  One build I just kinda threw together but ended working SUPER well is Wyvern Knight Rosado with Lunar Brace+ and Canter synced with Emblem Hector. He makes the final Tempest Trial maps a lot less of a headache as he can enemy-phase so many griffin knights and Wyvern knights with Armads and Quick Repost+.<br><br>Hope whoever reads this has a good day!

  I wish the game had more than one S rank tomes. I use Veyle, Ivy, and Zelestia who all S rank in tomes but only one is in the game. I gave it to Ivy because it works well with her Emblem Celica.

  In case you didn&apos;t know, Japanese Ivy was voiced by Hikasa Yoko, whose also voiced my Orfevre, that&apos;s why she&apos;s my queen!

  Ivy is truly one of the most powerful units in this game, being only outclassed by Pandreo and (arguably) Hortensia when it comes to magic damage output.<br><br>She&apos;s a flying mage, which is already absurdly powerful by virtue of flight and hitting on Res rather than Def (which is why the Levin Sword and Radiant Bow are so strong in this game).<br><br>She also has very high Bld for a mage, meaning she doesn&apos;t get slowed down by heavier Tomes like Bolg or Excalibur. With a little bit of Speed fixing via the Lyn ring or inheriting Speedtaker, she should have no issues doubling most enemies, even on Maddening.<br><br>Surprisingly, she&apos;s also quite bulky for a flier, having good mixed defenses and HP growth, meaning she can function as an off-tank if needed.<br><br>Her biggest downside is her atrocious Luck growth, which makes her hit rates rather poor, so an inherit or engraving that fixes that problem is needed. Her Personal Skill helps mitigate her issues, but requires Ivy to have battled the foe prior, which is an outcome you want to actually avoid. You don&apos;t want Ivy fighting the same character multiple rounds, you want her deleting them in one go.<br><br>Her bad Luck also kind of invalidates her bulk, as decent (but not stellar) defenses aren&apos;t enough to protect her from the burst damage of a Crit. Ivy will usually be facing crit chances when the enemy can retaliate, but her Tomes mean that she can pick her engagements to avoid that outcome.<br><br>Her Class Skill (Grasping Void) isn&apos;t great except when it triggers against magic users, because it factors in the enemy&apos;s Mag stat to her damage, which most physical units (which comprise most of the roster) lack, only really increasing her damage output by negligible amounts.<br><br>Despite this, he weaknesses are easily remedied thanks to the Byleth ring giving her Luck and Divine Pulse inherit if you want her to carry the Lyn ring, while a Speedtaker and Speed +inherit can solve her Speed problems if Lyn is being used by someone else while giving her Tome a Hit engraving.<br><br>Finally, her low Luck is a complete non-factor on Enemy Phase if she is being protected by Bonded Shield from a Qi Adept or Flying Lucina user (90% from a Dragon unit might seem good enough, but every FE/Xcom vet knows that if it&apos;s not 100%, it&apos;s 50%), as enemies cannot hurt her in this case, allowing her to solo entire squads while taking no damage, provided she doesn&apos;t get doubled and deletes every Backup unit before they can provide Chain Attacks.
