THAT'S SPECTACULAR.

Wow, a score of 5005 might not be enough to keep me in Tier 20, and I really don't feel like going fishing for decently scored match-ups (it bloody well varied between 710 and 724). I expect it might be a bit easier next season without so many armours around and with a few more mergers on my team but, yeesh, that's tough.
I am an idiot and was looking at my Offense score rather than my rank. 4368/5084 with 17 hours to go. I'm safe!

What this also means is that I'm probably safely going to stay in Tier 20 for a while, provided I can get a deathless run. This season, I didn't have a decent bonus unit except Anna, and she's not multi-merged. Sure, some of her skills are a little costly, but she was always going to be a BST sink in comparison to my arena core. If I can safely stay in Tier 20 with her, I'm pretty sure I'll be safe with anyone in the 4th slot, even bonus units like Cecelia and Olivia who have reduced BSTs. I'm pretty happy about this because once I have all the bonus units with a merge or two, I can go back to doing fringe be-the-change units.

That aside, is anyone else working on the hero battle arena rotation units? They are:

Sophia/Gunter
Virion/Cecelia
Hana/Felicia
Subaki/Wrys
Donnel/Olivia
Lissa/Stahl

I chose Sophia, Cecelia, Hana, Subaki, Olivia and Lissa. Having each one kitted out and multi-merged seems like a smart thing to do for times when I don't have a bonus unit.

Thankee kindly.
Subaki's in my arena core, and I have a decent/not-terrible Hana/Stahl/Cecilia. Sharena/Anna usually fills in the gaps.

This rotation is the first time I don't have anyone good, since Alfonse is still 4*.

+ATK-HP, -def will probably work about as well. Speed seal can be swapped out for an Iotes if you have hone fliers available, I just like repping the SA4 seal b/c it took me ages to get my hands on it :v:

I don't have any of the gauntlet characters, so I'm probably going to give out Spring Camilla for NY Camilla.

I'll switch to her blade/db build instead of gronnraven/tri adept though, or I'll feel bad if you get her against a field of reds.

the worst part of only have robin/ryoma is knowing that they won't get second place which means I probably won't get the 10% bonus

First time sans bonus unit, but on team Robin because I actually like him the most as a character. Shock.

Pretty much.

Steady Breath + Aether (or bonfire for guaranteed brave bow BLyn OHKOing) is generally the best combo if you have it but you probably don’t
