I need help building a Balanced team

Hi everyone.
When it comes to team building, I am unfortunately not the most creative, and I am prone to making bad decisions. I currently already have a passable Armour team/ Cavalry team and Flier team, but my hobbled together mix and infantry teams just don't seem to be that great. I was hoping if I were to list my 5 star units (assume I have access to any 3-4 star unit in the summoning pool) you guys might be able to recommend good synergies or possible teams.
My 5 stars that arent already in use are as follows
Leif x 2
Young Ike
Legendary Ike
Ares
Brave roy
exalted Chrom
Seigbert
Celica
Summer Leo
Fjorm
Lukas
Nephenee
Finn
Tana
Cordelia
Ninian
Nowi
Linde
Ishtar x 2
Micaiah
Catria bunny
Raven
W! Lissa
Minerva
Cherche
Kana F
MGrima
Juliax2
Soren
Rhajat x 2
Olwen WT
LA Lilina
Nanna
Priscilla
Elise

Any help with 1 or multiple team combinations would be very helpful. I listed copies of units just incase you deemed it necessary that they had good skills to fodder or I could merge them.

Is there any units you would like to use and have good iv's on?

I am open to using any units. As for IV's, I'm currently at work, so I'm not able to check them all en mass, but if you had any team comps in mind, I'd be able to tell you the iv's and see how that went.

Legendary ike.
Machaia
Minerva(cherche)
Are a good core.

Minerva with refinement, qp, and moonbow ohkos a lot of blue units turn one. Can be used with guidance for utility and mixed phase. Ike boosts her def so she can tank on enemy phase along with her decent spd. Dragback allows her to go back to safely.
Cherche can also work with her brave axe dragback set. But the low spd means shes very susceptible to magical hits. So minerva is usually the safer option

Ike with qr as seal or b skill. Swordbreaker is ok filler skill. DD/close def seal. Hes top tier for a reason. His 4 turn cooldown aether is so good with warding breath. You should find a way to boost his spd tho. He really apreciates denying doubles and geting aether up without needing them

Machaiah with fury, brash assault desp combo with atk ploy (from 5*oliver or julius). She serves as magic check. Ike checks greens for her. With sacrifice she can easily set up for desp and heal up an ally to full health putting them back in the fight. This set allows her to take on even wary fighter armor units.

Fourth is up to you. like.... Figuring these thigs out is part of the game.....

Thank you for your response, I can see this team would have great synergy, and I have a few ideas for the fourth option. I will admit, figuring these things out is not my strong suit, but I do thank you for your time.

I will ask, what is qp? I've wracked my mind trying to figure that out buuut...

Quickened pulse is ...beter of flying emblem (due to goad stacking increasing her spd). But has good utility nonethe less. Along with her special refined weapon it allows her to fire off a moonbow the first time she attacks on player phase. Allowing her to nuke a blue unit/mage. Then drag back/hit and run to safety. Its always good to have a mix of player and enemy phase units. And this allows her to be really good on player phase and get rid of a blue threat from the start

It works better on when she has enough spd to double as it allows her to fire off two moonbows against melee units. And only the tankiest reds can survive this.

But ye thats not neccesarry. Guidance or qr is good on her. Along with ikes def tactic shes a good baiter. And machaia can heal her up if going the qr route

A great core is a flier threat with guidance. An armor threat with either armour boots or armor match (depending on the next unit) and a buff bot either infantry or armoured maybe even a dancer and then the bonus. Example is Hinoka + mGrima + eirika/marth, hinoka has guidance in her spear, and the rest are these huge threats, or eirika who buffs everything and can get lots of points with a DC build, or TA ro deal with greens and colorless. This is just a sample of an undedicated emblem team, sanaki is also a viable option with hinoka.
In general, 2 offensive threats, a dancer/buff bot or both, and a bonus is what will get you places.
Another option is 4 super defensive units (dragon emblem cough cough) you could run mGrima, Nowi. ATiki and nubian and get places too, since that team can do massive work

I've been considering a dragon emblem team. I do have good IV's on the Grima and Nowi, Never had a look at my 4 star adult tiki's. What is Nubian? And what sort of things should I build for a dragon emblem?

