These days, with multiple buffs in units, it's hard to have a team with maximum efficiency and no clash. I don't think it's a problem, as long as you're not doubling up on absolutely everything, which would be pretty hard to do by accident.

If you don't specifically need elemental buffs, you could always swap Zeruiah out for Vermillion. If you have another spark buffer and don't want the clash, it looks like Vermillion's heal is somewhat higher than Adel's, so you could swap out him and another unit to make room for her and a different spark buffer. Tridon overlaps with Zeruiah a bit, so if you don't really need his shield or basic def buff, she's the better BC/HC buffer, so you can swap him out. If you do need more survivability, and have enough damage output to ignore the elemental weakness damage boost, then swap her out. I would say if you keep Zeruiah for elemental buffs, you don't need Melchio for his, but his ability to cleanse statuses is great and so is his defense conversion. If you aren't facing curse and paralysis inducers, you could still swap him out for the tiger tamer. ;)

Also, if you really need Zeruiah, I think the odds are good one or more people on your friends list has her as a leader right now, so it shouldn't be hard to keep her as a friend helper. She seems like the most likely option, IMHO.
