So Flier Emblem eh?

I want to start a Flier Emblem team, but I'm not sure who should be in it?
Here are some units I'm thinking of:
4* +Spd/-Def Caeda (Brave Lance and Iceberg)
4* +Spd/-Res Palla
4* +Spd/-HP and 5* +Atk/-Spd Cordelia
5* +HP/-Spd Catria
4* +Atk/-Res Cherche
4* Michalis

Besides Caeda, no one else has any SI since I've been really confused. Who should be on the team and what skills should they have?
(I may plan on making Camilla 5* to give Cherche Brave Ax+)

The biggest issue with Flier Emblem is that 3 major components are hard to get.

Green Mage > Spring banner only
Blue Mage > Summer banner only
Hone Fliers > 5* only

Without at least one of these flier emblem is a bit frustrating, as you get walled by Armor emblem a little too easily.

Wat to do?
Cordelia and Cherche are the best brave users. With +Atk and Death blow they threaten to ohko any unit weak in the color triangle. (A rare few units will require hone atk or threat def also)

Dealing with Hector is a bit harder.
+Atk, Death Blow, Brave Sword, Moonbow, QP 4* Palla can ohko hector, but only if she quads. At 5* with hone atk and brave sword+ she can do it without quading.
{Palla is also available at 3* so, she is easier to get}
Caeda has 6 less atk. :|

Catria has 4 less Atk. (but I guess she could run iotes shield and bulk archers.)

Note that, while this is in terms of Arena, it can apply to other modes as well. Enemies can spawn with 40+ def, and become very hard to kill.

Some math.

Cordelia (+Atk, BL+)
---------------------------
Atk: 46
vs
Zeph (55hp, 38def)
46*1.2 (55) - 38 (17) x2 (34)
[Death Blow 2]
50*1.2 (60) - 38 (22) x2 (44)
[DB 2 & Hone atk]
54*1.2 (64) - 38 (26) x2 (52)

Triangle Adept *would* fix this, but it'll also kill your ability to solo greens if you need to.
Best to bait one atk, then ohko.

Cherche (+Atk, BA+)
------------------------
Atk: 52
vs
Hetctor (52hp, 37def)
52-37 (15) x2 (30)
[Death Blow 2]
56-37 (19) x2 (38)
[Death Blow 2 + Hone]
60-37 (23) x2 (46)
D:
(don't worry, she wreaks blue ppl)

Palla (+Atk, BS+)
Atk: 42
vs
Hetctor (52hp, 37def)
42*1.2 (50) -37 (13) x2 (26)
[DB 2]
46*1.2 (55) -37 (18) x2 (36)
[DB 2 + QP Moon]
46*1.2 (55) -37 (18) x + (55) -37*.7{26} (29) = 47
:/

Without any special edition hero like Camila or Corrin, magic isn't present unfortunately and range is needed severely for fliers and certain matchups to successfully survive. I haven't even thought of making a flier team simply because I have no one that can supplement magic.
