Lol the tragicomic Peri pull from the previous Tempest Trials banner that reset my 4% chance at whaling for Nowi is suddenly useful... I'm thinking about using a Reinhardt, Ryoma, Peri, and Julia team. This set up could actually get me an arena score high enough for Tier 20 for the first time ever. Any ideas on building Peri? I'm thinking that I might just want her to be a buffing / healing / repositioning machine, but her attack is monstreous enough that I could be convinced to go a different route.

I finally have a pull worthy to post!  My joy is slightly tempered by minus Attack on Sanaki and minus Speed on Ninian though.

I just got a Summer Frederick, who should be more useful in arena than the 4* Sakura I was gonna use. Whee!

Just stick him next to the others and make them better. Or be like me and run a Xander/Cecilia/Reinhardt Arena core and just have Alfonse hide in the corner. I could bring Gunter instead but my last 4* one went to Reinhardt to give him Hone Cavalry.

And unlike other swordlords he's a regular bonus unit, so SI'ing him is hardly a waste. e: Even with his default weapon, slapping a Swordbreaker on him already makes him a usable unit since that's +12 damage with his native Death Blow. Reciprocal Aid can also reliably get him under 50% for that +5 Atk boost, so he can get into OHKO range of more green units and some frailer red/colorless ones. blizzardvizard fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Jul 4, 2017 |

Supercar Gautier posted:I just got a Summer Frederick, who should be more useful in arena than the 4* Sakura I was gonna use. Whee! Eh, debatable. Throw Rehabilitate onto Sakura and she's a perfectly fine support to a good three-man core. Freddy's not a terrible unit, but debuffers aren't that great in Arena now. He's got enough ATK that he can do some serious damage, but 'physically bulky slowish ranged unit' has never been that great outside of MRobin.

I finally broke my 4.5% pity rate... and I did it by getting frustrated and pulling red. Sanaki, +def, -spd. From what I can tell she doesn't care about either of those stats one way or another so I guess I'll just give her red tomebreaker, use her as Lilina but better, and just be glad that that hideous pity rate is gone and can't tempt me anymore.

So the math checks out that the difference between a 40% unit and a 20% is like maybe 10 runs. So don't pull on this lackluster tempest banner.

I'm assuming we are talking about hypothetically getting a perfect run on the lunatic 7 round difficulty? Anyways, assuming an average of ~15 minutes per run, that's still 150 minutes of our lives that we will never get back. I can agree that spending orbs is not worth it, but ugh this grind.

Summer Fred is at least pulling his weight in arena, letting other units get easier kills thanks to hitting every stat.

Used the free orbs to do a second Summer banner pull. Didn't get any of the limited units, but oh hey it's a +Atk/-Res Hinoka. Considering I already have a +Atk Cordelia, (Albeit a 4* one.) a bunch of 5* and 4* Pallas and a 5* Caeda, I think it's time to feed Bunmilla a Nino. Sadly I don't have any Death Blow sources for Hinoka and Cordelia, and I still haven't gotten another Hinata, so no Fury for Bunmilla either.

Both death blow and darting blow work well for Bunilla too. Legion has fury 2 at 4* if you are willing to settle. I'm running Darting blow and even without a speed nature she can double pretty well in flier emblem. With just hone fliers she will have 37 speed and 41 with a goad. It helps her get the kill on targets she can't OHKO otherwise. Andrast fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jul 4, 2017 |

I didn't realize it for a while, but there is a pattern for the free "hero battle" units that overlaps with the default Askr units: 1. Alfonse / Sophia / Gunter 2. Sharena / Virion / Cecilia 3. Anna / Hana / Felicia 4. Alfonse / Subaki / Wrys 5. Sharena / Donnel / Olivia 6. Anna / Lissa / Stahl It's unfortunate that Sharena overlaps with Cecilia & Olivia, I wish she was offset by one. korben fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Jul 4, 2017 |

So if I promote Gunter or Sofia I never need to use Alfonse since I already have a 5* Subaki? Sounds great.

The only skill I tend to settle for a rank 2 instead of 3 is Quick Riposte. That said, Darting Blow is a great idea until the game decides to give me more Hinatas. Glad I kept my Florina spares.

So I wanna build flier emblem, but I don't have hinoka so there's no hone fliers. I've got cordelia, Camilla, and caeda at 5* and in 4* I have cherche, catria, and Subaru as worthwhile ones. Any ideas?
