Make a team of BCordelia, SCorrin, SCamilia, and STiki to make other motherfuckers jealous of your luck/wallet.

Once i got my defense for the season i put up SCorrin, STiki, SXander, and SFrederick for summer fun. And probably some laughs.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Now that I'm checking my roster, I'm...kinda confused what happened to my second reinhardt. one of which was a -atk before I merged it with my +atk.

It's just...gone. My only one has stats of a regular 5* 40.

Did you merge before or after promoting the 4* +ATK Reinhardt to 5*?

I was on vacation and used that as an excuse to throw way more orbs into the new banner than I should have, and while my pity rate kept getting reset, at least I got some decent stuff: a solid Lukas, my first Hector, a Ninian to throw on the pile, and finally Xander, whose IVs were something bad but idgaf because he's hilarious. I still keep dragging Spring Xander out all the time just for my own amusement, so now I can have double the fun.

I then got it into my head that I needed Leo to complete the set of swimsuit boys or something and whaled on red, finally ending up with Katarina, which is almost certainly a better result, but what really annoys me is that in all the reds I pulled I didn't get a single Hinata.

I'm almost certainly gonna keep pulling on this banner until I get one of the swimsuits, just so I can have one character from every limited edition banner. I'm not particularly thirsty for any particular one though so even if I get tomato boy I'll be satisfied

I would also like to know this. Even a deathless run with Xander, Camus, Cecilia, and Reinhardt puts me at about 1,000 ranks short of moving to Tier 20.

I promoted the +atk rein to 5 then merged the -atk into him. the -atk was level 40 while the +atk was 1 if that makes any difference...?

You would have had to promote both to +5 if you wanted to have a +1 5*. The way you did it you just gave your 5* 40 SP.

Excellent question! I have no idea. My score is 4802, and my team is:

5*Xander: Siggy, Fury 2, QR2, Fortify Cavalry, ATK+1, Swap, Bonfire
5*Camus: Grady, Fury 3, Vantage 3, Goad Cavalry, SPD+1, Draw Back, Bonfire
4*+9 Cecilia: Gronnblade, Darting Blow 3, G Tomebreaker 3, Fortify Cavalry, BoL1, Draw Back, Iceberg
5* Elise: Fear, HP+5, Live to Serve 3, Hone Cavalry, HP+3, Recover, Imbue

At time of writing I'm still 700~ above dropping down, with one hour to go.

e: If I had to guess, Cecilia is inflating my score

4* +9 Cecilia is like a 5* +4 Cecilia. That's definitely bumping up your score.

That's probably it. My dudes have almost the exact same skills yours do and I have Reinhardt instead of Elise, but my Cecilia is just a vanilla 5*. "grats on Tier 20!

Should be Anna, Alphonse was up before Sharena.

vvv I wouldn't bother spending the feathers on one that isn't +atk but that's me. +spd isn't bad, but it takes more SI to catch up.

Should I 5* the kagero?

There are two big titted bikini dragons available atm you'll have to be more specific

Kagero is really good except when she isn't. She still crushes infantry effortlessly (except for the occasional raven tome) but the infantry dominance in arena has been fading for months. In PvE content she's sometimes insane and sometimes worthless, but you can at least plan around it and only use her when she's good.

That Tiki will be very good at loving up melee blues and pretty good against other colors of melee enemies (assuming close defense and quick riposte). Not a good arena niche atm but pretty good in pve

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
-HP Tiki can go into Vantage range after a single round of combat if she has Fury 3 and Melon Crusher+, which is a cute niche

the downside is that she's still fairly slow and her decent defensive stats don't quite offset being at 24 hp

The match-selection interface we saw a glimpse of looked identical so I suspect it does

Still, there's plenty of ways to improve your power faster than the enemy power increases--things like replacing Minerva's default special with a real one, promoting my Reinhardt, etc. Even setting that aside, I'd like a decent score which means embarking on some inheritance.

At the very least we have the swimsuits, Anna, Hana, Wrys. Berkut will probably be in there too. So that leaves two units left from the random pool.

Huh. I can use MRobin or Hana here.

Robin is a bit more developed for me, he's got loads of skills and plenty of SP to share. Problem is that... well he's just not really good in the arena right now. I can't really think of anyone popular he beats other than Bridelia and Summer Leo.

Hana might need a bit more SP, but at least she'll destroy Hector and comes pre-equipped with Rally Attack.
