I think this is adaptable to almost anyone's situation. The only character that's not freely available is the 3* Subaki but I think a number of strong tanky characters could substitute in that position.

lol at subaki being so tanky

Didn't expect that

Still, it's nice to see that the fight can be done even by F2P players without needing to get lucky or whale hard for 5* super units from the gacha.

Just remember that he loses health every time you go to smack someone in the face and also lose health for the inverse. But it's all good for that +3 to all stats.

Non meta heroes are great and usually do just fine in arena as well due to a large portion of the playerbase having no idea how to deal with them

Considering it also raises your defenses by 3, and that Hinata is slow enough to be doubled by most relevant things, its net damage is 0. Well, unless you'd otherwise be taking 0 damage, but in that case what does it even matter? It also can't kill you, unlike normal battle damage, so Fury is basically just awesome for anyone who can use it.

As long as their defense is around 30 and they're not infantry it should work with quite a few people, I just did it with Cain.

Thankee kindly.
I've got a 5* Subaki and he's actually pretty solid even as a team player thanks to Swap. It helps that mine is +ATK, but even without he snaps most red units in half and goes toe to toe with most Lance units not named Effie pretty well thanks to his bulk and speed.

I can just move Hector in and have him counterkill the thieves, heal as necessary with Physic.

Need some team building tips!! My team is Lucina, Elise and Nino, all 5*. Who would be better for the fourth slot, 5* Ephraim or 4* Effie? I've heard great things about Effie but the 1 movement is just such a pain...

Ephraim for buffing Nino would be nice. You have no buffs for her otherwise, not counting Elise's every-other-turn-at-best thing.

Here are my 5*s. Who should I promote next? My options are:

Sharena
Anna
Another Effie because my current 5* one is -Atk/+Spd and the 4* one is +Def/-Res
Sheena +Spd/-Def
Kagero, one is -Atk/+Res and the other is +Spd/-Def
Robin M, one is -Atk/+Spd and the other is -Spd/+Res

Ran into a team that had TWO Takumis.

I had a team with no takumi counters for a week because banners (Ephraim, eirika, young tiki, 4 star Odin) and I found I could take him out relatively painlessly with good positioning. Basically Ephraim or eirika would run up and whack him, get hit once back, and then Odin could come in and finish him off.

I actually ran into a team with 3 takumis and a Hector once. I don't remember what I did exactly, but I remember winning.

My Abel can smash his face, sometimes. Sometimes he doesn't do enough damage on the two Brave Lance hits and gets creamed.

With buffs from Eirika and Olivia, my Nino can one-shot him sometimes!

So... basically you gotta one-shot him if you can't survive the counterattack. Brave Weapons are your friend for that.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
Hinata would be a beast if he had a real weapon and Bonfire to use with that defense. But unless it's a axe unit, he's going to be doing zero damage to everyone and killing himself with Fury.

You're really unlucky. The chance for any individual orb to be a 5* is about 6%, so you should have 4 or 5.

Are each of your pulls from a separate banner or something? Every time you whiff a 5*, your chance of pulling one on your subsequent separate pull are increased.
