Which Lyon build is better?

So atm I'm running Triangle Adept, Swordbreaker, and I still have the Drive Resistance for now, all that with his legendary Naglfar he's pretty good at killing colorless and sword units, though I've noticed he still has a harder time dealing with high Res green units. I mean my Rhajat can kill all green units more effectively even with TA on Lyon :P

So I'm just theory crafting, but would a Hector build work on him? Close Counter, Vantage, and with the Quick Riposte seal? I mean both of his defenses are average, at best, but would this not make him more of a threat, at least when attacking him? And if this is better, is Naglfar his best option if I don't have access to the red Owl Tome?

I guess I'm just sad he's so underwhelming, was expecting better from the "Demon King" lol So I'm trying to find a way to make him better outside of the typical "Raven" build :P

I use him with his base weapon and TA3 and he works just fine. He tanked a +10 Brave Lyn like she was made of wet noodles (he wasn't on a def tile btw although he has S summoner support, S support with P!Azura and he was rallied in def and res by my Ephraim)

The thing is that his speed is Naga-awful, so it's kinda difficult to actually do much of anything since it'll take more than 1 hit to kill a lot of units, even with Triangle Adept.

I'm wondering if an Owl tome would work on Lyon.

Close Counter could work, of course, along with Quick Riposte, but that's pretty expensive just for a Raventome + TA build, in my opinion.

And yeah, Lyon is extremely underwhelming.
