Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Actually, I don't think healers are quite as bad as a lot of people say. I've been using one in arena for weeks now simply to get the bonuses, but even when they're good they're still boring. Which is a much bigger problem for me.

So what's the consensus on this Minerva lady? Just managed to pull a 5 star her on my last couple orbs. Is she probably better than Hawkeye? Life and death looks pretty decent to me but I'm not terribly well versed in what's what. Although now all I need to do is feather up lilina and I'll have a pretty good 5 star team I think

Hauteclere means she hits like a drat truck even without life/death. She's the third fastest green without it as well. Her low res is somewhat mitigated by Hauteclere and her special that reduces ranged damage. Definitely up there for one of the best greens on offense. Since she's a flyer she's not the best on defense though.

They're fine units but there are really only two ur-healers, a mounted healer and an infantry healer. I think that being unexciting is actually worse than being weak; Jaffar is bad but I'd still be happy to add one to my team, whereas I actively try to avoid putting a new healer on my roster since they have no draw to them. Dissuading people from rolling on the gacha is the cardinal sin a new unit can commit, and if they don't change healers then every healer will unavoidably do it.

Minerva's pretty good, mostly because she's flexible. Hauteclere can do almost anything by switching proc skills. Her base setup is pretty good, she struggles with archers and mages but her hp pool is pretty deep and she's very fast so sacred cowl generally lets her survive going in to do her job. I think the quickfix for her is to throw on Renewal/Bowbreaker and Threaten Speed/Defense. But you could completely rebuild her using Darting Blow/Fury and a more offensive proc skill if you wanted to.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Thanks for the Minerva input everyone! Given her larger movement range I'm really starting to lean towards death blow and maybe desperation for the b skill. Desperation only works if you're doubling though right? Otherwise I was thinking of tossing it on eldigan but since his speed isn't the highest he usually only gets one attack

Hmm so much to take into consideration now. If only I knew what playstyle I might actually be good at. Again thanks everyone!

Since Ursula is gonna drop off the bonus list whenever the blazing sword banner is done, would it work to give MRobin the blarblade I gave her? His attack is trash but I dunno if colorless advantage is super useful now that takumi isn't near as prevalent.

Linde is a better Blarblade user than MRobin if you have her. Also, don't trash Ursula. She's fairly decent for a cav unit and you can't pull any other copies of her!

The bonus units don't change until the week after the banner changes, to give people time to draw the new heroes. So hold onto her for another week at least.

Colorless adv. is still useful IMO, I still see quite a few archers and Kageros/Jaffars running around. I would also argue that the +2 isn't worth the slowdown on his special, since more often he will be able to blow one unit away than kill something with the +2 (he isn't doubling much anyway).

Blarblade would be way more than +2 Atk if you actually use its bonus at all. That said, Robin's Spd is also kind of mediocre, so he wouldn't make nearly as good of a nuker as even Ursula. He's stacked mostly towards being a physically tanky mage, which Blarraven helps with since it means he can tank the physical ranged units.

Edit: Okay, I'm just gonna say his Spd is bad. 29 is a terrible number for Spd. Fight me.

Yeah MRobin's stats are very carefully distributed to fill a very specific niche and that niche is better off with his default tome than blarblade

Does this mean I can still use my same team of Eirika, Sharena, Nino, and Rebecca this coming week? This was the first week where I had to struggle to get a good bonus unit and I was lucky enough to get Rebecca after a few pulls

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Nowi is for Xander, Roy is for Veronica, and Camilla is for that one blue mage and/or to clean up the healers? I feel like Sanaki might do better against Veronica than Roy since you can bait her for a ranged counter, and Takumi doesn't seem to be doing much for you at all. Ninian might be better than him just for the dancing (for example you could bait Veronica on turn one, finish her off on turn two if she's still alive, and dance her out of the danger zone). It's difficult for me to imagine exactly how the battle would play out though.

Edit: I have no idea how well Effie would be able to hold Xander off.

If I remember my 9-5 run right Xander is a wall on a horse to a ridiculous degree, but against a lancer it should be fine cause his attack is meh, took my Abel 2 rounds against him after baiting him first turn.

Got it after replacing Roy with Sanaki and Takumi with Ninian. Dancing let me bait out the mages super early and having two blue units let me have better weapon triangle matchups. Camilla ended up not doing much other than kiting the blue mage away from Sanaki.

Rehabilitate is also in a league of its own compared to the other heals too.

I feel like we are due for a skill pass but they are going to be really shy about it since inherits are now here.

Lucina won the female side of the poll, so y'all should have known we'd be getting another version of her. I'm curious to see if the special versions of her, Roy and Lyn have different skills from the ones already in the game or if the difference is purely cosmetic.

She came second on the poll. She won the fixed tourney thing we had earlier. Eitherway, brace for her and Bunny-boy Ike.
