Caeda or Elincia for Flier Emblem?

Yes, I know what the title sounds like, let me finish :)

I recently did a ‘Yolo’ summon on the Death Blow banner and finally managed to Elincia, however she just so happens to be +HP/-Spd. It’s not too bad since I wasn’t going to build on her speed anyways, but it is a bummer.
At the same time, I have a 5 star Caeda I’ve been using this whole time who I’ve already invested in, she’s +Atk/-Def and has been the perfect pair up bot for my Summer Corrin.

The team runs Caeda/Elincia, +Def/-HP Blade Tome Summer Corrin, +Atk/-HP Brave Axe Cherche, and +Atk/-HP Minerva who I might replace with Cordy, Tana, or Halloween Nowi when/if I get them.
So I’m basically wondering whether I should choose between a perfect Caeda or subpar Elincia, and whether that Elincia is worth investing heavily in.

Thanks guys.

In my experience with Elincia, just use her Death Blow, and she doesn't have need to quad. Not a lot of Reds, and very few greens outside Deflect Melee will survive her double. Her damage potential still far exceeds Caeda(No offense to your Caeda)

Depends on how you have built your Caeda, a Wo Do build on Caeda, especially with those IVs, is disgusting. If you haven’t build Caeda, go with Elincia, her IVs aren't as important as you may think, but if Caeda is already built, then go with Caeda.

In my experience one of the most difficult green matchups for a flyer team in arena is B!Ike, who Elincia does not kill but a non-brave red does. I'm actually considering swapping out my Elincia back to Palla for this reason, as he's one of the few units I can't ORKO.

Is ur Elincia -atk or something? Do u have luna as special?
My elincia can easily kill a +10 Bike, she just needs to quad which is pretty easy to do so.

My elincia have no merges, and she is neutral atk and spd.

+Res/-Def actually, so I have Iceberg as special. I'm running the damage calcs and see that in theory she should be winning and it's been a while, so I don't recall the specifics of merge levels/build but I know that in most cases my Elincia doesn't ORKO him and I need my S!Corrin to help. When merged and buffed, he does straight up win the matchup though.

I don't know why your elincia can't kill bike, but if you have to, tank him first then kill him on your round.

In general though elincia is by far the best flier red especially since she can kill a good amount of blues too.
