BEST BUILDS: Merrin WOLF KNIGHT!

[@crystalqueen9711]

Best girl, and also best unit in best class Also she works great with a Chrom engraved Silver Dagger, it'll boost her avoid to that perfect sweet spot where enemies will only have like 14% hit rates against her, meaning she can dodge tank reliably but still actually get attacked by the enemies

[@rattyxoxo7397]

Steel Dagger +4 is such a goofy weapon

[@zexor37]

Used Merrin in my first pre-well maddening run. Silver dagger wolf knight, draconic hex, canter Roy wielder. Worked fantastic, would run again easily. Way stronger then Yunaka throughout the endgame the Roy engage really pushed her into lethal ranges while Yunaka was dodge tanking in the fog w/Corrin and really only crit fishing to equal any type of damage output Merrin was laying down.

[@lynneko1304]

I ADORE Merrin. I ran her like twice on wolf knights, then changed her to Wyvern, and never looked back. Since then Ive ran her on Mage Knight, Sage, and Warrior. And I thought she was absolutely insane on Warrior, and quite good on the other classes. Plus its Merrin, shes just fun no matter what so..

[@ultrose7379]

Merrin has so much build that she doesn’t get weighed down by silver dagger at all even before forges (she has a whopping 9 build as a wolf and the silver dagger only weighs 7). If your not going for crit stuff I think going silver dagger too plus 3 is just better since if you want to increase it more if you find yourself with the resources you can and it has more mt then a steel dagger plus 4 and is cheaper then a steel plus 5. If your going ike merrin then I think going ace wolf is worth tbh. Merrin has a ton of build (not enough to avoid getting weighed down by axes a lot as a wolf but she has daggers as a light option but she can now use axes for effective damage) you get Hurricane for great aether vs fliers, poleaxe vs cavs which your doubling (except wolves which you can go for 1 shots one the non late game ones) since your so fast and can do great aether with it as well. And she can have a forged steel great axe which is dirt cheap for a plus 3 and it has the same costs as a steel weapon so its quite cheap to go even higher with for great damage for that great aether. Roy merrin is just gross thanks to that str. Bulk and movement. As a wolf knight that raise above is 4 points of spd and with raise above active at bond level 19 that’s plus 8 str along with just more bulk in general. I used to really like erikia on merrin but now I just prefer bravery on her (if I’m doing wolf and not one of the many other great options merrin has) as can go with another emblem’s damage stack potential. She’s still great on her of course though Also saw someone mentioned lapis as a similar wolf knight but I would like to mention that merrin and lapis are level 35 it looks like this (for the calcs lapis went wolf knight right away even though she can’t technically do that but it just shows the wide gulf between them) . Merrin has plus 3 hp, plus 2 str, plus 5 magic ( which is actually useful depending on what your doing due to stuff like hurricane, celica and Levin sword), plus 5 dex, equal spd, plus 3 luck, plus 1 def, plus 1 res, and plus 4 build so merrin can use heavier weapons and engraves without issues so she’s faster then lapis depending on the equipment too. No idea if you or anyone is gonna bother reading these comments but here we are lol

[@MetalGearRaxis]

I really like Roy on Merrin. Huge str boost, Binding Blade is a beastly stat stick, and she gets 3 to 4 extra speed while Engaged for faster things like heroes. Also Rise Up gives mounted +1 move

[@whitewolf3051]

Anyone have idea as to the size of the wolf, like how tall it is at the shoulders, what its length - not counting the tail - is? There were two extinct real world wolves that this *could* compare to in size, those being Kenai Peninsula Wolf that stood *maybe* about 3 ft 6 in, and Bernard’s (Banks Island) Wolf which *may* have stood about 4 ft at the shoulders.

