tithin posted:I say Nowi, I mean Nino, because I'm tired. Ohhh. OK. That I can help with! My Nino is -atk/+spd which is hardly ideal but she gets the job done fine. You just have to stack her with enough buffs. Do you have Eirika? She can buff 3 stats at once with her sword, her native Hone Spd, and a Rally. I gave mine Triangle Adept and Moonbow and she can one-round Hectors. No Vantage shenanigans coming into play. As stated, Triangle Adept Olivia should not need a different weapon to handle Hectors. Between Triangle Adept and (again) Moonbow, she should be able to gank him no problem. If you give her a different weapon, a Brave Sword would be an especially bad idea, because with Hector you want to bait him, not initiate on him. If you bait him with a Brave Sword there's a chance he would double you. What I did with mine... which I admit is probably overkill, is a Ruby Sword+ (drew a 5* Hinata on that Triangle banner awhile back), Fury3 (from that same Hinata), and Moonbow. With that kit, she eats Hectors for breakfast.

Hammerstein posted:I need a second opinion if this is a giant waste or not: Personally, I have a +ATK/-SPD Sheena with Killer Axe+, Swap, Bonfire, Distant Defense 3, Wary Fighter, Fortify Armor and--if you have it--Quickened Pulse. I ran the stats and if you plant her on a defensive tile, the only thing that can kill her is Hana with Armorslayer+. Yeah, sacrificing a Celica kinda sucks, but you end up with a unit that either tanks every ranged unit worth a drat or forces your opponent to engage her in melee with a Bonfire on the Wary Fighter counter. You need specific stats and a lot of SI work, but she can put in some serious loving work.

Eirika already has really low attack and the -ATK makes it even worse. She has 23 base attack with it, which is like Odin tier. She is going to have trouble killing some greens, possibly even with Triangle adept.

5* Eirika is one of the few units that can be functional regardless of IVs. Her primary role is to buff blade tomes- primarly infantry (Nino, Tharja, Linde, Mae, etc). Swordbreaking SORD LORDS, Triangle Adepting Hector or Distant Countering Julia is icing. It's nice if you can do those things, but as long as she up the rear end of a blae tome user (sit down, Odin), you're using her right.Andrast posted:I also prefer +ATK nature over a +SPD nature on her because it fixes her low attack a lot. The only things you should be engaging in combat as Eirika are enemies you have triangle advantage on or a breaker skill to take advantage of, so speed really doesn't matter. Edit: well, doesn't matter as much. Being doubled still sucks. Roger Explosion fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Jul 6, 2017 |

-ATK Eirika with swordbreaker can lose to Ryoma depending on who initiates. Ryoma does the same damage to her with one hit that she does to him with two. -ATK is probably the only IV that really hurts Eirika's utility since it makes so much worse at the non-buffing part.

Roger Explosion posted:Perhaps in Infernal maps or Tempest Trials she'd have some trouble, but in the arena she's basically there to check anything that can threaten Nino. Rather than tanking Julia, Cecilia or other Ninos, she's just kills them outright. It also gives her something to do outside of sitting behind blade tome infantry. Albeit, I have a multi-merged +ATK/-DEF Eirika, but still, results are results. I wouldn't be sitting here in Tier 20 without her. Hmm. Once she's in Desperation Range, sure. I find it easier to just park Eirika in his range and let her go to town.

So I play this game via nox (since my Iphone was to old to play it), and the latest update seem incompatible with it. Anyone got any ideas to help me out here? Or do I give up on the game and take solace in the fact I will never whale on it again.
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

I managed the Infernal Bound Hero Battle with the horse team. Team Nino might have been able to do it, but even with full buffs my -atk Nino was leaving the green mage with 2 HP. There are occasions where I even notice that my Nino is -atk, and poo poo like that is one of them. The only time it matters is when I'm dealing with mega-inflated stats and defense tiles.

Ahaha.wav. Finally did the Infernal with a half skilled if fully levelled Julia, TriAd MRob, Azura and ArdSac Lucina. With many retries, skill/seal alternations and damage calculators, got Julia to one turn the Blue Mage, then finish off the weakened green Mage on her turn. This was by far the hardest part and I managed it with exact damage from buffs. Fully skilling Julia first might have been easier, but eh. Then pulled Julia back to kill the lancer with help from MRob and Lucy and that's where the AI gave me the win. Swordlord went in front of Emerald Axe on the left choke while Red Mage started heading around the right way to get Julia. Az waited for RM to clear the def tiles then wiped her, while MRob was walling SLord with TriAd with the Emerald Axer right behind SLord doing nothing. Lucy keeps MRob topped up from SLord's skill procs while I then took the time to slowly drain EmAxe with Julia blasting the SLord from behind MRob while the EmAxe drains his own HP keeping SLord alive. Eventually, when both enemies were very low, MRob steps to the side and nukes the SLord and Lucy oneshot the EmAxe. Took me like 4 Stamina Potions and is my second longest Infernal after Legion but at least it was done. The reward then pushed me to 20 orbs, where I got a Summer Tiki with +Spd -HP, which apparently is pretty good too so that worked out well.

I continue to suck at the Squad Assault. I have a lot of high-level dudes but I'm having trouble slotting them all into teams. I can get up to the penultimate (I think) battle, the one with the Awakening crew, but the AI is obnoxiously smart and doesn't let Frederick run out ahead of Chrom where I can bait him without taking a Falchion to the face. Nor can I bait Chrom without eating a hammer to the face. It's super obnoxious. I resorted to fielding loving Alfonse of all people because at least he can ostensibly handle axe losers. Nowi can handle Chrom, but neither of them can deal with Chrom and Freddie and I can't seem to separate them. Also I haven't even fielded the A-team yet because I want to save them for whatever bullshit the last map has for me. My Eirika could probably chump both Chrom and Freddie no problem but I might need her laaaaater.

Two ways of doing that map: get a healer (with rehab, natch) and a Xander/Hector/stronk tank and have some other throwaway (i use a level 1 hero) with draw back. That way you can pull the healer away from Xander if needed. Or bring 2 healers and a hero with draw back. The other way of doing that map is using a real team, and that seems wasteful.
