He'll always be useful for training purposes. Pain is fantastic at weakening enemies so your other characters can finish them off.

Is that the deal where he does 10 damage after combat, but it never kills anyone? Because yes that owns and is a big part of why he is, and will remain, My Good Boy Azama.

Fae seems like a reasonable way to check him to me, you could also upgrade your Sharena and Olivia and start riding the Nino smash express.

He doesn't need Olivia for that since he already has Azura

Your dad's in the Russian Mafia, that's the jumpoff!
Cleared the Hard campaign battles and got 20 orbs, did another 5-pull and got my first 5* Spear unit in Eraphim!

Hooray for another 5* unit to level up...at least he's good though.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.


Threw some money on the game and pulled double 5* mages. Got my Robin slayer and Ryoma slayer, two assholes who gatekeep my perfect arena run constantly.

If you pull one 5* first, does the pity counter reset right away or after the summoning is done? I was up to 5% for both focus and non focus and managed to pull two with one set of 20 orbs.

Ha, I just got the Fae today, so I'm glad she might be able to help me out on that front. I'll probably go with her for now while I get Sharena boosted up for Nino fun times. Thanks.

After the summoning is done, since the contents of the orbs is already decided when you first press summon. The counter won't reset if one of the orbs was a 5* but you didn't open it or anything like that though.

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

No Marth or Lucina, so how's Chrom? I think I have one with +def/-res so he's looks to be a pretty strong tank. All dragons hit res, no? What's the point of a defense heavy Falchion user?
His atk is still sky high for a sword user and he spurs defense which is something you typically only get from Robin. He hits really hard but you don't want to bait with him cause everyone will double him. You'll want to use him on an alpha strike team so your team building is a little tougher. The best alpha teams I enjoy are like FemCorrin and Nino/Tharja buff teams, and neither of those really benefit from Chrom. He can certainly ring though and be competent.

Did I grind up a good squad, FE nerds? I'm a bit bummed I didn't get to go through the entire campaign with Roy, because he was my first 5*.

Team Roy's Boys is currently on hiatus.

F Corrin teams are best when you set up big initiations and kill as many enemies in one turn as possible. Neutral nukes are good in that setup since they have consistently high damage output, so if you lack a good neutral nuke, make sure you have good type coverage with at least one big damage threat like a Nino/Tharja/Linde/Julia.

Lucina's probably better than Leo but you have so many good options to build a team you're going to have a hard time going wrong.

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

So I'm currently running 5* Robin, 5* Camilla, 4* Cain, and 4* Catria. I'm really happy with Robin and Camilla, but I think I could probably swap out Cat and Cain for something better. Here are my 4* units and some 3* who looked like they might have cool skills I dunno.

4*
Roy
Lon Qu
Draug
Tharja
Gwndolyn
Effie
Nowi
Lady Corrin
Sheena
Serra
Azama

Notable 3*
Olivia
Hana
Selena

Any advice?

Nah, Nino's faster but not fast enough to double anyone relevant, and unlike Julia she can't do much to YTiki. If you have the right support units Nino can outperform Julia, but since that team involves Azura and Eirika most people won't have it. The rule of thumb is that if you have 2 or fewer stat buffs Julia is better and if you have three or more Nino is.

As other people have said, Fae on her own beats Hector as long as Hector attacks her and not the other way around. Just using your 5* units gives you a pretty great team to be honest.

-Spd is probably the worst IV since it simultaneously hurts you offensively and defensively in a significant way. Figures both my Lucina and Takumi would be -Spd :negative:

That's what I have on my Tiki. She gets doubled by Takumi so I never use her fight him. She also can't double attack Hector, but he does something like 8 damage to her so it doesn't matter. There's been at least 1 time where the speed didn't matter, but the extra hp kept her from dying. It's not the best, but it isn't a game breaker for her. I don't think Tiki's nature really affects how she functions too much.

Martyr at least theoretically heals the caster too, Physic's so bad that Mend outperforms it.
