Who Likes Death Blow Nowadays?

Back at Skill Inheritance's beginning I wanted DB on absolutely everyone, but had nobody who had level 3. Now we're a year into the game and it seems I've been sitting on two spare Kleins for ages without reason.

No matter who I try to think up I almost always think against it in favor of an alternative,which beings me to the question:
Which heroes use Deathblow in our meta nowadays?

Obviously it's a Reinhardt go-to.
Felicia seems fair, but like many cases I feel Fury does the job better (and slightly more accessible, yet with higher competition for fodder)
I do have a +Spd/-Not Atk PA!Olivia who may work well with a Poison Dagger, but honestly I haven't got her to Lvl 40 to really see her in use.
Most high-tier defense Effies run DC+Silver or similar lance that I've seen, I rarely see an old-school+Brave Effie.

Those are just the ones that immediately come to my mind in my barracks, I'd love to hear what you all think/possess/have seen. Any great units for Deathblow?

Most Brave builds still prefer DB. Fury is generally for units who either want to preserve bulk while wanting some more atk/spd or trying to meet a certain HP threshold. LnD works best for units with poor defenses to begin with but have incredible atk/spd spread.

Basically DB is great on units who want to hit hard then get out. They don't need the defenses or spd to prevent doubles if you don't plan on keeping them in the front lines anyway. Having said that, Firesweep users may also want DB too if they have the speed to double or have no access to high end skills like Swift Sparrow.

DB is also a great alternative for units who are waiting on a specialized build like Effie and her DC+Silver/Berkut set. Otherwise DB+Brave is her next best option.

Rein?
Julia?
Michaiah?
Any bladetomes mage (if you don't run desp)
Also Cherche and other brave build (+atk cherche with brave+ and db3 is amazing)

H!Jakob, Sanaki, Elincia just to name a few. Brave bow Jakob is just incredible, great dmg and bulk with wary fighter. Sanaki is another candidate, +atk iv + weapon refine + death blow + attack seal can get her nearly 70 magic dmg nuke. Elincia has death blow by default and it goes well with her brave weapon.

In addition to what the other guys said, death blow works well on bold fighter users if you really want to invest in their player phase.

Uhh we just got refines on Alm and Raven and I need it for both of them. +atk Db Raven with an Infantry Pulse partner and glimmer just one shots 80% of units. Only the bulkiest of Reds and greens just barely survive at +10
Death blow is still a top3 A skill, imagine DB3 s seal....
