DC Nephenee Options

Nephenee is SO underrated. Drawn in by Wrath and her gorgeous art, I got +Spd -Def and stuck with her normal kit, getting her to 37/47/40/31/20, making her undoubleable even by Brave Lyn and able to soak up Sword units. That said, I figured she could deal with Bows well too, so I worked this out:
Slaying Lance+/Berkut's Lance+ (+Spd to replace Atk/Spd 2)
-Reposition
-Aether
-Distant Counter
-Wrath 3
-??? (I've used Hone Atk until now)
-Distant/Close Def 2 (haven't had time to grind out badges yet)
I had planned on Slaying Lance+ with Wrath for cheap Aethers, but then I was struck by the realization of how Berkut's Lance could patch up her Res to get her to 31/27 - 37/33 with Distant Def. I'd probably end up just testing the two choices, but I wanted to ask if it seemed feasible. I did realize that I mostly use Neph to soak up Swords anyway, and that a Wrathful Aether is always a good response to mages too lol.

I do like Nephenee a lot both in art and unit, although giving that wrath3 is always tempting... (probably most of the reason most people dont keep her, they just have another favorite unit that could use it). Im not a fan of distance counter blue units, realistically its not that consistent in TT and there are no red mages in arena at the moment. In fact there's probably more green than anything, with reins sneaking around. Im not saying its bad, just that you could make her more unique with for example flashing blade (not many blue units can use it). To be honest I havent given her much thought on how to use her, but more on why not to use her since I already have fully built Lancina, Effie and Cordelia so another lance is not on the priority list

That makes sense. I wanted Neph BEFORE I knew about Wrath, so clearly I like her. I just love her base kit so much and thought I'd invest more in her, but the more I think about it, DC doesn't help with Brave Lyn, the main bow user, and my Neph exists to tank Swords and then just the occasional lancer or bow, so honestly? DC isn't that great, as for example, I could just run my Bride Lyn to heal her now that staves are so good.

I'll hold onto my Hector for Laevatein as I planned. Gotta love Vantage DC Bladeblade ;)
