I'm about to do the final merge on my 4*+10 Azama and was debating promoting the final one so he could have a forged staff, which would be an utter waste of feathers but would also be hilarious. Complicating factor: I just got a pity breaker Priscilla (:argh:) so now I actually have a spare Pain+ in hand, but I don't know if I can get over burning a 5*, even a fairly useless one, for a joke. Hmm.

I'd use her to put Rehabilitate+ on someone instead tbh.

Rehabilitate/Rehabilitate+ is still good but Recover+ is where it's at now

Recover+ doesn't give a poo poo about your life total and just drops 30+ heals per turn, it's amazing

I accidentally sent my Arena team into Lunatic 7 Tempest, featuring 2 different Fury heroes and Alfonse where the only healing was one Aether and somehow managed to clear

I don't know how many bonus rounds Azura has gotten so far, but I only managed to play during one so far, so I assume I missed a few. Soon I'll have to start dumping my 1900 flags without a bonus and while that sucks it makes my decision to just dump all off my flags in the first round looks less stupid in retrospect.

You have to start dumping flags right now, assuming you perfectly play every 30 minutes.

I'm out of flags because of the war against Tharja.

I've cut myself down to 800 flags from 2k, just enough to dump on a last minute bonus round or over the last couple hours.

Maybe I'm missing something, but since there are 10 hours left I should have more than enough time to use all of my flags.

sp grinding is awful. Not helped by 5* healers not coming with their attacking skill or their heal+ skill. We really need a Staff Valor skill

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

I've used my healers in enough Tempest Trials and similar things that by the time I got around to giving them serious builds they had a million SP from healing chip damage. But yeah if you just drew a healer and are hoping to build them up, the SP grinding is hell. If you have any Blessings lying around, putting them on a healer is an excellent choice! That turns every heal into 2 free SP, 4 SP during double SP weekends!

That's what I did for my Elise and it worked great!

The only way I SP grinded Lissa was by having her at 5 stars, upgrading her weapon to a ++ (with the attack penalty removed), slapped her a DD seal, and have her solo Takumi hard. Level 32 enemies are the max that a level 40 character can still get SP off of.

Big warning if you're doing this and you didn't know like I did: refinement for a ++ is a one-time thing. You can't refine a weapon to prevent counter attack, then remove the attack penalty, then try to go back to no counterattack.

Putting them in an autobattle TT team also works if you want something with less effort

This obviously works better with bulkier healers, mind

Do you mean you can't go back without spending resources again? Because you can definitely change your refinement later.

refined weapon unlocks appear in your skill equip screen too, right?

Is Gravity an alright skill to have on Genny, or should I use some feathers to give her a Pain staff?

(Takumi's Warriors map and blessings make SP grinding so easy for her)

Gravity is literally the best status ailment you can get from staves right now, thanks to Gravity+'s AoE effect and being able to refine it to prevent enemy counterattacks. It works wonders with Reposition.

Thought so, thanks!

Gravity, Atk +3, Savage Blow 3 and Savage Blow Seal is going to be the build I have in mind for Genny

It's a bit lower than that, at least it was 2 weeks ago. 692ish maybe?

I'm one of Team Lissa's best supporters right now, closing in on top 1,000 in the team. I've never been this fortunate before, so kinda pumped to really rake in the feathers. Not that I have used them in a long time...

Got into the top 1000 in the Tharja battle, but that’s definitely crippled me in this round.
