Keep or Fodder?

Today I pulled a Nephenee with +ATK -RES, one of her best IV distribution. I initially wanted to summon her so I can fodder her Wrath off to the Black Knight, but what stopped me is her excellent IV's.

Should I keep and build her or should I treat her as a Wrath fodder? Why or why not?

If you continue to summon then keep and w8 maybe you get a second Nep.
She is a good Blue Hero should you still not have a good Blue Hero slot.
You can still sac. her for BK if you do not need her.

well, the answers to your question will most likely be opinion-based.
I, for my part, would keep her.
Even if she didnt have those great IVs tbh
I run Vantage on both of my Black Knights (keeping both for the moment just for fun) and i like it better than wrath.
I would love to draw nephenee myself, to make her my main blue unit, but alas, my luck wont let me.
There are many options for BK aside from wrath - Quick Riposte and Vantage being rather popular choices - and he already is an immense powerhouse.

So TL:DR
Id keep nephenee and make her a beast that can ravage the fields alongside Black Knight and pick one of the other options for his skillset.
You can always feed him wrath another time when you get lucky enough to pull it.

Thanks to both of you. I have concluded that I will add Neph to my roster for the sake of diversity and... personal favoritism. I try not to let the latter feeling get the best of me over optimism, but I do see her use now.

Once again, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

And yes, I agree there are other options than going for Wrath for the Black Knight or unless I am lucky enough to pull another Neph again in the future.

I'd personally keep her, but if you even have to ask, the answer hinges on the rest of your barracks.

* Do you have good lance infantry units, particularly Brave Lucina and Ephraim? I'd only consider foddering her off if you've near-optimal builds for both.
* What does your total roster of blue units look like? I'm of the mind that everyone should shoot for a roster of 7-10 of each color, good 5* or high merge 4* units... Maybe closer to 10 of red/blue/green to account for the lower pool of great colorless units.
* Other options for BK. Wrath is great on him, but not the only B-Slot that can turn him into a monster. If you've a spare 4* Vantage 3, 5* QR3 fodder, or even 4* QR2 fodder, I'd consider those as well...

If anything, I'd save your decision until after the Dauntless Crimeans banner ends in a few days. Oscar will most likely be the only unit added into the 4* pool, but there is still an off chance that it might be Nephenee, or both of them. A unit like her being the addition doesn't completely follow the pattern, but it wouldn't be the first time they've broken convention, even in this month alone (hello S+ tier free TT unit, not to mention things like Reinhardt being the 4* instead of Olwen, etc). I have a similar predicament, with a much worse (+hp/-res) Nephenee, and I'm also waiting it out, since I REALLY want to feed her Slaying Lance+ to my Lukas and would feel better about doing so if I knew I could upgrade a better Neph at the cost of feathers, instead of money and sanity.

I have a +ATK -HP Brave Lucina in which I personally think she has a use of her own right. I do not have Ephraim and looking at my list of Lance users, it's quite shallow now that you've pointed that out.

So I have come to decision to keep Neph.

Don't get rid of her. Those are fantastic IV's, and she'll be an even better damage dealer.
