Red horses:
Cain (+def/-Spd)
B!Roy (+hp/-def)
Xander
Siegbert +1 (+def/-Res)

Blue
Abel (many of him)
Camus
Mathilda (+def/-hp)
S!Cordelia +1 (+Atk/-def)
Reinhardt +1 (+Atk/-hp)
Marth

Grey (no lynn :( )
Elise

I also have in the 4* Ares, eliwood, seth, l'arachel, titania,fiederik, cecilia... among others in case its recommended to just focus on a new one, also merges for Xander and a few others in case I focus on them

Reinhardt, B.Roy, Elise, Frederick maybe...Frederick will be your tank with QR (brave axe is still good), and B.Roy has galeforce which provides another dimension of offense to the team, and Elise can heal him up if he retreats after activating galeforce (otherwise, he won't be able to activate galeforce in one turn anymore).

When I play horse emblem I really prefer ranged units because 3-tile movement + 2 range covers the width of most maps. Since you don't have strong mages or B.Lyn, we turn to other options.

Thanks! I like that idea, I was thinking about using 2 reds, one aggresive like B!Roy and another kinda tanky like Xander, im not that sure about elise.

Also, friederik or Walhart? I forgot I just got him

They are two significantly different creatures due to Wolf Berg. It's a weapon that enables you, if you give him brazen atk/def, to buff him with hone and fortify cavalry and throw him in and he'll just tank everything destroy everything barring massive enemy specials like wrath Regnal Astra. I'm not sure if even Ayra could tear through him with anything less (ex: regular RA) if he had the brazen, weapon effect, and fortify all on at the same time. I have to wonder whether brash assault + heavy blade galeforce would work on him, now that I think about it.

You have really good options on red. Xander is particularly attractive, since he has respectable bulk and a DC weapon. Siegbert would need a new C skill to invest in (since a tactic is nigh useless in an Emblem team). Ares is a particularly top tier choice. Been running him for a while with Vantage and he can clear maps all by his own. And Brave Roy is exceptionally powerful with stuff like Life and Death, but he'll be *very* fragile. Can't really go wrong with any of these. I've ran them all.
Xander: Great physical tank and coverage. Slow
Ares: High damage potential in longer battles (he's a beast once he gets his first special proc).
Roy is more of a sweeper. Get in, get out. He won't stand much during enemy phase.
Siegbert is a mixed bag for me, but he's by no means unreliable. He's overall very rounded.

When it comes to blues, I'd say it's a pick between Summer Cordelia and Camus (since you've already decided on Rein). Camus is very much like Xander, except he trades in some physical bulk for better speed, which makes him very good in both phases.
Summer Cordelia, however, is another sweeper. Her speed is her most valuable stat and you can reliably let got of her defenses, which I recommend with the IV you got her with. However, she'd need a complete overhaul. A skill like Swift Sparrow or LnD would suit her way, and a preferable Desperation for when she does get hit.

Marth, I'm guessing refers to Groom Marth. In which case, I'd recommend him over all other greens you have, except for one in specific.
His defense is solid, but not exactly the best. His best role is as a support. Ardent Service, however, would need to be replaced in a cav team, and so would his drive. Slaying Axe is a good rec.
The other green cav I can recommend is Titania, as she has a particularly high res and you don't seem to have many res tanks. With her Draconic Poleaxe, she can easily tank Reinhardt. Don't go for the specialized refine though. Again, tactics are useless to you rn. I'd say give her an attack refine to patch up her not-so-great attack stat.

What I'd choose:
Red: Xander or Ares/Roy.
Blue: Camus (if you didn't pick Xander) or Summer Cordelia (if you did pick Xander).
Green: Titania (again, res tanking is something you lack) or groom Marth (if your playstyle is more aggressive and need less baiting)
And, of course, Reinhardt, as you already mentioned.

EDIT: Sorry for the wall of text. I tend to talk too much.

That's great advice thank you, i was considering maybe doubling in red with both offensive roy and defensive xander (im doubting with siegbert and ares doesnt have perfect IVs) instead of doubling blue like you recommend or using elise which is another option.

Then again I forgot I have Walhart now too and maybe he could take the green spot to tank but that leaves me open to magic like reindhart which titania takes care of...

And then on the C slot what is better? It makes sense having a defensive one on both Roy and Reind (in case i use them to pump the ones taking hits) and offensive in the tanks to boost the ones going all-in

Anyway thank you

Whatever that character doesn't need is the best. Rein should get defensive buffs, tanks should get attack/speed buffs. Make sure you don't have two fortifies or two hones, as they'll just be wasted. My current Cav team runs one Hone (on LA!Roy), one Fortify (on Ares/B!Roy), one goad (on Camus), and one Ward (on WT!Olwen).

So, Xander should probably get a Hone or a Goad (I'd say goad). Same for Camus. Cordelia or Roy could can run fortify/ward. Again, Rein should get a fortify/ward. If you go Titania, give her Hone/Goad. Try to balance with at least two defensives and two offensives, to help your team out.

Xander Tank I recomend Ignis +G Tome Breaker
Titania Res Tank + blue check I recomend prf weapon, fury, glacies, hone cav.
Reinhardt Nuker Standart Build
Elise Healer. Razzle Dazzle + Double Savage blow

Thats the team i will use.
Covers the Color Spectrum and works good together.

Okey, that seems good to me, I'm not sure wether I should run a healer or go double with red for example with both roy on the offensive and Xander to bait/tank
