Which Armored Unit to take?

So I just want some input on which second armored unit I should take once the Black Knight releases for NA.

So basically I'm running the dual armor team, with a Supported Jaffar with Fury and a Ninian to both bait out Red mages and to basically allow my tanky assassin Jaffar to kill literally anything without my worry of dying against anything either. Then I have Amelia (+spd -res) and Zephiel to act as a very mobile wall of defense and damage.

Once I get my dude the Black Knight I'll be replacing Zephiel, ofc. What I'm wondering about is if I should continue running Amelia with him since BK is mostly a baiter so I kind of want an offensive armored unit and my Hector is basically another armored baiter, so not as great of a combo. OR, if I should finish boosting my +atk -spd Effie and give her Armored March from a second Amelia I'm saving just incase I need the skill.

The thing is, Effie is all around better, but if I did switch to her I'd likely switch to a Green mage instead of Ninian (Nino, Soren, or maybe even Robinne if I feel like being a hipster lol). This so I can keep that color on the team and also cause BK has a lower Res then Zephiel does, 5 points lower I think it was, and a mage would provide that for me. Problem is, Ninian + Jaffar is ridiculous, and Jaffar was my first fav character from my first FE game I played as a kid, so I'm keeping him on no matter what lol

So should I keep Ninian and Amelia on the team with BK and Jaffar? Or should I swap them out for Effie and a green mage like Nino or Soren?

This one kinda boils down to color preference. Both Amelia and Effie are really good, but Amelia is a strong front line support while Effie is an all out attacker. I also use jaffar and a dancer for debuff support and chip damage, and its worked well for me so far. However, Amelia supports BK really well due to armor march (#armoremblem2k17) and is just as fast to avoid follow ups, while effie will use up a b slot to avoid follow ups, and be worn down to mages in the arena. Personally, I would keep the team as is, but if you want raw damage over support, i'd recommend switching either ninian or jaffar. Overall, up to whether or not you want a support oriented team with support on BK and Jaffar or an all out attack team. Jaffar has high damage output, but works best with support like a dancer, and a dancer will also help when armor march isn't available.

Those are some great points you make there. I think I will just stick with Amelia and Ninian then, since Ninian is so amazing with Jaffar and apparently Amelia might work better with BK then Effie would, as you put it lol

Thnx for the input! :D
