I need some serious help with Armor Emblem

This may be a long one, I apologize.

So I've been working on Armor Emblem for a little while now. My Definite members are Effie (-Speed +Defense, have a -Speed +Attack 4 star one that I plan to promote eventually) with the standard Brave Lance set, and a Halloween Henry (-Attack +Speed) with Gronnblade, Desperation, and Fury (Which means I can't stack a bunch of wards like a lot of people do).

Now my struggles come from the other two spots on my team. The first one, I wish to be a sword armor. So either Arden or Black Knight. The thing is, I already have my dedicated player phase Nuke (Effie) so Arden would be running Steady Breath + Aether with either a Slaying Edge or a Wo Dao. Black Knight would have either Steady Breath or Fury. Now, I don't have any Hinata and I am really against using Steady breath because 1) Since I don't have Wrath, it won't allow Black Luna to activate in one turn without Quick Reposte (I guess I could give him Quickened Pulse but there are other units I feel need it more, like Reinhardt or B!Roy) and 2) I think that Aether + Steady Breath is such an amazing combo that I don't like the thought of using Steady breath without Aether. An alternative A skill I've been thinking about for him is Life and Death. Okay, now I get that it sounds bat crap crazy but hear me out. With L&D Black Knight will reach a high 55 Attack and a very respectable 39 speed while only lowering his defense to 30 (Higher than a lot of popular sword units). And although he will become very susceptible to mages, once he gets into vantage range his attack is high enough to one shot a majority of mages in the current meta.

For the last slot I want an Axe unit. I was thinking about Sheena, but with both Hector and Amelia appearing in banners soon, I've steered away from this idea. Between the other two axes, I am kinda leaning towards Amelia but I'd also like to hear opinions on this.

I know it's a lot, but if anyone could shed some light on my situation, it would be much appreciated. Thank you :)

BK over Arden is a logical choice. He can easily tank red and green mages for you as well as melee threats of those colours. Personally I have just kept steady stance on him as I don't have a better option. I also merged him as soon as I got him in tt.

As for the fourth unit I would go for hector. Amelia may have better stats but the armads dc synergy is still the best skill set in the game and it gives him a higher arena rating. Plus hector will be at 8% rate as opposed to amelia at 3% so much higher chance of getting one or more of him. And even if you wanted amelia you would still need a hector to make her really viable with dc.

Adding to this the no.1 most important thing if you want to use armour emblem for arena is the panic ploy seal. I have it on effie and it makes countering cancer emblem so much easier.

You're right.I've Effie,H henry,Bk,Hector as my main armor emblem.Because of armads,DC and vintage I gave my hector(+att -res)Panic ploy seal.His 52 hp almost guarantees Panic Ploys activation.

-Speed/+Def Effie is better than +Attack

If she's running a brave lance set I would say that +Attack would be better even with her monstrous attack stat

Between Hector or Amelia.. both are good, is a question of taste, but I think an armor team should have two armor march skills (Henry and Amelia, or Hector with AM, if you prefer). Really, this slot doesn't matter, if you run Fortify and Hone Armor on Effie and your Sword, Henry will be unstoppable, adding 30 extra damage, and probably double a lot of enemies (This is my Henry, same as you, with -att +hp).

About your sword armor, both options are good, but Arden usually falls in front of magic. BK can avoid to be double-attacked at least, or Zephiel with Wary Fighter. These three give good results, depends on what you are looking for.

And... yes. Better effie with +att. Good luck!
