Description
B16 Lilina 5(4) copies can be optionally added, but I haven't found them that necessary in testing. Sometimes it can collide a little with Lachesis.
You can up and down copies of things like Canas 1, Raigh 1, Nino 4(3), Brunnya 4(3), Tiki 5, Myrrh 3, Lianna 4(3), Eliwood 2, and Eliwood 5(4). I would advise keeping Eliwood 5(4)s at a slightly higher number, and Canas 1 / Raigh 1s should be kept at 3 minimum. These are just the ratios I prefer.
You can also add an extra copy of Zephiel 1 to at least bump Fate Emblem chances, but I've found Zephiel is often a deck you don't really want to have a ton of copies of Zephiel on hand (personally, others do disagree on the logic). If you feel you're more likely to face aggro, you can bump up the copies. I would advise staying away from B09 4(3) - it's only good if you sack with Hero Emblem... like TakesAzelfie. Sorry, I mean ♡ ????? ??????? ♡.
Peony 3 is a good option too because it still can net a free card (you're likely to have 3 faceup bonds by the 5th Bond deployment), it helps 60 base attackers hit without Zephiel buff, and can help Roy / Al hit with Zeph buff + Peony buff.
B22 Eirika 4(3) is an option as well, but I'd only run it with Peony personally.
Hero Emblems
I'm not usually on board with Hero Emblems because Zeph prefers taking a specific pace with negating your opponent resources. Hero Emblem, while it can speed up your gameplan, can also potentially give your opponent too mu
