What to do with a Brave Sword?

From very close to the release of the game, I've been hanging on to a 5 star Cain with some bad nature. To this day, I've hung on to it, waiting to give brave sword+ to someone. However, in most cases, it seems Slaying Edge or Wo Dao is preferred. That being said, are there any niche builds that make good use of it? I was considering Heavy Blade + Brave Sword or Windweep + Brave Sword on a Soleil or something, but even she seems to prefer her default weapon (or slaying edge), and those builds have limitations due to the low might and speed penalty of the Brave Sword+.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Well, it seems like you're not wanting to use Brave Sword due to how 'outclassed' it is compared to the other swords.

It has less mt.
It can't be refined.
It lowers your speed.

In this case I would say to just use Cain. He's actually a pretty good unit if built right, so might as well make some type of use of him.

Yeah it's a bit outclassed at the moment. It's pure player phase so you'd want to run it with Heavy or Flashing Blade but its low attack and negative speed handicaps both. You could use it on Karla with Swift Sparrow, Moonbow, and Flashing Blade seal. With her Even Spd Wave she'd still hit 45 speed neutral unmerged and 47 attack isn't useless before buffs. The worst part is it charges enemy special so a lot of breath users are going to hit you back with Aether or Ignis and kill you.

Only build that really comes to mind is Brave SwordDeathblow/Bold Fighter Zelgius or BK. I prefer Alondite mysef but it’s an option. Just make sure he has Armor March or Armored Boots so he can actually make use of it
