Mkv doing all of Squad Assault with just free 3* units.

Really wish I had known about this dude a while ago. I've missed out on quite a bit of stuff thinking I needed 5* dudes to even try these events.

Tried subbing Sonya for Ursula and it doesn't work for me because my Sonya is -Spd :negative:

Woohoo! Did it with Shinji117's strat and some fiddling with skill slots to work with my Sonya. Seal Speed 1 dropped Berkut's speed enough to double him on the second attack and kill him with special proc. Ran into a problem then with needing two attacks to bring down the archer, so the axe cav would crush Sonya next turn. Olivia could block but axe cav would special on the second hit, killing Olivia. It hit me on my drive home that axe breaker would let her take only one hit, so now for the first time I've got all 3 units from the GHB instead of just the 3*.

Finally pulled a focus (Mathilda) off of Alm's banner, so probably gonna start saving up orbs for whatever inevitable fall holiday costumes banner pops up.

Was gonna ask if/when repeats of grand hero battles might start popping up but it looks like Lloyd will be up again with an infernal difficulty added in. I've missed quite a few of these so hopefully we'll see more repeats every once in a while.

They ought to come up with a second use for badges, they accumulate way faster than you can get feathers to use them.

Whatever sacred coins are for I'll never have. Also, drat that swimsuit banner for having another flying tome user, rarities like that suck me in to drawing. Presumably they'll have the remainder of the "Deft" weapons and valor skills.

Streams over, what was your favorite announcement? Mine was the free summon.

Tempest trial changes are big for me. Bonus units get bonus stats and bonus points for the first 2 runs will probably get me to the first seal or possibly the 5* hero next time.

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?

getting 2,000 points each on my first two runs of the day makes tempest trials much cooler, and more good

The triple points bonus is very cool and good. Same for the bonus unit stats, base 4* Berkut tanks everything pretty well. I'll manage to hit all the seals just running one bar of stamina on hard 5s each day.

Just putting out my guess for the function of sacred coins with the first arena assault reaching the end: I think they'll be for upgrading seals. I find the enumeration of the squad ace seals is a little suspicious.

Upgrading the trio is worth both for easy arena bonus units and for GHB missions. And random missions that involve them.

Pulled a +Def/-Spd BIke and that doesn't feel like a bad IV, seems like he can almost benefit from getting doubled with Steady Breath and the cooldown accel from his weapon. Been grinding him through the towers and it's amazing to see his special go off 3 times in a round.

Well, still don't have Lyn, but I just got Ike and Roy in the same pull! Not bad.

...Except that they're both minus attack, I mean. Ah well.

Same happened to me, I pulled a couple rounds on the trial banner to try for a 40% bonus unit and got Lyn, minus attack of course. At least I pulled my first Athena with her for a sword XP mom, also minus attack :[

Pulled Azura (+res/-spd) and Inigo (+spd/-res) in my first 50ish, dumped another 50ish trying for Oliva but no luck. I'll probably save up through October and flush the rest of those trying for Olivia on the last day. I just kinda like the idea of having a colorless options for a dancer. I suppose I'll be dissapponted if there's a halloween banner coming up after this.

If anyone hasn't tried it yet, that fast leveling on the warriors maps is incredible. I only wish I had more weapon valor skills cause watching my axe dudes get all those +12s with the weekend bonus is great.

E: just to expose it again:

quote:

Lv.1 - Lv.11 -> Part 1 (Normal)
Lv.11 - Lv.19 -> Part 4 (Normal)
Lv.19 - Lv.24 -> Part 5 (Normal)
Lv.24 - Lv.30 -> Part 2 (Hard)
Lv.30 - Lv.36 -> Part 5 (Hard)
Lv.36 - Lv.39 -> Part 1 (Lunatic)
Lv.39 - Lv.40 -> Part 5 (Hard) and earning SP as well

With about 60 stamina, you'll bring one level 1 hero to level 40

Also seemed better to me to just grind through part 5 hard all the way to 40 if you have the stamina and want to farm sp anyway.

Some of the sacred seals forge costs leaked. Creating a Lv1 seal costs 100 badges/20 great badges/20 sacred coins. Leveling up a seal to Lv 2 costs 200 badges/60 great badges/50 sacred coins. I don't know how much the level 3 upgrade cost, but I suspect it's 300 badges/100 great badges/80 sacred coins. So you'll need 600 badges + 180 great badges + 150 sacred coins minimum to get a level 3 Urvan-like seal. That's one way to make badges useful, I guess.

Guess I can make a good seal about every 3 months, probably longer if AA popularity shoots up and it's harder to get a moderate ranking.

I'll probably have to just hope for an Arya later when I'm fishing for more reds. I got lucky with a B!Roy (-Def/+Res; it's not -Spd/Atk so I'm glad) with what I spent but I still want to save for more potential dancer banner pulls. She's got such a good base kit though.
