Distant Counter

Welp, yesterday i pulled a Hector that i'm gonna use for DC obviously since i already have a Hector. The problem being: who's gonna take it? Here are the candidates:

Neutral IV +1 Mathilda (So she can fight back against mages and archers and use CA3 effectively)
+Atk -HP Alm (I think i can pull it off so i can counter mages since he still has above 20 Res)
+Atk -Res F!Celica (Same as Alm)
+Res -HP Sigurd (I'd lose Close Def, but it would help him take on those pesky mages)
+Spd -HP Ninian (She uses a Res refined Light Breath since i'm not using her as a nuker but more a supporter and retaliate to archers and mages allows her to buff her allies in all circumstances)
+HP -Res Sheena (She'd be the third unit in my Armor Emblem to counter both meelee and ranged alongisde my +2 BK and my +Def -Res Zelgius)
+Atk -Res +1 Corrin (F) (She'll be a debuffer mostly so i'm planning on keeping Dark Breath on her)
Zephiel (You know why)

And there you have it. Opinions?

Eh, none of these options really impress me; I suppose Sheema would be able to run it well if you were to ever get better IVs

^This^
Sheena is the best DC I've seen, you can always merge later for better IVs. Just not Sigurd, he isn't as good with it as they say.

I'd go with Sigurd or Zephiel personally. Take your pick!

Sheena, because a full DC ward armor emblem is very annoying and you already got 2 DC reds.

The worst candidate is Sigurd, because it counters his own crusaders ward

Mathilda is a decent option if you like her, I just dont think she is that good of a unit

Ninian is also decent, Light Breath Distant Counter is not bad, although she is better used with the Windsweep build imho

Alm and F!Celica are not enemy phase units imho

F! Celica not an enemy phase unit? Its true that she does flourish on the enemy phase, but she can tank a damn Reinhardt. That's a true testament to her bulk.

Sigurd is probs your best bet. But it would be cool to see how well it works on Alm since he would be able to heal rather quickly any major damage from mages. I actually just pulled a +res Alm and thought of putting distant counter on him.

Some units that work well with it that i use just as other options are Joshua, Florina, and Myrrh.
