Is Winter Edelgard good?
Armored lance attacker who hits hardest with no allies beside her, since her weapon weakens for every adjacent one. Black Yule Lance can pre-charge her Special by up to three counts based on how far she moved, lays Divine Vein (Flame) behind her target, shreds the foe's Atk and Def, strips non-Special damage reduction and shuts off Miracle-type survival effects.
Raging Tempest adds an extra space, Charge, bonus damage off her Atk and another action when she starts the fight, so she can clear several foes a turn. The weak spot is 17 base Spd with nothing to stop follow-ups, which leaves her tanking double hits.

Skills
5Black Yule Lance
Weapon · Might 16 · Range 1Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% and unit initiates combat, applies【Divine Vein (Flame)】on 5 spaces in a line centered on foe's space and on the 5 spaces behind those spaces (based on direction unit is facing) for 1 turn after combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Def-X on foe (X = 15 - number of adjacent allies × 2; min 6), grants Special cooldown count-Y to unit before unit's first attack (Y = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat, max 3; if foe is in a space where allied 【Divine Vein (Flame)】is applied, then the value is treated as 3), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by percentage = 100 - number of allies adjacent to unit × 30 during combat, and also, if unit has weapon-triangle advantage or if foe is in a space where allied【Divine Vein (Flame)】is applied, neutralizes foe's non-Special "if foe would reduce unit's HP to 0, unit survives with 1 HP" effects during combat. 【Divine Vein (Flame)】 Applies the following effects on space: Acts as difficult terrain for foes with Range = 2 (moving over this space costs +1 movement; does not apply to "cannot be slowed by terrain" effects; movement cost cannot exceed unit's allowed movement). At start of enemy phase, deals 7 damage to foe, and also, as combat begins, deals an additional 7 damage to foe (effects that reduce damage "during combat" do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1). (Divine Vein effects do not stack; replaces any existing Divine Vein effect; Divine Vein effects applied simultaneously cancel each other out.)
Armored Blaze
Special · Cooldown 3Boosts Special damage by 40% of unit's Def when Special triggers. If foe's Range = 1 and unit or foe's Special is ready or triggered before or during this combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).
Atk/Def Prime 4
A skillIf【Bonus】is active on unit, grants Atk/Def+X to unit during combat (X = number of【Bonus】effects active on unit, excluding stat bonuses, × 2, + 3; max 9), and also, if number of【Bonus】effects active on unit (excluding stat bonuses) ≥ 4, unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range during combat. 【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance).
Raging Tempest
B skillAt start of turn, if unit's HP = 100% or if any foe is within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on unit, grants "unit can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack)" and【Charge】 to unit for 1 turn. If number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, inflicts Atk/Def-5 on foe during combat, deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and if unit initiates combat, grants another action to unit after combat (once per turn; if a skill effect moves unit after combat, this effect occurs based on unit's final placement after that movement). 【Charge】 Unit can move up to 3 spaces in any cardinal direction. (Cannot move through foes, terrain that blocks movement, or effects of skills like Obstruct. Granted movement treated as Warp movement.)
Def/Res Ploy 3
C skillAt start of player phase or enemy phase, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts Def/Res-7,【Ploy】, and【Exposure】 on those foes through their next actions. 【Ploy】 Neutralizes【Bonus Doubler】,【Treachery】, and【Grand Strategy】effects active on unit during combat through unit's next action. 【Exposure】 Foe's attacks deal +10 damage. 【Bonus Doubler】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current bonus on each of unit's stats for 1 turn. Calculates each stat bonus independently. 【Treachery】 Unit deals additional damage = total bonuses on unit for 1 turn. 【Grand Strategy】 Grants bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current penalty on each of unit's stats × 2 for 1 turn. (Example: if unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+14, for a net bonus of Atk+7.) Calculates each stat bonus independently. Unit's negative effects that last "through unit's next action" will remain in effect until this status (Grand Strategy) is neutralized.
