It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
I somehow beat the Infernal with Xander, Camus, Cecilia and Olwen. I had Xander go to the left to bait and Camus go up just where the green mage couldn't reach. Then the enemy team became split enough to kite and kill off.

If I have Reinhardt is Camus necessary? Also who are good options besides the two there and Xander? I have Titania, Elise, Ursula, Olwen, and 4* Cecilia (which I can rank up if i use Reinhardt in lieu of Camus)

What would you need Camus for if you have a Reinhardt?

Rein knocks Camus into the fourth slot, so he's there for quests and GHBs but not for arena when there's another bonus unit on.

Yeah and I thought Setsuna's attack was worse than it is but my +Atk/-Res one would have the same attack at cap with 3 more speed.

Still not great compared to BCordelia's insane spread but I dunno it's probably funny :shrug:

34 vs 37 speed is a massive difference when it comes to doubling.

So who should my third be, with Xander and Rein, then? Cecilia Titania or Elise I'm thinking. Elise is already 5* level 36 and has Wrathful Staff (I was building her for the gauntlet), Titania is already 5* (I have two, neutral and -HP +Res) and Cecilia is 4* (Spd+/Def-). I have the feathers to make her 5*.

Elise is your best bet as-is, I'd say. Cecilia needs a +atk iv to shine, and even then doesn't need to be promoted to 5*, since you can make her a 4*+lots with little difficulty. Your Titanias can do plenty of work, but probably need a rebuild; neither's got a good iv, but neither's bad so :shrug:

Beat Infernal with Xander/Camus/Elise/Olivia. Elise with Rehabilitate is pretty nice in some of these longer battles, Xander went to 1 hp eventually through Fury and Elise was able to completely heal him up. Dope.

Try out the arena a little bit, and see how common Reinharts are in your tier. Titania will never lose to any Reinhart Variant, unless she's already weakened from something else. Of the two Titanias, I would suggest the -HP/+Res version, since you'd mainly be using her as a counter to him...

If you see a Rein in at least 1/3, I'd suggest using Titania.

That said, if he is less common than that in your tier, I would suggest Cecilia. Her Nature there is basically perfect, and she is much better at removing other green units than Titania. SHe's also a more versatile unit, and honestly probably worth the feathers just to have her. Also also, she's a Hero Battle unit, which I think means she is more common as an Arena bonus unit. I think one slot always goes to a starting hero (Anna, Alphonse, Shareena), Two slots always go to Hero Battle heroes (Cecilia, Olivia, Hana etc.), two slots go to "random" units One slot goes to the GHB of the season (I think for the next season, they'll have Legon and Clarisse, otherwise they'll likely not have a GHB for a while), and four spots to "Big Ticket" Banner units.

P. sure Reinhardt can't beat Cecilia without buffs, since her res is only a few points behind Julia.

My tri adept Raven Cecilia shrugs off and kills every Reinhardt. If worried about Reinhardt she is a very good answer.

I should be able to clear infernal with close to the same strategy that worked for lunatic if I can find a pre-pull setup that:

-doesn't get xander panic ployed
-lets both nowi and cordelia rally xander
-lets julia break the wall
-gets cordelia close enough she can attack the ninja on turn two
-lets xander move in to the defensive terrain turn one

You don't have very much space to maneuver and I wasted all my stamina figuring out exactly what conditions I needed to satisfy but it should be doable

I wouldn't fret too much. Because there are no reinforcements tied to unit HP, I anticipate a F2P victory video will be out shortly.

infernal with 4* free units

My strat, which should be doable for most people who have been playing for a while:

Buff Xander's attack and defense. Give him swordbreaker (rank 1 should be fine). Have him move onto the defensive terrain and attack the sword. Everything attacks Xander, sword cav and green mage die. Retreat Xander, have your ranged nukes clean up the ninja and Clarisse. Blue mage suicides into said ranged attackers, then you kill the sword infantry however.

I found this harder than Legion Infernal but I got there in the end. Xander and RobinM were the key players for me with a Ninian dancing them around, bride Cordelia was there too but I'm not sure if she really did much compared to everyone else.

This one was far easier than Legion Infernal for me. Xander is a real workhorse. I think I functionally three-manned it, as Camus hung back for fear of distracting people from committing suicide by Siegfried.

I'm thinking they might have gone a bit overboard allowing the score bonus to go up to 7.5x, It looks like Clairine might actually win on account of all those crazy bonuses :psyduck:

I got a 6.1 multiplier over on Sakura at some point

My strategy for Lunatic Clarisse involved a Fortify Dragons Tiki tanking everything but it turns out she can't tank both the ninja and Clarisse if both of them can trigger their specials on Infernal so I need to do something else

He probably needs a 3 turn special, but for me he took out the swordsman and the blue mage; he needed help from Olivia in the form of hone atk and Draconic Aura triggering to take out the wizard. Clarisse didn't go for him even though he was in range for some reason :shrug:

There isn't any point to having a bonus system if the bonus isn't big enough for the losing side to have a legitimate chance of winning. People were upset that there were no upsets.

I'm backing Maria even though it means certain death next round cause I have her.

My first blind playthrough of awakening Henry got 3 empty/one stat levels in a row and so I benched him and he never married. :evilbuddy:
