<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

I recently got back into this game with the whole "NEW PLAYER SUPPORT!!!" thing they were doing a few weeks ago. I had not pulled a single 5* unit and I was against rerolling in the beginning so I was pleasantly surprised to see the game showering me in 5* units on my return. I was able to pull Gray and Delthea from the old Tempest Trial banner and Genny from Hero Fest, and they plus my old reliable workhorse 3* Barst were my team for a while. With the CYL banner I chose Ike to fill out that glaring hole in my team. I also got an Innes from the Sacred World that has been somewhat nice.

So my current team is Gray, Delthea, Bike, and Innes. Other 5* units I have are Clive (obviously), Boey, Seth, the Genny I mentioned before, and an Effie that's not very good. I have ~100 orbs and I've cleared most of the story maps and all of the Paralogues, so I don't have too many more orbs to mine that I didn't get when I was playing the game before. I'm wondering if I should be using the remainder of my orbs to try for another Brave unit or if my team is good enough and I should be saving for other things that would be better. I also have around 70,000 feathers I could be using to upgrade units, but it would take me ages to list all the 4* stuff I have tooling around, and I wish I had gotten more but the game elects to give me bronze fools at the same rate despite the upgrade.

Other than that I'm having fun and with Brave Ike on my team I actually feel like I'm doing a good job and winning a lot. It's not bad considering I was rolling with all purely 4* units before I came back.

I don't see much sense in grinding out supports now when I'm going to be running repeat maps in Tempest Trials soon and I can kill two birds with one stone that way.

You can level the 4* to 40 to check her IVs if you can't look at her lvl1 stats anymore.

-ATK is bad but if you give her TA she can still handle the occasional green Nino has problems with.

You don't need to bring her to 40. Just bring her to 20, go to the unlock potential menu, and check what her level 1 5* stats will be.

EDIT: Late

As a somewhat fresh player I'm proud of myself for managing to clear the Lunatic Bound Hero Battle. Not that I'm anywhere near doing Infernal, but at least I was able to get that much out of it.

The trick was splitting up Eirika and Ephraim, which I did by baiting the horse mage with Innes on the right side past the broken wall. Eirika tried to go for him while Ephraim followed the blue mage on the left side. From there I was able to ace the sword cavalier, finish off the horse mage, get Innes out of danger and use Delthea and Gray combined to kill Eirika.
The blue mage was softened up by a Delthea bait on the next turn as well, so beating him wasn't a problem. Ephraim than promptly ran into Ike and fell.

The game blessed me with a +Atk 5* Reinhardt this morning so I should never want for anything again. Perfect for racking up SP while also gaining Tempest Trial points. I don't have a Death Blow to pass right this second, but I'll find something for him.

Also his Goad Cavalry makes Eliwood less of a load since I don't want to bother promoting him.

So I had a funny moment today where my friend came over and we did some summons for kicks. My second summon was a +Atk -Def Brave Lyn, and his second summon was a Neutral Brave Ike. That was just... very funny.

I also got a Gordin before Lyn so I'm thinking of spending feathers on him so I can sacrifice him for the Brave Bow on Lyn. That's worth it, right? I have a LOT of feathers and nothing to really use them on right now so...

I'm still climbing up the tiers. Going from 17 to 18 should be really easy when I only need to be in the top 50%. And that's when you start getting 4 orbs per season, which is really what I'm after more than the feathers.

I also finally used some of my feathers to sacrifice a Gordin to get Brave Lyn a Brave Bow. It's still going to take some time to learn it, but the option will be there.

I saved up a whole mess of orbs, spent about 100 on only Blues and Reds, and haven't gotten a 5* yet. What a world. I know I'm setting up for disappointment, but I want to get at least something. Come on, Elincia.

My current team has been BIke, Reinhardt, Bow Lyn, and MMarth. However, I'm wondering if there's still any room for Delthea in this comp. I gave her my summoner support and I'm currently unsure if she has a place with all the good luck I've had around the CYL stuff. I do well enough in Arena and stuff, but I feel like she's pointless compared to Reinhardt... but I do so love her buffing abilities...

I have 80,000 feathers and I have to save half of those for the Xander/Camus reprisals down the line, but the others are fair game. Probably not going to think about it for a while though.

My team's apparently good enough to hit scores of 700 against arena enemies? I'm even using Alphonse, though I did at least round out his skills a bit. Still, I don't know if I want to be going against teams like that too much. I guess it doesn't matter since I am in Tier 20, and I was expecting to fall back to 19 regardless, but I'll ride it out.

It's pretty awkward to get two red Armor units back to back in a Tempest Trial, but hey, it works I guess. Still wonder what the schedule looks like. I guess they didn't want to reveal it earlier in the month because of all this unexpected excitement.

I'm starting to build my Arvis as well, but it's a lot of investment just to get his normal skills for the time being. I'd like to get his 4* butt to level 40 before promoting just for the extra help, but he's a really bad match (at least at the moment) for the final Warriors map.

Fury + Recovery Ring seems like a great investment though, I can finally not be afraid to use some of my Hinatas that are everywhere.

I managed to beat Lunatic Ursula after only four or so tries. The key ended up being a small speed buff to Reinhardt allowing him to quad the Green Armor, and from there I could clean up with more offense.

Infernal seems pretty hard, so I'll probably not bother with it too much. After how many tries it took me to get through Arvis's, and with how specific people's setups seem to be for it, I think I'm good leaving it be for now.
