Is Gray One of the bonus units for Tempest Trials?

I just chucked in $60 for 80 orbs and got him :smith:

40% bonus units: Celica, Gray, Sonya, Delthea
20% bonus units: Alm, Berkut, Genny, Clive

So yeah if you didn't get Berkut while his GHB was up you're praying to the RNG.

I was really hoping for Celica, but this Gray's +spd -def, so with Wind Boost he's going to be a speedy fucker.

Wonder how I should build him

I'm more interested in the one that lets you use the semi-useful attack ploy skill without taking up a skill slot for something more important. I wager I'll be seeing it on every Julia from now until eternity.

The map-choice seems custom-made to gently caress with your speed score.

Also, that last map is so loving cool! The design and the music are probably the best I've seen from the game yet!

Clive looks pretty drat basic. Free Hit and Run seems nice though. Glad I held onto a 5* Peri so her can have a more interesting lance.

This might seem like an odd question but

Is there an app or something I can use to disable autolock on my pixel while playing this game?

I've tried googling, but can't find anything

Hit the maximum points on my first run, getting to use Celica is sooo much better than having to use a *4 Mae with bad IVs.

It's fine. Give her Fury and the -ATK won't be that noticeable. +SPD is a really good boon for her since she gets +4 speed from it, she actually hits 33 speed with Fury 3. Neat thing is that it's impossible to ruin Julia with bad IVs.

The +4 to all stats help tremendously.

I'm running Sonya/Alm/Berkut/Genny just to get some HM on my not that great units and even the 4* Berkut can do something with the bonus stats.

I just realized the gently caress Vantage seal is a pretty massive blow to Hector. The dude will never be a bad unit but in between this, Xander stealing his schtick, Sheena being a better tank and everyone figuring out how to deal wit him in arena, the dude's fallen far from where is was at launch.

Will the new seal also screw with Brash Assault and Desperation?

Yes to desperation. No to brash since that is just an extra attack.

One of the big issues I have sometimes is Delthea having some fury damage on her when I go to kill Ryoma so she gets OHKOed and not being able to just weaken him with someone else because he has vantage. The gently caress vantage seal should help with that nicely

The gently caress vantage seam needs your unit to have 100% hp to work

What's interesting is the gently caress Vantage seal is listed as gently caress Vantage 1, which implies that we'll see a full 1/2/3 version of it in the future. I wonder if its going to be a barely noticeable HP range like Quick Riposte or something more substantial like Wrathful Staff.

The seal needing your unit to be at full health hurts it a bit. Makes dealing with Hector easier definitely, but most people should be aiming to ORKO Hector at this point anyway. Or have a red unit that can deal with him all day.

I'm more curious about if the seal shuts off Desperation, especially on your own unit.

The triple points bonus is very cool and good. Same for the bonus unit stats, base 4* Berkut tanks everything pretty well. I'll manage to hit all the seals just running one bar of stamina on hard 5s each day.

That's pretty alright honestly. I guess she no longer doubles +spd Reinhardt's, but those aren't super common.

Orb rewards are cool and good but I'm a bit more excited by the shitton of shards (no, not crystals) they're giving at the higher score brackets

Although I suppose I'll need them less and less with the new 4* rate. Still good for promoting the occasional 3* Hinatas though

Like a ground unit being able to give a brave hana, lucina or Cordelia +6 attack is amazing.

It's alright but melee inftantry are generally not that that great so it's of limited use. Especially when units like Cordelia can use flier buffs, which are just better.

Way better than it was before now that arena assault is a thing though.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Speaking of Ike he's still use able yeah? After ages of trying I finally landed him with a +Atk -hp iv which I won't bitch about! Figure he's a good fit for Fury and maybe quick riposte or maybe his native sword breaker.

It's just really hard to justify benching Xander for any other red unit, dude just does it all and does it really well. But dang it I'm hell bent on using Ike after all the effort I put in trying to get him since he appeared.

Also I think the IV system is on the glitch because of the past 4 five star units I've pulled, every single one of them has been +Atk - RES or hp. I'm terrified of the day the gacha gods swing the pendulum back around the other way and it's nothing but -spd for months
