Salvageable Unit?

So during the Legendary Hector Banner I managed to pull a few 5 star with non optimal IV.
Winter Tharja +atk -res
Lute +res -hp
Elincia +def -res
Can I still make it work? Or should i wait a better one?

Lute is fine, her ploying potential will be even better.

W!Tharja is fine, but maybe keep her away from magic, since her res will be too low to tank.

Elincia will struggle due to not having optimal IVs. I don’t see her working

For questions like this, I always want to know how the player intends to use the unit. While none of these are optimal IVs, none appear to be unsalvageable. Other than tharja, none of them, at least in my opinion, have premium skills for SI either.

So, my suggestion would be if you think you will be trying to build a merge of any of these units, go ahead and start the premium build and merge later when you pull better IVs. If you don't plan to merge, just do a budget build but skip premium skills like close counter on tharja and Galeforce on elincia. They'll still be perfectly useful in PvE, arena assault, etc.

Well rn im thinking to build Tharja as Red Magic Nuke and Lute as Ploy Unit. And Elincia sadly i feel conflicted on how to use her. So i just try to optimizing my current unit.
I feel my luck is not enough to pull another for better iv or merge (got a lot of 4* Ogma and 4*Lukas in the process btw)

I personally would use them all if I was F2P. Elincia while not having the best boon, still is workable in a flying emblem. She got nice brave sword+ and could work well with hitnrun or even the new chill def. tharja can also tank mages fairly well even with a bane in res. Just give her a res refine for her weapon or slap on a DD3 seal. Lute is great with that high res giving her great potential in debuffing while powering her iceberg/glaciers damage

Tharja is the only red mage armor in the game atm so u don’t really wanna fodder her yet.
If u have a strong red sword flier u don’t really need elincia but she doesn’t really have anything great to fodder. There are more better b slot skills unless u want a better movement control team.
Lot of other blue infantry mages to use other then lure but res ploy is the only thing u would fodder her for. But would be better to fodder gunnthra for res ploy as she will appear more thanks to legendary banner only unit and may come to u as pitybreaker.
Rather then let them sit in ur barracks u can always build them slightly to use for AA or use their default kit and fodder them later when the time comes.

Yes they're all usable. I'll also add that my Elincia is neutral IV's and is one of my most-used heroes for Flier emblem teams. Her defensive stats don't really matter since she's so Player Phase oriented, and her bane doesn't touch her Atk or Spd. If anything your Elincia could work better than Neutral because she can take a melee hit better than mine.

Tharja might have a bad bane, but she has a good boon. Pretty good ivs actually, just patch with a res refined weapon.
Lute can ploy better, and she has a hp bane, arguably her best bane
Elincia might as well be neutral, because when using a Brave weapon user that only cares about atk and spd all other stats don’t really matter
All in all pretty good ivs

Honestly, Lute is perfectly fine (in fact, she can better utilize ploys with the higher Res), Winter Tharja has plenty of Res and can be patched with a weapon refine, and Elincia has none of her offensive stats neutered. They are completely salvageable, even if they aren't the best IVs.
