I&#8217;ve inherited Defiant Res 3 and I&#8217;m thinking of giving him Glaces later to compliment his res. I&#8217;m still working on leveling up his default Defense Ploy.<\/p>\n<h5>Pros:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Summer Gaius has a nice high speed of 34\/37\/40 (same as Setsuna), which makes him faster than Bridal Cordelia (32\/35\/38).\n<ul>\n<li>Also, Gaius has a higher attack than Setsuna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Decent resistance<\/li>\n<li>Refreshing Bolt+ has a built-in Fury 1 skill.<\/li>\n<li>Comes with a rare Ploy skill: Defense Ploy 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Cons:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>His weapon&#8217;s Fury 1 only activates when he has full health, which basically means it&#8217;s a one-time use unless there are healers on your team.<\/li>\n<li>Low defense<\/li>\n<li>HP is on the lower side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Skills to Inherit:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>As with all fast archers, inherit Brave Bow+ to get the Brave Bow+ build.\n<ul>\n<li>Life and Death 3 counters the brave weapons&#8217; Spd-5 penalty or Death Blow 3 helps gain more attack. Defiant Attack is also viable, but is more tricky to get into the defiant range.<\/li>\n<li>Desperation 3 helps quad-attack the enemy before they can counterattack.<\/li>\n<li>Reciprocal Aid or Ardent Sacrifice can help your Gaius get into his desperation range.<\/li>\n<li>As with all quad-attacking builds, Moonbow or Luna is recommended, as they will activate at least once in the quad-attack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Teammates:<\/h5>\n<p>When playing with a quad-attacking archer, every attack buff you give to him will be multiplied by four, which means you want teammates with Rally Attack\/Hone Attack and Spur Attack\/Drive Attack, which means Sharena, Delthea, Ephraim, and Eirika will be good teammates. It&#8217;s also useful to buff his speed as well, so putting Rally Speed or Hone Speed on your teammates is also a good option.<\/p>\n<h5>Conclusion:<\/h5>\n<p>Summer Gaius is one of the best archers in the game currently. His high speed combined with his high attack makes him perfect for a quad-attack build. His high res allows him to be a good magic check, but he&#8217;s fragile when it comes to other archers, dagger users, and physical attackers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QwyrXUmEbiM\">Here <\/a>is Summer Gaius&#8217; Conversation upon reaching level 40.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QwyrXUmEbiM\" width=\"854\" height=\"481\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got Summer Gaius right before tempest trials started.
