Hero Build Overview/Explanation
This build is designed to be the star of an AR-D team during Anima season. F!Celica rather fittingly synergizes with Duma, who can put out chip damage with Upheaval and trigger Beloved Zofia without going through a round of combat. You can also run Savage Blow or Pain+ on a healer to the same effect.
With a speed boon, F!Celica can reach 45 speed at max investment, and Beloved Zofia can boost that further to 53. Atk/Spd Oath is a foolproof way to gain additional speed, any Spd Oath or Rouse can be used but Atk/Spd is optimal. With this, F!Celica can reach 59 speed, and the rest of her build exploits this.
Close Call is used to add onto F!Celica' already impressive bulk, letting her challenge mages with Distant Counter and not have to worry about being worn down. This skill won't have any effect fighting fast units like F!Ike or Mareeta, so keep that in mind when teambuilding.
Swift Sparrow is used as a seal to make sure F!Celica can take on bait units, most importantly letting her avoid a followup from F!Ike. In an AR-D setting, it also gives F!Celica a catch-22: bait her and suffer even higher atk/spd stats, or attack into her and have her heal 7 more hp for an effective +7 def/res. She protecc, but she also attacc.
With Mythics and Upheaval taken into account, this build can comfortably 1v1 most units, and Beloved Zofia makes sure that F!Celica can recover health and continue sweeping the enemy team. There are counters, however. Some you can expect are:
Bait units, namely D!Idunn and B!Dimitri
Units that can negate followups (ironically includes Duma)
Either version of Lysithea
B!Claude
Bramimond
Speed-creeping w/ lull spd
