Flier Emblem Advice

With corrin being realeased I figured it's a good time to build a legit flier team. On the way to getting her I also picked up hinoka which was perfect. However one massive issue I'm seeing just in training tower is a weakness to green mages. Is there a viable solution in the current game? I don't have spring camilla.

This is my team

Summer corrin (still bare bones skills, will put blade tome on her but unsure about a good b slot).

Palla. My only g magic tanker. Not really useful apart from positioning and buffs.

Hinoka. Brave lance, repo, drag back and hone are the skills she has currently. -def +res ivs.

Michalis. Hauteclare, swap, bonfire, iotes shield, qr2 and goad. Love him as a unit and character but can't tank magic at all.

So any ideas on how to handle green mages. Ideally I want to run this team in arena next season.

Sorry if I'm saying stuff you already knew, but having reposition on every unit makes it so much easier to ferry people in to kill and safely out. That might be your best bet. Thankfully every meta green mage has low defense so Hinoka should hopefully be able to kill them (in the event that Palla isn't in position to do it herself).

Yeah I'm still in the sp grind stage so hopefully with all the hone and positioning skills it gets better, thankfully it's double sp weekends.

Just salty a sonya ran through half my team.

Caeda and Palla are really your only options currently. Neither are stellar. I'm running with Caeda despite her being a Jagen class unit and she's able to tank most green magic (barring buffed blade tome - forunately the AI isn't too smart) but she has trouble sealing the deal. Palla with Ruby Sword is more capable on this front and easier to merge...but lower RES and still mostly useless against non-greens.

Some people run Narcian as an antimage. Might work with Green Tomebreaker but seems like a wasted unit slot. Camilla (standard variety) has decent resistance as well. I guess that's what you're facing no matter what. At least until we - hopefully - get a red flying mage in the Fall or Winter.

Until the red flyer options get better, maybe just run an Olivia for support and general antigreen.
