Best BLyn check since DM

Since Deflect Magic is available for S-slot BLyn became a much more threatening unit. Everybody builds up a Raventome mage to check her (and Rein in best case) but everybody that needs Bowbreaker to kill her in return is now about to fail because of the damage reduction of that consecutive hit. Raventome users have to one shot her (which isn't that easy because of her great RES) or else they need the player phase to finally kill her. So there the high DEF bow users come into the game... With Gordin and Leon there are two who can fill that spot but now I wonder which is the best? Of course Gordin will stand stronger than Leon for that specific job because he has more DEF and a lot more HP but Leon may turn out to be more viable because of his much higher SPD so he can fight other team members better if there isn't any BLyn on the enemies team.
So long story short what do you think? Which one is better to fill the spot for BLyn check and maybe still has any other usage if there isn't any BLyn? Or do you have any experiences with other units that can do that job even better? Maybe still can check Reinhardt AND BLyn?

+Atk/-Spd Gordin with Ignis, Fury, and BowBreaker. He bait kills Lyn evn if she has a brave bow herself and he can unleash a massive burst damage attack on his turn against anyone he wants. He isn't *as* outstanding without an enemy archer to bait kill of course but he is still a decent Brave Bow attacker as he only loses 3 attack running Fury instead of Deathblow and his attack is fairly decent. If you have any Hone Attack or Brave Lucina around he can certainly kill other enemies with ease on initiation and dancers just let him overkill the second target with Ignis.

I suggest Gordin instead specifically because his higher defense makes a difference should you ever face a Brave Bow Lyn, which would (with buffs) kill Leon on the bait.

Could Brave Lyn even run guard as her b skill + deflect magic seal? This would keep a lot of mages with bowbreaker from 1 rounding her and is a lot less obvious than cancel affinity. This + a WOM dancer could be a good defense tactic

I've run calcs before and a +Defense Leon with fury and bowbreaker almost always survives and kills B!Lyn, but the problem lies in the fact that that's about all he can do with that build. Unlike most Raven tomes that still have a use outside of checking B!Lyn.

Depends what Heroes you have and how you want to build or which seals you want to upgrade-

Example Sophia with Raventome +atk TA one shot a normal Lyn and get only 3 dmg and lets say Lyn get even a +6res +6def buff she will still die vs Sophia if someone is near example with the new spur atk 3 seal. Only way to survive for Lyn super high merge/ she is a +res B. Lyn or have +hp Seal.
You can still use her perfect as green check vs everything short said with pretty standart build with Swordbreaker she is supereffectiv and you can manip with her perfect the movement from Reinhardt because Reinhardt wants to **** her^^.

There are many ways to counter both above but having one Hero to counter B lyn and Reinhardt then i must actually say only Cecilia with the same things above posted for Sophia only different Cecilia need to run atleast +atk seal 1 or she has 1 atk to less and can not finish off B Lyn with Cavalry buffs.

Ofc B Lyn will say screw the rules if she has Cancel Affinity^^.

You know there’s deflect missle right? Another solution to countering B Lyn.

Thank you for all your hints but it seams like I will go that way with my Sophia. Just wondered if any archer might be better
