Making an Anti-Meta unit question

I am currently trying to build my Soren (+atk, -def, summoner support). It currently has TA3 and Atk Ploy 3 (I did not hesitate to feed a bad IV summer Leo), and I'm waiting for G Tomebreaker. Choosing between Gronnwolf and Gronnraven is my main dilemma. Both weapons easily kill Reinhardt and Brave Lyn, but with a Raven tome I think he can take a hit from Brave Lyn if she does not run Cancel Affinity (which I think is not ideal most of the time).

Personally I would go with Raven just cause of its synergy with TA3. Wolf would work better if you were running something like fury as an A slot

Raven hands down
Wolf might be tempting, but, there is quite a nice chance that Lyn will survive through one attack from wolf tome and kills Soren instead, though atk ploy nullifies this, but sometimes terrain just isnt cooperating with ploy skills, plus, brave bow build lyn will just shoots through it even with the debuff and kill your soren
With Raven, there won't be an occasion where this happens, except if the lyn in question is anything that isnt -atk, fully buffed, with life and death 3 and brave bow+, she'll just shoot through your Soren

I checked the math. +Atk Brave Bow+ Lyn Atk seal LnD won't kill Raven Soren on initiation if he's summoner supported. Without buffs, she deals (49x0.6-15(Soren's Def at Summoner support))x2= 30 damage to him and retaliates to KO, even in cavalry buffs (36 at cavary buffs)

Summoner support, I see! Well, go with that, I'm sure it will works well.
Good luck with him!

Just want to add that if Lyn runs Cancel Affinity, she'll usually run Firesweep Bow, otherwise there's no reason to remove Blessing. If she does run Firesweep!CA then you can't bait her either way anyways and she'll have plenty of other weaknesses.

So running Raven will deal with both Lyn and Rein and most importantly allow him to still fill the role of a green unit and colourless check, not only just to counter Cavalry.
