He's still remarkably effective for a non-merged unit.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Finally got my first Linde!!

Now I just need Olwen to complete the collection.

I got one each

One had a 4* Silas (my first) and one had a 3* Cordelia (whom I'll probably merge eventually) though so y'know what I'll take it

I just can't seem to beat Infernal Aversa. I'm gonna have to buckle down and really figure this out tomorrow.

edit: Beginning to suspect that I'm gonna need a flier team for this. this number one hurdle here is mobility

So who are all you cool kids backing in this gauntlet? I'm thinking Delthea unless someone else seems popular. Feathers are cool and all, but I like using other people's units a lot too.

Was going to pick Odin. He's who I like the best out of the choices, and that's the most important metric. I have Delthea, Linde, Rein... I had Tailtiu but I'm pretty sure I burned my last one for Drive Spd.

Of those, I like Odin the best. So I'll send my Eirika out out to help Team Odin. She can buff your Odins and handle those pesky green mages!

For summons I got a 3* Odin and a Hinata...

Congrats, she looks fantastic!

As for support, I'm probably also going to play for Team Ishtar, and like Silver as part of the DC Eirika club, send out my Eirika.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

gently caress, if I weren’t committed to sending out my super Soleil, I’d take part in this DC-Eirika club meeting too for Team Odin.

So, uh, between the two banners, the initial summon circles got me Tailtiu, Delthea, and Ishtar. Delthea's a dupe, and I've got a 5* Tailtiu already too, but they're both improvements on my current natures. Ishtar is... +spd -atk, which, well, I'd probably rather have that than the reverse.

Now the question is: do I merge the Deltheas, or hold on to the old one to give someone drive atk down the line? Leaning towards merging, because between Fjorm, Leif, Micaiah, and Groom Marth, I've got plenty of options for slotting drive atk into a team if I need to.

E: Also I guess Clair's taking a break for this voting gauntlet. Thinking I'll send out Cherche as a change of pace. I'll probably start out on team Delthea, but I've got everyone except Ophelia, so I'm flexible if she loses.

my main worry would be aversa's night loving over your hone/fortify bonuses if you're deploying a bladetome flier

actually come to think of it there is one very natural partner for team delthea and her dark aura



3284081305 and she can be yours

e: last full pull i could do gave me a deirdre :negative: can't complain about having a +6 delthea now though, but another point of speed and res on her would have been cool

I'm backing Linde because I want to use Linde more often.

I'll probably switch out my Silas for Helbindi so everyone has a blade tome battery, but I need to find a nice A Skill for him.

I'm glad Aversa's A & S rank talks more about the memories thing, I was worried it'd just be Loki 2 after seeing her C & B rank. Living with the anxieties & paranoia that'd bring is interesting and I liked her line about "this is my decision, no one else's".

Huh, looking more closely at Aversa she might actually be my best option for a red tome for a flier team, despite tana being +Spd. She's a lot better than I gave her credit for

Kliff's dialogue was the same as Silas's, which is a concept that I liked but felt repetitive. Also I actually enjoyed Owain's.

Loki's was maximum cringe tier though, yeah.

Yeah Kliff's would've been better if they focused less on being a nobody and more on how he can be kind of standoffish to people...

quote:

Kliff: Tobin.

Tobin: By the Mother! Did you actually just start a conversation?

Kliff: You were going to approach me anyway. …Don’t ask me why. I thought treating you like dirt would have inspired you to give me space.

Tobin: Aw, you don’t treat me like dirt! Look, you like to vent, I get it.

Kliff: How can you be so NICE? I try to be nice, but other people just make me crazy. And when you let me take it out on you, I feel even worse.

Or his wanting to see/learn more of the world. At least this is acknowledged in his accessory.

quote:

Kliff: So now we’re at war with Rigel. I meant to see the world, and now it seems I’m REALLY seeing it. Heh. I make it sound so grand, but honestly, I’ve just been running. I hated it in the village. My mother never thought of anyone but herself. I couldn’t spend my life there. So now I’ve found all the excitement I longed for, plus a fair lot I didn’t! But don’t tell the others I’m actually enjoying this. Heh heh.

Or just his interest in magic!

this stuff is mentioned in his character quotes and stuff so it's a shame it was put to the backburner

Yay, duel infantry skill! Gave up on the Jakob banner a while ago in favour of trying to get one so I can bring Sothe to the arena. Actually getting the skill is making me hesitate though, it would probably be better to bring a healer..? Ow, my indecisiveness.

I'll be backing Ishtar since I like her more than Reinhardt, and they're the only two I have (built).

I do not like this VG. I was really hoping to send out triple-Brazen Alfonse, but every VG entrant is a blue mage. Looks like I'll be constructing buffbot Titania ahead of schedule.

You could still send out Alfonse to counter all the enemy greens that will show up because every entrant is a blue mage.

A red seems like the perfect unit to send out when everyone will have to use a blue, though. I say send out your Brazen boy!
