Why Draconic Aura and not Luna? They have the same charge speed. Also here to report that my only swordbreaker units are my 5* Abel (who is amazing and i am never getting rid of him) and Ike (and the Eirika I have mentioned before). So, uh, gonna have to wait a while on that project it seems.
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

For what it's worth, Swordbreaker took my Sharena from "has trouble fighting sword lords" to "eats sword lords for breakfast." Seriously. Lucina used to be a problem for her. Not anymore!

How is this relevant to the fact that Draconic Aura and Luna have the exact same charge rate? This doesn't explain why you would choose Draconic Aura over Luna, since charge rate is irrelevant in this comparison since they are identical.

So what's the best assist skill and C skill for Xander? I gave him swap from Subaki. Maybe either threaten defence/attack? Already got Hone Calvary on Stahl.

I've got a 4* Reinhardt, 3* Ursula and Cecilia, and three Gunters to mulch eventually. What skills/which characters should I be on the lookout for to eventually build a decent Horse Emblem team?

I do the spd+3/sword breaker build too for Sharena. I'd do something more with her A slot but I leveled Sharena way before SI came in so she ended up very short on SP. I like spd+3 just cause it lets her tank some stuff.

This doesn't explain why you would choose Draconic Aura over Luna, since charge rate is irrelevant in this comparison since they are identical. Draconic Aura is a flat damage increase. Luna's value scales depending on your opponent's DEF. On units with high enough ATK, Draconic Aura wins or evens out unless your opponent has very high DEF. That makes DA more consistent.

Swordbreaker sharena was on my core for a long time, she's real good Final arena score is 4820. Hopefully that's enough for tier 18. After this I'll have one more difficult week trying not to derank and then hopefully it'll be smooth sailing once the whales sort into tiers 19 and 20 and some lower scorers come up into 18. I just want to stay in a 4 orb tier.

I wish the game would explain better how defense works. My defense team has: - Nino +1 (Fury,Desperation) - Azura (new moon, WoM2) - Kagero (reposition, death blow 3) - Roy (i don't care, an assortment of mediocrity) And yet I'm at 0 points. Did nobody pick me? Did my team lose against a bunch of horse emblems? I have no idea, and there's no way to know.

Currently looking through my listing of characters, since I'm 1 below the cap and looking to get rid of a bunch, and decided to look at my FIVE Pallas since I want to move WoM onto some of my dancers and/or mages - and thus want to figure out which one to keep. Again, 5 Pallas. Aaand their natures are... - 2 Neutral - +HP/-ATK - +SPD/-ATK - +DEF/-ATK The only ones that weren't (probable) reward ones are all loving -ATK. Are you goddamn serious?

Horse emblem seems strong but how does it fare in the arena? Don't cav units (the cav mages anyway) typically have low BSTs so unless you have a LOT of merges, your score will suffer?

Depending on the number of dueling crests I'm willing to spend I can get a full 10 points over my minimum score every match so I think outside of the true top of the top, you can get the rank you want if you're willing to surrender low scores.

Eh, based on that Arena scoring breakdown, seems like my best bet is just promoting more units to merge with my core of Nino, Reinhardt, and Eirika to score higher In two weeks, the Askr bonus unit should be Sharena right? I can get a Nino+1 and then probably have enough to promote Alfonse to 5* by the time he comes back in like 5 weeks

Oh, thanks! That's good to know. So many skills seem like they would be nice but then I realize maxing them would mean spending 20k feathers on a unit just to feed it to another unit. I take it that applies to lancebreaker, axebreaker, too? And with the talk of blade tomes being acceptable at less than max, does that suggest it may be worth having Linde eat my Odin for a less than max blarblade? I hesitate there, since she doesn't get huge horse emblem stat buffs. Do we want max level Ruby, Sapphire, etc. weapons? I'm tempted to put a non-plus ruby sword on my Olivia because she's so weak, but I can't see that giving her a big enough bonus over her silver sword in the unlikely event that I 5* her one day.

well i'm up to 22k feathers and now i'm staring at anna, sharena and zephiel wondering which one i should 5* given that all my good units are armored but i don't have anywhere near the resources to run actual Armor Emblem e: like, i don't think 5* zephiel is even worth it without him also eating a hector for distant counter, and i still can't decide is -atk/+spd or -atk/+def hector is better because both have purposes they serve better zephiel, hector and effie would also all need to eat people with better specials too, since their defaults are awful ungulateman fucked around with this message at 01:14 on May 23, 2017 |

I got a +def/-hp Fcorrin, is she worth using? Also, is there any kind of goonwiki for this game? Would be useful to get general goon consensus on what units are worth, what skills they like, what team comps they work with, etc. The official wiki has a tier list, but Reinhardt isn't even in the top two tiers so I'm hesitant to believe it's validity.

If you merge a +1 unit into a base unit, do you end up with a +1 or +2 unit?
