Hahaha, pretty much! I even hand Ninian eat her son for Triangle Adept. I regret nothing.

What's a good B passive for Reinhardt? I was thinking B Tomebreaker.

That's what I was planning to give mine. Seems like a good idea, but I hear Vantage actually works pretty well. Haven't tested it out because mine isn't even 5* yet and doesn't have any inherited skills.

If you care about arena score, running a 3* Olivia will tank that.

Hinoka is also the only source of hone fliers if flier emblem interests you. The other guys also have some pretty good inherited skills and Klein isn't a bad unit by himself either.

I want a Ninian because I want a 5 star dancer and I have interest in toying around with Dragon Emblem and I want a Hinoka because I think that's the only thing I'm missing from Flier Emblem. Also Klein is either the best or second best archer in the game, probably, and has good skills to feed other characters.

I also pulled a Caeda so now I have everything Flier Emblem could want other than maybe Cherche. Might actually be cool to set something up for that now.

Actually, how essential is Bunnilla to Flier Emblem? I feel like as the only ranged flier, she's probably pretty important? The only bunny I pulled was Blucina, does that sink any flier emblem plans?

Bunilla is the unit that holds the whole thing together. You can run flier emblem without her but it is a lot worse.

I mean if you've drawn Cordelia and Hinoka then you can try for some of the amazingly meme based Cordelia builds. Like Olivia/Cordelia/Hone Flier Camilla or Cherche functions because Cordelia will just straight kill three units in one turn.

Well, Lloyd was easy. Male Robin lured the horse archer and killed him immediately, then Klein (I think this is the first time I used him since the arena where he was a bonus unit) killed the dragon knight and Olivia danced him to kill Lloyd. Nino then killed the Lance horseman. Finally, Nino killed the blue mage. Done Lunatic in 5 turns.

Considering she has a Unique Weapon, she's probably going to be a flying sword lord. I totally want to see if her weapon's effect will be a brave effect like it is in her native games, imagine a brave weapon with 16 (as all close up unique weapons have) Might.

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

It's probably not gonna be that much. Olwen and Reinhardt's Dire Thunder wasn't 14 MT despite being a unique weapon for them after all.

If they did make a Brave unique melee weapon, it'll probably just be a Brave Sword+ with some bonus effect tacked onto it. They couldn't make it any higher than 8 Mt without making it 'better' than all the other legendaries.

Hmmm, point, though Hauteclere and Mystletainn are 16 MT Killer weapons, I suppose asking for a 16 MT Brave weapon is too much... 13 or 12 MT then? Or perhaps, in a surprise twist, they could make it a brave weapon without the speed penalty, meaning 8 MT but without the brave weapon downsides.

This is all assuming they don't give it some sort of weird effect of course. Insofar as I can tell however, the unique weapons get given an effect related to their game when they had something special about them in the game other than just being strong, Hauteclere got the killer weapon effect because it had high crit (like killer weapons) for example, and all the Distant Counter swords (there's what, 3 of them?) were 1-2 range weapons in their games. But hey, you never know, they might not make Ammati (that was Elincia's sword right?) a brave weapon, though odds seem reasonable it will be.

Dire thunder is considered a unique weapon. It has 2mt more than brave bows (tomes and bows have the same mt normally)

She'd better be, I'm still a little annoyed from Lachesis being a healer when her base class used Swords and Staves and her promotion could use straight up every weapon and tome type.

At least they are good to munch for skills :p
(I think they are the "good but not great" units, but I am kinda mediocre at this, so what do I know? The value likey depends on what else you have anyway, and whether they can fill out a team or specialized roles for GHB).

Not really. If you are desperate for a red unit, Adult Tiki can do work for you until you pick up something better. Cordelia wants +Atk unless you have Flier Emblem buffs. Cherche needs to inherit a Brave Axe+ and ideally wants to be +Atk. Palla is inheritance fodder.

Not even close to her worst nature, +SPD is really good for Nowi since it means she gets doubled a lot less. -ATK is obviously not ideal, but my Nowi has the same exact nature and does just fine in arena.

hello
I'm learning some interesting things about using a healer in Arena with Genny. Rehabilitate is incredibly underwhelming for Hector and Lucina. Rehabilitate is the worst heal in the game for when you're trying to top Hector to 80% hp or above, but he isn't below 50% hp. And it's entirely useless for Lucina who can self heal and is never in need of a big Rehabilitate. RIP Lissa and 450 SP. You died in vain.
