The same could be said for basically any character. Most people don't read more than 2 supports in the grand fandom.

I mean, there's a reason Robin is in the final as well. The dude's personality is "generally bewildered" at best.

I like Robin in Awakening, but let's not pretend that most fans are voting on personality here.

He's in the final because he was in Smash Bros, and was the self-insert for Awakening, the game that many players started with.

My point exactly? I'm just saying he doesn't have much to go on besides that. "Tip the scales" is a good phrase, though. I agree with that.

Anyways, back to the fun part of this game. I have enough feathers to promote two to gold, any suggestions? I have:

Sharena
Reinhardt
Xander
Nino
M!Robin
Ursula
Zephiel
Jeorge
and a Cherche I've been trying to meme with.

I'll need to double check, but I'm fairly sure he's a +spd. Is that still viable?

I'd hold out on anything other than +atk. He's 4* so you'll get more eventually. On that list, Sharena is a good choice, as is +spd Nino (Nino is also good but again why waste feathers when you'll get more of her eventually)

I think I will continue
watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
A: Still waiting on Hector in the gauntlet... all other flags from me are "meh, they'll probably go far."

B: I'll have enough feathers to 5* someone again after this gauntlet. Who should i 5*?

My main team is usually Ursula with Dragon Gaze (didn't have enough sp to get better), stock hawkeye or camilla depending, a 40+1 lucius (I'm not fond of lucius), and either little tiki or caeda.
(Almost all of those were before inherit skill so they're stock. I play slowly.)

I do have an azura, a hector (w/bonfire), and a roy to train up.

Since i have a dearth of casters and colorless, I was thinking of promoting:
4* 40 cecilia or 4* 40 merrick (leaning towards cecilia),
4* 40 setsuna (can't give BB+ as i have no other archer 5*s) or a jeorge i am training to 40,
4* 38 (gonna get to 40) Matthew with death blow (thinking about dragon gaze)
4* 40 wrys (who had a ton of extra sp so i gave him threaten attack and defiant defense. He's my goddam all-star, has more hero merit than anyone else).

Opinions? I know I'm not optimized or min/maxed, i didn't even bother looking at IVs 'cuz I'm not that serious. I just want to round out my team with a good player.

Sharena is good. If you're hard up for mages I would probably roll on these banners assuming you're hoarding orbs instead of running dry

Sharena has been in my arena team since the beginning and she's never underperformed, she's great.

I just wish there was a chance to get extra units of her for merging.

Would it be too threatening to whale supremacy if you could do something like spend 20k feathers to +1 a character with 2k hero merit, and then reset their merit to 0?

I'm a grad student with not enough time to play to get the things i want. The only reason i could put together such a long post was because I got sick of sieving ground rock and decided to get a couple beers. Gonna head back to work now, and roll on the banners when i can.

Arena in general is pretty hard with no ranged units

My first half a dozen or so five stars were all melee and at some point I decided I'd rather run a 4 star ranged unit than an all melee comp

E: and at the time, I didn't realize it would make my opposition easier, either

Ran into my first whale 690 team with +4/5 Nino, Roy, RobinM and Ninian.

Still an easy victory. Go go tank team!

Really glad Subaki's a bonus unit, these next two weeks should be easy.

I believe the next banners are "Vs. Lloyd" and whatever the hell the "Weapon Triangle" banner entails. Probably going to be people with the gem weapons or some other gimmick related to the weapon triangle.

I'm considering properly kitting out my Cherche. I stuck her on Team Flier Emblem to try and make those 10th Stratum quests less painful. I was having a devil of a time with... part 5 Lunatic? The Mountains of Whatever map, the one you have to beat with a an axe user without losing anyone. I fielded Cherche and Subaki, and then kited the enemies around the mountain range and laughed, picking them off where I could and having Olivia Dance them out of the way. It was magical.

She already ate Raven for his Brave Axe so when I get the spare feathers I can at least make her 4*. Cherche is good.
