Green Raven User: Boey, Merric or F!Robin?

I want to build a Raven user to help fight those reindhart + blyn that im getting lately.

I have a 5 star merric which was one of my first 5*, and now that i've checked its IVs its +ATK -HP, which is pretty good i think.

In the other hand, i have a 4* boey with -ATK +SPD which i like more as a character, but those IVs seems pretty bad to me.

Then, I have F!Robin which have the same stats as M!Robin so i think that she can run the set good too, but maybe the lack of bane/boon import more than i think.

As almost f2p player (ive spent a few bucks) i have low resources so i can only build one (mostly because u believe it or not, i have only 1 cecilia), so i would like to know who would be better for the build.

I also have a 5* soren +DEF -HP but im not sure if he can use the build correctly

I did the math with merric and he works quite well. As I don't want to spend another 20k on a gronrave + I will feed my Merric to my +Atk S!Camilla I have "re-found" as she is more of an Celica Shotgun

I think +ATK Merric will do fine with TA and Raven. He survives QP Moonbow +ATK Reinhardt with Deathblow and Goad Cavalry with 3 HP and then KOs him on the counter. So you might have some trouble with optimized merged Reinhardts but otherwise you should good with Merric.

It's been awhile since I ran the numbers but if memory serves +DEF enables Soren running TA/Raven to effectively shut down most Brave Lyn builds. Hey, if +RES -SPD Lilina can pull it off I'm sure that +DEF Soren can.

I think Robin(F) is definitely the best Raven!TA user out of the options we have. We also get very easy access for getting her and also getting multiple copies of her for future merging.
Her lack of IVs does punish her slightly, but with her very balanced stat pool, it's not a major concern.

Boey is the next best option with more HP and Defence at the cost of his Resistance, which allows him to deal with Brave Lyn better.
However, the IVs your Boey has are quite dreadful if I'm honest and not worth investing.

Finally, your Merric has great IVs, but he simply does not have the right stats in general to perform as well as the other mages in, well, anything.
The one gimmick he has is the ability to fight Fliers with magic, but due to his low attack, and the higher Resistant stat of Fliers in general, make him much worse than Archers at dealing with Fliers.
However, he can deal with both Reinhardt and Brave Lyn for the meantime.

Everyone already answered that Merric should be your choice, the thing that I can add is Boey won't work because -Atk hurts him a lot, he's better as Earth Boost fodder, sadly, I'm sorry. And, Fem Robin can also works as Raven user as much as Male Robin does, except her color favors her more due to the Reinhardt meta

About your lack of Cecilia, you actually can get 2 copies of her for free from the daily special map, if you haven't done them already

Female Robin actually works shockingly well as a Raven Tome user. I myself was surprised when I crunched the numbers yesterday. A 4 star Female Robin with just a basic Raven Tome, Bowbreaker, Moonbow, and Triangle Adept 2 (not even 3) can ORKO even a +10 Brave Lyn with a Fortify Cavalry buff while taking just 10 damage (she'll need a single Spur Attack buff to ensure the kill though). There are Brave Lyn counters, and then there is "this will kill even the Whales" level of counters.

Boey works well enough, but his low resistance hurts him against Reinhardt. I imagine Merric should work okay enough, but his pitiful attack even at 5 stars is going to hurt him a bit.
