Best Defensive Arena Team

So albeit this is probably a stupid question since the meta shifts all the tim and everyone runs a different squad. But I'm really conflicted on what would be a really good defensive team that is sorta an all around destroyer.
Currently my defensive team is Ryoma, Hector, Azura, Nino, all with SI. Well, Ryoma and Azura are half way down, whatever, all 5 stars btw.
While another Defensive team I was considering was Ryoma, Nowi, Hector, and Azura.

I have a lot of other 5 star units of course, while this is a general question along with a personal problem. What would be a good suggestion for a strong defensive team, along with your opinion on what unit(s) you hate seeing while running Arena?
Along with suggestions on what characters or team comps you would recommend?

Edit~ Thank you everyon and anyone who chooses to leave advice, criticism, suggestions, and overall help. I appreciate it greatly!

Well, the worst unit to face in the arena is Reinhardt. I think he and Hector (however Hector just gets stuck on certain maps, or even worst- the team's dancer just stays with him) are the most dangerous units, along some speedy ones like Linde or Celica. And a dancer is a must. Perhaps you could try doing a green spam or blue spam, and check the results.

I run hector, b cord (bonus), rein and azura. In that order so hopefully hector stays away from azura...ideally azura dances rein and he just troll kills someone. I thinl anything with rein and hector makes a decent combo...particularly if hector has g tomebreaker on. Also rein has moonbow/quickened pulse. And b cord has firesweep.

Had 5 defs this season so its been working for me.

Ryoma is not tanky enough. Is rather at Ryoma case to be lucky to come in Vantage range and win because of that mean with that getting dmg, now he is in Vantage Mode and has Moonbow rdy to ensure to kill something.
Short said Ryoma is actually a fragile defense Hero but still fine if you have nothing better or explained above player make mistake and bring him in Vantage Mode with Moonbow.
Nino Azura is fine both spd support huge range dd everything clear.
Hector is questionable. He can be in some Maplayout good defense Hero or the worst hero in the Map because of slacking arround. Short said 3v4 = Free win unless you can make that in 4v4.

Overall defense Heroes is Questionable because it depends rather how the Team move Together! If AI just move to his esay match up you just 85% win esay the game.
Is rather you get destoryed of Bad Maplayout.
Lets make a example what is still a nightmare even with Panic Ploy is Full Horse Emblem Blade(But wait gives no points, yes but still if they have gain with 1 match with Bonus Hero defense Points this assholes switch to this Team). They have all Swap/Reposition that they move together and with that ensure actually killing your Team. Atleast Panic Ploy players can laugh if they meet them on the bridge map^^.

For units that you find questionable what would recommend as suitable replacements? Specifically my choice in red units or just red units as a whole? Or what do you run as a defense team and what results has the produced for you?
My planned SI for Ryoma was Fury 3, Vantage 3, Threaten Def 3, along with Moonbow.

I think that your lineup is ok for defense, but I would actually put azura in the last place, so that she goes last during the turn and has a chance to dance nino, which is something that you definitely want, since she's your biggest source of damage and the most fragile hero.

Yes make to sure make that dance support run with Nino but it can happend funny Ai stuff on this order. It can happend if Nino is near now to Hector that Nino run in front of hector then Hector makes Pivot. After that now can happend that Azura dance to Nino and Nino use Draw Back on Hector. And then last Hero who moves would be Ryoma as example wih Reposition..
Sound crazy but can actually really happend like that if the maplayout is near for all and nothing block them,because they want to use Assist.

My funniest AI thing was and killed my Deathless Run Hector Hector Reinhardt Olivia . The second Hector moves first now Reinhardt used Smite on Second Hector, Olivia to reinhardt dance He attack kill my red because he was in reach xD didnt see that coming xD then the first Hector makes the finally his move and maked pivot on the second Hector. I was like the fuck what just happend.

Short said it may most in time happend in order that 1 2 3 4 moves first but if they want to assist each other then they just rather care how to do the best Support.

This team has been getting me good defense scores for as long as I've had it, if you happen to have any of these units +speed (all 3 of them are for me). I honestly am not sure why they do so well, but I haven't had a season yet where I didn't get max defense points with them.
(Sharena is there because she's a bonus hero, btw)

I haven't been graced with a Linde unfortunately, but what's your SI on your units that you use? I don't have a problem investing time and resources into them.
