Worth, not really
But can be built easily, slap a death blow or keep fury. Quick reposte is good, home cavalry is fine. Iceberg for special.
If you have investment material put a blade tome on him.
Throw him in a horse team and he’ll kill many things.
Not better than horse Eirika but still a decent red horse mage

Wait.. why Death Blow/Fury for the A slot, but Quick Riposte for the B slot? Death Blow is only player phase and Fury, while good for increasing stats, lowers your HP after every fight, which is not all that great for someone to tank.

Only cause he already had quick reposte in the first place. Fury was pretty dumb of me to suggest tho. On a blade tome kit death blow works ok but I felt like his B slot was ok so really no need to change

K it's an interesting situation you have there

- If you give him spd+3 seal and emblem hone, he gets to 37 spd which is actually quite decent and somewhat reasonable for a blade tome. He could even keep his job as a QR anti-ranged unit because he would be using spd to block doubles. If you really want to invest hard, give him spd ploy. I don't think I'd go this route though
- Brynhildr+eff + distant def seal is very solid here, but switch to moonbow because he won't hit that hard and he'll want his special to go off on the second counterattack
- maybe some raven tome option...like, just switch out the tome, don't need TA because his def is actually pretty solid so now you're screwing up the CA units too. The awkward part about this build is that slow mages aren't going to double him anymore, which means you might not get to use iceberg
- salvage for fodder: grab fury 1 from a 3* Bartre/Jagen and QR2 from a 4* Subaki and give fury and QR to some unit that wants both of them. Funnily enough, neutral or +atk Felicia is actually good with this combo. I use it myself. Very solid for when mages get too fast.

He's not a bad unit. Just a bit weird. Your boon is a little awkward but you might just run him in a slightly unusual way. With some speed boost supports, he might actually have a respectable speed stat. You might want to try swapping hone cavalry for fortify cavalry. If Leo is on the receiving end of hone cavalry, rather than the giving end, I think you'll start to appreciate that speed boon a little more. He should be fast enough that you could leave him exposed to A!Tiki without too much fear of her doubling. With just a bit of help, he could also double quite a few armor units, like Hector and M!Grima.

I might still consider sword breaker in the B slot, which will give him excellent mixed phase utility against several top tier units.

PS if you wanted to go with a particularly unusual build, his speed stat is high enough that you could throw Windsweep on him and use him to target units like Hardin. Killing wouldn't be the goal in that case, of course. It would be more for supression. Run a double savage blow set and maybe an AoE special, keep Brynhildr unrefined so that it has gravity, plus the brynhildr refine goes really badly with Fury. And run him with a dancer and draw back to keep him out of trouble.

That would be an odd, niche build lol but could be fun.
