F!Robin build questions

I love Robin far, far more than is strictly rational (probably going to summoner support her, if that gives you an idea), and now that I've fully built my Nino, I can actually afford to focus on other green mages. I'm a little torn on how to build her, though.

In these days of cavalry meta, is TA Raven tome still considered her optimal build? Gronnwolf is starting to seem like a really underrated spell about now.
Granted, either way would allow Robin to check Reinhardt/Brave Lyn/Camus, and Raven is more versatile overall, so it's probably the way to go, but I want to double check. Also, what would her best B slot be? I know the conventional wisdom is G Tomebreaker so she can also check green mages, but given that most of the other green mages running around have high resistance and Robin has pretty low attack, does it really do much?

Edit for bonus question: is there anyone out there who actually can make good use of Gronnwolf? Maybe my +atk -def 4* Soren who's going to be sitting around with a million SP and nothing to do once the TT is over?

Well you're right, Raven!TA is still her best set since she's one of, if not the best user of it.

As for her B-Slot with Raven, I think Bowbreaker is top tier right now due to Brave Lyn and her ability to deal with Bows in general. I honestly don't know about G Tomebreaker, but since she can handle blues with little to no problem, it's still pretty good. One final option is to run QR instead of Blue Tomebreaker as it allows her to deal with both colourless and blues at the cost of getting doubled.

Even though Cavalry units run rampant through Arena right now, I still think Gronnwolf is a fairly niche option.
However, there is a Boey build that can utilise Gronnwolf+ to reliable extent, it runs; Gronnwolf+, Fury, and Bowbreaker.
With this build, Boey can reliably bait all variants of Brave Lyn and kill them back, after killing Lyn, he can then initiate on Reinhardt and OHKO him.

Quick riposte is probably better than Bowbreaker on F!Robin. If Brave Lyn has a Res buff, you will need the extra damage from Bonfire/Luna to kill her and using Bowbreaker will not charge it correctly (when baiting). Also, Quick Riposte will let you ORKO Reinhardt if he reaches 25 speed for a weird reason. In a lot of matchups agaisnt other Green or Blue Tomes Quick Riposte will actually help you win in 1 bait instead of baiting and attacking on your turn. Sure, Bowbreaker let you go on the offensive agaisnt Brave Lyn, but I find baiting her easier and safer most of the times.

I actually love using quick riposte as I like to bait a lot, so this is a great idea! And my Reinhardt reaches 24 spd with Hone Cavalry, so throw in a goad or a spur and it could happen. ;)

Now to start saving up a million feathers to promote a Subaki. (For most units I'd say QR 2 would be sufficient, but this is Robin and I want her to have the best.)

That Boey sounds amazing, I wish I had him now! ;)

Probably gonna go with quick riposte for Robin then, I think it meshes with my play style way better than the breaker skills do. Thanks! :)
