Man, I know they want to show off Lyn's tits and legs in the one shot, but she looks like her torso's being twisted off her hips.

So i actually just tried to do that pose (ha ha, beardly man alone in the office) and it's actually doable. She's a bit more twisted than would naturally be the case, and she's bending her leg way too much if she's running, but in terms of impossible poses i give this one a 4/10. A bit awkward, but doable.

Guessing someone on the christmas banner will have another valor. Wonder if we'll get Staff Valor. Suddenly in dire need of SP on some of them

Thankee kindly.
It's weird because I don't usually mind Michelle Ruff that much (like I even liked her as Yukari), but something about Soleil's voice direction (especially 'Soleil is here!') makes me really not want to use her for long periods of time.

Of course, Mia has the same problem where she starts off fine but somewhere along the way I just want to turn the voice off forever.

Soleil got that smile that makes her look like ditto from Pokemon

Also I didn't hear her voice until today because I was waiting for double SP and I'm not a fan

now I want to get a Sigurd or Dorcas really quick so I can start rolling for Rhajat and all I'm getting is Arthurs and Lon'qus and Fredericks and Cains

Did infernal using Axeura (WoM), FRobin (TA/Gronwolf/Speed +1 Seal), Black Knight and BLucina.

Axeura and Blucina sit on the bottom, FRobin Top, BK top Right.

Axeura eats the horse lance and grabs aggro on the greens and red. Black Knight sits and eats an attack from the archer and Berkut.

Turn 2. FRobin kills Berkut. BK positions himself to enable an Axeura teleport and she kills the horse archer. Lucina runs away.

At this point you just run Lucina away until you're safe to counterattack the red and have BK WoM in and murder the greens.

Pretty sure Lucina isn't needed. The only unit that's not free that I think makes this a lot easier is Axeura.

Ostentatious' Guide 2 Being The Change: Chapter 2 - The Brutal Reality and Power of Old Bones

A looong long time ago I posted a Jagen build that was...lacking to say the least. Before a time where Berkut's Lance existed the old bones man was in a weird spot where he didn't do one thing well at all and I ended up putting a boatload of skills on him to try and make him work (Brave Lances, Swordbreakers, Moonbows...you name it, I've tried it) Thankfully with the rerelease of Berkut I was able to finally capitalize on a build I have been toying around with for a long long time. It's time to Jagenmeister.

Weapon: Berkut's Lance+/Silver Lance+ - He needs Berkut's Lance+, ideally refined to give him even more resistance and accentuate his strengths. Though if you did not have your hands on a Berkut's Lance like I didn't, you could absolutely refine a Silver Lance+ and give him the same exact outcome just with slightly less res and more MT. However paltry that MT might be.

You see the thing about Jagen is he doesn't hit hard, but he doesn't need to. He's got that precision. By precision I mean...

Special: Glacies - Have you ever wanted to go up against one of those jerk Lancebreaker Reinhardts, knock their lunch out of their hands and shove that small handed loser into a locker? Glacies is your ticket to that. The special thing about an effective 56 res against Mages is that it doesn't matter what he tries, and what he does: He's doing exactly 0 damage to you almost every time without fail. Even his Moonbow is liable to do 0 damage. The funny thing about that is your Glacies? It doesn't do 0 damage. You have a -REAL- special. For REAL TRUE BLOODED ALTEAN JUGGERNAUTS. You take that dumb book that Reinhardt loves to read and you tear it in half and shove each page down his throat one by one before giving him a swirlie and palming a basketball right in front of his small-handed face to really humble him.

Or let's say they are a shoeless dragon or a creepily dressed dragon, thinking they control the game post weapon refinery, walking around like they own the place. We're talking 50 effective res against those jewel collecting lunatics. Seriously, why isn't she wearing shoes? What's wrong with her? Is she too -GOOD- for shoes? Jagen isn't too good for shoes, in fact he's got metal boots on, metal boots that he will place squarely into their butts every time they step to the Jagenmeister. Got your fancy counter-attack breath? Force feed them Icebreaker mints in the form of a no-joke Glacies and make them presentable to the world. No one wants to see your goofy outfit dragons, get out of here. Push them into a locker.

If that sounds appealing to you, Jagen may very well be the hero for you.

A: Distant Counter - He needs Distant Counter, suffice to say. You see Jagen lives by three different codes aside from 'protecting Prince Marth' and 'Clearing the way'. Jagen lives by 'Violence', 'Speed', and 'Momentum'. When some nerd with a book steps up and starts throwing around fancy spells like a jerk you walk up to them, shove your giant pointy stick in their face you borrowed from some guy named Bucket, and kill them. Easy as that.

It's what Bucket would have wanted.

B: Quick Riposted 2/3 - If you're like me, you've spent all of your feathers on a sword wielding psychopath named 'Hana' and don't have any fodder that gives out the maxed Quick Riposte level but honestly, either or will work. No one has time for that, not even Jagen. Have you seen how old he is? He will probably die before you finish building up that Quick Riposte 3. Give that sucker the downgraded 2nd version and get him rolling quickly because he will be taking 0 damage against mages and dragons anyway.

He doesn't NEED help from any man or woman. Jagen is a strong, independent cav unit.

C: Flexible - Really you can run whatever you want. I don't even know why I run fortify cavalry most of the time, Jagen is the only horse unit...or do I? Jagen is on such a high level of gamesense that he is actively playing mindgames with his competition. "Why does that senile old man have a horse buff when no one else is a horse? He's surrounded by a psychopathic swordwoman, another goddamn shoeless dancer, and some Norse Ice-Princess. That's when you step up to them and punch them in the jaw. Little Mac style.

S: Distant Counter 3 - The key to eating every Mage's lunch is Distant Counter 3 for all the reasons stated above. We're talking an effective res of 56, the only one who even touches that is the creepy green-haired girl who always does her best. She has a gaze that will destroy souls.

IMPORTANT: ALLY SUPPORT MASKED MARTH EVEN IF YOU DON'T RUN A MASKED MARTH.

It's funny.

Distant Def 3 you mean, but yeah, sounds neat.

On another thing, I whaled a bit to hopefully get a better nature Siegbert than the +Def/-Spd one I had and ended up with a +Spd/-Atk Siegbert... after two more -Spd Siegberts, 5 Soleils, 1 Shiro, several Chroms and Lucinas, 1 Titania, 1 Ayra, and 1 Mia. I went with that one and merged two of the other Siegberts into him.

Turns out, +Spd was all he needed to get me 4900+ points in the Arena and thus get me a very good rank to go from being a Deadlord to whatever Tier 18 is. Effective 64 Atk and 49 Spd (in-built Swift Sparrow 2 on his Dark Greatsword, Death Blow 3, and Hone Cav from Elise) on player phase is great, and his Atk Tactics boosts the other guys' Atk by 6 without everyone needing to be glued to him. P!Azura with Drive Atk 2 for another 3 Atk to the other guys and my Summoner S-Supported M!Robin also packing Drive Atk 2 so most things die with good positioning.

Speaking of, M!Robin has acquired Keen Blárwolf+ and refined it further to ignore bonuses on Cavs. Between him, P!Azura, Siegbert, and Elise, my team is looking rather alright now.