[@RaidenKaiser]

Wolf knight is the worst thing when it happens to you next to griffins but when you do it to enemies they laugh lol

[@ultrose7379]

Just gonna copy paste some funny calcs of what merrin with celica and giving the free mt augment crystals to seraphim for level 1 mt augment does that I left on another video. wolf knight merrin at internal level 35 has 15 magic. With seraphim and bond level 19 on celica that nets one rounds on endgame berserkers. With a magic tonic she gets one rounds on endgame generals and snipers as well. And she is 1 hp off form 1 rounding the Duma!general and the medeus!berserker.And this of course is before skills like bravery/bravery+ And that’s just as a wolf knight. With bravery plus you get kills on wyverns and halberdiers. And celica also gives str which is pretty funny too. That aside I do thing celica is just the best user of getting the free mt augment crystals. And you have enough from getting level 1 seraphim that you can do something like Sigurd’s raiderbane too which is also quite strong. I’ll leave another comment for non celica stuff

[@Bones15GP]

I Ran Merrin/Wolf Knight/Celica/Draconic Hex/Speed +5. I primarily used her to poke and debuff with Draconic Hex, and also used Levin Sword and Seraphim to 1 rounds low res enemies. I like Merrin she never fell off during my first Maddening run, but I don’t understand this obsession with trying to make every unit a damage carry…

[@Moxuko]

Using merrin with a corrin engraved silver dagger and the lucina ring giving her stupidly high avoid and high crit rate of constant 30 up to 50% Truly an amazing unit and a sweetheart caracter

[@TheShiningEnergy]

i switched mine to Lance Wolf Knight. because i like lances.

[@MasterStacona]

Lapis on Wolf Knight is amazing: ~She has a selfish passive which means she gets more avoid to become a dodge tank ~Her passive is also controllable, if you need less avoid then you do not stand by someone, and if you want to act as an unhittable wall to funnel in the enemy units, then you stand next to a tank - or with a true tank like a General can block off an area completely and let your carries destroy an entire hoard of enemies with no risk ~She gets an insane 75% speed growth for even more avoid ~She gets really good supports for even more avoid ~You get her early on in the game too - gains access to early game rings if you need anything from them (like Canter) Now with Merrin: She has a support passive so if you actually place her on a support class she will be better, like Martial Master or Enchanter, making use of her hybrid growths and speed while utilizing her support passive better as a result of being on a true support class.

[@ljthompson3011]

If I was to run lapis it’d probably be on wyvern love her color scheme. I don’t generally like running generals at all tbh . As far as looks go I couldn’t see myself running another wolf knight because Merrin white wolf is too cool

[@MasterStacona]

@@ljthompson3011 Lapis cuter on wolf knight

[@ljthompson3011]

@@MasterStacona so that’s why you like lapis so much lmao 🤣

[@whitewolf3051]

I too make Lapis a Wolf Knight, a sword and dagger one, armed with a wo dao for the sword. Even made Alear into a sword Wolf Knight. Wonder which Wolf Knight others made Lapis into.

[@MasterStacona]

@@whitewolf3051 she has negative crit, don't give a crit weapon, make Lapis an avoid tank

[@JohnRambo1947-July-6th]

Merrin be carin'!!

[@TheNoorVIG]

Is this her best class?

[@Dreq458]

Roy on default Merrin, eh? That reminds me. I'm on ch23 on my first ever maddening/lunatic run after 3-ish months. For Run#2 I plan on pairing every emblem with their weapon specialist. Essentially, this: Ike- axe power, so give to an axe user Marth/Roy- sword power/agility, so give to a sword user There're simply too many characters and builds to try within too little time (irl) and in-game opportunity (grinding is impossible and resources are always tight) to experiment with everything. I need to follow a rule of thumb to simplify/structure/streamline my thinking. Also (and perhaps more importantly), while combinations like Timerra-Ike were cracked, it always felt like a waste putting *free* axe power on a spear-only unit.

[@hisoka8202]

same, did give eirika on avenir alfred coz it's sword lance and cavalry also has +50% from Ephrain on Engage Attack, Ike on successor diamant etc

[@shannonjones8877]

[Weapon] Power/Agility skills are never free. They only apply when inherited. Off the top of my head, the only unlocks that apply for free are the ones that say "effect does not stack while synced" in the description, and the base stat increases. So like, Dex+ applies for free, but Hit+ does not.

[@Dreq458]

@@shannonjones8877 Oh, for fuck's sake... Now I have nothing to structure my builds around

[@marioteik]

Isn't wolf knight only for speed fix? XD

[@zsasha2004]

Damn i just made mine a wyvern knight

[@leoerus]

"She is a fast unit in general" 00:18 Weird statement considering you are making a video about wolf knight merrin and not general merrin, but go off ICG
