Theme Teams (That are Actually Good)

Does anyone have any Theme Teams that are actually viable and/or funny?
My go to Team (Thats not OP ATiki and Friends) is...

Wincest Tactics
(Seliph MVP, Julia Not Autistic, Eirika Just Like Lyon but Good, and Ephraim Disgusting... ehem... Legendary Lord)

Then there is Lunatic+++ aka Psychotic emblem
(Legion, Valter, Peri, and Karrel)

Bumpkin Pride They're...Decent
Gray, Neph, Dorcas, and Rebecca

And everyone's favorite OG Black Fangs.
Anyone else have any good ones?

I'm copy-pasting two that I crafted kind of off the wall in response to a monocolour challenge that was posted here a few weeks ago

Blue: hail the wielders of magic
PA Shigure: Fresh bouquet [corrected from Nifl frostflowers], sing, miracle, fury, wings of mercy, hone atk, fortify def or fortify res.
Nowi: spd build with distant def. Tends to win against greens if she doesn't get doubled and Naga tome isn't involved.
Tailtiu: obliterate everything with blade tome damage. Uses drive spd and atk smoke.
LA Lyn: Blarowl+def, swap, glacies, close counter, special fighter, spd ploy, close def. Deals with bold fighters, doubles using spd, destroys everybody with glacies. Spd ploy is only necessary against extremely fast units, whom she will be able to ploy.

Red: Awakening team
A.Tiki: Breath of Fog, reciprocal aid, glimmer, steady or warding breath, renewal, spur def/res, spur res. Can heal Lucina out of desperation if she needs to retreat after galeforce.
Lucina: Sealed Falchion, galeforce, brazen atk/spd, desperation, spur def/res, heavy or flashing blade. The team's berserker.
Olivia: kadomatsu, dance, moonbow, fury, wings of mercy, spur def/res, and hone spd.
Henry: because he'll tank everything with the right support. Rauthrowl+res, reposition, bonfire/ignis, distant def (Tiki will cover the melees), guard, hone atk, QR

I appreciate the use of Legion.

Hm, I guess my theme team that’s been fun for me to use is my Thracia 776 team and my Awakening team-

Thracia 776 team is Swordhardt, WT!Olwen, Finn and Nanna

And my Awakening team is Virion, Libra, Henry and currently Chrom but I’m waiting to replace him with Miriel when she arrives.

1. Old as Dirt:
Jagen
Gunter
Wrys
A!Tiki

2. A thousand friends:
Sharena (Wrys ally support)
Wrys
Wrys
Wrys

Tiki in the old as dirt caught me off guard. haha

I mean if I'm being honest she's there because there are no good options for red right now. Not many members of the cast draw attention to being old in the way that Jagen, Gunter and Wrys do. And most of them aren't old in the first place.

Fingers crossed for Mycen or Markus!

Roy and Lilina and their Valentine alts

Got a dark riders team
Ares (Fury/vantage)
Reinhardt (as himself)
Camus (mixed phase fury build)
Walhart (dual close def moble wall)

Not a full team but:
OG Chrom with spectrum bond Falchion pairs well with legedary Lucina.
She can help him move and still stay in bond range, both phases.
Anyone any idea for teammates on that one?

Looks like you need a magic user since both Chrom and Lucina are physical. Maybe a magic debuffer? Also a magic wall or tank could be useful too? 🤔

Yeah that sounds good.
Don't remember any green or red anti magic units that have a blue theme like those two though. But my Soren will do for now.

I love thematic teams (most of the ones I have are) but my favorite is double Grima/Morgan. Tactic team, Grimas tanking, Morgan M as support and female with bladetome.

I went ahead and made a Nohrian Fates Child Theme Team because I love Soleil and I happened to pull 4 Siegberts while trying to get 1 Soleil in their original banners (funny how other people wanted the other way around), so I merged the Siegberts. Eventually Kana had his GHB and I got him and merged, and I pulled a female Kana recently so I made that into a team. I also have Shigure and his PA! Alt, but I prefer the two dragons and Sword Users. Never really used Shigure in Fates, he was fragile and not too strong with my marriage candidates (Subaki, Laslow, and someone else), but in Heroes he can be one of my better Lancer users next to Cordelia.

I did the Trio flying sisters (Est, Palla, and Catria) just so I have them 5*'d out. Originally, I pity summoned a 5* Catria when I had one built already, so I merged them and she turned out to be a decent unit. Est was suppose to be my next building unit, but she got outshined by other units and I built her already so I 5* her, and Palla had to complete the Trio. As of now, I still need to pull a Minerva to complete the team.

I made the Dancing family that consist of Olivia, Inigo, Laslow, and Soleil. I just like the idea of the family being all together and Soleil resemblance to Olivia, her grandmother.

I also could make a Robin family team. I have Morgan female/male, and the Robin male/female and both Grimas.

And the only viable team from here is the Fates Children.

Darting Stance/Life and Death 3*
Desperation 3/Hit and Run*

Iote Shield

I still need to give them skills that give a higher Arena score, but the normal builds can work for Arena Defenses.
Shigure has the two builds for Arena Attack and Arena Defense. I'd assume that he has enough speed and bulk to not get doubled (unless a Brave weapon/effect occurs) and lives through most things to counterattack. The other builds are straightforward on what they do.

Edit: I ran a small test simulation with the Harmonic Lance build meant for Defense, and Shigure lives through most battles against MY OTHER UNITS (Shigure initiates) and the only deaths were due to Lancebreaker Units, some defensive green units and Vengeful Fighter units. If Shigure were not to initiate, only loses to units that can double against him (Brave effects, Bold Fighter, etc).

Theme teams are awesome, I love making them and running across them randomly in arena. A recent one I’ve been working on is Greil Mercenaries. It also gave me a good template to work with for a Tactics team. I don’t usually go for mixed teams, but I really like how Legendary Ike, Oscar, Soren, and Titania play together as a team.
