Thankee kindly.
Had to do some skill inheritance but got Infernal done with Flier Emblem. Sacrificed a Michalis for it too. Oh well, I'm sure Hinoka will find another use for Iote's Shield at some point.

Just wanted to confirm this before doing it:

I have an old +spd Reinhardt with full SI (db3, draconic aura, repos, etc)
I also have a new +atk Reinhardt but with no SI

If I merge my old into my new I still keep all the SI poo poo the old one had on my new +atk one right?

I think I'll definitely be able to do squad assault 2. I was able to get to the last stage with my main horse emblem team, i lost one team member the last turn (would have lost two if it kept going probably).

I've never liked Spur Atk. It only works on offense if the buffer steps into place before the attacker does, so in practice it would mostly apply after Lilina fails to ORKO someone and another hero steps inbetween them to finish the job. On defense it only works for baiting, and I'd usually rather have a Def/Res buff for that.

Everything unlearned carries over too! So if you had picked up a few stray skills for the sake of always inherited 3 skills (I do this all the time...) those would still be in your skill list, available to buy with SP.

Enjoy your new busted Reinhardt!

Finished the BHB on lunatic then with only a few minor modifications used the same strat on infernal. The trick turned out to be to buff tiki's speed

Still staring at the takumi in map one of squad assault and wondering what the gently caress I do about him. Is today the day I train up a Robin?

He doesn't have close counter so you could just attack him with a melee unit first if your ranged units are not good enough to kill him

The switch isn't going to change your chances of getting Summer Corrin.

What's the best way to grind SP? I feel like I could do Infernal with Celica if I gave her the right skills. Maybe.

The Master of Magnetism
Got trolled by a 4* Lilina with my free pull.

Took out the BHB infernal with bCordelia, Ryoma, Ninian and Olivia. Cordelia killed the flier and was then danced out of harms way, repositioning the dancer in the process. Ryoma was then able to tank and kill Lilina then vantage kill Cecilia with Draconic Aura. Cordelia then cleaned up the remaining units after a couple of dances.

Hmmm? You have to pick a new team every map. You can't one squad the thing.

I like Spur Attack on certain users like dancers. It applies to any unit standing next to that unit and works in real time unlike hone attack. I've gotten out of a few situations by just moving my Azura next to a unit before it attacks or vice versa.

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
Squad Assault 2 was rough for my narrow 88/159 herodex. Barely made it after lots of adjustments.

1: Eirika, Blucina, Sheena, level 1 selena for reposition
2: Xander, Cecilia, level 1 Eliwood for Ward Cavalry. Level 1 Saizo who does nothing
3: Lucina, Ray, Olwen, Anna. Ray does work here like last SA
4: Camus, Ursula, Gunter, Cherche
5: Nino, Tharja, Sharena, Olivia

The big hurdle was stage one which actually required good units to take care of instead of the SA1 map 1. I opted to use one of my most valuable resources here in Eirika as she buffed Blucina just enough to kill everything.

I managed the Infernal BHB with my horse team. I had to put Hone Cav on Cecilia instead of Fortify for Reinhardt to be able to kill the peg knight, even with Lancebreaker. Jesus Christ. The inflated stats are getting kiiiiinda silly.

Maybe I was unclear. I pretty easily got to the last map with random teams and lost during the last turn with my "best" team - so with a little bit of practice should be able to finish the last map with my best team. It's just infuriating that I have to beat the 4 repeatedly until I do that. Wish I could just skip to the last one with a certain team after I've beaten the others.

If you have any of the normal chain challenges left undone you can run her through one of the 10 map ones as long as you surrender on the last map. That's 9 maps worth of SP for 30 stamina.

The Lunatic BHB took me several tries, but once I got it I managed to claw my way through Infernal with the same team: Summer Gaius with Klein's kit, Nino, and two dancers. I don't think my strategy would have worked had one of the dancers not been +DEF Ninian, though, since she had to eat a hit from the archer.
