Well, the downside is that you do absolutely pathetic damage thanks to Bike's absolutely awful stats. Against an actually decent defensive unit, the damage reduction wouldn't have been necessary. My Bonus Tripler Marth could easily tank all of this with just his A skill (and my signature pre-charged Fire Emblem having gone off on the previous turn, of course).
@@joanaguayoplanell4912 just so you know, a unit is not considered pathetic if one or a couple particular units can defeat him. I honestly doubt your marth would survive a black luna
Reason I'm happy with this really is that Bike is pretty much the best brave hero of all time which is fitting since he's the most popular FE character But then it's not totally broken either since it has weaknesses. Bikes player phase for a start isn't really that strong and his hard counter are any and all aoe users given his low res so it's a balanced unit. Really strong but not like units like L Azura and L Chrom who's counters are many fewer
@@tacticianmagician4716 2 words: Hardy Bearing ;) That'll get rid of most generic B!Ikes with their refines. However, that still may not be enough to kill him if someone REALLY invests into him like how Lu Bu Feng Xian did.
@@ledsenkatt thanks for the clarification, that would explain why I've never ran into that problem before since I don't run DC on my B!Ike and not many people seem to run HB on non-range units.
@@ledsenkatt Well I know it's been 6 months, but even though I'm not a fan of it, hardy bearing can be ignored by any damage reduction B skill like repel. Still, I'm not using this build since it doesn't fit my style (and the only hardy bearing user I fear is Bramimond).
Repel isn't worth it really imo since most cases his dmg wouldn't be decreased by more than 1 or 2, much better to run null C or something that works best when combod with brave lucina Running speed generally isn't ideal since unless you run special spiral, the first two hits the opponent gives you should prock aether immediately, getting hit just the once means you'll either not prock, or you'll prock second hit for much less heals
I'd say go for the plus 7 because I imagine the Breath skills getting powercreeped maybe by August and Ike is a super strong unit, so I'd build him if having good units is your priority.
Ruma Vittu oh he’s built. I use him all the time. He’s got refine, distant counter, null c disrupt, atk smoke and QR seal. He’s S Supported with B Lucina. He already puts in so much work so I’m not sure the merges will return that much utility when compared to three potential users of steady breath
@@brunkosproogle5046 well I guess you have a point. In modes like chain challenges and arena assault, it's better to have more units with stronger skills like steady breath. If anything, I would give him a +5 merge and use the last 2 for fodder. Only because I like to all stats boosted at least by once. But you do you man, whatever it is you should be fine both are have their pros and cons,.
Using the weekly revival banners, he'd only cost about 300 orbs to finish which is only 4 weeks worth of orbs when saved. I'd personally go for the merge because while steady breath is rather good, there are many other brilliant A slot skills like fort def/res, sturdy and mirror impact etc
@@OneStarProductionsStudio Understandable, but I suppose the point I was making was that we've known this for like a year, or however long that weapon refine has been out. I've seen dozens of merged Ikes with Pavise, Miracle, etc. It's very impressive; it's simply very old information.

(61 + 61*1.5) + (48 + 48 + 40*0.8) = 47

Yeah duh

interesting maneuver
I- ok, I do regret foddering all those BIke’s. I could have had +6 for sure ;----;

And people still dont think hes the best unit in the game
cause one hardy bearing and hes dead
@@ledsenkatt humor me, how does a Hardy Bearing SS = Death for B!Ike?
Hardy bearing cancels the forced double attack, making the combat 60% damage + 60% damage. Any strong unit will kill him through that

Wait until you try him out with Speed
yeah the fact that all the mitigation skills *including* close call and repel stack with Urvan is ewwww
@@OneStarProductionsStudio WAIT, WHAT~!!!!?
Add in Repel and get that mitigation to 64% for the first blow and 88% for the second one.

Cool math games
When he said "What the fuck...?", I felt that
Mine is at +4 and I have three more copies, do I go for +7 or hold on to them even longer thinking someday I’ll find a use for steady breath?
thats a tough one, steady breath is really good fodder even to this day xp

my future bike build is gonna be a +hp fort def/res mystic boost bike on anima defense teams :^)

WHAT?
i dont have deathblow 4 ok ;-;
uLtIMaTe maGIc BIKE!!!
Been using Close Call Bike with Peony and Lucina in Light Season. It's f*ckin disgusting lol.
Ephraim: disgusting haha. Bike is reliable as always lol
Just stick hardy bearing on someone and he's done for
Most of the time. Unless someone gives him MAXIMUM BRAIN DAMAGE like Lu Bu.
Tried 4x Stress test?
Kinda want to see what a Mystic Boost + Miracle combo on him can do.
I'm just asking,but how did Grima attack twice?
Well before B!Ike can counter attack
Ike's weapon, Urvan. Its refine is a "reverse desperation": if the enemy can double, they do both attacks before Ike can counter.
@@AzureJet Ohhhhh thanks bro
Bold Fighter
Why do you always create such monstrous units ?
If Zelgius had the atk refine instead of speed,i think he'll be dead (well...that's what i think)
now...if close call and Urvan stack...imagine if Bike had the speed to use Close Call/Repel
GypsySprite they do actually xD and ppl run +speed bikes
Mach bikes
Dang
Video obviously cuts off because there's no way he beat that Zelgius.
What's the point?
the point is he can survive 230+ worth of damage at 1 merge
