So "Use a team of axe users to clear [...]" means "use an axe user"?

You can't have any non-axe-users on your team, but you can have a team of 3 or fewer axe-users.

Well I'd still have to level up 2 really bad 3stars. So we'll see.

A single high level unit will clear the important missions just fine (the ones with orb rewards)

I've got Swords and Lances done, but Axes is causing me trouble. Still have both Seventh Stratum and 7-4 Lunatic left because I don't have a single axe user above 30. Highest is currently 27, and for 7-4 I'm probably going to want to be just about lvl 40. Fifth Stratum took two attempts because on the first attempt the singular enemy Red had loving Axebreaker.

Current lineup is:
5* lvl 27 Camilla
4* lvl 20 Camilla (pulled them both out of the same goddamn draw - on the current Sibling banner)
4* lvl 21 Anna
4* lvl 21 Raven

None of my others are remotely close in level, and the rest are all 3* or below as well (bar a 4* lvl 1 Beruka).

Did anything unlock when you completed a full page like all Swords? I haven't bothered to do the lunatic levels since those badge rewards are like whatever if you've been leveling enough poo poo in the towers.

No. The list has all the quests, no extra unlocks or anything.

Abel is a dang wrecking ball, so glad I rolled a 5*. I figured he must have had a Sapphire Lance or Triangle Adept the way people talked about him wrecking sword lords, but nope, just a no-downside Swordbreaker and great stats with a Brave Lance.

Arena Lunatic missions needs loving 80 wins for the first mission, and 40 for the second? What the hell? :psyduck:

I'd take a huge net loss of Dueling Crests for that insanity, so I think I'll just be happy with the first two mission levels, thanks.

I wish I ran into more Hectors because Tharja eats them up and if properly buffed oneshots them.

Just use a Light's Blessing if you're struggling with the Ch. 9 Lunatic missions, you probably have a bunch lying around and they're not really useful for anything else.

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

I treated 9.2 lunatic as a challenge to do it without a rez, but I had absolutely no problems with using one on 9.4 and 9.5 since you are clearly dealing with boss characters. Nearly had to use two Blessings on 9.5, it was really close at the end.

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
After getting 5* Sharena to combo with 4* Nino and a 5* Young Tiki and 5* Lucina, the 9-1 to 9-4 Lunatic missions were all very doable for me, although some were close. Haven't tried 9-5 yet.

But when I only ran Young Tiki, Lucina, Camilla and Est, they were impossible.

If you can eliminate Veronica early in 9-5L it becomes a cakewalk

This kinda goes for all varieties of 9-5 I guess

Offense:

Takumi, Azura, Robin, Roy/Marth is probably a solid foundation, consider upgrading Nino/Sharena when you can and going for a Nino/Azura/Sharena/Takumi meme team.

Defense:
Not sure for an overall team but all you really want is for one good team to stumble, and Takumi and a Dancer might throw their calculations out of whack enough to make that happen. Marth and Catria are also probably solid picks for you here, I want to say? E: actually replace Marth with Tharja probably, you want a way to beat Hector

Leveling 2 or 3*s to even level 20 in the training tower is laborious. They drop off so hard after level 15.

I dunno about 3 stars. Some of them are alright. (I still swear by three star Donnel pulling his weight), but lower stars? Yeah. That's what shards are for, because fighting with them is agony.

3* heroes with decent skills and weapons are fine, which is honestly most of them. There isn't really much difference between 3* and 4* for the purposes of leveling, barring specific exceptions that get killer weapons or skills at 4*. But you should definitely blow some feathers on 2* dudes because leveling them is painful, yeah.

Well, you can't Unlock Potential until level 20, so that's why I'm running the guys I might eventually rank up to level 20.

Olivia I didn't bother with. Crystals>Feathers>Crystals>Feathers>Crystals to level 20 at 4*. She wouldn't even learn dance until 3*.

When Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Judgral comes out they're gonna release gen 2 of Awakening, Fates, and Genealogy all together. The banner will be Seliph (again), Lucina (again), Shigure, and Morgan (M). Everyone you actually want will be 3* garbage

He gets 2-shot by average Lucina or Ryoma, which is kinda bad. Otherwise Hector could kill them in 3 hits by baiting a counter from full HP.
