As for your Tera, pick the Steel Tera type as it will turn your weaknesses into resistances while giving you a bulky defense.
If you’re bidding for an offensive build, the best Nature you can go for is the Adamant Baxcalibur. Other than that, Jolly can also be a potentially good Nature. We recommend going for the Impish Nature for a more defensive build.
