I'm probably gonna promote Xander next, I keep getting one via my friends list in the voting gauntlet and I've been impressed

He's a red tank with distant counter and moves 3 spaces. Yes. Run a WoM3 dancer with him and a glass cannon and laugh

Plaguing your posts with incidental music.
Between Xander, Hector, and Ike, I am thinking of setting up a gimmick distant counter team. It's probably not a great idea but I think it would be a funny one.

I was busy helping Robin win (as is proper), is Tharja following in Camilla's boobsteps or did Linde put up a fight?

She was half a billion behind half an hour ago (but still "same" according to the game), so I think Tharja still won

All she needs is bonfire and wary fighter. I mean distant counter would be her best A skill but Hector is better than her so you'd only do that if you had a really bad Hector or far too many Hectors.

Ok, I'm curious. What are you doing with her?

Well, I started with the standard M!Robin-But-Green kit: Gronnraven+/[Movement Support]/Ignis/Triangle Adept/G Tomebreaker/[Flexible C-Slot Buff]. And that actually works pretty well! Considering a lot of the often-seen Arena units are blue (or were at the time), and Takumi was still a thing, she was actually really useful-- and the B skill can be changed to any 'breaker and work well, so I'm slowly collecting those.

Now that Horse Emblem is a thing, her actual tome Gronnwolf is also a perfect match. Reinhardt who? Robin don't care because B Tomebreaker (her other natural skill) is right there as well. That's my current project-- I'm considering 5-starring her to get Gronnwolf+, but I'm also kind of dragging my feet on it because I hate spending 20,000 feathers on anyone and having to build them back up again.

I'm always just kind of compiling ideas, too-- whenever someone posts a build I read it and take notes if it sounds like an interesting thing to try. The general consensus seems to be that she's a jack of all trades, master of none, so I think my goal right now is to have her be the flexible one in my team as much as possible-- if colorless units make a comeback in the meta, there's Gronnraven. If Horse Emblem keeps getting big, Gronnwolf. I'm curious about the new Gronnowl tome and Boey's defense-boosting skill. That might open up some new possibility, but I'm not strategically-minded enough to know what it is yet.

Basically I dunno, I want her to decently match whatever threats come up. She's no Nino, but she holds her own with the right skills. Gronnrobin for lyfe.

She already has decent defence stats. Fury might be enough to push her so she can actually kill stuff + increase her bulk more. Carrot Axe might be enough to negate the hp loss?

also to the goon that wanted to give wrathful staff with the ATK+ Azama. I literally recommend any other healer than Azama since he has the lowest attk stat of all healers.

Sheena deals damage with bonfire (or Ignis), not attack damage. Getting rid of the killer axe is a massive downgrade for her.

The damage from fury adds up really fast.

If you're going with her innate B. Tomebreaker, Gronnwolf is a trap: Gronnraven+, Triangle Adept 3, and innate B. Tomebreaker deals with any Reinhardt that appears and any HP sacrifice/swap skills should get her back on her feet.

Well, that was "fun".

Got an all blue team in the heroes arena. And I got an opponent with Titania.

I've had bad hands before, but I think having every single unit I got unable to do 1 damage to the enemy is a bit of a highwater mark. Can't even build meter.

After the initial starting "same" vote count, Tharja had triple Julia's score. Not a good sign. Honestly, I don't want Julia to win. Not just because I'm on Tharja's team, but because Robin vs Julia will be a very boring final. Tharja vs Robin, on the other hand, might have either win.
