Value of Mystic Boost? Part 3: Builds I find Convincing

Besides Alm, who I think pretty much everybody agrees benefits a lot from mystic boost.

Patterns:
- lots of galeforce going on. This is because renewal is generally too slow if units are taking multiple counterattacks per turn.
- no infantry
- all of them are pretty tanky in at least one defensive stat

Shigure: problem is, it requires a very rare seasonal weapon (and I missed it)

Beruka: I can scarcely think of a better B-skill besides maybe def/res link...maybe chill atk?

Simply QR?

Granted, with a 4 charge special, it doesn't really help since the ennemy attacks, you counter, he doubles you... it's 3 charges and you don't get to proc ignis on your final attack.
So maybe swap to bonfire if using QR.

Or use a Slaying Axe+ so Ignis becomes a 3 charge special, but then you gotta take in consideration the fact that you will eat some specials, which impairs your tanking.

Siegbert: with hone cavalry, his offenses are already quite strong, so he could potentially even put heavy blade in his A-slot (thus leaving it for someone else) and use the atk/def 2 seal.

EDIT: the image isn't showing up on my screen, so here's the build:
IV: +spd -res (-HP is ok too)
Dark Greatsword
Galeforce
Sturdy blow
Mystic boost
Cavalry buff
Heavy blade

Receives: hone cavalry

L.Eirika: can become quite tanky with the def superboon and fortify cavalry. But if you don't want to sac an Eir, escape route is pretty fine imo

L.Ephraim can do something similar.
