After a billion spooks and failures, i finally have hare Catria! +Spd gives her 38 which is uh....high for a horse. Guess she's prime blade tomer. Or is her special weapon actually good?

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Her default egg is a bit awkward to use in an arena core, but will work just fine for a bonus unit. The Chills are nice as an added benefit but not something you can 100% rely on. And it's very good in AA where you can counterpick and use her to target specific stuff.

Yeah I've really liked Bunny Sharena's egg in AA since it really helps against enemies who have a significant merge advantage over your team

Oh, likely bonus units for next round, if people want to start planning:

Swordhart
GreenOlwen
Nana
Leif
Saias
Legion
Priscilla
RobinM
Ephraim
Alfonse

Alfonse would score higher, but I'll probably just cart out Robin for a Lyn/Lilina check.

Pulls for this banner are +Atk/-Spd Leif and +Spd/-Atk Nanna.

So I trained them both to 40 for options (but am probably just gonna use Nanna in the TT)

After that I upgraded Sanaki's Cymbeline and decided to start training her future wife.

Ugh I hate Alfonse week. Mine is still 4*.

Not sure who would drag my score down- him or Priscilla. Prissy is at least 5*....

Is that likely to be horse Ephraim or regular Ephraim? If it's regular then he's probably my best option.

+1 +SPD/-RES Leif is way better than my usual bonus units (both battle performance and score-wise) so this should be a pretty refreshing arena season

According to the Arena score calc... Prissy would drag my score down slightly less than Alfonse and his 4* rear end.



So I guess I'm running a Wrathful Gravity bomb healer in Arena next week. That'll be... different.

Yeah my choices are fresh-pulled 4* MRobin, mostly-unbuilt 4* Prissy, or Alfonse who I literally just promoted to 5* with my last load of 20K feathers, leveled to 30, and forgot about

Alfy might actually be my best choice here, I gave him Swordbreaker at some point too

The ranged training map honestly isn't terrible? I trained my Azama there and even before getting him Pain+ he was able to perform admirably, though he did need some healing in the final map. The enemies there have such low res that you'll win any battle of attrition and that'll get easier as you use healers with actual, you know
attack. Lissa did fine and I threw Serra in there briefly, too, so its not even just pain. You could probably throw on savage blow seal or attack+3 to speed things along

I've also used that one armor map for a few extra SP on one of my healers, but that needs dancer support and will take a while.

Make sure to give them a Blessing if you have spares. With a Blessing they get 2 SP per heal.

And yeah the training maps still work... Might be a good idea to shard them up high enough that they can learn an actual weapon first. Ram enough buffs at them and even non-Wrathful healers can kill something!

I'm finding that with absorb Nanna can handle the level 28 ranged map no problem. And it seems like the map gives exp slowly enough that I can get wrathful absorb+ before it stops giving SP, which will let me handle the lunatic map, hopefully.

e: good call on the blessing though, I didn't realize just how many of them I had.

5102 was enough for top 3k in AA last week (just barely I think) so the 5092 I got this week probably isn't enough but gently caress doing AA again

Looks like the +2 5* Priscilla I have might come in handy next week. Having her with a Panic+ staff and Panic Ploy Fae on the same team is going to be fun against all those mixed Tactics teams I keep seeing.

After beating the GHB Legion quests, I decided to go back to finish the last few GHB Elite 1 quests that I hadn't finished. First up was Robin Armor, where I already knew basically what to do and just needed to execute a bit better, so I got it fairly quickly. The key ended up being, of all things, re-equipping Sacred Cowl onto Minerva, allowing her to tank the choke once the red mage was sniped. Only one I have left is Xander fliers; I'm not sure how I'll do it but at least it's probably not literally impossible for my roster anymore

I like to throw together ___ emblem teams for variety's sake in like the tower quests or the lunatic story chapters if they're not too annoying.

I have almost every flyer in the game so i always swap between 4 or 5 team compositions of them at a time when I need them. its nice! And helps clean out my barracks as I spread around skills.

Got into this game last week with a pretty decent selection of units, and I have a dilemma regarding two of them. I'm approaching my second set of 20k feathers (the first was spent on vanilla Reinhardt) and have two units I want to promote.


(pretend Heavenly Light is something better and that Priscilla's IVs are the same, I don't know how I didn't catch that and am too lazy to fix it)

Current state on the left, planned final form on the right (within limits of what I can make, I thnk Sheena gets the Slaying Axe by refining the Killer Axe?). They are both on theme teams. Sheena is planned to be the armor team's resident damage sponge when in front and the HP battery when in the rear. Priscilla is the cavalry team's healer that I'm not quite sure what to do with yet, I wasn't aware at the time of giving her Bowbreaker that staves did halved damage without the refine/B skill (also I don't have a Genny to feed her Wrathful Staff).

Both of them have been lagging behind in terms of team synergy because they are the only 4★ units on their respective teams and are in dire need of upgrades. Who should get priority?

Priscilla's capabilities won't increase by very much upon promotion so between those two Sheena seems better. It seems unlikely that either is you best use of feathers though but I don't know your roster.

Cavalry team is Sigurd, Reinhardt, Brave Lyn and Priscilla. Armor team is Black Knight, Effie, Amelia and Sheena.

I mainly ask because at the moment I don't need any skill fodders that only come from promoting, barring the exception of Effie wanting a Brave Lance+, and I feel like getting Sheena caught up with the rest of the group is more important than a shiny new pokey stick.
