Placeholder B skill in place of Wrath for Ayra

So, with ~30 orbs, I pulled on the Counter-regardless-of-distance banner and got a spare Hector, with the intention of foddering off DC for my merged Ayra (currently at +2). Been toying with the idea of Slaying Edge/DC build for her, but there's just a little problem: I don't have Wrath at the moment. No one uses the QR seal on the infantry team she'll be part of, so I can use that for her, but now leaves the question of what to use on B for the meantime. I got the following three choices in mind:

a. Vantage = would help to kill off threats before they get the chance to put Ayra away as the fight drags on.

b. Renewal = the health topup would help Ayra get back to QR range.

c. Swordbreaker/Axebreaker = primarily Player Phase skills which would help in Ayra doubling certain units and proccing Regnal Astra to send the other guy/girl packing.

Which one of these would be a good momentary (at least) alternative to Wrath? Any other alternatives that you guys can suggest?

Thanks.

Honestly? The Gamepress optimal build isn't that "optimal." Ayra does not have the resistance to be a reliable mage tank, and has a base kit that is more than optimal for any of your needs. I feel that she doesn't need nor want the DC or Wrath. Also, she doesn't really need QR. She's fast enough and should double most units, even with the DC build.

I'm not really concerned about mage threats much, as I got a mage tank on the team she'll be in. What I am concerned about, though, would be dagger/bow users that may put the screws to her before she can come in and kill.

Assuming neutral nature, she only hits 40 spd.

Shes not suposed to be a "reliable mage tank" shes just supposed to have enough magical bulk to get her reliably into wrath range and get the drop on unsuspecting enemies...which she has

Any mage with decent attack will nuke her almost instant, almost entirely negating the use of DC. It's a far more worthwhile investment on a dedicated tank.

Ok.
Vantage: ye it could work, but the way to play it is to bait a bulky hero that you need to hit twice to ko, so that her special is ready to go on vantage range for the next enemy. Not sure how reliable that is tho...

Renewal: errrr....not sure about it. She needs support for that to work so there are better options. But that 240 sp is indeed worth it for arena

Breakers: since you aready plan on using her with qr. It will mostly come into play with bold fighter users (esp bk/zelgius). But they are cheap so you can go ahead and test them out.

You could....still run her native desperation and see how it performs but she will need the spd support

So ye....except for renewal theyre all prety cheap skill you can inherit and test out on her
