In my current Horse Emblem template (aimed more at the PvE aspects like Chain Challenge and Tempest Trials), I currently have a red tank and a blue tank in the form of Xander and Berkut respectively (I missed out on Camus). To complete the system for maximum interchangeability, I need an axe cavalier.
Jokes aside, Titania so far looks to be the best choice, especially with her stronger resistance and the possibility of grabbing a Def+ IV to make her more of a mixed tank (Slaying Axe+ with a Def-increasing refinement aids in this). Frederick is the other obvious option, but his lower Spd and Res have me a little turned off, especially considering how slow most Blade nukes are- Leo and Cecilia in particular.
All that being said, which of the two is better?
EDIT: I've realized that a lot of people are taking my statement about Berkut and Xander to mean that I plan on running all three of these units on the same team. For clarification, I will NOT be doing that. Berkut and Xander are being built for my Horse Emblem Tank archetype, which uses Distant Counter and higher defenses to defeat both melee and ranged threats. My team template consists of a tank, duelist, nuke, and healer.
The question is whether to use Titania or Frederick as my DC tank for the green color. Distant Counter regularly proves easier for me to obtain than Close Counter, which is why I'm asking about axe cavaliers over using Cecilia.
