mabels big day
Feb 25, 2012

I'm going to stay strong and not pull on these banners. Reyson will come. New Year's Camilla is but a fleeting dream. I don't need Bridal Charlotte and her funny cake spoon. Winter Tharja was not meant to be.

I'm working on PoR units and they're coming along nicely.




Defiant Res seems bad but with Titania getting into low health a lot with fury +reciprocal aid, it's not hard to get it to work, and it boosts not only blade damage, but also iceberg and speed ploy. I am thinking of replacing Guard with Renewal on Titania, but idk. I'll put LnD 3 and Gronnblade+ on these guys later when I feel like spending the feathers. If I had a Winter Robin I'd be tempted to give Oscar brazen attack/speed but the HP requirement seems hard to get for him. Or on the off chance I get a Seigbert I'll put attack tactic on one of them.

In my dreams I get a good Mist and I give her the Absorb, CC, QR, and Miracle build, and then they release her boyfriend Boyd who has an assload of HP and Infantry Pulse so I can help speed up Miracle and Ike's Aether.

Okay, so what possible ways are there going to be to make NY Takumi good?

Besides hanging onto him until daggers somehow become meta months from now, I mean.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Daggers now have respectable Mt with refinery, and his innate "killer" dagger is already the best dagger besides arguably Kitty Paddle, so honestly he won't be that bad. Basically functions like any bow unit would with a Slaying Bow. 34/34 is pretty alright offensively too. Just give him Luna and he'll generally perform well enough, you can maybe try to capitalise on his decent Res by giving him Fury/DD and a DD seal + QR to make him a mage baiter.

Won't be anything gamebreaking, but daggers have come a long way.

He's a better Kagero, so you can build him the same way. Mochi gives him a few possibilities (most likely Luna). I doubt he's going to ORKO much that he isn't exploiting a weakness (like infantry/mages), so he'd probably really like dance support.

You can't really say he's a better Kagero since Kagero is defined by her weapon and still has the edge in ATK (only by 1 but still). Kagero doesn't really care about stats other than her OHKO potential.

I just pulled a +atk/-def soleil and I'm gonna slam that mfn heavy blade seal on her SO hard

E: should I give her my spare swift sparrow or save up to give her l&d I currently have approx 0 feathers and blasted my barracks to get florina to +10 but a good A slot is rly all she needs to come online, toss on wom and glimmer or something and she still gonna hit 60 atk on initiate at 5* with swift sparrow and fsweep+

Is there anything important that I'm missing with New Year Camilla?

Like unless she has BST power creep she's not really doing anything new.

She has increased BST like all new units but otherwise she is just a solid red flying sword

I don't think she got power creep (surprisingly), but she's our fourth red sword flier so if you don't want to use palla &/or don't have Elincia, she has that going for her.

She's a red flier with very good HP, good speed, good attack, and great defense.

She's what Caeda wished she was.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Camilla's a slightly worse Elincia statwise with a bit more bulk and no prf weapon. They all have BST creep, but besides Azura they're nothing really new; IS is dialing down the powercreep a bit for the New Year banner.

Paging Ostentatious how do you feel about swift sparrow vs l&d on firesweep, obviously l&d is better but like how much would u miss the single atk/spd?

I'm not Ostentatious, but if you're doing firesweep, then you have no enemy phase, so why should you give a drat about your defenses.

You can still take a hit in a pinch.

Soleil probably has enough bulk to take a hit even with LnD imo.

L&d is clearly better but I'm tapped on feathers and have a spare swift sparrow lying around which is suboptimal but also a lowkey flex

ALSO I stand by l&d being better for defenses anyway because it keeps u from getting doubled

I've got a +3 Soleil who I use quite a lot and I use L&D, even with the defence drops she can almost always eat one ht if she has too because so little doubles her.

I know this was mentioned a day or two ago, but...

The AI in the final TT map does act a bit strange. Robin and Gunter both opted to not attack my Titania to spur Effie, who couldn’t reach anybody.

It was weird and I’m not sure if I accidentally did something that caused Gunter and Robin to run around avoiding combat for two turns.

It might be giving them too much credit but i kind of assumed they are trying to deliberately waste time. But maybe the AI was always prioritizing buffing and i never noticed.

My experience is that the AI buffs sometimes if combat is really bad, such as a blue unit attacking an emerald axe character. I'm not exactly sure where the line is, but I think given the choice they won't choose to do literally 0 damage or suicide.

If the AI would do 0 damage to a target, they will prioritize using an assist over attacking in some situations. This has killed me a couple times in arena when the enemy dancer refuses to attack into one of my units and instead waits and dances someone else.

Makes sense.

I realized Gunter was actually using Harsh Command to reverse my Arvis’s Def Ploy, but Robin avoiding Titania makes sense.
