Arena Team Suggestions

I need a good, flexible arena team made up 3 units using the heroes I have. The 4th unit would be the bonus unit.

Ike +Res/-Atk (I sometimes use as a mage counter)
Eldigan +Hp/-Spd
Lyn +Def/-Atk (With an atk of 40, she can barely kill anything)
Alm +Res/-Atk (Pseudo healer)
Marth +Spd/-Res (like a -atk Lucina essentially)
Erika -Atk/+Spd (pure buffer )
Lucina +Atk/-Def (Skills untouched)
Xander (TA/QR build)
Seliph +Atk/-Spd
Henry +Def/-Spd (Literally carried me in the last tempest trials by reliably killing Veronica)
Lucina +Hp/-Res
Tobin (Haven't touched him)
Effie +Atk/-Hp (Considering brave lance build with waterboost)
Camus (Vantage build)
Sharena
Ephraim +Atk/-Hp (TA/Lancebreaker build with hone Spd and rally def/res)
Ninian +Def/-Spd

I have more, just wait

Cordelia +Spd/-Hp (Considering quad build
Ursula (blarblade and blue tomb breaker build)
Ninian -Spd/+Hp
Hector +Hp/-Spd (No important stats touched)
Beruka +Def/-Spd (With 40 Def, QR, and ignis, she is a flying brick wall that can deal with some squishy red units)
Nino +Atk/-Def (Nothing more to be said)
Gaius +Atk/-Def (fury build with desperation)
Takumi +Res/-Spd (Slow but magic resistant pinapple)
Clarisse (Fitted with L/D, poison strike, savage blow, her own bow, and the BoL seal to drop cancer on her opponents)

Cherche +Atk/-Res (although 4 stars, I'm considering a brave axe/DB build if I upgrade her)

I'd say a cool defensive team idea would be your Xander, Effie, and Beruka, but not sure if you want to go that route

It would be kind of hard to counter mages, especially since fast, hard-hitting ones are pretty meta

My 3-unit core for both Arena & TT is:

Ike (+HP -Def) w/ Reposition & Vantage
Ephraim (+HP -Atk) w/ the same passives as yours & Reposition
Nino (+Res -Spd) w/ Fury and Renewal

There's very little the three of them can't take on together, even with those terrible IVs (I'm FTP and the game hates me, Lol).

It's still a work in progress. So far the only enemy that can consistently ruin their groove is Bridelia. They're especially good with Sharena, but Anna's been mostly fine too. Haven't tried them with Alfonse yet.

Reposition isn't mandatory on Ephraim for this to work, but it really helps him keep Nino and Ike out of trouble.

You have the ability to mimic my team (IVs aside). Cordelia, Ike, hector. That's assuming your willing to build the 3 starter units to at least 4 star ( 5 star recommended if you plan to land in tier 20). 4 star versions can still pull you to 18-19 back and forth without much difficulty. If you care to know my full builds I'll gladly post them. In short, reposition and hone/spur are extremely helpful and help you in a pinch. Many situations I would have died if I did not have those skills.

Just for my highest score yet with this team, 4828. Using no meged characters.

That's quite a lot of choice !

You shouldn't have any problem to reach tier20 most of your units are top tier although most of them have unoptimal IVs).

I would recommend you to play with Xander, Ninian, Nino and a blue bonus units (or your Gaius can make up for it, maybe). With this combination you should be able to do deathless run pretty easily and reach tier 18-19.

However, to score more points, you'll have to rely on a less effective team, but which weight more, like Ike, Effie, Hector, magic dmg bonus unit. If you don't have a magic dmg bonus unit, then switch Hector for Nino.

One armored unit is enough to make it to tier20, it worked for me. I'm F2P for now 2months, thus I've only a very few 5* units and most of them are very unoptimal units (like Cain) or with very bad IVs (like Ryoma +Res/-Spd).

Plus, I like to use units from FE7 because I'm a fan, but even then, it's really manageable to reach tier20. Featured bonus units are really good since last season so you can rely on them pretty easily.

You have a bunch of excellent choices for the arena.
As for me, Xander, Camus and Hector have carried me through many arena seasons (distant counter is always excellent). However, I would switch Xander from TA to fury. He doesn't need TA, and he can only tank one green mage hit before he goes out of QR range anyway. Plus, with Fury, he hits 40 def, for an insane +20 dmg with bonfire. He has been my best sword user since I've gotten him, probably my best unit.
Reposition
Bonfire
Fury 3
QR 2 (had been vantage 3 for a long time, but QR2 is much better)
Hone spd 3

Camus has been replaced on my arena team by Nowi (higher BST), but he is always great.

And Hector is Hector.

I do have a Nowi (+Atk/-Hp) that I forgot to mention, so I sometimes use her instead of Camus depending on the team

Well, that's been my normal 3-member arena team for the last month (I straddle tier 18-19 and should be entering tier 20 this week):
Xander (described above)

Hector (-def/+spd)
Pivot
Bonfire
DC
Vantage 3
Hone Atk3

Nowi (+atk/-spd... btw - hp is MUCH better than -spd)
Reposition
Moonbow
Fury 3
QR3
Threaten Res 3 (probably going to change to a hone/fortify skill soon)

TA is much better on Xander if you plan on having him bait green mages. Fury is better if you need him to fight more reds, and Xander shouldn't be fighting blues to begin with. So it depends what your team needs more, but don't sleep on TA Xander. It's what I use now because I have enough answers to blues and reds on my team.

Plus with TA green physicals can only damage when their specials proc, which helps keep him in QR range longer.

You've got a bunch of options there. You actually have a pretty good set of fliers if you wanted to run Flier Emblem. You're most of the way to a Cavalry team, though you're missing a Green cavalier. You could run ye ol' Erika/Ephraim/Nino trio of terror, though the only issue with running that with a throw-in bonus character is the lack of a dancer.

If you want to mix and match a bit, something like... Xander, Nino, and Camus might work, though you wouldn't be able to use cavalry buffs as you'd want to buff Nino. Play around a bit though to find what style you happen to like. I mean I got to tier 19 with Lucina, Fae, and Reinhardt, which is certainly a unique comp (I just this week subbed Lucina out for Xander due to bonus unit changes).
