Distant Counter vs Steady/Warding Breath on Seliph

Given that he gets Divine Tyrfing, designed to help him withstand mages, Distant Counter is the way to go. I gave it to his daddy, and now he's one of my top tier arena core characters. (That and I got extreme luck to max merge him.)

Steady/Warding Breath is also superb when coupled with Deflect Magic 3 seal. It lets him easily charge even skills like Aether and become exceptionally difficult to kill. imo, S/W Breath is better for longevity and tanking while Dc gives him a stronger enemy phase for mage killing.
