I can if they bring back her GHB with additional-Robin quests 4 or 5 times. They're already on Narcian's third and Robin's' third is coming up, so I assumed they'd just keep going through the cycle for new players.

Unless they make it so if you've already gotten the quest Robins, you can't get any more. But I don't think they'd do that.

... W-would they?

I would bet that they're not going to. So far they've made it so that if you need a specific hero for a quest, it's either a starter or a hero that they give you in another quest in that group, presumably so that even someone unlucky or who sent all of hero x home or what have you can still complete it.

E: Also if Narcian is any indication, there'll be an Infernal FRobin next time it comes around, which would probably be nice for your project.

Until I have Reposition on all of my units, I'm not going to complain about Barst. Bartre is another matter entirely.

i wonder... i kinda doubt it, most of us probably just waited for the bonus rounds and never spent flags aside from that. now, team lyn, otoh, they overspent so many flags that they got back to a 10% lead from a 9.5% deficit at least twice

Just for coverage basically. Green tomes are popular in arena as well so it can give you an edge

As a very vague rule of thumb, I would say you want a breaker on hero of the same color instead on the advantaged color, because it lets you turn a loss into a win instead of just turning a draw into a win.

Also it really depends on what you're trying to counter.

I wish there was an option to never play with a unit in Voting Gauntlet after the first time you encounter them.

No, I don't want your level 30 Klein with only Death Blow 1, rando. God Hana and my ProjectClarisse have to fight a level 40 Nino, Ike, and Reinhardt, and you're not helping.

I actually replaced desperation on my Nino with gTomebreaker because of all the other mages with green tomebreaker in the arena

Looked at lame new banner, said "give me Ephraim" when I went to do my free pull, and then I picked blue and it did!



I also have green tomebreaker on my Nino and it puts in a lot of work, as mentioned there are no shortage of green mages to gobble up.

i got a 5* gordin with a loving iron bow. not iron bow+, not steel bow, loving iron

i've also gotten matched against three brave lyns when i had only fliers. whatever math they use for matchmaking in voting arena is absolutely terrible.

Who would like Swift Sparrow? I pulled Katarina on the Brave Banner just now.

I'm leaning towards my +Atk/-HP Amelia who is currently running Darting Blow, or my Masked Marth healbot, but I don't know. Most of my other units already have an A skill. Maybe save it in case Nephenee wants it over Distant Counter?

(She's +Def/-Spd, so basically Swift Sparrow Fodder.)

Warding Blow on Fir with Glacies and Killing Edge+ is ... not bad. I don't know if she'll ever be useable like some other projects, but I like Fir, and I don't like Niles.

Also, random player, your Klein is not better as a level 32 if you only have Death Blow 1 on him. My Clarisse does twice as much damage as his lazy rear end does. What are you spending his sp on if he's not already at DB3? :psyduck:

Does the warding blow even do anything since mages don't counter melee units?

Edit: Oh right, it boosts glacies. Feels like a waste though.

+Atk/-Spd is arguably the best IV for Kagero since she's all about one-shotting anyway. Shame about the rest though.

Not on my friends list. They choose a rando and a friend usually. I just keep getting the same rando.

I have 4 4* Niles and I hate him, so it's worth experimenting with Warding Blow, imo. L&D 3 and Fury might be better all around, but my units with that are limited and/or units I like.

She has Seal Def and Threaten Def already, but I don't have a Wo Dao+ or Death Blow 3 available at the moment. I guess I could Moonbow after I get those, but before that is doing basically nothing, honestly.

Not really. Her speed is good, which means she can double and kill a lot things she can't OHKO, like many horses and fliers.

She can't kill brave Ike without doubling either.

i mean -atk isn't terrible on her. with swift sparrow + full hp, her raw atk is still like 52, which is pretty respectable. i mean, she'll never double a nino but hey she's still a bulldozer

I would need a Hector for that. :(

Edit: like I said, I doubt Fir will ever be viable, but this (using weird things nobody really uses on a hero nobody really uses) is more interesting to me than making Blade Tome user #21.
