Helbindi+L!Marth? Good or redundant?

I unexpectedly free-pulled a +spd/-hp Helbindi. I definitely would like to use him and was thinking of pairing him with my L!Marth and having him on my main team (with Fjorm and Veronica). But would his odd-spectrum wave be redundant with Marth's Fire Emblem? I was thinking that he could give Marth consistent pre-combat buffs that would make him pretty powerful on player-phase, but then Marth's Fire Emblem buffs would only add anything after combat on even turns. Thoughts? Do the Fire Emblem buffs even matter that much?

Side note it'd be cool to put Even Spd Wave on Marth and Even Atk Wave on Helbindi (whenever that comes out) one day. Consistent spd and atk wave buffs.

p sure using fire emblem requires the acceptance of not using it to its fullest potential sometimes, considering the buffs will most likely work as "patchwork" buffs

not being the main buffs given, but rather rounding out stats that might not be boosted on a unit within the team composition

either way, its basically a very slightly weaker version of Regnal Astra so the buffs are nothing more than a cherry on top

i could be completely wrong though, Marth users help me out here

I them together woldnt be that redundant due to mart wanting to be buffed up b4 he even enters combat. So its actually a good pair.

The inclusion of verica into the mix does make it redundant tho

I did think Veronica would make it even more redundant but I find she doesn't get attacked all that much/shouldn't get attacked so her buffs don't go off that often. Also Helbindi really likes healing+close guard. I am open to suggestions though.

You could also run Helbindi with Seiglinde-refined Eirika, that works pretty well, too.

Interesting idea, but I don't have her and between L!Ike and L!Marth and a few others I'm good with infantry swords.

It's a general problem with Marth's Fire Emblem that it grants buffs he wants to have before entering combat, and as far as I know there's no elegant workaround. So I would say no it's not redundant, at least not more than any other strategy that buffs Marth before entering combat. All the other strategies require him to "break ice" because he'll have to enter combat with drives or less.

Given that team composition I'd definitely look at changing Marth's C-Skill.
