IV options for L! Ephraim

So I got a -hp +res one and a -hp +spd one, and I wonder which one is better for a defensive L! Ephraim.
I have considered giving him Bercut Lance and Distant counter on +res one, or just Flame Siegmund without Distant counter being a physical tank?

Much appreciated for your advice!

I believe I have a +spd/-hp Ephraim, and he does fine on his own beating everything with his standard set. :) though the Berkut Lance/DC is an interesting choice for him, I would hold on to that for someone like Mathilda who has Cancel Affinity or someone else with higher res. I’ve even seen Effie with that build Lance/DC build and that really isn’t too terrible for the army of one.

I think -hp/+spd is fine. He avoids more doubles this way (though obviously not against the speediest of red units).

Thx! I think I will proceed with +spd one and save Hector for someone else. But a +spd/-hp one probably just can't get a single touch from any mage...Just like Siegbert :(

Well, that’s the nice thing about this Ephraim. He’s a horseman, so you can keep just out of their range so they come to you, then close that distance quick.

Unless they have those dang pit traps that block cavalry. :P I hate those things. Lol.

If you keep a cavalry unit close to him with Ward, I think he should be fine. :)
