Julia is the best counter to the best unit in the game and is otherwise very good. And Lucina is pretty ok.

With Green Tomebreaker, she also wrecks Nino and Cecilia who are also frequently-used meta units.

It would have been harder with more Panic Ploy and if Clarisse didn't faff about repositioning herself over and over, IMO. But yeah, my Cav team melted them with, of all units, Leo being the MVP.

Between Julia and Reinhardt's abilities to OHKO most enemies, I just needed Azura and Olivia to dance them into safety. The only tricky part was the ninja with the absurdly high stars who required a melee unit to weak him enough for Reinhardt to finish him off.

Don't have a *5 Xander, but my -DEF Ike was tanky enough to basically solo Clarisse Infernal (minus the blue mage). Ike, some buffs, a defense tile and lots of Aether. Watching everyone kill themselves on Ike while he keeps healing himself is nice, it's like playing Path of Radiance again.

Weissritter posted:

To expand on what others have said, Reinhardt and Hector are almost universally regarded as being the best characters in the game, as the best offensive and defensive units respectively.

Reinhardt has a unique weapon that allows him two attacks before the enemy can respond, and he hits the weaker of the two defensive stats. He also rides a horse, giving him incredible range.

Hector has a skill that means he can counterattack at any range, and a unique weapon that lets him do so twice regardless of relative speeds. He's theoretically weak to mages, but in practice he beats them into paste before they get the second hit in.

Julia, depending on build, can beat both of them. She doesn't have their adaptability, but she can counter pretty much any non-red threat in the metagame.

Welp, Clarine lost, so I joined Team Priscilla. My Priscilla is lv 1. At least I seem to have at least two people on my friend list on the same team. Thus far I've been handed a lv 40 Azura and Saizo to stomp all over the lv 1 scrubs. It's pretty funny.

Free orbs aren't guaranteed. They seem to be sent out based on a whim. Sometimes you get 10 orbs, sometimes you get 100 feathers.

After using peoples Kagero in the voting gauntlet I really want a Kagero. Not enough to pull colorless yet though.

I'm pretty casual but actually have an Eirika and Nino I am building up. What makes them so good? Eirika seems like an okay buff char and Nino could be a glass cannon I guess?
What skills should I give them, esp Nino since I don't really have many mages that are usable yet?

Nino is fast and has a blade tome, which gives you bonus damage equal to your stat buffs. Eirika (and Ephraim) have the best capacity for buffs due to their unique weapons. Those two plus a blue (or red with Ephraim) dancer form one of the most potent arena cores and is just a really strong set-up in general.

They like to turn them off periodically to encourage people to buy Orbs instead. They usually bring them back after a time.

The longest drought was something stupid like 10 days or something. That sucked.

What makes them good is you put them together. Nino's tome gives a flat bonus to damage with every buff she gets. So, +4 speed from Eirika's C skill gives her +4 damage. The +3 Atk from Eirika's weapon becomes +6 Atk, etc.

You attach them at the hip, throw in a dancer. Have Nino nuke something, then have the dancer either give her another turn to nuke something else, or she can use her support skill, Draw Back, to get both herself and the dancer out of the danger zone.

For skills, the standard is Fury for the A slot (you can also use Darting Blow if your Nino isn't +spd), and Desperation for the B. For her special, she'll want Moonbow, as -blade tomes make specials take longer to charge up and Moonbow charges the fastest.

Unless you sacrifice a Hector to her, Effie isn't that great.


Also, those tier lists are bad (and pretty pointless anyway)

The tier list is only good as a reference for who's good right out of the box without putting any effort into them. You can make any character with a decent statline work, and the only ones that are really bad are the ones that have a both a bad statline and a bad skillset.

This. Enough whaling can make almost any unit functional, but the tier lists are useful for figuring out which units are the easiest to build.

Eirika isn't just "okay" she's the best buff character in the game. With her sword, Hone Speed, Rally Defense and the Res seal, she can buff up every stat all by her lonesome. Unlike her brother (who will get wrecked by green units), Eirika can take care of the things that are most likely to threaten Nino: sword lords, green tome users with Green Tome breaker, Hector. I highly recommend Swordbreaker and even Distant Counter if you ever have a Hector to spare (if not, Triangle Adept). If you're lucky enough to get you hands on an Azura, congrats you have one of the consistently best teams for every part of this game. Just make sure whoever ends up being the 4th member has Drawback or Reposition. You'll thank me when you get to the high Arena tiers.

They aren't useful for even that. Look at the posted tier list where Reinhardt is the third tier while being really easy to build and one of the strongest units in the game.

The inheritance tier list on the same same site on the other hand assumes you have infinite of every skill and unit and judges from there (and questionably at that). It's loving useless.

Folks poo poo on Sophia a lot because of her trash-tier speed, but this and her decent attack stat sure as hell make her a lot more appealing as a unit than characters like Caeda or Odin.

I'm also just imagining an alternate universe where she can inherit Wary Fighter and define the meta. :allears:
