Sophia or Felicia

I want to build a unit to +10 (it will take a while but I don't care much) and I can't decide between Sophia and Felicia. Take a look at the builds and let me know what you think is best

Sophia
IVs: +Atk -HP
Weapon: Keen Wolf +Eff
Support: Reposition
Special: Glimmer
A: Distant Defense/Close Counter
B: Quick Riposte/Sword Breaker
C: Hone Speed
SS: Distant Defense

Felicia
IVs: +Atk -Def
Weapon: Rogue Dagger +Res
Support: Draw Back
Special: Glacies
A: Mirror Strike
B: Windsweep
C: Drive Defense
SS: Distant Defense
Special: Glimmer

4 or 5 star +10? Also they both seem to serve entirely different functions with these builds for your teams and it more so depends on what you encounter more at a merge that high and what you would need to deal with.

5*+10, and I don't know exactly what I'm going to encounter. Sophia is meant to be a cavalry killer with high defenses and low speed. Felicia is meant to be a mage/dragon tank that has high focus on dealing high Glacies damage and little focus on her defensive stat. Also other team members won't be much of an issue because I have plenty of units I can use to build around them.

Well I've messed with Sophia build math quite a bit myself and you want a Speed Bane no matter what her build or boon is. taking an HP bane actually effects how she functions when a Spd bane is a free bane.

The other issue is killing Horses. Most important is Sigurd, who even Sophia cannot 1 shot with this build unless she runs Swordbreaker and triggers Glimmer when she does, With Deathblow and Atk+3 seal. Granted I ran his match up calculation against a Neutral and +res Sigurd with a Distant Def 3 seal. I'm not sure how the +10 arena shall effect this, but I do know that Close Counter isn't helping when you want to optimize your 'effective vs' damage imo.

I would have a -Speed Sophia but out of my 7 I don't have a single one :/

Also, I failed to take Sigurd into consideration. I could probably use the other units on my team to take him out if needed, though it is interesting how he survives...

Oh BTW, is Glimmer an alright special, or should I use something else? I don't know what special would be best to use for her

Glimmer is ideal exclusively for Keen Rauorwolf because you already are given so much base damage and it secures more solid kills as well. if you don't care for Sigurd it gets easier to bot account for him. It's also good to note Sophia here can take a Mulagir and insta kill Lyn on the first counter, but that was calculated without merges or spur buffs of course.

Alright, I think I might build her. Having a reliable cavalry counter is pretty nice, a good tank is also nice to have and Sophia isn't a very common character, so I guess it would be nice to feel a little unique. Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated!
