Sparrow 3 (Alternate : Brazen Atk/Spd 3, Swift Sparrow 2)
This is his main offensive power, he needs additional atk or even spd during the combat, Swift Sparrow 2/Brazen is alright if you dont have SS3.

B : Hit and Run (Alternate : Lull Atk/Def)
With this, he can remove himself from enemies' range while initiating the combat and activating the Galeforce by backwarding himself by one space cardinal to the direction where he attacks.

C : Savage Blow (Alternate : Def Smoke, Atk Smoke)
This slot is somehow flexible, depending on your needs.
But Savage Blow is really helpful for inflicting outside damages to the nearest enemies within 2 spaces, so he could defeat thick units by dealing outside damages slowly.

S : Brazen Atk/Def (Alternate : Sturdy Blow)
He needs even more ATK (but not too much) and more defenses so he could survive from some deadly high damager units during processing the Galeforce.

That is all, I hope you like it.

This is my +10 Eliwood's current set, and it breathed some new life into him after his original refine.

The crux of this set is the combination of Blazing Durandal and a damage scaling special like Glacies or Ignis. I prefer to run Glacies because Eliwood's visible resistance is the superior stat, so on the off chance he has to take a hit in enemy phase, his special still has some kick. Ignis would be more powerful with investment however.

As for skills, Swift Sparrow 3 is by far the most optimal skill for this build, but is still a very expensive skill at the time of writing. As a result, Swift Sparrow 2 works perfectly fine on a budget. Chill Def is used to help make up for the loss of power over the original Durandal, though the B slot is actually pretty flexible here. I don't recommend running Desperation here as it defeats the purpose of the build, and the refine already gives Eliwood a much needed +10 defense. The C slot is also flexible; I prefer to run Atk Ploy to help soften up the hits that Eliwood may have to take. The seal slot is basically a toss up between Darting Blow and Sturdy Blow (the closest equivalent to a Death Blow seal at the time of writing). I prefer Darting Blow so Eliwood still retains his ultimate speed, but Sturdy Blow also gives Ignis a leg up over Glacies. IVs are also a toss up. I prefer to have Eliwood above 50 speed on initiation, hence a speed boon, but an attack boon is also devastating, especially if combined with Sturdy Blow.

This build uses an +10 merged eliwood

Blazing durandal new refine makes eliwood a really powerfull player phase unit since iT gives him +atk3 and 7+spd +10def when he intiates combat and on top of that also special fighter 3 So that gives eliwood Some extra bulk and speed to deal Some great damage and having an higher change to survive other attacks from strong units.

This build focus is to get alot of def and spd in player phase so he takes as less damage as possible and to get a follow up to deal Some extra damage and get his special ready, thats why his boon is def and bane res (since his res is already high at 36 +10
Merged)

His A skill is swift sparrow to stack the +7spd of his refine to double iT up to 14 spd and gives an extra atk + 6 do deal Some extra dmg
His B skill is desperation to attack twice when below 75% so he can kill his enemy when they dont have an change to hit him
His C skill joint hone spd is a powerfull skill to help him get + 5 extra speed without a support from a unit with hone speed or other speed giving skills, so all eliwood has to do is stay with 1 unit to recieve This buff.
S skill is armored blow for Some extra def when he attacks so he can survive with as less dmg as possible, but Darting blow can work to.

Super Swift Impact Eliwood

This is a Super swift Eliwood meant for Pure Playerphase Offense
with his durrandal refine and swift sparrow plus the darting blow Seal

Eliwood Boosts 14 ATK and speed on the offense

Durandal received an amazing refine in the 3.2.0 update, combining both Death Blow 3 and Swift Sparrow 2 into one weapon. In an optimized build, Eliwood's offenses shoot up to 61/47 whenever he initiates combat.

Swift Sparrow is the preferred A slot, but if you failed fo pick up the Darting Blow seal from the Tempest Trials, then that can be substituted here. Chill Def helps to soften up the enemy with the highest defense so Eliwood or someone else can deal with them more easily. Atk Ploy helps shore up Eliwood's lackluster defense, provided his foes has less than 32 resistance. The Darting Blow seal helps Eliwood's offenses even further, but if you missed your chance to get it, just go with Def Ploy.
