Hero Build Overview/Explanation
Death Knight is built to be a mobile ball of stats. A stat ball that his opponents cannot use Buffs to compete with, lest they activate his Scythe and make it worse for themselves.
ATK/DEF solo 4 and Lull ATK/SPD can be aquired from Shinon, who can be found in Compile 2
Rouse SPD/DEF can be acquired from Ferdinand
SPD/DEF Solo seal is of course a seal
His statline of 46/57/35/36/33 becomes effectively 46/64/42/52/36 with the Solo and Lull active (which should be always), before buffs and blessings.
Don't be concerned about the apparent Anti-synergy between Lull stripping buffs and potentially deactivating the Scythe of Sariel. In practice it's more of a Win-Win as an unbuffed opponent is unlikely to overpower him regardless and it's unlikely to find an opponent with ONLY ATK and/or SPD Blue buffs instead of buffs to all stats, especially if the Death Knight is on AR Defense Use, so it's More likely that the Death Knight will gain the benefits of the Scythe AND the lull.
the End result is a 3 mov wall that is extremely difficult to bring down before a Bonfire or Ignis goes off.
Special Mention: Matchups regarding Brave Edelgard, Legendary Sigurd and Flying Beast units. The +mov effects on Flower Hauteclere, Holy Knight Aura and Flying Beasts Transformation also trigger the Scythe, Death Knight hard counters all of these units, along with anything buffed by Legendary Azura.
