Summer Elise, -Def, +Res - can I make her into a res tank?

I finally got one of the two summer units I really, really wanted from the previous summer banner but while her bane is optimal, her boon... not as much? So I wanted thoughts on if I could turn her into a res tank with a bit of stat mucking, if I'm better off trying to make up for her lack of boon in attack/speed, or if I just just hope I happen to be lucky enough to reroll.

With those IVs she's very close to Delthea. I'd probably run Green Tomebreaker so she can deal with the merged fastest green tomes or slower users of Green Tomebreaker like Julia. Desperation is fine too but it can be tricky to get into range. Gronnblade is her best tome allowing for some ridiculous one shots or being able to two shot most units.

She's still offensive, I don't see any reason to give up the A slot or seal to run anything defensive like Fortress Res. Even with Fortress Res in the A Slot it's not enough to land ploys on everyone while unmerged.

Slap a +speed or +atk seal on her and just run a normal set

Entirely reasonable, totally viable.

I have +atk -HP, and I find her bulk unremarkable in any category. With the superboon and neutral HP, it's a bit different. 32 res (fury) is respectable; if you want you could give her an owl tome and refine it for res, then she's sitting on 37 res 36HP with one teammate adjacent, which is really not bad. If you want to go heavy on the res, spd/res bond instead of fury, but atk/spd bond would probably be better, or just use fury and atk ploy and/or spd ploy because the map shows her with 35 res. Yeah, since she has such a nice atk stat to begin with, this can work. With fury and owl tome she has 50atk 37spd without adjacent allies. She can go for G tomebreaker or QR with the idea of blocking their double and doubling back with a moonbow, which will also work against blue mages and even archers and daggers who can't OHKO her (the owl tome would help significantly). Before you do all this, though, you might like to consider that +res Nino has 30 res before any weapons, skills or merges.

I also recommend you consider the roles in your barracks. Do you have a green blade tome already? Do you want a second aggressive green tome? (Can be useful in AA/squad assault.)
