I really like this mode. Got 4612 score first time since I used a low BST starting team and lost two units along the way.

Edit: I was rank 1 briefly

The only type of unit my squad is really lacking is a red mage, the best I currently have is a -Spd Lilina. So, of course, I pull a -Atk Celica. At least I have something for bonus points now!

Being able to see the enemy team makes this much more manageable than I thought it would be.

And how.

I am also very thankful I have a good number of max-leveled green units because, boy-howdy, that's a lot of Reinhardts.

got 4742 by leading with a no-inheritance team. Now that I have a completed run, I can experiment with how far I can push my score. Going too high means I'll run into nothing but meta teams which I definitely can't handle; the only way I got through this one is there were 3-4 teams I could underdeploy against safely. My +2 ATiki even soloed a map! (well I deployed a healer alongside her just in case but she could have soloed it)

e: the fact that you get the consumables by doing arena assault means that you can grind away at it with the hope of eventually getting the right combination of items that'll let you win. This is a really well designed piece of content in general imo

The hell? There's a team of three blues (including Rein) and a Hector. Ah well, Tobin's time to shine!

E: Tobin couldn't even get up to Hector, The Effie and Robin clogged the center area after I killed the Rein.

Lost 3 units, got 4579 points and now have one heal and two dancer items. Healing is going to be bad, given how Rocket Taggy Arena is but "One random ally that has already acted gets to move again" seems really really good.

Stahl off the free pull. With the crazed rate they put out banners you should average a free 5* every month and a half or so I think

I got a bad score because I lead with all my good units and picked beginner every time, but you get a bare minimum of 10 sacred coins per week so I'm not excessively fussed and/or invested in this new mode.

Also I got into tier 20 (with zero chance of staying in it) with a score of 4826 so anybody 60 or more points above me wasn't even close to not making it.

Sonya off the free pull, nice! -hp+res, that's not bad for her default setup I'd say.

Is she a +20 or 40 for the TT?

Got a free Sonya via pull, but she's +HP, -Spd.
Any real difference between her and my +Def, -Spd Julia?

Use both since both are Rein counters for arena assault

Seriously, Rein counters are worth their weight in gold in arena assault.

On my 4792 run I fought 5 reins (and a single Olwen) in 7 matches.

Got a *4 MCorrin off the free roll, and like the two *5 MCorrins I already had, he's -ATK. If I ever get a MCorrin with good IVs I'm using that fucker out of sheer spite.

Edit: Arena Assault makes me glad I have Julia, Nino and Sonya fully built. Also have a *5 Soren I could give some skills.

And if that wasn't funny, there were lots of things that weren't even funnier...
Looking at those top scoring player's builds are crazy, I'm just hoping to get in that lowest bracket. Hopefully whatever coins are spent on doesn't cost more than a months worth. I guess the strat is to farm items with low level groups and eventually go big?

I'm assuming that arena assault rankings will mostly stabilize after about 48 hours since people who want to do it will mostly be doing it right away, whereas with normal arena even a dedicated player might not get their deathless run until late in the week

the boat map can stay but it should delete your account if you use a horse team on defense during a season when it's up

It can stay as long as if doesn't pop up twice and/or as the last map. Like it's been doing to me for the last 4 attempts at Arena Assault. :shepicide:

Good to hear! I've actually been breaking her away from my Armour team because defensive-tile baiting is just that funny/effective.

That's pretty much what I did. Planted her on a defensive tile where she killed three units of different colors alone.

The gently caress are with the rates in the free pull? I got a random 5* Celica in my throwaway account (which is starting to get filled with way better units than my main account).

main account got a Sully. Goddamn, please let me have units that are new.

Fae is another unit I'm thinking about building, but mine is +ATK/-SPD which makes me wonder if I'm better off putting TA3 on her because she's getting doubled by everything anyway. We really need Hone Dragons for all these slow dragons.

After a few failed tries I got a 4830 score in the new arena. Almost ruined my deathless streak on the last map by miscalculating how far the enemy could move with Sing, but thankfully Bride Caeda with her default tome hits like a wet noodle.

Same. I get to the last map and think "time to pull out my second-best sword, since I already used Xander," survey my theoretically plentiful options, and realize Alfonse is the clear winner.
