Rate My Team (Wyvern Riders Flier Team)

Yeah like it sounds, no Pegasus, no Kinshis and no flying dragons, just Wyvern Riders.
Why? For fun and love for them. Are they competitive? Let's see...
We are in the Flier Emblem era now and properly builded they can make things like beating Infernal Legendary Ryoma in one turn... But that is thanks to a necessary mixing of Pegasus, Wyverns and a ridiculous seasonal outfit. So we are going for the straightforward melee oriented and easilly obtainable Wyvern Riders.
Why no one dares to make a team like this? Because it is simply a bad idea: weakness to Reds, weakness to mages, weakness to archers, and lack of ranged and refresher units, but mostly of this problems can be solved.

-Camilla. She is the answer to mages. Camilla is well known for this role by her high res, but with her new weapon upgrade she can be also the main Green nuke and really she becomes the core of the team. Basically she plays the Goad stacking game and keeps her older Distant Counter build. Saddly mine Is +Def -Res but with Summoner support she reaches 30 res, enough to survive a hit from any non red mage, enter in Vantage range and kill any ranged who tries to attack her. Also she serves as a movement support unit thanks to Flier guidance and Flier formation, those skills are really useful to be in the right place to attack/bait specific units, with this I don't even need a NY Azura. Some guides and players say that prefere to abuse from the buffs she can give with Goad Fliers and Drive Atk, but after testing it I really like More the movility bucause I can do "magic" positioning and is very fun, anyways they can kill and doesn't need that extra power. I tried to make the other units more self sustained than her, but she Is the only team dependant so she benefits more to have her allies near.

-Valter. He is the answer to the red weakness. With the buffs and movility support from Camilla he can move, attack, double, activate Galeforce and kill two dangerous red shirts in one turn, sometimes Ayras and Soleils can't be doubled but they end dying in a single hit.

-Cherche. Another Green nuke but more specialized. The usual brave axe build with slaying hammer instead and Axebreaker just to secure the kill on those Ward buffed Hectors, Amelias, W!Chroms W!Lyssas and Sheenas, and some tough greens like B!Ike, Dorcas and Legion. She even does more damage to those high def Black Knights than Valter.

-Michalis. He is the answer to archers (ok just B!Lyn). Originally due to the offensive nature of the team I tried that Deflect melee-vantage-ignis build running around on YouTube, but in practice he wastes a turn attacking an unit that could be easilly killed by Camilla or Cherche in order to proc the vantage-ignis, so I decided to make him an arrow blocker to bait a B!Lyn and break her formation, then kill her in the next turn. And for melee tanking Ignis works well because he kills in two hits thanks to Quick Riposte + Goads and begin the next turn with Ignis charged for a more productive player phase.

Also tested other units like Minerva, Gerome and Beruka, but they add nothing new for the team, Camilla now is better than Minerva as an offensive and versatile unit plus the higher res, Gerome is unnecessary because they kill horses anyway, and Beruka doesn't kill a shit, Michalis is better for tanking and don't lose the offensive.

I also dont' like the seasonal units, but S!Camilla and S!Corrin are great too and can make the team more strong offensively, but that's a different playstyle that changes the composition of the team a bit, starting with the buffs.

Sometimes I change Flier Formation seal on Camilla for Distant Defence, Lote's Shield on Michalis for Close Defense and Goad Fliers for Ward Fliers on Valter for survivability in Infernal maps, but in general I think it is a solid team, the deathless rows in the Arena approves it. Hope you liked and see more love for the Wyvern Riders.

"no flying dragons"

I was about to get triggered, but then I realized you meant Myrrh/F!Grima. xD

The only thing I'm noticing is the overabundance of green units riding dragons... Is NY!Camilla the only red-dragon-riding unit, and Valter the only one for blue? Oh my..

Yeah, it was tough to make ir work being all greens, at least I can handle it in Arena offense but in defense definitivelly doesn't work, their weaknesses are very exploitable
