How to use Sigurd?

I thought he was amazing and tried to get him on every banner then finaly succeded twice in herofest. I have a +atk -hp and +def -spd
He always feels like an anoying tank on the oposition but im not sure what to do with him now i have him. He looks like a worse Xander esp with the +def -spd that is aparently optimal for his tank build.

Yes its nice he can survive many mage hits but Xander can outright kill Comon green mages and archers. Any build, team or playstyle tips would be great!
Thanx
I think hes so cool and want to use but not feeling he fits my playstyle of hard counters. My roster is full of Triangle adept + breaker units for Arena Assault to ko those pimped +10 armos etc.

He really just needs his base kit, and Distant Def 3 as a seal. He tanks so much in the game already. You could also give him DC, and have him be able to retaliate too.

Sorry to say, but he's in no way a worse Xander, he's way better than Xander due to better speed and ridiculous survivability thanks to Divine Tyrfing and Crusader's Ward. Sure Xander has DC in his weapon, but it's offset due to his pitiful res and can really only tank one hit from a mage, even a green mage does a lot of damage without TA or DD. imo his best A slot is DC, while it contradicts a bit with Crusaders Ward, I mostly use it for the first hit, and it still works with Desperation mages and the ever present Reinhardt. But CD is still a really good a slot on him to tank attacks on both fronts.

DC, Crusader's Ward is all he needs. You could also add Deflec Melee to give him that damage reduction effect across the whole spectrum, minus daggers and staves(but only B!Ike can reduce those IIRC)

But cmon guys ward does not work with DC also i will never be able to give him dc any way. He is not an ideall Rein check, can he even kill a Rein in one round and the next turn? So lets asume base kit, physical tank. What iv and type of teammates? How should my game plan play out? Im sooo used to just R1 ko bait kills..

He's an incredible tank. Just slap DD3 seal and throw him in the fray.
He's never disappointed me, and he'll never disappoint you either.

Personally, I run mine with CD3 and CD3 sacred seal alongside his base kit with moonbow. The man can tank like a monster and he made my Xander pretty much obsolete.
