Arena Offense Core (Please Help!)

Recently I've been struggling a bit more to keep up in the Arena, so I need some consulting here, in making a new team.

I was thinking of building a core around my Soleil, who's a super-mega-glass-cannon type; she's +Spd-Def (Firesweep S+, Reposition, Galeforce, LnD 3, HitnRun, Drive Spd 3, Heavy Blade 3 seal). However, nearly any hit kills because of her measley 37-19-19 defenses iirc.

What are some potential cores I could build? Feel free to suggest out of any common units, or any units in the list below. Let me know also if I just shouldn't use that Soliel for attacking in arena.

Built 5-Star Units:
- Zelgius (+Atk -Res)
- B! Lucina (Neutral)
- Nowi (+Def -Res)
- Myrrh (+Res -Def)
- NY Azura (+Res -Spd)
- Masked Marth
- Alm (+Spd -Res)
- Marisa
- Siegbert (+Hp -Res)
- Lyon
- Abel (+Atk -Res)
- Anna
- Dorcas (+Res -Hp)
- Cherche (Neutral)
- Corrin
- Fallen Takumi
- NY Takumi (+Res -Def)

Unbuilt 5-Star Units:
- Black Knight
- Fjorm (Neutral)
- Ike VL (Neutral)
- LA Eliwood
- Hinoka (+Def -Hp)
- Micaiah (+Res -Atk)
- Soren (+Res -Hp)

Usable GHB Units that I Have:
- Valter
- Zephiel
- Michalis
- Arvis

Everything else you can safely assume I don't have. Just for reference, I haven't gotten a Hector ever, so no Distant Counter is usable.

Any unit running a prf weapon alongside a 500 SP special is a very good candidate.

Are all of those unmerged? And what tier are you?

I am currently kind of moving back and forth through Arena 18 and 19; I went straight up to Arena 19 from when I started playing, and then bounced down to 18, and now I'm in 19 again.

Most of these are unmerged; my Masked Marth is +1. I could get the Abel to +1 as well.

If you are worrying about soleil can't take a hit then the best candidates are Blues and greens(mostly greens)
Nowi
Myrrh
Dorcas
Cherche
Fjorm
Ike VL

But If you want to just make soleil kill everything without worry then the best candidates are
B!Lucina
Marisa
PA Azura(But using a dancer will hurt your score a bit)
Arvis(For the debuffs)

Soleil can be a good candidate for Arena. Firesweep users don't have an enemy phase, so she shouldn't even be taking hits in the first place. All you need to do is have someone who can reposition her to safety.

For your arena core, you need to have units who can counter common units (Reinhardt, B!Lyn, Dragons etc.). The second thing is that they should have decent merges and high costing skills. From your list, I would probably take Nowi and Dorcas. Infantry Pulse will work very well with Soleil's Galeforce. If Soleil's bulk becomes a problem, you can swap her with Zelgius, who should score very well.
