You obviously seem to be missing the point. Elimo could go either 2 ways; negate all, or negate ailments and heal. Passives fit around those. Many negation units with all 3 inherently don't actually have status ailment negation, so that's what you'd slot in for Elimo if you owned one of them as well. That covers all 4 negations. Krantz loses worth by the day with his only saving grace being that he's been accessible for the longest as the first healing Legacy OE mitigator. The buffs he provides are lacklustre and easily replaceable. I mean. the reason everyone was gagging for him back then was because he can have 4-turn UBB which has turned out to be incredibly unpopular as it requires him being a 1-turn mitigator. May I add that non-attacking units are used regularly in threshold-content without trouble. Or did you think they were only for guard frontier purposes? Elimo is referred to as a 'trial unit' for a reason.

Azurai is relatively replaceable as a lead (and not necessary) seeing as the main reason he is set as lead is just for the 10% miti. I mean the critical damage portion of his kit is heavily resisted and you've already complained about crit, haven't you? We've got a whole spectrum of Omni units and many now have elemental, damage-based, or base-miti and Azurai's kit (and appalling BB-cost and animation) is not only partially resisted but just one version of many others.

Don't bother explaining how and why Charla and Rozalia are useful for FH. I already know that. I merely mentioned them as an example, and you'd see that I'd actually already explained why they're useful for it if you bothered paying any attention. I wasn't insinuating guard frontier was the best strategy at all.

Lastly, Avant is more viable than you think. Idc whether you'd ​call him viable or not, that's solely your opinion. Maybe you specifically wouldn't want to use him, but he's certainly viable regardless of whether you think so or not. Contrary to what you obviously think, 'viable' doesn't have the main meaning as 'optimal'. What I've been getting at from the start is that if you have better units then use them, but Avant is perfectly usable otherwise.
