Thankee kindly.
I tried 11-12 once, since it's the last one I haven't completed.

I'm not sure it's worth the headache for me at this point.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
I don't really play this much anymore but I did a yolo 20 roll and got Shirtless Xander and now every time he attack he is humping his large Lilith plushie. Still this not any worse than his bunny costume.

Yeah, I was super excited to get Summer Corrin but now... I have (-atk) Hinoka, SCorrin at 5* and Cordelia, Michalis, and neutral-atk Cherche at less than 5*. The green ones are pretty mediocre/bad: Cherche seems good in arena and nowhere else - and would cost 60k feathers to get to that point - while Michalis is solid but merely "solid" is not something I'm going to spend 20k feathers on or inherit a 5* onto (as he's a tank, he could carry hone fliers). Hinoka is only better than mediocre because she has hone.

I wish SCorrin was red or green. I'd be using her already. If I had Palla, then I actually think I wouldn't mind having two blues (hinoka + Corrin) together.

The super secret secret way to build Cherche is to leave her at 4* and merge her into a perfect IV version 10 times, which admittedly costs ~20k feathers in easy to pay instalments. Since she needs an inherited weapon, there's no benefit to upgrading her to 5*.

SCorrin is a better BCamilla and at least one of them is essential to flier emblem

SXander has an insane skill

SElise is a slightly worse Nino

SLeo is there

I assume you mean the ones from the Nohrian Summer banner. FCorrin is really, really nice for Flier Emblem but a bit meh on regular teams. Xander has a great C skill but as a unit he isn't that good. Elise is good, but at this point we have so many green mages and Nino is still available at 3 stars. Leo seems kind of mediocre right now - his stats are similar to Julia's, but she has a much better weapon and green is a better color for a magic tank.

... that is if you're pulling based on how strong these units are. FCorrin is worth pulling for just for her artwork if you ask me, it's really pretty.

Yes, she needs her weapon. It also takes a while to get used to the fact that she's weirdly tanky and just not very good at killing things

Pretty much everyone but leo brings something big to the table
Xander has a bonkers skill
Corrin is one of two flying ranged units in the game and the only one currently available fro drawing
Elise makes raising all of those better green mages people keep mentioning easier with gtome valor, only available on her.

But green is a color with awful fodder and no units that I want to get, so I'm not going to pull it nearly enough times to make it even halfway to that point.

Yes but it works for the entire team (as long as they're infantry and have less hp than him).

And it stacks with Quickened Pulse.

not quite. Its at the start of every turn, not every map if its tooltip is to be believed.
Second it happens to all infantry units with lower health, not just the guy with it equipped

So if you stick it on the highest hp dude of an all infantry team you could charge everyone's special before engaging the enemy and obliterate them in moments.

You'd want that Firesweep lance on someone else even if he was good, it's way too good a weapon for the kind of unit Roderick is (a mediocre one)

Cordelia is probably the best unit to give the Firesweep Lance to because of her 35/35 offensive stat spread. Summer Robin is also pretty good with it. You need a lot of attack and speed on a unit if you want them to use the lance effectively because otherwise a Brave Lance build is stronger. Brave Lance might just be better in general, honestly, but the Firesweep Lance build is fun to use and it lets you get around Vantage. People loooove putting Vantage on everything in arena.

What units are good with the Wo Dao? Pulled a bad IV Karel to melt for his sword.

Red Swords I have at 5 stars are Alfonse, Eirika (+Atk -Res), Xander, Ryoma, Caeda (+Atk -Spd) and Hana (+Spd -Def, has a Brave build already). Would it be good for Caeda, or should I try to build a Wo Dao Hana?

Hmm, I'll save it then for a good pull. The only Palla I've ever gotten was the free, neutral IV one so probably not her.

Triangle adept would be good. She's going to have big problems killing anything without it (Honestly, she might have trouble killing people even with it).

-ATK Ninian has 32 ATK with Lightning Breath+ equipped.

Maybe if they ever release an easier way to get Water boost I could make her a pretty good Res tank, 42 HP is better than pretty much every nuke mage, and with 36 speed its hard to double her. Right now though I can burn my last spare Roy for TA, at least.
