Distant Counter/QR worth giving to Brave Ike?

Edit: Thanks for the answers! Should I bother replacing Beorc's blessing with QR?

Hey team! My B.Ike is +def - res and I was wondering if it was worth giving him DC. Seeing as his res is a measly 17, and the fact that most ranged attackers are mages, it doesn't seem worth it.

Plus, with archers/daggers, he can take a hit or two and smack them next phase. Advise? :D Thanks.

Keep steady breath. He can tank just about anything ranged thanks to Urvan, and then can hit back with a charged Aether on player phase.

B.Ike doesn't need distant counter. He works perfectly fine with steady breath. With steady breath he is one of the greatest physical tank out there. Magic has never been his thing. Keep Hector instead.

I wonder then who would benefit most to inherit DC... I don't use Hector at all so it's a bit of a waste having him there! Haha. Thanks for your time to reply my question!

I'm just gonna go right out and say it, DC B!Ike is just silly. Seeing as what makes B!Ike so good is Urvans effect to make him be able to tank almost anything (Even some red mages) but DC gets rid of that because he counter attacks. Especially now that Dorcas is a thing, DC B!Ike is 100% outclassed by Dorcas since he can have both DC and Steady breath and has more res anyway. The only argument for DC is can see is him being able to Counter buffed cavalry mages because of Beorcs Blessing. But even then, without DC urvan ensures that he stays alive (And he can reliably run aether, so he actually has health sustain) so there is no reason not to just keep steady breath on and let him continue to be a tank.

Thanks for the reply!
