Give Amelia and Ewan an actual incentive to use, or at least make them viable enough

The ability to have your units not be instantly dead once their hp reaches zero, but instead simply with lowered stats/fatigued for future deployments (for more than 1 chapter, for let’s say 4-5 maps of becoming unable to participate) (basically what starlit souls is planning to implement, sounds really interesting in general)

Every single unit is able to use every single weapon type for that full inventory customizability :333 (animation-compliant, of course) (the game will devolve into Fire Emblem: The Anima Stones lol)
