Sadly the last Awakening banner wasn't that long ago (Exalt Chrom and Morgans).

We're definitely long overdue for an Echoes banner though. Last banner for that was the Gray/Mathilda/Delthea and the Saber/Leon/Sonya twin banners.

Current 4-Stars who could be made 5-Stars





So do I make someone a 5 Star, OR

I can make a Marth, Lilina, Caeda, Fir, Catria or a GHB to 5 Star to +1 the current ones.

OR I could 5 Star a fodder unit I have a Subaki, Takumi or a Chrom to get more Aethers ready.

Do you have breath Qr3 and aether on tiki already? Black Knight really wants Qr3 as well unless you're anticipating vengeful fighter.

Allmost all enemy phase tanks can use Qr3 and aether so it's really your choice who you give it to.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
How goes Arena Assault? If you have a fairly stable normal Arena core, start working on having an army of teams that can reliably take on Arena Assault. When it comes to expanding your roster, I think it's best to go in this order:

1. When you're new to the game, try and get all the colours, weapons and movement types covered. Do this via summoning like a madman, mainly.
2. From there, decide on an arena core that works for you and optimize them as best you can.
3. If you are cool with your arena team, start putting together teams to easier take on Arena Assault, Chain Challenges, movement specific quests and the like. This is where you start making bladetome/drive-spur-stack/Armor Emblem/Flier Emblem/Dragon Emblem/Cavalry Emblem teams.
4. Once you have a good army of teams to throw at AA, go back to your arena team and rework it/multi-merge them/inherit expensive skills in order to maximize your BST. Don't be afraid to ditch dancers and swap out lower BST units for higher ones (I swapped Ursula for Nowi and I wager one day I'll have to swap Nino for Sheena).
5. At this point, if you can stay in Tier 20 or a fine with Tier 19.5, go back to you AA teams and start optimizing/multi-merging them/making more of them. Or, work on hokey gimmick builds if you haven't already because it's fun.

Always remember to optimize your husbando/waifu though. This is vital to Heroes and probably the most important thing and should always take priority.

Well beyond crafting an opening team (Right now it's Fjorm, BRoy, BLyn and Nephenee because they can get to 712) Here's the teams I tend to rely on

Horse Team Alpha - BRoy, BLyn, Gunnthra, Reinhardt. There is nothing Horse Team Alpha can't kill, they are my most built up team.


Horse Team Bravo - Xander/Swordhardt, Camus, Clarine, Cecilia. This team is almost complete, Camus has to get the SP to learn Reposition, and Swordhardt and Xander tend to trade off depending on a need for Tanking/Killing.


Flyer Team - Halloween Nowi, Cherche/Gerome, Catria/Caeda, Bownoka, Girlma. I mostly use Flyer Team for one of three roles. 1. Working around a terrible terrain area, 2. Anti-Armor/Cavalry (Caeda has the Wing Sword, Gerome has the Poleaxe, Bownoka has the Warrior Bow) 3. Counter-Killing ranged units with Girlma.


From here, things become less "Team" and more "Units who counter Units"

So if I see a team of full dragons, I will use either Roy or Marth, backed up with a Dancer and a Healer. And then a 4th. I try not to use Marth and Roy together, because there are in fact a lot of dragons.


I have Micaiah for an Armor or Cavalier team, So less team cohesion and more "Fuuuck who do I have that fills the role I need?"

Tired Moritz posted:

Well I don't use Black Knight right now, because I don't have Armor March, so he and Hector just... sit there unless I have to use them. I'd want a proper armor team before I built Armor Emblem.

As for long-term plans? I'm hunting for a Good IV for Roy, the current one isn't the worst (+HP and -Spd) but I'd like... +Def or +Res -Spd. You can see from above units I'm sort of filling in skills for. I have QR 2 on Girlma and VIke, I'd like to eventually replace them with 3. But I'm trying to determine the best thing to push for now. It's hard for me to make decisions.

Merged units with really high defenses like Tiki are one of the few units that get a lot of mileage out of qr3 compared to 2, especially if you are running breath+aether

She's still missing Steady Breath and will probably continue to do so for quite some time as I've never pulled a BIke, have no spare VIkes, and am still using up all my orbs trying to get Bride Tharja

but yeah I guess I should probably spend some feathers on upgrading her QR, I'll do it after I switch her to -SPD

Flier teams are awesome at the moment. If I were you, I'd promote Michalis and Valter the snag a red and a colourless unit from your current fliers and make a secondary flier team.

If you have any three or four star blade tome units (Nino, Odin, Tharja, that :haw: chick I forget the name of) Nowi, Cecilia, La'Rachel, Ursula, Olwen and Summer Elise all love that tome, and you have Groom Marth coming up in the next Tempest Trial who sports a weapon that's basically a light version of Eirika's refined Sieglinde, so you'll have a way to buff them. Bladetomes still remain some of the most over-powered weapons in the game, so I highly recommend either promoting a Nino or a Tharja with good IVs or promoting one with bad IVs and giving the tome to one of the above units.

Also, you have a 5* Klein. You can give someone QR3 right now.

But I don't really have "Three units I always run with VIke" Right now my Arena Assault Starting team is "Fjorm, Nephenee, BRoy and BLyn" but that's just because Those three together have the highest point value and share blessings.




I'm super hyped for Marth, I'll finally have the mounted Physical green my Horse Emblem's been missing. And it gives me a third green I can use.


Right now Red Horse Emblem is: BRoy, Xander, Sigurd, Swordhardt, Cain (Not really used, even though he's +1),
Blue Horse Emblem is: Camus, Finn, Legendary Ephraim, Reinhardt and Olwen (Except not really she's terrible)
Green Horse Emblem is: Cecilia, Gunnthra.

Yup.

Congrats you've figured out Arena Assault.

But it seems like you're at the point where "just slotting in units" is not going to cut it as you ascend the tiers, but you're basically already doing what you need to be doing: putting together teams that synergize well and can take on the meta. If that's going well with horsies and you are having fun builidng those teams, go for it. You have enough for a couple of good flier teams, so you could go in that direction. Hell, if you want to focus on dragons promote that Kana and keep an eye out for Fae.

Whatever you end up choosing, commit to it though. It's better to build one good team than to half-rear end several. Also, just know, whichever you choose, you can do little wrong. You have good units and this game is very forgiving. You have to try really hard to actually do things badly.
