4* Gordin +Atk -Spd

What do you think about upgrade to 5* this Gordin +Atk -Spd.
I have Brave Lyn(+HP -Res) and Takumi(Dont remember the IVs but sure not +Atk) for archer slot, but all without Brave Bow+ and this will focus on some GHB or specific Maps

The build is on process
Brave Bow+
"move skill"
Moonbow
Death Blow2(3 unless I also upgrade Effi) or the Default Atk+3
Vantage3 or Swordbraker2
N/A

I have access to Fury3 but not to BowBraker1-3
Any suggestion ??

Probably give him Cancel Affinity for his B slot skill so that he isn't gonna be walled by Raven tome mages. You basically have a slower Klein that doesn't waste points into speed and goes for defense with a native Brave Bow. Go with Death blow instead of Fury.

Gordin could do well with Bow Breaker to help him counter the bow units he is currently overshadowed by.

B! Lyn and Bridellia are still common threats and this would help strike back and potentially KO them due to how frail they are.

If you are worried about DC units, most notably Ike, Ryoma, and the upcoming threat known as Black Knight, then your Sword Breaker idea might be something to consider as well. He can tank hits, and this ensures he can cause as much damage as possible while being punished.

Gordin's speed is isn't necessarily salvageable, but it's still fairly low, so precautions still should be taken. Encountering a mage is a no unless you know Gordin can initiate and OHKO them. I would not recommend a tome breaker skill.

I don't know the math, but I fell Bonfire would be better. I'm sure Bonfire offers more damage than the 30% nullify from Moonbow due to how high Gordin's defense is.

Since you are planning to focus Gordin on GHBs and similar content, Cancel Affinity is going to be even more niche as it otherwise would be (I do not recall any TA + Raven tome users appearing in GHBs). Specific Breaker skills like Sword/Lance/Axe/Bow depending on the map should have more mileage.

Since enemy stats are inflated on high difficulty maps, maxing Gordin's attack is going to be pretty important. Death Blow 3 would be ideal for that if you can spare it. With the difference from Atk +3, I do not think DB2 should be bothered with.

For a special, Luna is preferred over Moonbow since it activates more consistently with brave weapons and deal more damage on the long term.

Finally, a neutral bow Lyn has 33 attack and 35 speed, so she can also use a Brave Bow+ build even if just for specific content like GHBs. You could feed your Gordin into her and have her switch bows as needed.
