(Not Brave) Ike with poor nature

While pulling again on the CYL Banner today, I ended up summoning a standard Ike instead of the Brave. Still cool tho, but his nature is -Spd +HP. I think this is bad since it gives him a Speed of 28, so the whole world doubles him.
What build will be the best on him then ? I already have a perfect +Atk Ryoma so Ike will have a hard time finding a place in my main teams, but I guess it could be a good addition for Arena Assault teams.

I could also sacrifice him for Heavy Blade but, it's kinda cruel and I like Ike so...

Thanks in advance !

-Spd just means you'll have to rely on Quick Riposte over Vantage for him to start making follow-ups, which is just what he needed with a Heavy Blade set so although these IVs aren't really good, Quick Riposte is there to fix up that speed issue.

That's unfortunate but - silver lining - the meta has been getting faster and faster so 34 speed isn't as great as it once was.

I might suggest QR in the B slot instead of Vantage... But I love Vantage so much that it's hard to recommend that.

I'd also consider Threaten ATK in the C slot. That will help proc Heavy Blade while making him last longer in a fight.
