Hi, so I managed to get a Selkie from yesterday's banner, and this let me complete my AR partner for my Cecilia. And while he might be the worst lord in the series (at least Kris gets cool hats), the guy earned a place in my heart after I saw the injustice with how F!Corrin is treated compared to M!Corrin.

I'd like to pick up close/distant guard for him at some point, but I'm not sure which to go for yet. I do have a Veronica spare but I'd rather use her for Wrathful Staff.

So, what is this bizarre Franken-Corrin with double fortress skills? Cecilia's best friend.

Firstly, with Yato and S support, he provides +5-6 to all her stats. That much is obvious, and drive Res(/Drive Def, I switch depending on the season) pushes it further.

Secondly, his impressive bulk means he soaks both Chill Def AND Chill Res for her, ensuring I get full value from her defences.

This isn't just a gimmick, however--the increased Res has helped him shrug off even Ophelia specials when I made errors, and makes him the perfect unit to go deep and break Aether buildings without killing L!Azura or whichever last ranged unit is left alive on the enemy team.

And then there's the recently acquired Sabotage Atk. With 46 base Res, it's safe to say this is gonna be effective on every map and make baiting a lot more viable. I cannot wait to put this bad boy to test this week!

Fantastic! I did something similar with my corrin, although not nearly as much as you. I run drive def in c skill and drive res in his sacred seal, so he gives his s support Caineghis +5 to attack/speed and +8!! to his def/res. I also run Reyson for even more beasty bulkiness.

Corrin is deceptively good. His refine is bonkers, and the +2 to all stats really does wonders for his durability.

I was lucky enough to get a second Selkie, so I am now planning on doing something similar for Light season once I shunt Corrin and W!Cecilia to Astra.

Not sure who I will use for that just yet, though.

What do you mean wingman?! With that Res stat and sabotage attack he'll be giving everyone the Debuff

Awesome! I also use Corrin for TT (Raigh booster) and I love him with LLucina's ward DD skill as I've seen Reinhardt do 0 damage to Raigh. I've been thinking whether or not to +10 him and run a sabotage skill and this has convinced me. Do you run attack due to desire or would you use a different one if you could?

I'd still run attack, given the choice. That debuff is consistently the biggest value.
