Here's my list of questions, got any advice?

Alright, I finally have a moment to sit down and ask the questions about IV choice, SI and my list of units, etc, that have been building up. So, here goes.

1. I pulled a +SPD Inigo, however, he is -DEF, with a stat line of 38/40/37/19/20. So far I've built him as a support character, with Triangle Adept, Moonbow, Gale Dance, Hone Attack and one of the Fortify seals. So far he's paired with my Tharja for use in my bladetome team. (along with Nino and Delthea.) Is it worth giving him Gronnraven with 19 defense? Or should I sacrifice my Summer Elise to give him the Hibiscus Tome for even more of a buffer role?

2. The aforementioned Summer Elise. She's my only one, but her IV's are really bad (-SPD +HP) and I already have a pretty optimal Nino. So, I could either keep her (she is my only one), give her tome to Inigo, or give someone else her G. Tome Valor skill.

3. Hector! I have two. One with +DEF -ATK, and one with +RES -DEF. I generally use the +RES one, since I often use him as ranged bait, which means mages. They used to be in my Armor Team along with Effie and Zephiel. However, with the introduction of BK and Arden, and the new ranged armor units, I will, at most, really only want one on the team at a time. Is it optimal to give distant counter away? If so, from who? Also, to who? +ATK -HP Effie, +ATK -HP B!Ike, Neutral, Normal Roy, Arden, +DEF -SPD Axura, etc.

4. I have two Ninians. One, +HP -SPD with Light Breath+, Iceberg, Fury, Swordbreaker and her dragon buffs with a statline of 45/40/33/26/30, and the other a +DEF -SPD. Should I merge one into the other for a point in SPD and HP, or should I give the dragon buff to one of the dragons in my dragon team (+RES - ATK Fae, +SPD -DEF Y. Tiki, or +SPD -RES F. Corrin? Hone SPD, Hone ATK and Threaten Res respectively.)

5. I have one Cain, only one. (*sobs*) I can either give Wings of Mercy to +ATK - HP Lyn, and have the Brash Assault seal on her for teleporting crazyness, to my +DEF -SPD Axura, or to neutral Reinhardt for arena shenanigans. Or an armored unit for fun times.

6. Effectively neutral Reinhardt. (Meaning not + or - ATK.) I have no B slot skill, and Vantage is not really great on him since if anything is attacking him, he's toast. Should I put WoM on him, (as mentioned above) a Lancebreaker (I hate inheriting from GHB units and I don't think it's necessary) or Cancel Affinity on him?

I think that's all? I dunno, sorry for the long post, any thoughts on these units and inheritance options are appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

I have dragon emblem, and unfortunately only one ninian. Definitely inherit fortify dragons on one of your main dragon units, it will be much more useful there than 2 extra points on Ninian's stats. Idk who you should give DC to, but I agree that you're using the right one. -def doesn't hurt him very much since it's already so high he survives most physical things, and +res is really helpful with reinhardt and the like.

Since the Dancer role tends to be "not die and help out, and on a good day kill one thing", give him Raven for sure. Basically bolsters his defense vs bows, and makes him a meta check in regards to vs Rein and BLyn.

For Hector definitely keep the +res, as 34 def is still pretty good. (+hp -def here).

For Lyn are you sure you didn't mean Escape Route, the sibling of Wings? It would be fine and kind of perfect on Axura, however, being a dancer.

1. For +Spd Inigio, he might actually be a decent blade tome candidate for some extra damage in a pinch. Other wise, he'll be fine for raven builds still, he just wont be able to tank archers one after another.

2. Probably keep her for collection purposes, her skills arent the best for SI.

Plus IS has mentioned they might do something about allowing players to do something about bad IV draws. Though who knows when or even if they ever get around to that.

3. I would keep the -def/+res, -def wont hurt his match ups as much and +res is useful for tanking mages like reinhardt.

If you're not going to give DC to zephiel, probably one of the better armor units to give DC due to his defense stats and legendary weapon (arden's brave sword isnt as good for counter attacking), probably think about doing a slightly unusual DC build. Probably someone with high Res stat since there's plenty of high Def DC units. Some examples ones for thought like Anna or Fir with good amounts of speed and res, even stronger now that def ploy is more available.

4. Use the extra ninian to give fortify dragons to someone. Someone to buff your main baiting dragon.

5. Hard to say since those are all pretty good ideas, depends on what you want to focus on. If you use reinhardt for arena I would prioritize him.

P!Azura would be a solid WoM dancer if you use her a bit.

Lyn or other units like armor would be fun to play around with if you prefer trying novel builds.

6. WoM is probably his strongest B-skill, though if you dont use him for arena (especially defense), its not a very high priority.
Lancebreaker 3 can be gotten from 4* oscar if you ever pull him.
Also, I dont think mages can use cancel affinity.
