Eirika's best build?

I recently got a somewhat decent eirika (+atk -res) to pair with my nino and a corrin F, and saw that there are 2 build in the page, the hp+swordbreaker and the furynewal.
Is there a consensus on which is best?
And why would you choose each one?

Considering you have a Female Corrin, who will eat any sword attack up and dish out great damage in return, Id say probably the furynewal set. However, you can always create your own build to tailor suit your needs, as I don't know how well she would mesh with your team

I suppose the answer lies in your preference. Both sets are not necessarily better than the other, but they both prove effective. If you want a generally stronger Eirika, the furynewal set is good. If you have trouble with strong sword lords like Lucina, then the swordbreaker set is good. Personally, both sets do not exactly catch my fancy because I plan to give my Ephraim the furynewal set and he can handle red lords well on his own.

A Slot: Death Blow
B Slot: Swordbreaker
C Slot: Same
Rally Defense or Resistance
Special: Moonbow

Generally, as long as she has a Rally support to a defensive stat and Moonbow the rest is up to preference. However, if your team currently has no dedicated Red Lord check (FCorrin kinda half-checks Falchion's in my experience) Swordbreaker is an excellent addition to her kit. My Eirika currently has no A Slot (holding out for a Death Blow) and she does fine just with Sword Breaker, Rally Defense, and Moonbow. Honestly, if you play that team correctly with a Desperation Nino you're nuking anything anyways so her set outside of the Rally won't matter. With a nuke of that capacity the rest of Eirika's set should only matter if you're running her in your first team slot so that she'll be on arena defense.

Eirika made it back into my main team and will probably stay there :)
Using her as support for (building Nino atm for the same team) and she can even fight on her own. IV: +atk - res
Skills: Noontime, Pivot, Fury, Swordbreaker, Hone Spd and a +3HP seal

Noontime might be replaced in future and was quite happy with pivot but will maybe go for rally defense as soon as Nino is done.

I have a blade build linde and the +hp build but with axe breaker if you don't have a hector counter is amazing, if your corrin has triangle adept and can counter redswords i say go with axe breaker
