Darting Blow is close to Fury tier as a budget skill imo.

Things that are basically useless to inherit outside of gimmicks: Defiant skills, Seal skills, Blow skills that don't give atk or spd, Harsh Command, Shove, boring Tomes(Fenrir+/Shine+/etc), most Daggers, Light Breath, defensive Specials, AoE Specials*, Brash Assault, Lunge, Knock Back, Obstruct, Pass, Poison Strike, Water/Windsweep, Breath of Life, Savage Blow*

*: these are useful in Grand Conquests

Fury isn’t a budget skill though, it’s the premier skill for like half the heroes in the game

I only really like fury on units with a B skill that rewards low HP and who have three non-trash stats. In practice that usually just means offensive mages.

I really regret not 5*'ing A!Tiki. I think I'm just going to eat the 20k feather loss purely for aesthetic reasons (4*+10 A!Tiki is already perfectly capable of destroying just about anything).

No Counterattack Pain staff users with double Savage Blow plus Poison Strike are infuriating. Especially if they're on a horse.

Admittedly more of a Defense Team thing, or a select few other situations, but after running into that poo poo even once I've been considering building one.

My Elise is great for anything outside of Arena. Nothing like dropping nukes in Grand Conquest.

Tons of frustrating Chain Challenges and figuring out how to get the Legendary Hero missions complete to get orbs.

I get nothing that I want and end up with like 5 more Male Robins.

Maybe if I can ever figure out good teams for Squad Assault without having to rely too much on SI i can really get some more orbs quickly. Nobody ever put guides out for those did they?

I wouldn't change these friends for anything.
If anyone on Team Ike needs more blues or just wants this boy to tank magic all day, you can add him at 6886512148!


I also have some decent options for green (M!Grima, Airzura) and colorless (Quadelia + wrazzle dazzle versions of Genny, Bride Lyn, and Elise) if anyone ends up needing help with those quests!

During the last Voting Gauntlet I was hoping to have enough merges on my Odin to show him off by the next one, but the poor guy's been stuck at +4 forever and not for lack of feathers. Ever since the pool change I've been struggling to roll a lot of units I used to get plenty of before; I've got a pretty bad dearth of positioning skills in particular. Someday, though... someday...

I'm glad you like him, because I haven't gotten around to using him for Arena yet! Not enough duplicates to merge him up and I've been focusing my feathers on getting Nowi to +10 first.

This is so dumb but I can tell I'm gonna be having so much fun with him so it'll all be worth it :allears: Also, test run/proof of concept:



Spur/Drive Atk stacking at work. Now sure it's blue against low-ish Res red, but Tiki's on a defense tile and Odin's got 35 base Atk, yet he's overkilling her by a fair bit. He's got a full +27 Atk from this position and I haven't even added the third Drive Atk or S-supported him with Fjorm. Even with only 1 adjacent ally he's still got a +23. Once he hits +10, I might even give him the Heavy Blade seal for Aether on second combat, and he could totally realistically proc it. :allears:

And now I play the waiting (for merges) game...

This would be nice, but it wouldn't be a balance-neutral change because it'd alter Arena Assault and Squad Assault strategies

They'd just have to code it so that seals that have already been used are autoremoved in those modes. Kinda like how they already check if you've used that character already.

drat, I recently built my Marth and was just going to sing my praises of him last night before I passed out.

When the new MCorrin refine came out, I thought about marrying him to Nowi as a buffbot to cover her color weaknesses. Then I stopped and looked at my box and realized Marth was just flat-out better as a support unit. He buffs (-2 to all stats in exchange for buffing everyone), he heals, and he beats up dragons very efficiently. I've started taking him to every arena fight now.

Marth is low-key one of the best support units. Sorely underrated, imo.

(Also I sent you a friend request (from id Palmolive) because I wanted to try out your NYCamilla for ideas on building mine, but you're repping Cordelia?)

If ever there was a buffbot tier list, Marth and Eirika would be the right there permanently in S-tier, imo.

I tend to shuffle my units around during gauntlets, but I'll keep Camilla active for a little while for you.

Since we're on the topic, I'll also take the chance to warn people who are trying for Y!Tiki on the Legendary banner to pace themselves, as there's a New Power banner coming up that Y!Tiki and maybe A!Tiki are likely to be on because of their(?) new PRF dragonstone. You may or may not want to hoard/try for other things with that in mind.

Or the most likely option, they cop out by giving us Aversa and Maribelle
