personally I'm still on phase 2 of metagame

AFAICT, phase 1 is "use feathers to promote units to use on content", phase 2 is "use feathers to promote units to give your active-duty units their optimal skill loadouts," and phase 3 is "use feathers to build up whaley multimerge projects"

I'm still out of Shannas and have roughly a zillion units that want Desperation, so I'm gonna be on phase 2 for a while

phases 4 through infinity are "use feathers on your vanity projects"

Huh, guess I'm on phase 3. I'm focusing my feathers on making the units I have better and/or merging them. I don't think I have any vanity projects, so this is the infinity phase for me I guess.

I think I've only ever promoted a unit as fodder twice - a Cordelia for Galeforce and a Cecilia for Gronnraven+.

I've done it a few times. An Odin for Blarblade+ for my Summer Corrin, who has an atk, bane so I figured she needs every point of attack she can get. Then... 3 Cecilias for Gronnraven+, and even a Selena for TA3 because HHenry desperately needed it and I hadn't drawn a Roy in months.

Not really, I just wanted the full healing value. I run them in TT and every little bit of HP helps.

Last I checked you need 700+ per run to get into T20. I expected to struggle with my 4* Alfonse this season, but I got a late Leif which scores very nicely!

If you give Anna fury then she kills Hinoka on enemy phase instead.

Is it just me or has the story suddenly gotten very fast.
We spent several pretty nice (imo) chapters first establishing the new plot, then several searching for Gunnthra while evading the fire twins. We even set up some future plot points for: taking in the fire, how askr will slowly be attacked in the mean time since surtr & veronica are off in askr, captured Laegjarn, established there's a third muspell general
then in the past 2 chapters:
-surtr is suddenly (I guess Loki did it?) back in Nifl with no explanation, found gunnthra before we did, killed gunnthra like 3 times
-lost Laegjarn off screen
-Had neither fire princess show up in either chapter's scenes
-went directly to the Nifl altar to conduct the rite with no transition scenes
-Surtr is suddenly back in Askr and kidnapping Veronica for a sacrifice
-now we're ready for the final battle

I expected another character-building chase chapter or 2 between the last one and this one, but now I'm not sure we'll even get a transition chapter as we head to muspell. It's all weirdly sudden





Also Bruno not being in this is even weirder after that final scene.


continues to be relevant

I just dumped her in range of Takumi and the blue horse on turn one. Default skill loadout+QR3 seal. She survived with 4 hp. She might have had some buffs idk.

My Fjorm is +1 so maybe the extra point of attack mattered?

QR Seal and buffs. She's built to tank ranged units but doesn't have the speed or power to one-shot on the counter. I only have the Fjorm you get from doing the story, stock skills, and she was fine with a couple hones up.

Default Fjorm w/ QR3 seal next to someone with some attack buff (I used spur attack 3, but hone attack should work just as fine) & Drive Defense 2 seal nearby should kill Takumi & the blue mage, then someone behind her can go forward & kill the axe cav (I used axe breaker alfonse). My Alfonse & Fjorm are S Rank so she had +2 extra attack & defense, but you can probably mess with seals on other units to add in the other attack boosting seals as needed.

QR seal Fjorm killed Takumi and blue mage on turn 1 enemy phase and then spent the entire rest of the fight hiding in a corner trying not to get hurt

Where Sigurd is good for making the most of lower resistance, Seliph is meant for facetanking huge reverse triangle hits. Dunno that he's worth the investment but he's far better than given credit for.

Slight personal preference for the charge speed, even with an accelerator. He tends to counterkill regardless, when he's attacked in range-- if something survives it's not by the difference, typically.

Every time you use a hero in battle they gain hero merit. At each interval of 500 points, they give you 500 feathers, up to a current limit of 5000 hero merit. So yes, it's a reward for him being your favourite!

speaking of hero merit, I'm grinding it out via the free ghbs and booooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy when i cash in it's gonna be swell

eventual goal is to max out all of them but i'm not sure how realistic that is

or how time consuming

i'd like to just leave it running on my PC while i go to work but that seems kinda lovely to do, so i'm only doing it while I'm actually at my PC and keeping an eye on it.
