Flier Emblem without mages T20 viable?

Hey guys, so I just started building a flier team, and as someone who generally isn't fond of the "goofy" banners, I never paid any mind to the spring/summer fanservice. So naturally I lack both flying mages. Is flier emblem viable with only melee units? Also, since I lack Hinoka, is full Goad viable as well?

The 5* fliers I have are:
Elincia (+spd/-res quad build with lnd3+desperation3)
Cherche (+atk/-res standard build, but with WoM3 in the B slot for arena defense, but I taught her Drag Back as well, also just put Goad Fliers on her)
Minerva (neutral iv, standard lnd3/desperation3 build)
Valter (neutral of course, running his base kit + desperation in b slot and an HP+3 seal for Panic Ploy).

I also thought of running 3 fliers + 1 WoM dancer (+atk Olivia & Ninian). Or maybe supplement their buffs with someone like Delthea or BLucina who can add an extra +6/+3 or +3/+6 with careful positioning? :/

Where should I go from here, or is some combination of that viable at a high level? Or should I just wait for a rerun of the Spring banner before I start building them.

Real question What flier buffs are you running? Since hone [xyz emnblem] is so important, if you dont have at least one hone fliers, then forget it

For only melee fight goad fliers should be still possible.
But still will be a hard time Bow with Dance (B Lyn the nightmare) just make it actually really hard for your Flier Team maybe a) slot Iote Shield needed to bait her.
Think Flier Team have now a hard time with B Lyn arround.

I'm not an expert, but if you're waiting for the spring banner again, it's never going to come back for a while. You should have a mage. You can't rely on physical only. So I'd reccomend Elincia, Cherche, Valter, and Delthea. Also get Hone or Fortify Fliers on your Elincia and a Hone Spd, and Rally Res on Delthea. Also get the Fortify def sacred seal so Delthea can support your flier team on Res, Spd, Def, and Atk. Buff all 4 skills at once.

They've been releasing one flying mage in each seasonal banner... So the Fall banner is just around the corner, I'd wait and hope that it's someone who can successfully run Raven.

Look; you're just going to have to wait for the next flying mage. I run a Flier Emblem comp; and it's hard enough to break into T19 with all the BLyn around.

Flying Mages don't help with B Lyn anyway since she ignores boosts anyway. You should be fine with Melee Fliers anyway as long as your Fliers have Reposition and you know how to use it properly. You just have to get the jump on Lyn first before she gets to you.
