Help for this unit's build please

This is his team. I plan to +10 him eventually by the way.
He'll have Close Counter for his A skill.

I'd like either a speedy build with Spd refined Fishie Bow,and Spd Wave.
Or a more mixed tank build with a Res refined Guard Bow and Res Wave.

You could also suggest a different seal if you want. I just think Close Defense can be good for him.

New Year's Corrin has the highest defenses in the game for an archer at 34. Making him one of the better candidates for Close Counter, so I like the thought of Guard Bow, Close Def seal, and QR.

A speedy build is possible if enforced, however, Close Counter would have to be ditched to reach a speed of 40+ when a Spd Wave is activated.

However, there is something I would like to point out. New Year's Corrin's ability to support allies is pheonominal. With base kit and no skill inheritance, he can buff and ally's Def and Res by 8 each. Just something to keep in mind.

Whichever one you use if fine. However, I noticed, aside from mixed phase Hector, you lack player phase units.

40+ can be reached with Close Counter actually. But yeah, I'm aware that'd mean less speed.

His base kit is fine, but I think he can run better sets with a better bow, movement assist and C skill.

Robin and Myrrh can be mixed phase too regardless of their Enemy Phase builds.

A speedy Corrin would mean a mixed phase build because he'd still count with QR, while a mixed tank with Res buffs would be more Enemy Phase oriented.

Copy my Gordins build for him! I go CC, Guard, QR, Slaying Bow Def (idk if yours is better), bonfire/Ignis, Attack Smoke/ Even Def Wave. I think Corrin is gr8 you should go for it

That's a full Def tank build, which is fine; But I think Hector and Myrrh already cover that well enough (which is why I'm debating between a speedy build or a mixed tank build), plus Hector needs the QR seal now that he has Bold Fighter.

Well, if I go with a mixed tank build he can sit and counter physical/magic foes from any range.

If I go with a speedy build he can take advantage of it on Player Phase and still do some damage on Enemy Phase with Quick Riposte.

The fishie bow idea is interesting. Maybe something like this could work? Ignis bombs for days. Ofc Swift sparrow is a good option if atk spd solo isn't accessible.

The only problem is he will need speed support for turns where he isn't getting the buff from the wave skill.

I know what you mean, I feel weird not giving Leon CC for similar reasons.

In my situation I basically boiled it down to either going all in on defense or buffing his speed and turning him into a support with Clarisse's Bow, CC, windsweep, and phantom speed seal. The only thing is daggers are much better with the CC/sweep builds. But it could work.

I should've mentioned this too, but Robin's C skill is supposed to be something like a Wave skill too.

And I was also planning a Shining Bow with Chill Res for Corrin as another option.
