Fourth Infantry Team Member: Leon or Sothe

I summoned 3 4* Leons, all with good IV's (two have -HP, +Atk and one has -Res, +Spd) and 2 4* Sothe, one with good IV's (+Atk, -Res) and the other is LnD fodder. I'm trying to decide which one I want on my infantry team I'm building.
On the team, I have B!Ike, A!Tiki, and Micaiah. B!Ike will be getting Infantry Pulse.
For Sothe, I was thinking he would be a buff/debuff unit with Peshkatz to help out the team with buffs and debuffs on the foes.
For Leon, I was thinking about using his great attack as an offensive unit with swordbreaker.
So, Leon or Sothe? Or maybe another unit? Ideas for builds are also appreciated.

Either one can be appreciated if built correctly. I'd personally go with Sothe because his buff and debuff skill weapon is absolutely amazing, especially using Windsweep, but Leon with Brave Bow+, or Slaying Bow+, can be really deadly.

Your team has 2 physical tanks, 1 magical tank that doubles as anti-cav/armor. In terms of EP defense, you're covered. You have units whom can easily spread smokes with ease as well, just tearing apart the enemy's basic ability to function and deal damage.

Since you would like more offense, Brave Bow Leon is worth looking into. He can ORKO the Res-tankier Swords that Tiki or Miccy may leave alive once every 3 yearsYou can't reliably bait out reds as easily as blues and greens, so Swordbreaker is worth considering.

Your team can't really take advantage of Sothebecause Sothe doesn't have cavaliers/dancers to either descend on the wounded or to Reposition chain him back. So he becomes a much riskier, less rewarding unit than he can potentially be. Besides, Attack Smoke on Leon or Tiki deals with basically every issue your team would have with taking blows, making Sothe's mixed debuffs less meaningful.

Anyways, the full Leon build:

Leon
+Atk/-HP > +Spd/-Res
Brave Bow +
Reposition (The prevalence or survivable tanks means he never needs to Swap in)
Ignis (Infantry Pulse Synergy)
Death Blow 3
Swordbreaker 3
Attack Smoke 3
Seal: Atk + 3

Thanks for the advice! This build looks really strong, only problem is probably getting Atk Smoke, but I have the Seal. Maybe for a C skill I'll give him Savage Blow for now.
