If you just want Soren to beat Reinhardt in Aerna Assault he does out of the box (at least at 5* what mine is). Would want someone else to use a Fortify Res buff on him to make sure he can take it due to the potential horse buffs, but he can deal.

His Soren is -RES. -RES Soren will definitely die to a Rein with moonbow + Quickened pulse.

Oh boo. Why do I get the worst natures on units I actually like?

Looks like my best bet would be not to bait him, but get him with Watersweep or something. Aside, why does Soren have Watersweep? He's a wind mage!

If you give him fury3/res3 and a HP seal he can still do the Rein baiting job unless Rein is buffed. If the rein is buffed you need a res buff to bait him.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Started my newbie reroll journey. Any no brainer stops, besides like multiple 5 stars? I got an Ike at one point but the rest looked like crap and none of the characters looked fun so I flushed it. My current pull is 5 star: Lionheart Eldigan, 4 star: Viridian Knight Stahl, The Hatchet Barst, Young Lion Roy, Perfect Expert Subaki, 3 star: Perfect Expert Subaki, Gentle Giant Draug.

My free pull of the hero fest banner for me a 5* Leo, which is okay because I didn't have him yet.

Either I use him for horse things, or someone gets QR3. Haven't decided yet.

Besides multiple 5-stars, the Nohrian Summer banner has limited edition units that won't be available anymore once the banner ends. In particular, Elise is a good green mage, and Corrin is one of only two flier mages available in the whole game. The other one was also a limited edition and is no longer available.

If you're rolling the Hero Fest banner, any of them are good units to shoot for. Julia is an excellent green mage, Ninian is a dancer (always useful to have) and Ike is Ike. Genny is has a unique skill that eliminates the attack penalty on staves (usually healers have their attack power cut in half.)

Other stand-out... any of the mages on the Tempest Trial banner are good, ditto for the Cecilia and Lilina banner. The Life and Death banner... well units who have the full Life and Death skill line are rare. If any of them look good to you, go for it. (Minerva is a stand-out among them).

You're spoiling for choices! Pick whoever you like best.

When I pulled on the Hero Banner for free I got four Colorless and one red to choose from. Clearly making fun of myself yesterday was me tempting fate. I pulled the red instead.

Got 4* Tharja, which is good for me in that I can complete her entry in the EmblemDex, but also bad because she sucks and I hate her.

Wo Dao seems like one of those swords you should just hang on to because you know someone's going to need it somewhere down the line. Hana's a fun recipient of it. Certainly a +SPD Hana should get a Brave Sword+ and never look back, but a +ATK Hana with Wo Dao+ and a charged Moonbow is a thing of beauty.

I think Wo Dao is better on +spd Hana (vs. 40 speed sword units) and Brave Sword is better on +atk Hana.

If you're up for it, rerolling hero fest until you get two banner units or a Hector is what I'd probably be doing.

I thought tharja was pretty good am I mistaken? Just pulled her with +Atk- RES, which is the same IVs as the sanaki I just got a bit ago and I'm wondering which one is the better mage overall.

Sanaki has death blow and swordbreaker and is p good but would prob be super good if I gave her tharjas blade tome. If I run tharja I would prob give her desperation and make her a red linde basically. Any thoughts

I have a +RES/-HP 5* Eirika who's been collecting dust in my unit box because my broken team comp of choice is Horse Emblem rather than Nino Buff Machine. But with Arena Assault being a thing, I'm starting to work on some projects, and Eirika seems like a good one, especially because I like her and I never did use that extra Hector I pulled a while back. Do you actually run DC Eirika, and if so what does the rest of her build look like?

e: I also have a +SPD/-DEF one that I can promote next time I hit 20k feathers, which I'm leaning toward for mage-baiting.
I do and it's been incredibly helpful but I primarily use her as a buffbot for my ~blade infantry team (Nino, Tharja, Delthea) and I really advise not promoting her unless you're going to take full advantage of that. Also, perhaps Eirika was a bad example for a good +RES melee unit because her RES is good enough as-is and she desperately needs +ATK (mine's +ATK/-DEF).

I have all three of those units (and somehow with good boon/bane combinations, too)! I was thinking of building her up because I could make better use of my bladetome users than I do right now. My +ATK options are -RES and -SPD, though, so not ideal, but promoting one of the less than perfect ones and merging her into my existing 5* might help. The game has been showering us with feathers lately, and I've already promoted the starting trio to ensure that I always have an arena bonus unit, so I don't feel too worried about wasting feathers on promotions.

I've had decent results on units like Eirika, nowi, and b Camilla. I usually end up putting it on units with middling Atk levels who's primary job is buffing or whatnot as it at least gives them enough punch to handle good color matchups and those kinds of units are usually not front line fighters if it can be helped.

I spent another 88 orbs on the Hero Fest banner, and I came away with... a +HP/-DEF YTiki, a +ATK/-HP Sonya (wrong banner, Sonya) and a +SPD/-DEF Abel. I... don't really understand how this happened but :confuoot:?

How is a Firesweep build on a +SPD Abel? I'd hate to axe him for his Brave Lance with an IV like that.

Support units and specialists, folks you expect to use as a backup to your big guns. Generally, if you find yourself thinking "this guy can't kill anything" but you still think they're good enough to keep around, give them Pringles Adept.

MRobin (and anyone else with a Raven Tome), Eirika and Ninian are prime examples.

There's nothing wrong with Tharja, mechanically. She's just not a terribly appealing character in her game.

Anybody you want to be able to delete their strong color and don't really care if it makes them blow up to their weak color. Good candidates include Eirika, Ninian, Olivia, etc.

Tharja is fine, she's just not a hard counter to :allears: Reinhardt :allears: so she suffers in the current meta. She's still a blade tome user with good enough stats to use it properly.
