Help building a cavalry team for Tempest Trials

So I'm trying to build a team around Eliwood, because he's the only 40% bonus hero I've got, and going full cavalry seemed like the obvious choice. This isn't going to be an A-class cavalry team, I don't have the time or the feathers for that, but I'd like to throw together something that will at least get me through a few maps. But I'm having trouble deciding exactly which other units to use. (Eliwood himself is gonna be stuck at 4* with his default skills, unfortunately, since there really isn't time for more.) Here are the options I've got:

5* Priscilla: my only cavalry healer worth a damn, she's got plenty of inherited skills, but still only has regular spur def. Is it worth sacrificing my only spare Eliwood to give her ward cavalry, or am I better off saving him for when I finally build an arena cavalry team? (She doesn't have enough sp for me to give her any other cavalry buffs, alas.)

5* Reinhardt: A very recent acquisition, he currently has no inherited skills, but he's good as-is and comes with goad cavalry, so he'd probably be a shoo-in, except...

4* Ursula: Can't decide if it would be worth giving up Reinhardt and his goad cavalry for Ursula and her bonus hero stat boosts. My gut says no, but I'm not actually sure.

4* Cecilia: TA Raven tome build. Currently has no cavalry buffs or sp, but she's the green mage option.

4* Berkut: Not really a stellar unit, but he's currently my only viable cavalry lancer, and he comes with ward cavalry, so he's an option.

4* Frederick: Has no inherited skills because his IVs are mediocre (-spd +res) and I've been holding out for a better one (who so far has yet to appear). But he has just enough sp that he could learn fortify cavalry if I fed him a Jagen. Considering I don't use him much, is it worth it?

That's pretty much it. I'm thinking the answer is either Berkut/Cecilia/Priscilla or Reinhardt/Frederick/Priscilla, but I'm not sure which. Any insight from those with more experience with cavalry teams would be appreciated.

Personally I would run Reinhardt, cecilia, and priscilla. Dangerously heavy on the magic attack, but eliwood is a good physical attacker on initiation so I'd guess you'd be able to handle hi RES blues with him and high DEF blues with cecilia. PERSONALLY Id suggest getting that cavalry buff up on Cecilia since she's pretty solid in cavalry emblem so having her ready for later is worth it in my opinion, but since its only a mini emblem if you see better in the back up eliwoood's future it could be worth saving.

Also worth noting as far as experience with cavalry teams, I run one cavalry team right now, but thats it. I don't have like, three of every color or anything that I've done a shit load of testing with.

Interesting, I'd say Reinhardt and Cecilia are definitely the best units in my pool, but I wasn't sure if I'd be too lacking in physical power. You're making me think it could work, though.

So I realized that Priscilla is actually only 20 sp away from the golden 525, so I could totally slap hone or fortify cavalry on her if I wanted. I'm thinking probably hone?

As for Cecilia, I could give her ward, but since she's rocking the TA Raven build would it not be better to give her hone or fortify in case I want to use her alongside a blade tome eventually? (I have crazy thoughts of promoting Ursula and making her into my blade user, but that's gonna take a lot more feathers than I currently have.) This is a purely hypothetical question for now, since I recently used up most of Cecilia's sp giving her triangle adept, alas.

I would do Eliwood, Ursula, Reinhardt, and Priscilla. You wont necessarily need a green unit to take out blues, since you have two blues who should be able to get the job done. Ursula will have +4 in every stat which is like being fully merged so even at 4 stars she should be roughly equivalent to +5 merged 5 star unit. If you can, I'd throw blarblade on her and get one of your other horses to buff her with hone/fortify cavalry. Priscilla is a good idea because of the obvious healing factor in TT, especially if you do autobattles. Rein is good no doubt but if he is not +atk IV with DB3 he will do 18 less neutral damage per battle so he won't be an unstoppable force. Good luck and make sure to get your supports going once you decide ;)

I realize this has slipped way too far down the list for you to see my reply, but on the off chance you do: Is it still worth it to use regular blarblade on Ursula if I don't want to spend the feathers to get her blarblade+ right now, or is it better to splurge and do it anyway (since this is already a direction I wanted to take Ursula in)?

My Rein is atk neutral unfortunately (I think he's +def -spd, though I can't currently check because he's level 38), but I have a spare Klein so I could give him Death Blow. Worth it, or is that a total waste of a Klein?
