I could have done so much better in this if I didn't sleep through bonus rounds. Like the first round I was ranked 20 in Mist's army and almost in the top 1000 overall because I used flags in nearly every bonus round except for the final one where I'd run out. For Priscilla I was sleeping in the early parts where the thing was shaping up and there were like one or two the whole rest of the thing, then when she was up against Elise I was awake for the early parts and slept through this morning's back and forth bonuses so I missed out on the more weighty bonuses. Ah well. At least I got enough feathers to 5* someone and I pulled a YTiki on the summer banner.

It's Siegfried. Xander is extremely okay without it, but is a powerhouse with it.

Also, is a +atk Priscilla comparable to Elise? I just got a pull with 4 colorless and got 2 Azamas, a Gaius, and a Setsuna, so I feel a little deflated. And I have this Priscilla just chilling in my horse emblem team already...

Judging from this new banner, looks like Alm/Fae/Mae/Boey are going to be the bonus units for the next Tempest Trials.

Edit: I'm dumb and didn't read the announcement. Also, apparently Tobin is the unit reward for this Trial.

Guess I'll have to do without a 40% bonus unit this time. I do have Sharena at 5*, so I should still be able to get most of the rewards.

I have gotten so many Ninos rolling for Summer Tiki that I should have kept her as a 4* and just merged all of them instead of spending 20,000 feathers on one promotion. Oh well.

I'm happy that Mae is one of the bonus units for the new tempest. She is an absolute beast, and I have been meaning to finish her build for a while now. The only problem is that this means I'm not going to use Reinhardt on my starting team, and the grind is going to be much more painful.

My only 40% bonus unit is a level one 4* boey I recently pulled... *sigh* guess i'll make an expendable team with him in it in order to benefit from the bonus I guess. Probably better than nothing.

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

I'm in the same boat. I have none of the Echoes characters at all. I would try pulling on their banner if Celica was in it instead of Alm.

Alm is just another generic swordlord, and they're a dime a dozen. Celica would be useful either to use... or to have Xander eat for Distant Defense.

Looking forward to doing the Tempests with the changes they've made. Should be a lot less aggravating.

If they combine it with the losing health, it'll be great

it'll be even better if we start off prize wise where we finished last time because I was 10k off the loving second seal

Anyone have any ideas on how I could take on Infernal Clarisse?

Just reccomend any strategies you have that work, hopefully somewhere in my roster I have the needed units. Major lynchpin units that I can think of that I have are Ike, Camus, Xander, Eirika, Nino, Azura, Hector and Triangle Adept M!Robin. I have an assortment of others of course, but those are all of the uncommon ones I could think of.

Position Xander on that Fort just above the breakable tile and you damage most of the surrounding units and kill the green cavalier. You could stick bowbreaker on TA Robin and go from there too.

Alright, so I can do that, but I'm unsure where to go from having Xander do that... What team comp do you think I should have with him?

Get him out of there and Nino, Azura, and RobinM should be able to clean up the other units.

Unfortunately, I can't quite seem to figure out how to win with this team after getting out from the fort, I guess I need babby handholding steps. Nino is +ATK -SPD and has fury if that's relevant.

If you really need it you could take screenshots of the map after the initial placement of Xander on the fort, PM it to me and I'll try to set up the next move.

Use Azura, Nino, and M. Robin. If you're going to bait the green mounted mage with Xander, make sure he has a hone attack buff to secure the kill on the mage and severely wound the thief. Taking down the mage and the thief opens up a lot breathing room for the rest of the team.

Thing is, I can do that, I just don't know where to go from there.



EDIT: Never mind, figured it out, key was having robin attack Clarisse from below, not diagonally.

Can Robin kill Clarisse from the South?

E: And can Nino kill Clarisse and the sword horse? Does the Ninja do damage to Xander on the Fort?

Anyway, with that done, I can now upgrade that +Spd -Hp Nino I had to replace my +ATK -SPD one

Here's the result!



The +SPD from the merge was just icing on the cake, now with Eirika buffs she'll have 47 speed, which should be enough to double almost anything (except green tomebreaker people).
