It's our boy Roy! Great analysis! If Roy just gave hold out he would still be considered a good emblem which shows how absurd hold out is. One thing you can do with Roy is combine his hold out +++skill with Marth's Unyielding ++skill which gives that unit some pretty substantial survivability.
The binding engrave, with brace lance is crazy good for Pincer attack. Combine this with lance power and the Hector emblem (the skill that gives you damage for weight) and you have some stupid high damage that will QUAD.
Roy is better than people give him credit for. Hold Out is one of the best defensive abilities, he gives a ton of added damage with his sync stats and Rise Above, and the Binding Blade is one of the best Engage weapons with its good might, 1-2 range, and excellent +5 Def/Res. Roy is a great mixed phase emblem. I love slapping him on Kagetsu to make an even bigger ball of stats.
If you're considering DLC. Reprisal becomes a ridiculous dual-phase damage skill, and hold out lets you more easily reach low HP to use it. Combine with Roy granting more HP and strength and.... Well...
Give Anna hold out+++ and speedtaker with Soren, and use tiki's divine blessings on her and she solos maps literally as a sage. Soren's flare restores her Hp time and time again, just warp her in the centre of attack where she can't be broken by staves or knives, and she's gonna nuke the fucking building.
came down here to say putting hold out on your soren mage is busted, i had hold out and speedtaker on soren sage pandreo and he killed the hell out of everything and anything. favouritism obviously but god it rules to just park a mage in the middle of the map and let them go wild
hold out++ or +++ via roy emblem equipped and Unyielding++ deff sounds like a really sound way to have a reliable tank my theory is it could be possible to have Diamant with Str/dex+5, wrath, crit weapon, Roy emblem and watch him hopium rng Sol crit enemies to death. that's actually not a bad idea and it makes Diamant's dex into close to the 30s to make it slightly more reliable. my other theory for Diamant is wrath, Quick Riposte+ from Hector, crit weapon and max Roy Emblem. gives Diamant more chances to crit and/or sol at the cost of rngesus. a 3rd would be Wrath, Hold out ++ or +++, crit weapon and Hector emblem for more physical tankiness to keep the quick riposte+ threshold. I think these'd make Diamant a very interesting Tank, alongside good ol Vantage++ Wrath+crit weapon shenanigans with Roy emblem
With the xenologue characters out Roy's sword power on zelestia is fantastic I pair it up with sorens keen I sight plus for extra 7 damage and I've been bouncing between chrom and Erika for her emblem but she one rounds so easily since she also gets the extra damage and hits at an average for Def and res
Did you mix up the effect of Blazing Lion between Dragon Types and Mystical Types? You were unsure about what exactly the Dragon bonus does, and then you were said Mystical "also" expands the flame area. Dragon Types don't expand the flame area at all. They expand the attack range. The part that actually hits the enemy with the sword you have equipped. It becomes a 3x2 attack instead of a 3x1 attack. So it can potentially do damage to a maximum of 6 enemies instead of 3 enemies.
The community be sleeping on Roy calling him a bad emblem. Even with the DLC I always run him. He can be a tankier mini Sigurd on Cavalry with 1 + move and he almost always pushes his users to ORKO thresholds.
I always give my alear hold out and call it plot armor

Rise up! Emblem of Binding!
The fact that Sword Power helps the Levin Sword gives Roy an extra niche. He really is underestimated in this game.

Add vantage and you just win the game
Berserker Jean to maximize HP going full unga bunga with this set.
I usually use holdout + on vayle with Veronica for the reprisal and with just regular vantage she clears maps
he’s holdin out for a hero

Yes my bad, you are correct
Soren, Micaiah and Hector + hold out is very good 4 tanking. Did I miss someone?
