To promote or not?

Is it worth to promote 4 stars unit to 5 stars or should i just leave my 4stars unit as 4stars? if i were to promote who should I promote? sorry if the list is too long.
my current 5 stars team consist of Ryoma(+att/-spd), Ephaim(-hp/+res), Linde(-att/+def), Reinheart(+def/-res), Hector(+att/-res), Kagero(-hp/+def), & Lachesis(-hp/+spd)
I do also have a 5 stars Hawkeye(-spd/+res), Raven(-hp/+def), Hector(neutral), & Faye(-hp/+res).
Here's a list of 4stars unit that I would like to promote.
Red Unit: Chrome(-att/+def), Marth(+spd/-res), Roy(+def/-res), Henry(+hp/-def) Tharja(-hp/+res or +hp/-def) or Olivia to a 4 star unit
Blue Unit: Effie(-att/+res), Cordelia(+spd/-def), Abel(-att/+spd), Nowi(+att/-res) & Corrin(F) (+spd/-res, +att/-def, +att/-spd or +def/-res)
Green Unit: Michalis (neutral) or Merric (-att/+def or +hp/-res)

You already have a great red swordsman, so from red I would go for Tharja or maybe Olivia, since you didn't mention any other dancers. But Tharja needs a lot of support and the only thing she's good for imho is killing Hector. So from reds I suggest Olivia, cause she is super flexible.
From blue I would go for nowi. She is also an extremely reliable unit. Effie is extremely powerful, but needs a lot of inheritance.
From Green I would choose michalis. Merric is somewhat ok, but I never found him particularily useful. Michalis however can ambush enemy mages and blue mages are still pretty popular, so that's a plus.

Overall I would shorten the list into Olivia, Nowi, Michalis. But a dancer can be used in every team, especially with your extreme nuker lineup. So the winner for me is Olivia.

Red:
Olivia is probs the only one I'd recommend
Tharja really needs a +spd IV to function well since she's not quite Nino/Linde tier and can't reliably double others as well as they do.
Marth has ideal IVs and is okay if you really need a Falchion user, although Ryoma is good enough already I think (although -spd is unfortunate)

Blue:
Nowi is the only one I'd recommend, Effie really wants +atk & brave lance to be fully effective

Green:
Michalis is okay but I wouldn't invest 20k feather on the guy unless if you really need a tanky green flier
Merric nope

Not on the list but I'd highly recommend promoting Zephiel/Xander - they're by far some of the most efficient f2p characters available, and Zeph is fantastic with distant counter if you're not interested in merging your hector

Distant counter Zephiel has to be a huge problem with the introduction of defensive maps..would never want to deal with such bs lol. Probably only reinhard could kill him if he would be danced?

Report

This is the distant counter set I've been using on Zephiel, which has gotten me up to 4.9k arena points from last season. From memory, the only unbuffed characters that can OHKO him is atk+ Reinhardt and Abel. This means nothing can reliably one-shot him and anyone who engages is forced to be crippled next turn from Eckesachs passive + threaten atk. The fact that he counters all green mages and cannot be OHKO'd by Linde makes him a great answer for glass cannon mages, and distant counter makes it easier for Zeph to charge/proc his specials, letting him one shot some mages that otherwise counter him.

That's pretty awesome. An absolute nightmare to fight against. Wish I was lucky enough to at least pull a single hector or even two for that matter. But being a f2p player who spent 10€ in total mostly as a sign of support for the developers, I guess I can't really complain that I don't have him yet.
