Well, she has a ton of skills because of all the merging.

The assist I run is usually reposition and the C-skill is goad fliers since she's usually a part of my flier emblem team. Gtomebreaker for tanking a hit from Julia/Nino and axebreaker for Hector are also sometimes swapped in.

I managed to pull a summer Frederick (-SPD, +RES) and a Hector (-DEF, +RES) from the summer pool.

Hector is like one unit that I wanted since the beginning of this game, but he is currently the third in the waiting line for a vantage merge. Any other skills like renewal or wary fighter that might work?

Wary fighter disables Armads so it's not recommended.

Besides WoM, G Tomebreaker is also an alright option for him.

Still waiting until I pull a +ATK Cherche. I have Hinoka, a 4* +ATK Cordelia I could promote (and a Firesweep Lance for her to inherit), Spring Camilla and two Caedas, so I have basically all the important components for Flier Emblem. Part of me wants to wait until they release an actual good red flier, though.

Pulling a +ATK Cherche would also mean that I could get rid of the Camilla that has been collecting dust in my box for months, and put her Brave Axe+ on a much cooler character.

I have a full flier emblem lineup except that I'm missing fortify fliers from Caeda. It's not a big deal since goad fliers is probably better in most situations but I want the fortify so my +ATK Bunilla can be the OHKO machine she was meant to be.

A good red flier and/or a flying healer would be nice to have available though.

Yeah, Spring Camilla is why I'd want Fortify Fliers on the team. Apart from the lack of good red fliers, I also can't really justify spending so many feathers on a new team when my current team is capable of reaching Tier 20. I'm sure I'll cave in and make a flier team when they finally add Elincia/Ashnard/Marcia in a year or two, but for now I'm good.

I'm running Hinoka/BCamilla/Cherche/4* Palla since I didn't want to spend the feathers for Palla either. It's basically my B team and works really well.

A 4* Palla with a ruby sword (usually with goads and/or hone) is more than enough to handle any greens the game can throw at you, even in tempest. She was usually the one who ORKOed Veronica in Tempest mode for me.

I hope they add Elincia with Amiti soon. A strong red flier with a unique brave weapon would be great.

I could build something close to this with relatively few feathers if I replace Cherche with Cordelia, neat. The main cost would be giving SCamilla a better tome, but I have 73k feathers right now, so it's not like I'm going to run out anytime soon. We might get a new GHB soon that I would want to spend feathers on though, and I still need to build my Robin (currently considering giving her Sapphire Lance+ and Distant Counter, not sure how stupid that would be), but it's really tempting.

Also, I hope that when they release Elincia, they give her the skill she had in Radiant Dawn that made it impossible for her to finish off enemies. It would be very useful for training other units in the tower and I want to see people's reactions when they forget to take the skill off from her :allears:

SCamilla with gronnblade+ is a house. I also gave her Darting blow even though she is +ATK. With a hone and a goad she has 41 speed on offense, which is pretty good for doubling a lot of units she can't straight up OHKO. I might change it to Death blow (or fury) when I get access to fortify.

I can't get out of Tier 19. I think I would need to promote and train the Askr starters to make sure that I will never need to use a 4* bonus unit in their place.. and I still have Nino and Eirika to work on.

It's neck and neck, with Priscilla having a slight lead.

For Priscilla backers: The scores are too close to ever have a stronger/weaker time to use your flags, so use them all now.

For Elise backers: Keep holding on to those flags. I'm sure that you will be weaker at some point.


Edit:

I finally made him a 5*. He isn't horrible, it's just that every other sword user with a unique sword outclasses him.

he really really wants a brave sword but there's not much point in having him eat an actual good unit to give him one. if you pulled an ogma with atrocious IVs i could see it, maybe.

i saw a reddit post that suggested giving him Dragon Fang because he one-hits literally everyone in the game except the three blue armor units when it procs with death blow and the defiant atk 2 from folkvangr.

Nah, the threshold for the bonus is way too wide to be reached in the next hour. And Elise has consistently increased faster than Priscilla during "Same" status, so she won't be the one to fall behind. It looks like she'll eke out the win now.

The time to spend would have been early this morning, when the two did a fair bit of back-and-forth bonus slingshotting.

Sakura barely lost the first round; she got a big bonus in the last few hours, and was ahead up to and including the final hour. But Elise's neutral advantage let her catch up in the nick of time.

+spd, -res. It probably wouldn't have done him if he was neutral res, I didn't work out the numbers before moving him into range because it didn't even cross my mind that he could get killed by Elise.

And he's distant counter, WoM2, Fortify Res

Aaaaand that's my last fight of the gauntlet. I still have 1,000 flags left. :saddowns: Unless all the Elise players just kind of rolled over and Priscilla players have been charging a serious spirit bomb then Elise has got it.

Athena is pretty close to perfect out of the box with Wo Dao+ and Moonbow. You can give her Fury or Life and Death over Sturdy Blow if you'd like, but the main thing she'd like is Desperation given her crazy speed.
