IMO get Avant over Zenia. Aside from differing UBB's Avant is the next step up from Zenia. Avan't leader skill has an innate 70% spark buff and 100%  BB ATK buff on top of his 30% HP buff and 150% Crit Damage Buff. Zenia has 80% ATK buff, 150% BB ATK buff, and 1~2 BC fill on Spark buff. In terms of damage, Avant is the clear winner here. His LS also provides a 200% BB ATK buff and the exceedingly rare HP->ATK buff (15%). Atk buffs are becoming more and more of an asset these days due to all these new conversion buffs, and HP->ATK conversion buff is perhaps the best type of conversion buff because units can easily reach over 15k HP these days which means you'll get at least 2000 additional attack. An 80% Spark buff cannot really compare especially when you got another 140% attack buffer unit, and ATK buffs benefit more than Spark buffs since they apply to broader forms of damage and are not inibited by sparking.

Dolk is another great unit but I think he gets more hype than he deserves. His leader skill is easily replaceable by other units and they don't offer anything damage wise, but it's great defensively. As a sub unit, he negates elemental and crit damage, making him already the best mitigator in terms of being a tank for his team. His DEF->ATK conversion is ok. It really shines when there's a 140% DEF up buffer on the team, but I'd say Avant provides better ATK coverage with his conversion buff, especially when using double HP leads. Dolk's BC/HC drop rate buff is also ok, but if you have Tridon, then you won't really need his BC/HC buff, as Tridon provides many more uses for his team. IMO, I'd much rather prefer Krantz over Dolk. Krantz' extra skill puts his BC cost for spamming his SBB under 20BC and he provides a burst heal, as well as status negation (can perpetually keep this up if you have something like an Impeity Orb to negate status ailments). Krantz also has a much better UBB IMO, 100% DEF->ATK conversion is just too OP and also provides the same 75% damage mitigation as Dolk can.

Bestie is another great unit. I can't go too indepth here because I don't use her that much. But she excels when you don't have a unit that can boost BB gauge fill rate or provide BC when attacked. If you have at least 1 unit that can provide either of those buffs then I'd strongly consider against wanting to get her. She's great for Arena though with that +1 hit count. Her LS is great for BB spam but there are better BB spammers out there that can still get the job done DPS wise and still keep your BB gauges topped up.
