Hero Build Overview/Explanation
A budget melee duelist build turns this common unit into a physical wall capable of taking beatings from massively inflated Attack scores in PvE.
Boon: Def is the best boon for physical tanking, but Res is also acceptable to improve dragon matchups.
Bane: Spd is the safest bane for this build since Quick Riposte guarantees followups already.
Weapon: Rearguard+ (+Def) / Rearguard+ (+Res)
Self explanatory. Plenty of bulk on a 14 Mt weapon? Nothing to sneeze at here.
Assist: Reposition / Flexible
Any assist skill can work here, but I would disrecommend Ardent Sacrifice or Reciprocal Aid since those likely drop her below the HP threshold of QR.
Special: Sol
Sol comes with Echidna and there is no need to replace it. It grants valuable sustain at the end of every combat.
Passive A: Fury 3
Fury chip damage is too little to affect QR, and the spectrum boost it grants is great. Plenty of other A skills will do the job better, but this is a budget build.
Passive B: Quick Riposte 3 / Quick Riposte 2
If you are less than happy to cough up 20,000 Hero Feathers for QR 3, you can stick with 2 and get by just fine. This puts the threshold at about 39 on a 5* Echidna.
Passive C: Atk Smoke 3 / Drive Atk 2 / Flexible
Atk Smoke is a very powerful and inexpensive C skill, available from, for example, a 4* Kaze.
Sacred Seal: Close Def 3
No explanation needed. More bulk.
