My only two decent reds are Roy and Ryoma, neither of which can really stand up to being hit by these Camillas. I don't have any good red wizards.

Both Ryoma and Roy will destroy those Camillas. Roy even has triangle adept!

He gets one shot. It's almost impossible to get one in range where it can't hit him first.

A -RES Roy without Triangle Adept would require Bunilla to have an ATK of 86 to one shot Roy

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Even with maximum buffs I don't think Spring Camilla can actually one-shot Roy so I don't know what's going on on your side.

Anyway the way the gauntlet generates both teams you're gonna run into unfavorable matchups here and there so just tough it out I guess

My best guess at this point is that Nuebot pissed off some kind of vengeful wizard with very specific gaming related limitations.

Or possibly a mummy.

I did this to my BCamilla and yeah, she tears through everything as long as I don't let her get facetanked

My go-to team of her, +atk rein with deathblow, 5* xander, and WoM Azura is pretty funny

Fury or L&D is probably Linde's best A skill. Deathblow is best on a +spd Linde.

Much appreciated thanks! Think I'll give the fury build a whirl then to take full advantage of desperation.

And for some reason I keep going up against tons and tons of reds while getting tons and tons of greens and using my Hector. Thanks game it sure is fun not to be able to damage the opposing team at all. Think I'll have to switch over to linde now that I've got her leveled above 35.

As long as you pick an unpopular loser such that you get top 10k or so with minimal flags.

For example I'm rank 6500 on Merric after 200 flags during a bonus phase. Going any further would probably take another 200-400 but you're better off conserving for the final day.

Keep in mind this probably only gets you like ... an extra 1-2k of feathers, maybe 3k depending on how this bonus phase crap works out for the total rank at the end and if your unpopular loser team like actually wins at some point. That's compared to just picking the person who wins every single round and minimal flags to get some OKAY rank.

I think the best tactic is actually to spend heavily on the first two rounds, rankings in the finals are worth more but are also much more competitive since everyone is looking to dump their flags.

I don't think you need to spend that much. I've spent 400 flags and I'm still in the top 5k on team Tharja.

Merrics is surprisingly competitive. I was at 250 and ranked 8.5k this morning. I tossed in another 100 just to be safe and it only took me to 7.5k.

It can be educational, though. Turns out Hectors are surprisingly adept at removing Ryomas, for example!

Were all 400 of those when she was losing? I've only managed to catch it once when she was losing and spent 200 there, and I've spent 200 normally and now I'm rank 14k with a score of 114,130

I think so? It might have also been 500 flags instead of 400.

I've risen my Anna to 5*, because I mostly am pretty causal about this game and she is kicking rear end -- also because a speedy axe user is pretty much what I needed in the wake of Ike, the Ikening in my party. She's pretty badass. I'm also pondering to grab Sharena to 5* when the time is right and I have a bigger buffer of feathers.

You leave my desecration of wizard graves out of this.

I've started bringing Ryoma instead though. He sometimes kills them with vantage. Roy is no longer my boy. :negative:

EDIT: Okay I'm considering the wizard curse thing now. That's the third in a row match where the random assigned member of my party was a completely poo poo kagero that died instantly from being looked at by any other unit on the field.

Is the Kagero from your friends list? If so, you can always delete them if it's a problem. But the voting gauntlet doesn't penalize you for having 1 or 2 characters die, so you can always make useless characters bait and tank hits you don't want to take on your more helpful characters.

The allies I've been getting are Hector, Michaelis, Kagero, Ike, Spring Lucina, Julia, Azura, and another Tharja. The spring Lucina has been underwhelming but all the rest have been doing work. The only battle I lost was when I had triple red against triple blue.

Nah, it's usually a rando. My friends list is full of lucinas, Azuras and Effies.

They're all level 40 with no good skills. Or maybe the game is spitefully matching me with the same guy I keep rejecting over and over.

I'm wondering what to do with my feathers when this is over. I've got Reinhardt and Xander ready for the 5* treatment, in addition to fcorrin, sharena, nino and a bunch of other usual suspects. I've also got a couple of 3* Florinas I'd like to upgrade for darting blow and/or back alley cleric skill inheritance. I've got three freakin' 3* Pallas for moonbow.

... This won't even be done by the next gauntlet, will it?

Fcorrin, the shoeless dragon lady, not Frobin, the clueless book lady.

The Julia I've got is +spd, and I'm thinking of giving her darting blow. Is 36-37 spd in the terrifying range, or am I better off putting something else in her A slot?

I pulled an Alm off the fmage banner, and he seems pretty decent. Windsweep seems to be a pretty meh skill though, is it worth mulching a 4* Abel for swordbreaker?

As a side note, I've just realized that even I don't know why I'm putting so much effort into F!Robin. She (like all of the avatars) doesn't rank anywhere near my favorite characters, but here I am pouring skills and feathers on her like a crazy person.

What am I doing with my life?

I'd boost her attack before her speed (though Life and Death is good for both). Girl lives and dies by her OHKOs

e: for future reference, here's a good reference for speed. At 36 you're alright but you'll miss the double on a lot of stuff. At 37 it seems like a solid plan though
