Vengeful vs Wary Fighter

I understand the difference between these two, but my question is a little more complex than just what the skills do. If I'm using Winter Erika with Absorb+, meaning she heals every hit, what is the difference in using these two skills besides the special cooldown from Vengeful? Is there any matchup Wary fighter would make her survive that Vengeful wouldn't? Thanks

She’s going to get hit twice so there’s many difference between the two. I recommend you run both on the arctic simulator as it will help you out more than anyone ever could

I know what you're saying, but just looking at the numbers 2 rounds of someone attacking you with wary fighter will give the same result as one round of attacking you with vengeful, since you heal based on hitting the opponent rather than getting the special charged. I guess I should rephrase the question, and ask more if anyone's in game experience makes one the more versatile choice?

I dunno about absorb, but..
2 or more rounds with wary fighter won't happen as much as 1 round with vengeful.

Wary will effectively keep her safe for that one round, while vengeful might work better in mulitple fights agaist opponents that can't kill her in a single round. Especially with miracle.

But there's also the question of cost.
I feel vengeful might not bring enough to be worth using if you don't plan on using Eirika for damage.
Wary is MUCH cheaper

The main takeaway was the simulator

Units that have huge specials such as slow bold fighters doubling into an ignis or most units using wrath. Akariss showed a build I found fairly compelling when he analyzed the units with the statlines, and I concluded that the main threat is if the second hit registers something like 80 damage minus her defense. 42HP, 33 def. If she heals for 18HP (i.e. her attacker has terrible res), 60 HP and 33 def, which means any unit that hits her twice needs to get through 126 physical bulk. A lot of units can manage 50-54 atk, so the special needs to do 18-26 damage to take her down before miracle charges.

Since she cannot retaliate with her special, I think better that she uses wary fighter and her teammates get a chance to punish her attacker. Most of her power does not come through her special and a lot of mages hit harder than her, so I wouldn't open her up to opponent specials just for an extra hit.

This. The only skill she is even capable of using that might make vengeful moderately worth considering is Miracle, and that's still debatable, so that in and of itself is rather limiting. All of her other specials should charge quickly even with wary fighter, and wary fighter will help her tank longer.

If your heart is set on doubling enemies for better damage output, something like guard+QR seal would still probably be safer overall.

When she can't hit back, I guess

Well.... with Wary she actually has a chance to live from an Armor Eff weapon, notice I say almost
