Your best units are Abel and Effie, they may not add the most to your team though since both Nowi and Catria are good blues. If you want a red then your options are CorrinM, who has a high stat total, or Eliwood/Roy who are both pretty specialized antigreen units. Roy's a bit more durable and Eliwood hits a bit harder. If you want a green then Anna is better than what your box is showing in that picture, but you already have Hector.

Check you unit's stats before any 5* promotion, but just based on character alone:
- Effie. She's a powerhouse and negates the speed skill entirely. The best stats are -sp/+res or -spd/+atk, otherwise promote...
- Abel. Destroyer of SORD LORD worlds. If he's +atk or + spd, all the better.
- Robin. Only if Takumi is giving you grief.
- Anna. If you have a couple more thousand feathers to spare and you want a more mobile axe user, her 5* version is well worth the investment. Even moreso if you can put Fury and Ardent Sacrifice on her come skill inheritance.

Don't promote any of those red units. Wait until you pull something better.

Honestly, with that lineup I would probably just save my feathers. You already have good units in every role and none of your 4* units really stand out as something you really need.

I guess upgrading Effie would get you higher arena scores because of her high stats.

Effie or Robin, probably neither unless you want to chase arena scores. If you do then Effie. Robin is only if you are impatient and are having traffic jam problems and need range damage to help a bit.

Honestly though just sit and wait.

Idk why anyone would ever promote Abel outside of fandom. Sharena is a better overall blue upgrade.

How's that Lilina treating you?

Again, if you plan to pull in the future, there's also an Effie banner coming soon, so only promote Effie if you aren't planning on using more orbs on that banner.

I was leaning towards Effie, but if the 5 *'s I do have are good enough already maybe I should hold out. On the other hand, is there any 4* that I could get that I don't have that I would want to upgrade?

Not really, I think the best sword you could pull at 4* is Marth, and there are basically no greens or blues that you'd actually want that are going to come out of the gacha at less than 5*.

The build-around characters like Tharja/Nino can come at lower ranks.

We also don't know what the skill inheriting will be like so it's a good idea to save feathers until that has been released.

Just faced a 4 dragon team in the arena. Weird. Makes me wish i Had lucina instead of Seliph though, would've been a bit easier, though Klein means im on the track for an easy 3k for the max feathers.

Able has a brave lance+sword breaker. This means that if he initiates on a sword dude (which is much easier thanks to having a horse) he will hit them 4 times. No sword person can survive this. In my experience (with a 5* mind you) most seem to have trouble with withstanding 2 hits.

Shareena may have overall more utility, but for the express purpose of killing sword people Able is better.

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

You really don't need that much sword-killing power though. Sharena will kill the sword users just fine while also providing more utility.

Brave and Cav also means he's amazing at killing Archers and Mages(of all colors, though much better against Blue and Red but the only green mage ive seen is Nino who dies to a stiff breeze)
It also means he can easily take out Red dragons, and helps a lot with blue dragons and Effie.
Personally I think being able to kill any one of half the characters in the game without taking any damage in return is more utility than minor stat buffs.

Even a +ATK Abel can't oneshot a (neutral) Takumi, who is the only relevant archer.

I'd been having fun grinding Gwendolyn and her Team of Stupid Idiots (3x Draug) in preparation for that lunatic armor quest, but I just couldn't bear the thought of having to over-level them to handle the blue knight. Tried a Hail Mary pull on green and got Sheena. Thanks, RNG.

Despite how long it's taking to get them set, it is pretty fun to watch four of these guys trundling about the map.

As someone who has zero Armors I am mad at this post.
Though in retrospect I have a zillion cavalry and at least two of the flying units with Flyer specific buffs.

Bummer. Looking at my list of dudes I realize Roy is still my best red unit and inexplicably I have like twice as many blue and green units as I do reds. I think the game is loving with me. At least I have Nino. I should 5* her eventually.

I did it with three level 1s and Hector; used a Light's Blessing so they'd all be alive at the end.

Using them with the right character gives 11k per 100 instead of 10K.

I'm blowing all mine on this second round tie, as hopefully most people wasted theirs on the first round, and the final will have everyone mashed up together, so it's the best chance of a good ranking and my boy Ephraim needs help.
