Need an A-Slot for Kinshi!Hinoka. Suggestions?

Rolled a +SPD/-RES Kinshinoka the other day when I was trying for a better Kana and got no greens. I'm happy with the roll, I just don't know what I should give her for an A-Slot ability. With 46/41 ATK/SPD I'm thinking Death Blow or Life and Death, but I'm not sure. I plan to use her as healing/support for my flier team, and don't have a spare Michalis to give her Iote's Shield. Thoughts?

Death Blow, Fury (for Desperation), Swift Sparrow.

Just some I thought of.

Fury would be fairly counterproductive, given her use of Ardent Sacrifice. Swift Sparrow could work, though I personally think that Death Blow would work better, given that she already has fairly solid speed. I could use the extra damage instead.

(Also, as I have had children cry about this before I feel a need to state: that thumbs-down wasn’t me.)

Lol, don't worry about the thumbs down, I get those on practically every comment. :P

Case in point, I suppose. XD
There's an irony in a thumbs-down explaining the thumbs-down. I know the feeling. I've had one or two people stalking me to thumbs-down everything I say every since I said that I hate Celica. XD

It's nice to know they care enough to pay such close attention.

Man...imagine if she already came with a perfectly viable and highly sought after A skill in her base kit. If only.....

I don't use Bond skills. Ever. The only team of mine they would be effective on are my Armored units, and especially useless on my Fliers since they get separated easily. Hence my use of Goad/Ward over Fortify/Hone. I don't use Owl tomes for the same reason.

If you build her with ardent sacrifice you can give her life and death as an A skill and give her desperation as a B skill. Even with a blessing it will only take her one use of ardent sacrifice to get her to desperation mode, this can help her assure kills more safely. There are better B skills than renewal, however of you want to keep it for healing potentials. then using swift sparrow or death blow is her best bet. Atk Spd bond is awesome too.

Sadly, until Amaterasu becomes an ability, the best bet I have for Hinoka as a healing/support unit is Renewal to keep her health up in response to Adrent Sacrifice. I did the same thing on S!Camilla until I replaced her with Hinoka (mostly because colored bows now negate her Raven Adept strategy and I need time/feathers to rework her build), so unless Desperation becomes a seal it's not something she'll be using, sadly. Besides, I've actually had some close matches that were won specifically because of Renewal. So I'm thinking some kind of initiate skill would be best for her A slot, like the Sparrow or Death Blow you mention. Maybe Sturdy Blow, given her DEF. Give her a bit more survivability against DC users.
I don't use bond skills, least of all on my fliers. See my above response on why.
