Roy build part 2 - uses for null follow-up

After my post about Roy a few hours back, I think I know how I wanna do this.

One thing to be careful of is the B skill, Null followup.
Not likely to get another one soon (this one was by pure chance) so I wanted to ask this:

What are good characters/builds that make use out of this skill?
Because in theory it seems a good skill, but I can't think of too many units who'd really like it.

Build for Roy:

Well too start Null Follow Up only stops skills, if the unit can double naturally he would still get doubled and 36 Spd is an easy number to hit

True, but most of the units using bold fighter (which is the main use for this skill), they won't have 36+spd. Maybe L!Tiki, but with good use of buffs..

A lot of the foes using bold fighter rely on it.

Yeah, 31 speed can be annoying when fighting other units like the speedy swordfighters. But I don't think it matters for null followup

As GVader pointed out, Roy can only benefit from this skill against bold fighters; units like Ayra can still wreck him. Guard is my recommendation for him.

I haven't found better uses for null follow-up than the few I originally came up with: fast tanks, debuffers with speed, and certain defense-specific (ex: AR def) strategies. Take, for example, Legault, give him fortress def/res and either bottled juice or smoke dagger, and put a healer on the team. He should be able to hit mostly anything safely and inflict a lot of debuffs. Or give it to someone like Sharena or M.Corrin or some fast manakete like the Adrift Corrins. Or this, which is nasty on a defense team with a WoM dancer (finish the build according to the team)