Unfortunately I do not have access to Normal Hinoka, (however kinshioka is in my flier team atm) However, your tips were quite helpful.

I think they meant Ninian? The 'U' and 'B' keys are next to the 'I' and 'N' keys, so they were probably typos?

ooooh. Ninian would be a great addition to the team. I can see that working

Only thing with ninian is that, for me at least, was hard to grind sp for. I am currently building ninian and it is so hard to keep grinding sp for her. If you can get past that and have a good iv spread of her, I would recommend her.

A balanced team starts with a balanced breakfast^_^

A good combo would be Exalted Chrom who can punch serious holes in the enemy Def,Tana who is great at absorbing the impact of incoming physical attacks, and Reposition Fliers are a great utility,Raven who can achieve one of, if not the highest atk stat(LnD refinement with Fury and Desperation makes a murderous combo) and round it out with Elise, who can heal, debuffs with something like Fear or Slow +, And can also give Hone Cavalry to Exalt Chrom.

This team has Tana as a dedicated enemy phase who can endure attacks from both types fairly well, Raven, a dedicated Player Phase nuke who drops into Desperation easily with Fury, then doubles basically everything, Chrom who can kill almost every dragon(Raven picks up the blue ones) and has a solid defense, and Elise with strong Res and powerful healing(and pretty damaging attacks with Wrathful refinement)

Damn, that's a great looking team. you would suggest allowing Tana to be my "tankier" unit?

I think double LnD is better. I remember seeing a calc that the 6 hp loss kills him over the addition def loss, just a thought, it's a minor contrast

Also if you have a +spd linde and - def or hp, then you could use her as a blade tome mage. That is what I currently do with mine and am waiting for a sothe for LnD 3 and if I get a bad Iv Ishtar then maybe give odd attack wave 3 to my linde so she doesn't have to be used with axezura.

Infantry

Marth
Soren
Ninian
L!Ike

Refine both Marth and Soren's weapons. Have them Support each other. Give Marth a Rally Dual (Def/Spd is nice,) a Dual Spur (I'll suggest Def/Spd again,) and Spur Defense Seal. With Marth's buffs to Soren alone he'll have +16 Defense, +12 Speed, and +6 Attack and Resistance. This turns Soren into a monster. Ideally, Soren wound run Close Counter, Desperation, Ploy Resistance, and Heavy Blade. I'd run Aether personally, but you've got a lot of options. You could also switch out the Seal for something else if you feel it necessary, like Close Defense. What you can't give to him you can kind of work around, as his stats will allow for a lot of flexibility. I'd run Ninian with Water Breath+, but then you can keep it pretty standard. L!Ike, too, is simple, only replacing Def Tactics, as it won't help an Infantry Team.

Mixed Team

L!Ike
Lukas
Elise
M!Grima

Very basic L!Ike, though QR might be better served on Lukas. His Def Tactics is fantastic on this team, as every single one of his teammates albsolutely loves the +7 Defense he provides. Lukas has several options open to him. Berkut's Lance Refined with Resistance, Distant Defense, Renewal, QR Seal or Distant Defense Seal. Maybe run him with Slaying Lance, Brazen Atk/Def, Quick Riposte, Heavy Blade Seal. Elise should Run Pain+, Martyr, Miracle, Close Counter, Vantage, Savage Blow, and Savage Blow Seal. Giving her Brazen Def/Res or Close Defense is also a good choice for A Slot. If you aren't running Close Counter, you can free up the B Slot as well, if something else looks more appealing. M!Grima doesn't need much work, either. He would really appreciate that Brazen Def/Res (Btw, easy access from M!Kana) and the Distant Defense Seal. If Lukas is using the Distant Defense Seal, use Attack Smoke Seal or one of the Drive Seals.
