Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

My free pulls were: a 4* Stahl and another useless 4*Merric. Does any unit want spur res?

What unit likes Darting Blow 3? Tharja and Nino already have it. I'm pretty much between Cordelia and Palla, who have tri adept, or Hinoka and Fir, because Fir is my meme character right now and Hinoka's A skill is okay. But none of them really seem to need/want that skill.

Honestly, it's just a good default A skill if you don't have anything in particular you want. Most recently I put it on MMarth and I was actually pretty surprised at how much more effective she was

Take Merric out of the loving 5* pool

+DEF Merric is a surprisingly great physical tank, and he's very handy to have on hand in Arena Assault when you come across a flier team.

Plus, he's not Boey.

Palla's default weapon already has Triangle Adept baked in. :psyduck: Did you give her a different weapon, or something? If she has her default, Darting Blow works pretty well on her.

For my free pulls off the banner I got... a 3* Oliva for merging and the Hector banner didn't give me any greens so I picked the red. 5* Chrom. What. Lousy nature, so I merged him with the +atk one I drew ages ago. Guess I have to do something with him now...

For my free CYL hero I will most definitely pick Lyn. I am in dire need of a decent archer and getting one that can get Horse buffs and no-sells Blade Tomes and DC units? YES PLEASE.

The only question is do I put her on my main Cav team or the second string? Main Cav team is Xander, Camus, Reinhardt, Cecilia. Second string is going to be Freddie, Ursula, Leo, and...hadn't quite decided on the fourth.

All right. I was confused. I put Darting Blow on my Palla, also Drag Back. If she doesn't kill something, she can drag it back for her friends to finish off. Mine could probably double more things if she were +spd, but mine is not.

I'm drowning in Florinas so I can give Darting Blow to basically anybody I want. I would just about kill for a Hinoka, though. She's the last piece I need to do Flier Emblem for real!

No worries, my Palla build is either going to break new ground or be a mess lol. Draw back seems so useful for something like Palla, but I haven't gotten a Gwendolyn or Donnel in awhile.

And I'm pretty sure I sold my soul for Hinoka, because I got her and SCorrin after a casual "preparing a sacrifice for SCorrin" comment.

Edit: by break new ground I mean basically it'll make me feel proud of myself.

I have one Gordin and one Klein, but don't want to get rid of my only ones. I also need to make some space for heroes, but I don't have many more I want to get rid of (I'm at 193/200). Also I like Ike/Hector/Lucina more, but I'm thinking about supporting Chrom in the begginning. I now have a 5*+1 Chrom with Aether/Heavy Blade/(QR or Renewal, not sure which I like more, prob QR)/Threaten Att Chrom to use.

You can only have one copy of each seal. If you get another copy it turns into 300 feathers

hello
So I have four 4* Fae sitting around taking up space. I already sacrificed 2 to give Lucina and Masked Marth Renewal. Are there any other units that go well with Renewal? I was considering Chrom, but I don't ever use Chrom. Renewal is a good enough skill that I don't want to just toss it away, but I haven't really looked into who else could benefit from it.

There are always other brave bow users and other inheritance fodder. Don't burn a character you like unless you have 5 extra you aren't merging into them already.

Same but I only have one Fae. Amelia could really use Renewal, but this one's an actual good nature, so I'm hesitant to sac her. The last one I had was -spd so I didn't feel any guilt for feeding her to "Marth." Plus, I'd like to set up an all dragon team and she's the only green dragon.

I've never even drawn a Hawkeye.

EDIT: Actually, checking my Fae again, she's +def/-res which seems counterproductive for a unit who's supposed to be a tank. Is that right?

It's hard to draw archers when everyone tells you to avoid colorless hell, tbh.

Would have been nice to get a good unit, I must be a bad roller. What's worse, I got two 4* Ninos, when I already have a really good 5*; and nowI have to decide to either merge, promote and merge, or inherit to another caster.

Does a 5* Cherche with Brave Axe and 49 Attack and 32 Def want Luna, Draconic Aura, or Bonfire? Currently has 52 Atk due to Atk+3, may get Death Blow 3 some day, no plans to ever merge with other Cherches

I mean, if you want more archers, you should draw from the orb that gets you them. I'm pretty sure the golden rule is "don't roll from orbs you don't want". Colorless just sucks a little more because of the multitude of different classes in it, but I've gotten a looot of Gordins on colorless pulls.

Edit: My Cherche has basically the same build with Death Blow, and Draconic Aura does work in and out of Flier emblem.

I see Chrom winning, but that's a toss up. Ike and Lucina are definitely winning, and I think Camilla is probably winning. Tharja, Camilla, or Lucina probably the champ though.

Training up a -ATK Ninian is so sloooow, even with TA. The only thing she actually kills in one turn is low res sword units.

-RES is pretty good, but it means he dies bit easier to some of the ridiculous Reinhardts you see in arena. -SPD is a bit better I think.
