Need Armor emblem advise

Im trying to build an armor emblem team but im a bit confused, should i go for armor march or DC unit (Zelgius)/ CC unit Winter Tharja? Hope to see them in legendary banner if not, then will be waiting for them to appear in the future. Right now i have Hector (-def +spd ), +def -res Sheena and LA Eliwood at 5*, and Gwendolyn 4* +5 and Zephiel at 4*. Can promote at least one copy of them, but they not as good for arena without DC, are they?
I cant afford DC, thats the hardest thing here.

Many people will argue you that Armor March isn't really that important of a skill in an Armor Emblem team since, for the most part, they sit in one place and use positioning skills (swap/pivot/etc) to prevent bad match ups.

Also, Distant Counter is not needed to make a good unit. While yes, it's one of the best A skills in game (not on all units however), it's not the ONLY A skill that can put in work.

For promoting, I'd promote Zephiel. His weapon refinement gives him Distant Defense 3 and inflicts Def -6 on units within 2 spaces (excluding dragon units).

Yes it is not the olny a slot skill but i feel like it is absolutely must skill for armor unit because of movement restriction.
As for Zephiel i do like him because of art and stuff, but is he viable without dc?
I am gratefull for advise, maybe i put too much value into dc. Never used armor emblem before.

Zephiel can be made into a tank: Tank hits so other units don't have to. He can be made into a good unit without Distant Counter, but he won't be able to take advantage of all the added defense/resistance for something like Bonfire, but he can easily set up the enemy into a potential ambush for his other teammates.

Without some kind of movement help like Armor March or Armored Boots (whatever that 2 movement at 100% health sacred seal is) you will find the enemy team can easily chip away at a 1 movement per turn armor team. If you lack the movement DC comes in handy and is almost required to be effective. Or armored ranged units like LA Lyn, Winter Tharja, Haloween Henry/Jakob all greatly help armored teams. Ask yourself how are you going to stop a mage like the easily acquired Lilina from droping a +55 Atk forblaze shot on your weakened Res then getting out of,range with a reposition leaving you with damage and no way to retaliate. DC and Armor March and Ranged Armor units all make for the best armor emblem.

With your current units listed I agree with the Zephiel promotion if you don't have Black Knight. Is the BK starter pack still available? That Hector is fantastic on any team. Eliwood is good but hes just well rounded, meaning weapon triangle will get to him easily, so you'd need a green check. That Zephiel with duel Distant Defense from his weapon and a seal might do the job.
