Woo, just got my first unit to level 40! It's my 5* Abel. Now I can finally check what his stats are...

He is +atk and -speed. That... seems pretty good for a Brave weapon user? I guess now I can start working on that Nino-focused team in earnest. I already have Olivia and Sharena at 4*, and a 5* Eirika. I may or may not use that +speed -atk Nino I pulled earlier today. I just don't relish having to grind for the feathers to promote yet another of the same unit.

I'll be using Olivia instead of Azura because: 1)I don't even have Azura. 2) I hate her and wouldn't use her if I did have her.

Who are they? Since dragons faded in my arena ranges I am very happy with Ryoma. I have a god Ryoma though, +ATK/-Hp.

I also have a Ryoma (+atk/-res) as well as a Marth, Seliph and Erika.

I only got Ryoma today so I haven't played with him all that much but so far I'm happy with him. I also have Julia for dragons if I was ever worried about them. So it's not like I need Lucina, it's just that I would like her.

False enemy or true friend?
Would a cavalry squad somehow maybe work? I got a 5* Peri from drawing a little to try to get Eripham, and I got Jagen, Eliwood and a Gunther sitting around.

According to some guy on Reddit both goad cavalry and gunthers atk spede buff stack so you could get 60ish damage on a generic cav

Yeah, I usually leave Reinhardt or Camilla in that slot to help out my team. My +atk Reinhardt without having to worry about the silly arena stats system is beastly.

All right, just for you I put Nino in my first slot. I had Abel in there for the longest time, but that seemed to discourage people from challenging me in the Arena, so I had Eirika in there for awhile. Having Nino in that slot works fine too, whatever.

Abel has been chewing up the opposition for Team Lucina, btw. So many sword dudes. It's like an Abel buffet. :getin:

I'd personally go with F Corrin, but you'd have too much magical damage that way.

Yes but it's the leader of the squad you're currently on (e.g., it can be squad 2) while the leader your friends (and the arena) sees is squad 1.

I've been putting Reinhardt and Camilla on rotation in the squad 1 leader slot while Lucina is the squad 2 leader who I take into the gauntlet.

Sheena can take a beating but she's not going to do much killing

Is it better to roll on the princess banner or try for Sanaki on the other one? I already used a 5-pull to make the rates on the Sanaki banner so it's slightly weighted in my favor I guess.

When leveling, Sheena is good to stop people from eating your units if you can position her.

There's no actual incentive to help your teammates, you know. Victory is determined entirely by how many followers each team has, which is entirely out of your control, and the better everyone else on your team does the worse your relative ranking is. Frankly, there's a small incentive to hurt your teammates as much as possible.

Yep, I've been doing this. I have Nino as the leader in squad 1 and in Squad 2 I have Abel in the first slot to chew up all the sword people. Victory for Team Lucina!

Welcome to Moonside.

So does the nature of a unit stay the same when you move it up a rank, or does it reset like their stats? I just pulled a Nino, but it's the 3* version and I don't want to blow 22k feathers if it's a version of her that's not even good.
