I think I've finally hit that point in arena where teams consist of multimerged horses and kind of strange pet projects.

I don't have Autobattle on my bottom bar for that very reason.

I don't trust myself not to blindly mash the green 'OK' button, even though they added that extra dialog specifically for dumdums like me.

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.
:negative: RIP Camilla, Azura managed to squeeze by just barely not triggering bonus. It would have taken like 2-3 (that's not true but it only needed to be a few more mil) more people tossing flags to push things far enough.

When I looked at the stat lines a few hours ago, Takumi had a slight lead over his brother, but like every other match-up, not enough to trip a bonus.

Ok here are my two newbie teams after 3 or 4 weeks, and the rest of my roster. Is there anything else I can do to improve either team? I've got about 8k feathers saved and plan on promoting either Atiki or Cecilia, I'm leaning towards tiki since my main goal is clearing all the story content and the dragon team is so far way better at that.




Edit: Atiki has fury 3 but I switched for grinding XP on the level 35 warriors map.

He should have practiced being normal harder.

Meanwhile, with Camilla eliminated, Tharja's record as the only two time winner is secured. Hope Lissa wins if she doesn't. I find most Fates characters intolerable at the best of times, and Ryoma and Azura are two of the worst.

My armor team is OK in arena but that's probably because when I use them I only really fight other armor teams and everyone has the ability to distant counter/is a mage. Also armor march.

Doing this TT without a guidance flier to get Tharja around would get annoying real fast, though.

Looks like I'm siding with Ryoma, since Robin and Camilla went down.

I will work to ensure that a guy who doesn't care about Christmas or New Years wins this gauntlet.

I already have a decent armor team. I don't need any more. especially when armor units are never in rotation anyway.

They could OHKO every unit and I still wouldn't use them (aside from AA) because the positioning is poo poo even with armor march

especially player phase armors

Both are pretty easy to deal with imo since they can't instantly kill one of your units from across the screen, which was the only reason horse emblem was dangerous in the first place.

Armors are big and dumb and always blob together in a big dumb blob and that is why they are the absolute best.

Prior to this gauntlet I didn't realize people actually liked Azura. Same with Ryoma last gauntlet.

Remember, voting gauntlets are for siding with your favorite waifus and/or husbandos. You side with whoever will get you the most feathers to dedicate to your true waifus/husbandos.

With armor march they're not much different from infantries, gluing two units together is not a big hassle and it's common practice to begin with since lots of teams run Hones and such. No if your team relies on Drives/Spurs/etc you don't need to glue units together, but the point is it doesn't qualify as "poo poo positioning" anymore compared to back when they could only move 1 space

Them being able to move over forests helps a little as well

Like Bold + March Blade Tharja is pretty much a Nino that doubles every time, plus a shitton of bulk

To each their own, but I do that all the time even with cavalries, and I don't find it limiting at all. The map is already so small and the enemy's threat range often covers half the map, units will often end up adjacent to each other naturally anyway.

There is a cost on flexibility but I don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be, and the payoff from Bold Fighter is huge.
