Since you mention Tactic instead of Hone Cav, I'll recommend desperation over lancebreaker. Bring a dancer, double lances the hard way :black101:

When is the preview for the next legendary banner supposed to pop up?

I think it's probably a few hours before the next reset? It comes out on the 28th, so before the reset on the 27th. Whatever that translates into in your timezone.

I always want to say like "tomorrow at midday" but obviously that's not at all true for many of you.

Done with my fourth +10 merge :toot: Will probably give her Speed Tactics if I ever pull a Legendary Lyn or if they release it as a seal.

Does Sophia do work at low merges with just close counter and like an owl tomb?

I don‘t see why not, Sophia really likes getting more defensive stats from merges but the Owltome takes care of that if you put enough allies next to her.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.


I'm thinking about this for Earth season. I don't have any other Bonus Unit for the arena. And I have to erase my Water Blessing to put on an Earth here for Neph. But I need a built up blue.

Just realised there was a commander support option, do we know exactly what it does? Is it a powerful stat boost or should I just stick on a primo waifu?

It gives HP+5 and eventually +2 to every stat at S Rank. I’d say put it on someone you use in Arena, but most people Summoner Support their waifu, I guess.

Also it changes the background on the one character that’s got the support in their status screen

It literally puts them on a pedestal and +2 to all stats so best on a mixed tank, a lot of people put it on thier favorite dragon or blade mage. aTiki with the new fog breath +5/5 is amazing with summoner support and fury.

When it's maxed out, it gives +5 HP and +2 everything else. Toss it on your waifu or someone else you use a lot.

Dual rallies usually are used if you are trying to Max BST, and an aoe special on Robin.

Roger Explosion
Jan 26, 2006

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
Aether, a dual-rally and a higher-scoring seal on Robin.
A dual-rally and a higher-scoring B slot on Cordy.
A dual-rally and more merges on Fae.
More merges, a dual-rally, Aether and a higher-scoring seal on Celica.
Ditch them for 40+10 optimized armour units.

The Celica slot is for the bonus unit of the week.

Do dual rallies really matter that much more than movement stuff?

Is there a benefit to swapping out the hones for tactics stuff?

In terms on optimized gameplay, it mostly makes it worse unless it's paired with a Feint skill or buffing a blade tome. In terms of optimized score, yes.

What'd be a better Seal for Robin in this circumstance, and the same for B slot on Cordy, I'm guessing Desperation but she is Firesweep so she shouldn't need it I would think.

We finally got the results for the Tempest Trial. Ursula just plain offed herself without giving a reason for her treachery, which was a bit dumb, but Legault essentially offered Linus an alternative timeline in which to patch things up with Nino, which was pretty cool.

These little canon what-ifs are fast becoming one of my favourite parts of Tempest Trials.

Anything with levels, really. It's more of a scoring thing than a gameplay thing. Those single-level skills are usually pretty bad (unless they're DC or CC).

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

If I ever start getting to the point where I need to min-max my score to the level of stuffing dual Rally skills on everyone and dumping utility skills like Drag Back and Hit and Run, that is the point where I will take whatever Arena rank I get and have done.

There's a point where optimizing for score interferes with your ability to actually win matches, and sacrificing the movement assist skills would do that for me. I live and die by my ability to snipe things with Nino and then yank her back out of danger.

Fortunately I am not at that point yet, as I'm still trying to throw more merges onto my core so I can even get back to T20. I liked the 19.5 bounce, drat it.

I just realized that Nino has basically the same backstory as Corrin. Kidnapped as a baby and raised by a psychopath who hates her, she nonetheless develops a strong bond with her adoptive siblings. Then one day she's sent on a suicide mission where she's forced to make an important choice.

If you just want to kill armors, give her a player phase A skill (Fury, Deathblow, Swift Sparrow, etc) and Micaiah's good.

yeah the what ifs here, and in some of the seasonal paralouges, are pretty fun. They seem to really like FE7 in particular.

The two flavors I've seen are default build + QR (maybe with some way to survive Brave Lyn), or the silly Desperation + Brash Assault build. I use the latter, but to be fair she mostly operates as a healer who kicks into gear to finish the battle. With Brash Assault and Desperation she can even handle green armors, but even with Sacrifice it can be awkward to activate. As in the battle's already mostly won so it doesn't matter.

I was doing alright in terms of repositions til I hit Barst #7 or so, then things started getting kind of tight, but now that he's complete I can build up a stock of Barst-brand repositions again.
