I got bow lynn and axe Ike, I also have a sword Ike. Should I spend my free pick on Lance Lucina? I'm pretty casual so not looking to minmax. I do have Lance Beach Robin.

That's a pretty good idea, especially if you don't care about IVs of your units.

Lancina is a great unit.

Also octopus robin makes kitting out lance units so easy. I love it.

Have you grabbed a boat between your jaws, like enormous sheers, and bit the craft completely in twain?

Because if you have, you're a whale. And probably being hunted by Gregory Peck.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaame. I have sunk every Orb I've earned on his Tempest banner, pulling only greens and NO HECTOR.

I've gotten some good Skill Inheritance fodder, though.



And Freddie is coming along nicely, too. I just wish I could get a Hector already...

Sometimes the gacha just likes to toy with you. Took me three Lucina banners and three 5* Tharjas to get my first Lucina, and then she ended up being neutral.. right after they gave a neutral Lucina to everyone during the first Tempest Trials.

I hope my Ninian has been helpful to some of you folks....

In other B th Chng news, I encountered this in the Arena today:



Username was "PlsBuffOdin."

I felt sorry for beating him... And I would have sent him a friend request but my list is full. :smith: You do you, Odin guy. I support your efforts.

So here are my four projects. Clarisse and Palla are essentially done, ATiki needs a CSkill and maybe some small changes, and Fir, as already mentioned, needs the most?



Palla has unlearned Darting Blow 3 and Reposition, just so it's clear.

Edit: Clarisse just toppled a Ryoma and Clive and it felt so good.

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

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Back on Team Hector, I had exactly one friend on the team, and they had a fully skill inherited Palla with a Wo Dao+. And she was completely useless in every battle. Maybe she's good on a flier team, but it was pretty disappointing.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
I just got wrecked in Arena Assault by Guidance for the first time. I thought I was all top poo poo for baiting Tana with Anna, but it turns out she had Hit and Run and a Firesweep Lance so she smacked my Anna in the face and then telefragged her with a nearby Lucina.

Moral of the story: check skills, lads. Also, build that yourself because that's awesome.

Yeah, Palla definitely needs a hone atk or hone fliers to be helpful. It's why she's not my leadout unit.

Alrighty, with the arena rewards I'm back up to 20k feathers again, so I figure I'll sit back and wait to see if Titania's a bonus unit for the upcoming Tempest. If she is, then it's time to promote that 4* +atk version and make project: Axemom a reality.

I've got almost 20k feathers again! Time to think about who to promote next. Right now, my best option are make Xandy-boy a +1... or wait for the stats on the Black Knight. If he has Distant Counter baked into his weapon, it miiiiiight be a better idea to save my feathers for him.

Leaning towards promoting the other Xander anyway, atm. Xander is more immediately useful to me.

I have drawn two 4* Titanias fishing for Hector and they are BOTH -atk. :( At this rate my best bonus unit for the next tempest will be... Soren.

Depends on whether your roster has any major holes in it. My current bugbear is trying to get enough good 5*s and 4*+es to get through hard mode arena assault without turning into pudding. I've got plenty of lances (who doesn't), a decent number of axes and swords, one each of the dancers and nowhere near enough mages (but who does?)

If it's and consolation, Soren's not bad, he sits right in the middle ground between Julia and Nino statwise. With the Tempest buffs he'll be a goddamn wrecking ball.

Yeah, that's the thing. I can't think of any glaring holes I have in my roster other than just more lv 40 skill inherited units for Arena Assault or whatever. And I'm working on a second horse team so that'll help for such things.

So I was thinking I'd make my best units even better. Xander is certainly one of my best units and the cav team could use some merges so I can actually get a decent Arena score while using them. Yeah I use a horse team as a crutch to get easy Arena wins. Don't judge me. :colbert: Mama needs the feathers.

Similar for Lucina, but with one Effie friend who eventually I had to unfriend in order to get the colourless and green quests done, which felt a little unfair to them.

Hmm time to start deciding what IV to roll on Freddy: +ATK (which makes him near Cherche level) or +SPD (which leaves him at an almost respectable 29 SPD)?

Also I might decide to sack my 5* Camilla for a Brave Axe+. She's +DEF/-SPD, which is kind of... eh.
