Also yeah bow Lyn is pretty rad so far. Is desperation the goto b skill or are most of yall sticking with her built in? Or something else im not thinking of? She sure does make a great pair with rein though jinkies

The default is both good and absurd, so I'm keeping it.

I might actually keep her whole kit and just add a draw back or something.

I'll give her the Brave Bow kit but I'll probably use her regular bow and skills because I like how her bow looks.


Also, I'm ranked 387 in team Lyn. Feeling pretty happy about that.

I'm keeping her default (+draw back) for now. Already have bridelia and am not a big fan of removing her next-level power creep weapon just yet. Plus no spare brave bow+.

Sent you a request as well. These three Hector matches have to stop. I'm using a Brave Lance Tana as my lead right now since I'm seeing so many red units.

Edit: 6280012101 is my code, in case someone on Team Hector wants some assistance. Cleared out some people who haven't played the game in a long time, so I have some spots left on my friend list.

So, who gets this hone cav i have sitting around and who gets this fortify cav I'm about to get? I guess i have this 4* 40 gunter too, so i have 2 hones.

-blade 4*cecilia (has fort res)
-blade+ ursula
Brave+ 4*Freddy+2 (has fort def)
Our boy roy

Xander already has hone, clive has fort.
I'm thinking hone on roy, fort on lyn? Then maybe another hone on ursula?

the bow lyn i pulled had slightly worse than neutral ivs (+hp/-def) but the upshot is i can grind hella sp on both before merging, theyre both like 35+ now and one has lad3 and the other has brave bow+ and its gonna own when i merge them

Well I didn't end up getting SCorrin, but I did break my pity rate on her banner with an Azura, so that's alright. I only wanted SCorrin for being a tome flier anyway, I can live without her. Got a -Atk YTiki I can feed to my slightly better one with my free pull on the voting gauntlet lady banner.

So I figured I'm going to wait until the main CYL banner goes away before I choose on the free banner. My free pull on the main banner was Brave Ike. +Atk/-Res. Frankly I think I can stop complaining about constant bad IVs for at least a month.

Bow Lyn might be the new hotness, but the default state for any archer going up against a buffed Xander/Camus/Hector is a reddish smear on the ground. Her B skill is the only thing keeping her pitiful def and hp from being crippling in the current Arena meta.

After picking Lyn for the free hero, I spent over 350 orbs on this banner and got:

Lyn (+Spd/-Res, -Atk/+Res, -HP/+Atk) Debating whether the first or last one is the best, leaning towards the first, though she loses 4 res instead of the standard 3 for that bane

Ike (+Atk/-Def) Kind of wish he was -Res instead but he still seems good?

Roy (-Hp/+Spd) With Steady blow he'll have 41 Spd so I'm pretty happy

Lucina (+Atk/-Res) Her res is already garbage so this is fine

Off-Banner
Maria (+HP/-Spd) the price of chasing Lyn
Effie (-Atk/+Spd) I already have a +Atk/-Spd one so this had Death Blow fodder written all over her

I got the Ike and Roy within the first hundred orbs, but I REALLY wanted a Lucina because she looks super cool in that armor so I kept pulling Blue and Colorless until I got her and it took me forever to do it, but I picked up 3 extra Lyns on the way and DB3, and when I finally got her, the IVs weren't bad so I can't complain too much.

Can confirm, my unbuffed hector laughed at her arrows and then blew her up with his laser eyes.

E: wowzas, hector started getting trounced with Chrom's last bonus.

Even if I don't plan on giving her Brave Bow? With Brave Bow, she'd had 48 attack and 35 Speed with LaD which seems like of underwhelming unless I use horse buffs

My +spd BCordelia hits 48 atk/38 spd. In any practical scenario, she has enough atk, but she doesn't always have enough speed in PvE stuff. +atk will be marginally better in arena (you'll be able to weaken wary fighter armors a bit more to enable team-up kills slightly better) but in tempest trials/chain challenge/whatever you absolutely want every point of speed you can eke out

Freddie isn't a bad unit to have too many of. For one, Luna fodder. For another, he's a pretty decent unit in his own right. Make something of your infinite Freddies! Pick the one with the best nature (he wants +atk), give the man a Brave Axe, and get to merging! If you can get all the way to 4* +10, then that's the same as having a 5*+5. Then you have a very nice unit to slot into a Cav team, if you so choose. Or just a mobile damage dealer who can zip around the map and axe your enemies a question (twice).

Plus he wears a tuxedo under his armor. Dude's classy.

I guess I'll train both the +Spd and +Atk Lyns up to 40 tomorrow during the double SP period and see what I I think about them before I merge or inherit skills.

Tempted to keep the -Atk/+Res one around as skill inheritance for swift sparrow but I also want a stronger Lyn. If I only merged her once, would she get +1 to Atk and Spd or Hp and Spd? I think it goes off her neutral stats and her HP and Atk are tied at 35 and I think HP takes priority?

The problem is I've been saving the Brave Axe+ I have floating around for a good Cherche. But I still haven't pulled one of her with a +ATK nature, so I'll look at my Fred hoard and see if any of them are +ATK/-RES. If I've got one of those I'll build him.

I don't really need much Luna fodder anymore because I've already used a ton of Freds for that already! The man just won't leave me alone.

EDIT: Like 5 of them are +ATK, what the hell? None of them are -RES though. Is this where all my IV luck has been going instead of my Cherches? I'm so mad.

... That's a really good point, actually. I do have quite a few Cherches sitting around as well, so I think I'm just going to build up a neutral one for now and merge them until I pull a +ATK one. I could really use a flier that doesn't suck. Maybe I'll feed her one of the Freddies for Luna after all! Thanks for your help guys.

Holy poo poo MRobin is bad, an unbuffed Tharja without a special charged one-shot him in gauntlet. I had 2 tharjas and a Henry (what the gently caress random player) against a MRobin, Kagero, and Lilina. By the end, I only had a Tharja left and was resigned to losing but them Robin attacked her and killed himself while leaving her with 6 hp. I assumed he had TA Blarraven but I guess not and now I'll ever know.

So I'm having fun smashing faces in with Hector/regular Ike and going through the story quests when I have the stamina. Is there anything I need to be doing regularly that I might miss?

I did the Gunter special maps that were about to expire and started on the daily maps. I used up my three Arena fights and it appears those refresh daily? I also hopped into the Voting Gauntlet and did a battle of that. When I get to 20 orbs I do a pull on the New Heroes: Brave Heroes banner and pull all the blues/greens.
