What to do with this new Ephraim?

Just pulled a +hp -spd Ephraim, which i'm not too mad about because his spd is awful anyway. My plan is to give him Reposition, Bonfire, Fury, Lancebreaker, and Hone Spd, which is fine, but what should i do for his weapon upgrade? His +Eff weapon is not bad, but with fury it will only activate once, so I'm leaning towards the +Def one, which will give him a meaty 53 hp and 39 def. Thoughts?

I would run a Steady Breath or Steady Stance 3, Quick Riposte 3, refine your weapon to the +Def, and go for the Close Def seal, and also put Aether or Bonfire (if Steady Stance 3) on him.

If this is too expensive, I would run Triangle Adept 3, Lancebreaker 3, +Def refined Weapon, Moonbow, and use him to support a Green mage (Blade tome user) with Hone Speed 3, Fortify Res 3 Seal, Rally Defense or Reposition.

Your plan is also good (+Def refine), I would consider this too, but I think all options depend on your team's strenghts and weaknesses.

I personally like the QR weapon effect. I’d build him as hard support - with Hone speed, dual rally def/res.
Then for his other skills, depending which way you go with his weapon upgrade - if you go +defence, give him bonfire and QR, if you use his QR upgrade, I’d give him renewal or a breaker skill. A slot is your choice, mine has death blow.

Here is my build out. With Triangle Adept and Lancebreaker he can counter red and lance users. The new special gives him an auto double attack on his first attack. Then with Hone Speed, Fortify Def, and his weapon he gives +4 buff to speed, defense, and attack. Nice multipurpose unit.
