Looking at the Robins by their Attack/Speed is missing the point of the characters I think. They're very tanky for mages so they're perfect for baiting, especially if they have Triangle Adept. Their Speed is high enough that they can avoid getting doubled in a good number of situations, and Quick Riposte lets them double on a bait. In certain situations I even use my Male Robin to laugh off melee red attacks when I need someone to get in front. In my experience, there's almost always one character on the enemy team that Robin hardcounters. If there's more than one then he can pretty much sweep their team. And against the units he doesn't, Ignis does a ton of damage and lets him kill a lot of people regardless.

In general I think people focus too much on the Attack/Speed meta. BowLyn is easily the best unit in the game but outside of that I think defensive builds are about as good as offensive builds, especially after some recent changes.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
