I guess I'll sit on my orbs because I already have plenty of reds and 5* Sharena. I kinda want Leo because he seems really fun, but it's not really worth braving the odds for one dude.

Leo might have seemed good in a pre- Olwen and Reinhardt era.

:shrug: I don't care enough about PVP to bother unless they add in different rewards. But like, I can have Hector right next to Takumi, smashing his face in. And he'll just start hiking down south to try and shoot at Nino who will also kill him on retaliation.

For this to have happened, that means Takumi had to have shot someone other than Hector the turn before. It honestly sounds more like bad positioning and not understanding how the ai works. This isn't just a PvP thing, the ai works the same in all content of the game. The only way to make the ai attack the units you want it to attack is by having only that unit in the ai's threat zone. You're going to have the same problems with Takumi using Robin, because Robin can't kill an uninjured Takumi in 1 attack. So if you leave other units in range for Takumi to attack, he's going to attack everyone that isn't Robin.

Gotta agree with this. Rolled in hopes of a lucina duplicate or an Eirika to no avail. Picked up 4Tharja and a 3Henry so not a total loss, but yeah I feel oversaturated in reds as it is

If I had 40k feathers, yes, because I could run Nino/Sharena.

Wait, if I upgrade Nino and keep Sharena at 4* then I could still run the two together.

Is an Olivia/Nino/Sharena combo possible where you use Fortify Attack/Fortify Defense/Rally Attack to make Nino a tactical nuke?

Fortify attack and Rally attack don't stack but otherwise yes. I'v been playing with that lineup with Nino swapped for Tharja and it works really well.

wish Lowtax would get tired of YOUR POSTS

(n o i c e)
the best way to maximize is to back teams with low members and then switch to the obvious winner endgame, so probably Alfonse > Eirika > Lucina

Unfortunately, you can't change teams unless your team lose so :(

Reinhardt suffers a OHKO to Takumi: 46 ATK - 27 DEF = 19 DMG x 2 because his speed is garbage. Average Reinhardt HP is 38.

Olwen also suffers the same fate, 46 ATK - 20 DEF = 26 DMG x2 because her speed is garbage.

This wouldn't be a problem on maps which are just straight plains because they've got 3 movement, but because they get ratfucked by forest movement this is a big concern.

You're also losing average stats on Robin because you're running Brave weaponry, I believe those two sit at 150 or so and Robin sits at 160.

So far I've only had one bad match up that I still won by using a Light's Blessing. Not sure why they didn't ban those when they're banned in Arena, but it's not like I had a better use for it.

Also, just finished a match where the enemy team was Lucina, Tiki and Eirika vs. my team of Eirika, M. Robin and Julia. Wasn't expecting to see someone on the opposite team running Eirika.

It's mainly the Olivia Synergy since Olivia boosts Cordy's attack and is on a different weapon type.

Don't know if unequipping Triangle master is a good idea though since why would you ever send Cordelia at a green enemy?

So, I had saved up a whole bunch of orbs (over 100), used them on the princess banner in hope for lucina, and after pretty much running dry, I finally got a 5*... Ogma. I mean, at least I got Gwendolen so I can do the armour quest now, thats something, but you would not believe how mad Ogma's face made me. I don't suppose anyone here can say if a 5* Ogma is any good or not? I already have a +Def Lyn who fulfills most of my sword needs, but I guess a guy with a Brave sword+ could have their use?

Man, I'm still just really pissed off I used all those orbs only to end up with loving Ogma rather than Lucina or even Eirika. I am officially only going to spend my orbs when there's a green focus now, since I already have decent 5* for red and blue, and not even Lucina is worth the frustration at instead getting a boring sword man, when I already have a decent sword user. So mad at how dumb of an idea fishing for an "upgrade" to my sword girl turned out to be.

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

I guess I've ran into situations where she really needed to do at least a little damage to a green but couldn't. But yeah I guess you are right it should almost always be avoidable

Did a few rolls, finally saw some blue orbs (4 of them)... 3 of them were Subaki - two 3*s and a 4* (final was a 3* Shanna, who I also have). Seriously, gently caress this bullshit. Full pulled one of the double blue draws out of frustration and got a 5* Eldigan. Yay?

I also got a 4* Nino from the banner, but she's +speed -atk. The one I already have, who I already feathered up to 5* is +atk -HP, probably better. (Plus I already spent the feathers so screw that!)

It's pretty fun getting to use characters I'd otherwise never get to try in the gauntlet. I'm not really concerned about winning every single one because there's enough flags from the missions to use 100 per round and that should be more than enough to get a rank.

Only one I know with it is Selena. Mine isn't good for much else (her Attack is terrible, just 18 at 4* 21) so I'll probably have her pass it on.

e: turns out she also has a -Atk nature so when it is skill transfer time she is Gone
