How would you build a +Defense -Resistance Male Robin?

Male Robin was one of my very first pulls along with Lucina and I've had him ever since the game came out. I think it's time to give him an upgrade.

What builds best suit his spread?

I run Triangle Adept 2, Blárraven+, Bowbreaker 3, Bonfire, Draw Back, Spur Def 3, and the Breath of Life seal on mine (-HP +SPD). It was inexpensive to upgrade him and drastically improved his performance.

I might, eventually, upgrade him to TA3 but missing that 5% really hasn't been much of a hindrance...definitely not worth 20k feathers or diverting a sacrificial Roy from another project.

His resistance and HP are not high enough to run a Ploy skill so the C slot is flexible. I left it Spur DEF to be cheap but it can be whatever buff the team needs most. On his own I suppose Threaten ATK or Threaten RES would do alright but, personally, I don't like their range so I rarely use them.

For his A slot... I think the new seals open up the possibility of running Blárraven+ without Triangle Adept. For one, Fury 3 alongside the Distant Defense 3 Seal would allow him to remain very effective against archers while giving him more general utility. Alternatively, there's always Close Counter which also seems far more viable now that Seals can be upgraded. Fortress DEF would be another option if you were more interested in burst damage than regular...but it seems like a waste of his decent offenses unless you had some sort of support (like Infantry Pulse). Sadly, Steady Breath is melee only as it would have been fantastic on him...I suppose Steady Stance would work alright as well but, personally, I'd probably stick with the more available Fortress DEF to avoid sacrificing a Black Knight.

You just gave me an idea for a build. What do you think about this?

Weapon: Blarraven+
Passive Skill: Swap
Special Skill: Bonfire
A, B, and C Skills: Fury 3, Renewal 3, Fortify Defense 3
Sacred Seal: Distant Defense 2. (I'll upgrade it to 3 later. I don't have the energy for that right now after training my Male Corrin, Brave Lucina, and Alfonse...)

I can't run it through the damage calculator yet but I think it's solid. Renewal is a nice touch...with the big defensive boosts of the new seals I think that sustain is going to be more important going forward.

I have triangle adept 3, renewal 3/blue tome breaker and threaten atk/res with breath of life seal and reposition/swap and bonfire

Raven, Swap, Moonbow, TA, Swordbreaker/Bowbreaker as needed, Hone Spd, whatever seal you prefer. QP is really nice on this build for TT runs.
