Ideas for a W!Ephraim Build?

I managed to get a +Atk -Spd W!Ephraim, and I'm not sure if I should change any of his skills. Considering what he has, I don't think there's anything to change as he is made to be a lone tank. However, I would like the communities opinion. Perhaps Ignis as a special, or a Seal that would make him stronger, etc.

I'd say give him Aether and either Deflect Magic 3 or Deflect Missile 3 seal if you don't want to give him distant counter. I'm honestly leaning away from giving him Distant Counter as well, considering Atk/Def solo.

Armored Boots is also a nice option to pair with Aether as it gets him into the fight quicker and can refill his HP when it procs. Although, you could also have an Ally Support unit with Armor March follow him to keep reapplying the buff after W! Ephraim initiates combat/has used his turn.

Since you have a +Atk IV I'd say stick with Dragon Fang unless you want a fast special like Glimmer. You can also consider Quick Riposte for those Melee engagements if you have him bait an enemy. And a healer or Aether could keep QR 3 active.

Got some ideas here, maybe that helps?
