Also, it doesn't matter how many colorless units are used. What matters is the frequency, and Bow Lyn and Bride Cordelia are pretty highly used. If you don't want to use her, or have other alternatives, that's fine. But she's not useless in any sense of the word and you should pay less attention to gamepedia tier lists.
Use a non-Raven tome on a magic user and see how much damage you take from Bow Lyn. Hint: with a Raven tome you take like 3 damage.

I have no idea where this idea that I care about Gamepedia's tier list comes from.
The reality is that we live in a ORKO meta. Blade tomes, brave users, X sweep users, dancers and emblem teams are everywhere. Even units with high defenses have a very hard time surviving. There is nothing wrong with using a tanky unit if that's your preferred play style but be aware that using offensive units instead will make your fights easier and faster.
Speaking of tanks, you can tank every single unit you mentioned with either a high defense or high resistance unit. They may not have as much combined defenses but the scenarios a physical and a magic user can walk into range without being killed beforehand are very rare and imply that you messed up somewhere in the first place.
As for using tomes on bow Lyn, dire tomes take 0 damage because they flat out kill her and blade tomes also kill her. Taking damage isn't a problem for the latter as long as they don't die since they want to be in desperation range anyway.
