Healers aren't necessary. Lucina is good. Work with her and the 4* then hope for another 5 or 4.

Why do Lunatic now? I'd focus on leveling up my whole roster while the XP dungeons are half XP.

For the orbs, mainly (I'm F2P so far), but also the quests and seeing how far I can get.

I rolled a 4-star Camilla today and finally have a halfway decent green

I think I can put down these banners, and start saving up for the next ones. I didn't get everything I wanted (should have rerolled for Tiki) but if I don't learn to live with not getting everything I want, I will become a whale

I sometimes use Effie for the same thing, when there's a good opportunity and/or it's obvious she just won't get to the battle in a meaningful time, even if Roy pushes her along.

So I'm doing pretty alright so far. First five pull (after a reroll) gave me a 5* Jeorge, who has been slaughtering everything since I got him and making the game extremely easy. Second set of five got me a 5* Lyn, and third got me a 5* Roy. (All from the Legendary Heroes set, i.e. the one that doesn't feature Lyn or Roy.) My team is now those three plus Effie (4*), since my blue and green selection is awful; taking out repeats, I have nine red characters (twelve with repeats), eleven whites, four blues, and three greens. I have more red or white characters than I have blue and green.

Thankfully this isn't holding me back too bad, other than blue enemies occasionally being really annoying. Beat everything in normal mode, making some progress in Hard/Lunatic, and managed a fourth five pull (nothing that good sadly; best was a 4* Fir and I already have Lyn and Roy) and fully upgraded my castle. Working on saving up for another five draw and really hoping for some good blues and/or greens this time.

What are friends in this game good for, apart from showing up randomly in your castle and occasionally giving you things? I haven't seen them do much yet.

Well I saved up for another five pull, thanks to the event, and...

Wow. I just, I'm not sure what to make of this. It's so good and so useless (to me) at the same time.

Thankfully my team's doing alright anyway, but man. Up to thirteen red and fourteen white characters out of thirty-four total, and none of the good new things surpass what I already have (except Jakob I guess; I didn't have any good thieves). I just want a decent blue or green character who isn't an immovable object like Effie.

I have a 5-Star Abel which is my best guy, according to the tier list he's in the upper As...

Then I have 5-Star Robin, Marth and Roy which are loving useless together so I think I'll augment my 5-Star team with my one 4-Star healer that I've been playing with.

Had a bit to drink with dinner and spent bux with the very optimistic goal of getting Lucina but really just any other decent 5* to round out my team.

First pull was Lucina :v:

these multiple Takumi teams in Arena are getting real weird to deal with. Robin can generally handle them on his own but when there's multiple Takumis I have to kind of kite them around a bit until they're a bit isolated so I can kill them without immediately getting killed too.

I wonder why they didn't restrict you to one of a character on your team.

That's it. Nobody can have luck this good. I now have five 5 star units from three pulls and got Camilla who I desperately needed to round out my team. So now running Robin, Chrom, Tiki and Camilla. If I can replace Chrom with Takumi at some point I'm laughing.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

For skill like Wary Fighter and Lancebreaker that mention the unit health %, do they use the % when you initiate combat OR after the first blows?

Also people are missing why Camilla is good.

Takumi is used by basically everyone, Cordelia at 40 oneshots him before he can strike back. So a lot of teams use her (also for galeforce shenanigans)

Camilla at 40 oneshots Cordelia, so she ends up as the Takumi counter-counter.

i wouldn't say "a lot" of people use cordelia, I played a lot of pvp (obvious because of my stupid nerd rating) and i saw literally none of them and i saw a lot of Takumi, sword-lords, and Tikis. i dont think Camilla is a good meta choice atm. on the other hand i think Abel and Robin are insanely good anti-meta units if you're grinding expert pvp.

Takumi also loses to Takumi since you're not a stupid AI, so there's really no need for a Takumi counter in the meta.

in the future if the meta becomes less red-heavy, Camilla might have a place in teams, but right now she just doesn't compete especially since if you need to run a green there's Hector who's much better

I'm at 3889 offense and 260 defence and rank 2800ish, so there is a fair gap at the top depending on how far into the 3900s you are.

That was about 12 hours ago but I'm sure people will blast through at the last moment using the quest rewards, honestly I'm not too fussed since I can only imagine it'll be impossible to keep up with whales in PvP sooner or later

e: I was ~1200 when I hit 3889 about 12 hours ago

While Takumi (for legitimate reasons) gets all of the attention of the archers, I'm wondering how the two runners-up compare, Jeorge and Gordin. As I said before, I got a 5* Jeorge in my first draw and he has been wrecking things for the most part, and in my last draw I got a 4* Gordin, and I'm wondering how the two of them compare to each other, and also in general I suppose. The tier list puts the two on the same level, so I suppose they're roughly comparable, but to me, Jeorge seems more straightforward and reliable, while Gordin seems a bit gimmicky (and has a skill that activates when you're below a certain HP threshold, which doesn't seem ideal).

Is there anything I'm missing, and also should I really even care because thus far Jeorge has been a death machine and unless I'm trying to optimize I shouldn't even worry?
