Clarste posted:Uh... what would the point of that be? In Arena, if the healer unit doesn't have an offense spell equipped they can't get baited out into making a suicidal attack and will instead just sit behind the rest of your nerds and heal them like they're supposed to. I have no idea how the game selects what team you use when you're defending though so this is kind of pointless theorycraft until they add some way to manually make a team of defenders.

MegaZeroX posted:But you net lose out on like 2 orbs because of efficiency. It really depends on whether you want to be time efficient or total orb efficient. The last 3 orb pull is false economy, as if you're picky about the colours you're after (which you should be) it will usually be something you don't need/want.

I'd argue that for your first 3-4 pulls you care about quantity enough that you should do the full pull. After that though, you should usually target colors for sure though. Never go into the summoning menu with fewer than 20 orbs though, just in case every summon is of a color you want.

Well the idea is, when you're starting off and rerolling until you're happy with a roll you want, the overall quantity of pulls you make will be greater if you make 17-pulls every minute or so rather than 20-pulls every five minutes or so. Yeah, that last three-cost summon is going to be lost to the ether forever, in exchange for getting four mans you're happy with in a much more reasonable amount of time.

Are there units in the game yet that have a full kit of A/B/C skills? I've already got an adequate squad of 5* units, so unless there's actually a reason for me to continue pulling I think I'm going to hold off rolling until they start adding the inevitable 6* gatyafes exclusive characters

Clarste posted:Uh... what would the point of that be? Aside from what was already mentioned, arena match-making works based on the sums of your character's ratings (sum of stats). Unequipping weapons lowers the rating on your healers which is more favourable to you if you didn't build your team with the idea of them attacking in mind anyway. A lot of cheese offense teams do this as well, going something like level 40 Hector, level 40 Takumi, level 1 no weapon healer, level 1 no weapon healer. Or replace a healer with a low level dancer.

Gallant puts his best unit in the lead to ward off inexperienced players. Goofus uses 2 Takumi and a Tiki, but puts some garbage pegasus knight as his captain to farm easy Defense wins.

Yeah I feel like I'm about done pulling for blue units - a Hinoka/Abel/Odin would be cool (the last more for character favouritism than anything), but I already have Robin/Subaki/Peri/Oboro/Gwendolyn, which is a pretty good spread. I wish there were more ninjas/archers in the pool. You really don't need more than 1-2 healers.

Once again tried to test my luck again and did 10 more summons. All of them were pretty lackluster(with a 4* Roy to rub salt in the wound) though I got a 5* Hinoka in the end which neat I guess. Threw another 10 summons got a Lucina and a 5* Nowi for my efforts. At the moment I'm having my doubts that my Lucina would be as decent compared to Lyn due to her beginning 10 levels being 4 single digits and 2 no stats. Right now her stats: Lucina Lv26 HP: 34 Atk: 37 Def: 19 Spd: 24 Res: 15 Compared to: Lyn Lv27 HP: 30 Atk: 36 Def: 17 Spd: 31 Res: 20 I know she's very good but man I wish she got some better level ups.

Thanks for all the great advice guys, but I decided to blow all my orbs on the castle and I got Lyn from my second pull. And gently caress resetting anyway. I did that poo poo for PAD and I hated my life. And in the end I burnt out on PAD before I even got to the point where having one of the best starting rolls would have gotten me further than something suboptimal.

I was planning on playing Fates Birthright, then Conquest since the latter is supposed to be better. But just based off this story mode I might skip Birthright entirely because that crew seems lame as hell.

I assumed upgrading her weapon would be enough to make her actually hit for more than 0x2 on everything but it absolutely didn't after a handful of levels. I'm having similar "luck" with my 4* Lon'qu who I figured might be alright since Vantage is the good good but even he struggles to bust through even mediocre armor and just eats curb constantly.

I had 5 emulators going running reroll scripts and I only saw 1 Hector in 2 days. Around 200 rerolls total.

dragon enthusiast posted:I been playing arena for a few days but haven't gotten any thing from defending, an I missing something? cheetah7071 posted:That means your team isn't beating anybody. This isn't too surprising since the dumbass AI is controlling your team and you presumably don't have a full whale setup Clarste posted:I tried that, doesn't work. Takumi is certainly good, but everyone's pretty used to dealing with him by now. My Takumi team with Nino as the face has exactly 0 defense wins. You'd be better off with another good character in that slot. It might just mean literally no one is actually choosing you as well. Which is what I think happened to me last season, and continues into this one. Ergo, my "Defense Results" tab simply says "No Records", and presumably a loss should be a record as well as a win. I'm also a monster who eventually tossed two sub-lvl 10s in with 5* lvl 30+s in a desperate attempt to get something, so you'd think I'd have gotten at least 1 win by now if people were actually picking me. At least Defence is worth by far the least feathers as well, since you can't actually control whether anyone picks you, and loses, or not.
