Hero Build Overview/Explanation
Despite a very unexciting base kit at first glance, M!Marth has a very interesting niche (as well as her unmasked counterpart) as a Falchion speed tank. With IV fruits coming, she now has a fantastic base 39 speed with a speed boon, which with Close Call/Repel/Spurn greatly boost her middling defense and resistance. Her only default skill, the Falchion, is actually very crucial to the effectiveness of this build. Not only does it give her the typically more desired dragon killing effect, it also comes with Renewal built in, which gives even more defensive utility. With the Awakening Refine, it also gives her a massive +4/+4/+4/+4 in combat boost while adjacent to an ally. Drop Joint Hone Speed and the Atk/Spd Bond Sacred Seal which proc in tandem with the awakening refine, that gets her speed from 39 to 53 with no merges, and in both player and enemy phases to boot. This build uses Noontime for very standalone suitability, but if you want to pack a bigger punch, there is another option: as an infantry unit she also gets access to an ally's Infantry Rush, which can be put on her adjacent ally to quickly accelerate her special. With an in combat 59 (50+4+5) attack, she should have no trouble proccing the skills Atk condition. And remember, this is all before merges and the now massive +3 in each stat from dragonflowers that comes with being a Gen 1 infantry unit.
In all, she (ahem, I mean HE) is a force to be reckoned with. I'll admit that this build isn't the most free to play friendly, but to be fair she IS a TT unit, which is very easy to access for at least a +1 merge, so if you have some spare grails, or some M!Marths lying around from all the old TTs, don't overlook building M!Marth~
