Hero Build Overview/Explanation
Usually, people run dance units with high speed, so they can avoid getting doubled, and as such, survive longer, however, it might be possible to run slow dancers thanks to a combo that's been ignored quite a lot, courtly weapons (except courtly fan) and deflect magic, because, let's face it, usually, when you run a dancer, it shouldn't get close enough to receive damage from close range, but sometimes ranged units mess that up due to their high range.
HS!Xander is one of the best dancers for this job, he is physically defensive (nothing too crazy, but workable) and also, he has a dagger, which makes so the magic users that get to fight him will have a rough time, since they will receive his counter.
The enemy will double him, which means that they will be charging their special, which is something we don't want, so, a stance is a must (decided to go for the sturdy stance since even though we have deflect magic, it's a last resort, so, we should try to avoid getting to that point, while also helping stand the enemies that run daggers and bows). Atk/def menace is quite good for this type of units, so they can stand physical hits better, and that plus the courtly mask, it should be quite tanky.
However, courtly mask has an hp threshold. You need to have your hp above 50%. Due to that, we'll run Sol as our special (Aether would be too slow for the healing special, since this unit needs the damage reduction to stand a chance due to dancer bst being quite low usually)
For the B skill, is up to preference, if you run him with vantage users, wings of mercy is a good option (if not, maybe it would be better to use a skill like lull atk/def for more a more tanky dancer)
We will keep dance (after all, this build was here because of that, to have a bulky refresher) and for the courtly mask's refine, you can either go with +res or +def, depending on which one are you more afraid of (I prefer the +res refine because we already have good skills to improve our def, but in case you want to go the other way the A skill should be mirror stance instead of sturdy stance)
