Right now my arena strategy is to let Lucina, Camilla, and Takumi smash into the enemy and die, then let Effie just sweep up what's left.

It works ~90% of the time.

Effie is fantastic

Is an attack minus Summer Leo worth anything, or should I just stick his attack ploy on Nino to make her more survivable? Not sure who else I would even put it on.

Finally got another Brave hero!

It's -atk Lucina. Another 5 star lance to throw in the pile.

I like Lucina as a character and I'm still going to level her up, but I don't think she'll knock off Ephraim as a buffbot I staple to Nino on my non-Horse Emblem teams.

I hope I never lack a tempest trial bonus unit from the higher tier ever again. It's crazy how much difference a mere one or two hundred points makes on how quick this poo poo goes, especially when you factor in the triple score runs.

Especially when one of them is a dancer. Ninian and Brave Bow Lyn are basically speedrunning this for me.

I already have too many blue lances, but it is going to be very difficult to resist whaling for the truest and best Fire Emblem monster, Nephenee.

Someone in Tier 20 is so committed to Boey they made him their Bow Lyn counter: Gronnraven+, TA3, Bowbreaker, the whole works.

Olivia baited and killed him immediately.

Tempest Trials always push me to build some neat squads, so now I have Arden and Arvis being airlifted around maps by Tana and Inigo and having kind of a blast with it. I really want to play around with Guidance Michalis on an armor team now.

Since Arvis turned out to not be an armor mage, who should get the Close Counter off of the Takumi I'm going to mulch? Leon seems like he has enough defense to make it work, or I could make Innes a dragon slayer.

I still need to decide how to upgrade Neph's Slaying Lance. Part of me wants to upgrade defense to get that number as high as possible, but she's already not taking damage at 40 def and I'd like her to be able to tank more dragons.

Nephenee is the rare physical unit that prefers Fury to distant counter. She can take on and beat anything that isn't a green dragon at close range, but she needs allies who can take on mages to fit in a team.

Running an armor team? I have +5 5* merges on 3 dragons, and Hana at 4*+6, gave me 4900 (without any rerolling). Currently rank 9754 of 12696 though, so all's well.

Vanguard Ike, Myrrh, Fjorm and Micaiah, which lets me turn armor teams into goo.

Since she is my first sweepy sword lord, Celica seems pretty fun.

It probably won't come up much but it looks like if there is a tie for most speed on a team Chill Speed will debuff them both , which is cool.

Move Ayra and Tana horizontal to the forest tile across the river, the pegasus will suicide onto Ayra, move Tana up and guidance over into the forest, the green armor suicides onto Ayra, then use Tana and Ayra to bring down the red armor.

Does 3572 sound like enough to go from 19->20? Arena was actually fun this week. Ran Fir, Linus, Ninian, and Veronica. It was actually a lot of fun.
