Ryoma

Although it’s rather self explanatory, this build is without a doubt the best build out of dozens I’ve tested and invested in Ryoma until he gets his refine in my opinion. I call it the Shogun Ryoma, It truly shines if you invest merges and flowers into him. Onto the build, with this Ryoma can easily handle any beat down coming towards him. I’ve seen him casually survive hyper offensive legendary chrom’s or hyper offensive nowi’s and dish back enough damage to kill them. Kestrel stance 3 ramps up his speed as well as the rouse And seal so you for the most part won’t have any problems getting the benefits of repel or close call. This build can also be switched up for tempest trials and the such by simply giving him aether or whatever you decide. Now with iv’s if you have a highly merged Ryoma I recommend +atk while a lower merged Ryoma would prefer +spd. Raijinto is a must for mages and archers ( which he can tank beautifully ) and ruptured sky is there for those powercreep dragons he can’t usually handle not to mention it’s just a good special overall. ( mind you my Ryoma is +10 with max flowers and summoner supported so you might not do as well but should still do well overall.)

Me: get pity broken by Lobster King himself, oooh yeah
Also me: check gamepress, Lobster King has been out-metaed by Ayra and Zelgius (sad face) Puts Ryoma on bench for few months
FEH: Releases Brazen Atk/Res seal, oooh yeah
Me again: IT'S TIME FOR DOUBLE BRAZEN

So, this Ryoma build can be used regardless of boon/bane, although a +Atk is nice (mine is +Spd). With Brazen Atk/Def in A slot and Brazen Atk/Res in S slot, Ryoma basically walks up to anyone and hits them once, gets hit back, and enters DOUBLE BRAZEN VANTAGE mode, which gives him whopping +14 Atk/+7 Def/+7 Res.

Any unit with low Def will get eaten before they actually pull off an attack (especially if Glimmer is charged up), and even if they do, Ryoma is incredibly tanky due to the added Def/Res and should survive a few hits.

Assist and C slot are flexible, although I found Savage Blow in C slot does help soften enemies up enough to allow for easier Vantage OHKOs.

Serves primarily as a ranged counter for every color except blue, secondary role is buffing s-class support partner F!Corrin with a +5 in speed so she can easily destroy any blues in his way, minor role, red and green replacement counter should Lucina ever go down.

Use summoner support to get above stats. In this build, you initiate an enemy, ORKO (hopefully), and then proc heavy blade, which will proc galeforce if a melee unit. Then move into range of green or red mage and vantage will OHKO. If Ryoma has enough hp, it can take a hit from the mage. Is +1 merged

If you Summoner Support Ryoma and equip an Attack +3 Sacred Seal his stats than become 42/55/40/29/23. This build is meant for Ryoma to use his good speed and attack on the attack phase when able to be in Desperation range. Swift Sparrow will put his attack and speed to 57/42 or 59/44 if Summoner Supported. This build will almost determine a one round knock out if used correctly. Lord have mercy if ever a Vantage Seals gets released.
