Best raven tome users?

I am currently lacking a 5 star raven tome user and feel like I should make one while I have some extra feathers. I have a 4 star robin with a stock build right now. Not sure if I should 5 star him or bulld another character with the build.

5 star res mages:
Lilina
Leo
Spring Leo
Katarina & celica (would rather not dedicate them to raven)

Blue
Shigure

Green
Soren
Inigo

Inigo seems like the obvious answer (if you have decent IVs on him) since he doubles as a dancer and is green, therefore he can also counter Reinhardt.

The next best option is Lilina IMO. Robin's fine. If you're going to use Shigure as a Raven user, I almost prefer TA/Swordbreaker at this point so he can do work against BK/Ayra/etc.

Yeah both Lilina and Inigo will work really well with those IVs. I wouldn't bother promoting Robin though with those IVs as +Spd won't salvage his bad speed stat, and res will hurt him against red mages.

I don't think Soren makes the cut unless you're willing to give him the DD3 seal. Even DEF+3 isn't enough as...

The threshold to survive most Brave Lyn builds with TA/Raven was 18 DEF when I calculated it. But that was before seals could be upgraded so, now, Brave Lyn could be packing ATK+3. Either way, 22 DEF should keep you alive in most engagements but you'll still take a lot of damage.

That is not true good sir. My sanaki has shit hp and 17 def, but guess what, she destroy everything. So the thing you want, is to one shoot the bow user! Def is not necessary that much! WAY overrated, you only need to live one hit really(or double if brave, my sanaki takes 8 damage from brave lyn, yeah...).

Green is the best color for a raven tome user and the default green is simply perfect and then great as a budget option. Cecilia has good atk, bad speed, decent defence and good res, everything a Raven tome want. Bonus, she's on a horse. I'd go with her unless you have like a perfect inigo or something and wishes to use him a lot.

One raven tome that people always forget is Sophia. She is extremely strong, her only issue is her color being red. But in my opinion she is way better than lilina / sanaki as red raven tome.

Report

She's definitely better in the traditional TA/Raven role as a bait and counter. I think Lilina and Sanaki have more nuke potential but they're not as effective at tanking physical hits.
