I'm just hoping they're sporting some alternate weapons there; otherwise it's a banner of 3 reds and 1 green.

I have all those units except Xander, so unless they have pretty different skills and everything I guess i'm skipping this focus as well.

I'm guessing they'll be completely different units. Different stats, skills, and not necessarily even the same weapon types.

Wait, so we're getting bunny Xander before normal Xander? Go figure I guess.

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

QR works best on high attack, low speed heros. In isolation it seems like a decent B-slot for Eldigan, but it doesn't really mesh well with him having Fury. It's a pretty valuable skill, so I'd probably hold onto it until you get a good hero that it fits perfectly on.

Whew glad I asked then! Thank you for the run down. I'm slowly starting to get an incredibly rough idea of what might suit who a little better. Like it's prob a good idea to give my offensive dudes like eldigan and Minerva c slot skills that reduce enemy stats since they will be in close contact, while azura and lilina might be better off with buffs since they will be behind the lines and more in contact with just my units.

In hindsight it seems so obvious but yet it took me a good long while to think of it. Sorry I'm sure everyone is probably tired of answering the same holy poo poo how do I play this game questions over and over but I really appreciate your patience in answering!

I mean everyone who's already got a set team has nothing better to do right now than getting the perfect arena streak and slowly grinding SP and orbs from the training tower, so helping people with their team building is probably the most exciting thing to do right now.

Completely unrelated but my mission to make a good Eliwood for a cavalry team is doing alright, Darting blow 3 gives him 36 speed, that's passable! Mixed with 54 ATK from Durandal's deathblow that's a pretty solid striker there, especially with the crazy cavalry buffs you can stack.

Well, basically. It might not be worth replacing Darting Blow on her though, since she has less base Speed and unlike Nino already starts with a great A skill.

Right on. I definitely do appreciate the help.

So for a rough idea of builds I was going to go with

Eldigan : fury, unknown b skill, threaten attack, and prob Moonbow

Minerva: death blow, maybe wings of mercy, threaten speed and draconic aura

Azura: speed, sword breaker, hone attack not sure on the special

Lilina: maybe triangle Adept, unknown b, and prob spur or hone speed.

As you can see I don't know much about what b skills are worth inheriting, and I'm still torn about a few special attacks for lilina and azura. Also not sure about triangle Adept but it seemed like a not terrible fit for her. If anyone can give me their thoughts on what my plan is I promise I'll be your friend!

Eldigan's real drat slow, so Brash Assault (always make a followup attack when attacking someone who can counter when you're under 50% HP) is pretty good, and synergizes with Fury well too.

Brash assault it is then, at least now I know what to keep an eye out for thanks

Oh real quick. Luna is a pretty decent special for offensive guys like eldigan and Minerva yeah?

Fury. When you think A-skill you think Dart/Deathblow, Life and Death, and Fury. Brash Assault is such a niche B-skill I had to look it up and was unimpressed.

He isn't great, but I wouldn't dismiss him completely. He's got chunky defensive stats and high base attack, and he comes with deathblow preinstalled. He's near identical to Ephraim statwise, but with a less useful unique weapon. He also has the benefit of probably being a permanent fixture in the arena bonus hero rotation.

Yeah... I think the Ninian dream is dead. I even bought some orbs today, (not many, just the $20 pack- I am not whaling this game) and no dice.

Got yet another Effie, so I fed her to Abel for Death Blow. I do not need 3 Effies. Team of double Effies and guest characters Draug and Gwendolyn is levelling nicely! They might be able to attempt the 10th Stratum before hell freezes over!

Yeah absolutely, he suffers in comparison because there are other units that can perform his role better than him. But he should be able to fulfill his role capably if you really wanted to use him, as opposed to the many actually bad units in the game.
