Advice? My Armoured Team is Made... But Needs Work.

My coveted armour team is alive!!!!

The only problem is with my Black Knight, I'm finding a lot to be desired.

Black Knight is always the first to go on my team and he's basically just there to be the armoured red unit for coverage on the triangle.

Like I've been trying to go for, I want my team to be tanks of physical and magical attacks.

My Halloween Jakob is a prime example of what I want.

When Spooky Jakob is powered up with Hone and Fortify Armour:
ATK: 45 (whew)
SPD: 24 (eh)
DEF: 42 (praise Jesus)
RES: 42. (God bless)

with bold fighter and brave bow+ he is always guaranteed a quad when he goes into battle. A true tank.

Black Knight has middling res and not so great def, with pretty good speed, but what's speed if you get punted into hell the first turn? I could just play keep away but even with pivot, sometimes he's just can't escape mages.

By my view, the only hope I have is to pull Halloween Myrrh to replace Black Knight. But I never give up on a unit, so (bottom line) I'm looking for advice on how to make my Black Knight better. Specifically with Res.

if your willing, you could give him Barrier Blade and Distant Counter, Barrier Blade gives res+7 when being initiated on, but at the cost of Alondite. I'm pretty sire Barrier Blade can be refined also, so ou could get 11 more res in the end. For a b skill I would say bold fighter if your QR seal is free, if your QR seal is being used already than use vengeful fighter and probably the new Brazen Atk/Res seal.
If you are not concerned about DC than steady or warding breath will do you tremendous help in either helping your physical by 4 or your magic by a total of 15.
Ofc don't do any of this if you are pursuing Myrrh, as it would be a complete waste of feathers and skills if you do this and than pull a Myrrh.

Unfortunately, I do not have Silvia, so can't count on barrier blade. I do have distant counter.

Considering I had to sacrifice my beloved Christmas Lissa for bold fighter for my Halloween Jakob, needless to say, I don't have any bold fighter on hand. my warding breath has already been sacrificed, unfortunately.

So I'll take your advice and go for a distant counter. Thank you!

I think you missed the point, you run DC because you are giving up Alondite for barrier blade. Silvia comes as a 4 star so she isn’t hard to get and you will probably get her when pulling for Myrrh.
Also, As others have stated you can also run Distant Defense seal to further increase magic bulk also

For some reason, distant counter translated into distant def for me, that's what I thought you meant

It really seems like a waste to give DC to a unit who has it built into their weapon. You'd be much better off giving him Distant Defense SS, and a similar A slot skill to bump his res up by ~12. Then run him with Goads/Wards/Fortify/Hone armor, whatever you want, and you can get his speed high enough not to be doubled by most things, and his res enough not to die immediately. Or, if he can take one hit from blues res attackers, then you could just focus on his speed and make sure he doesn't get doubled...Res isn't his strength, and I think you'd sacrifice the opportunity to maximize his strengths when you try to dump everything into patching a weakness.

I agree. Warding stance/breath and DD seal or Brazen Def/Res and Brazen atk/res seal (or DD seal)

Zephiel mb? base 24 res and dd3 in refined weapon, or res refined silvia gun when you get that. Otherwise, if you dont get Myrrh, Winter Tharja will probably be back in december.
