The un-built dancer in this clear hurts my soul. --> Limited Naga Abyssal Clear

My FE6 barracks is just as sparse as my Valentia barracks, so this un-built Larum just kinda fell into the last slot. I don't like bringing Dancers just to Dance, but there was a lot of movement shenanigans required to pick off enemies while managing to not die -- it turns out that the Sword Cavalier and the Blue Cavalier handily counter 3/4ths of my team, and they're starting enemies, which made hacking out the first two turns an hour-long chore. Part of the solution was to not go ham with L!Lilina so that the Troubadour would suicide into Zephiel, which deprived Naga of a buff-buddy when it was time for Klein to shoot her down.

Larum's native spd/res gap is surprisingly helpful if, like me, you're using Guinivere for her big res and attack. So she just danced and buffed for me, too.

While it'd work on Reinhardt, he'd be giving up his A slot (where he gets a lot of his damage output from) just to score higher in the arena. It sounds interesting, until you pause and look at the bigger picture. Even if you move Death Blow to his seal slot, that's still taking away some of Reinhardt's offensive power in the long run.

And if that wasn't funny, there were lots of things that weren't even funnier...
Seals for the TT are Atk/Def Push and Def/Res Solo. I’m not seeing Push seals being a high ranking choice against Solo, Bond or Form seals in many cases, but we have seen a lot of skills come with on attack or post combat healing.

He's still going to be throwing around a lot of offensive power, though.

Like the "bigger picture" is still a max invest duel/lull res/db3 seal reinhardt having 63 attack brave weapon, that's still gonna be spooky

It's unfortunate because of how weighted the power on Push is to rank 4. If pushes scaled more linearly to what level 4 does it would be one of the best seals in the game.

Doing some extremely preliminary stat calcs in the duel sim, a fully invested Duel Reinhardt can kill +10 LDimitris, LCorrins, and DuoLifs.

He falls a hair short in killing LSigurd though. Needs like, a Rally atk for that.

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

Rein is one of those units who's a great tool in player hands but an absolute kitten under AI control if you know what you're doing. I'm fine with Duel Rein if it gives people an easier time in Arena. Without DB4 and/or QP he won't be difficult to play around.

tier 3 pushes aren't so mcuh a liability in TT as they are one-and-done. They only activate at 100% and then immediately do 1 damage to you and you will almost certainly be taking damage throughout a TT anyway.

If you bring a healer you can at least even it out.


That said I'd probably slap a push seal as filler more than I would an A Skill so I'm still for it.

Pretty much. Someone with Mystic Boost in their B slot (or easy access to self-healing) can get some mileage out of the seal, but ultimately the Push 3 skills are largely rendered useless by their tier 4 versions.

Fallen Edelgard is like, the one unit I could see making a Push 3 skill in her seal slot work, if at all.

So whats the AR strat for duo lyn and duo peony? Do you need 2 peonys to make it work or is plumeria enough?

loquacius
Oct 21, 2008

Here's the breakdown: https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/lyderx/the_fully_comprehensive_highend_aro_lynjaforce

Basically Plumeria is great because she's a mythic and also a dancer, basically the Astra counterpart to OG Peony, and Duo Peony is great because she's a double dancer, and all of them can also run Goad Fliers. It's a pretty flexible setup, but I really liked the idea of Lynja soloing AR maps with nothing but dancer help and the double banner is a great opportunity to make that happen, I just need to actually pull another Peony.

E: oh yeah, basically the concept is that you put Fury 4 on a -HP Lynja, get her into WOM range after a couple combats (since she gets auto galeforce from her duo skill), and then WOM-dance her over and over until the enemies are all dead

I do it with Duo Peony/Duothea/Duo Sigurd and I feel like a see a fair bit of success for little to no investment.

In an ideal world I'd have a second Duothea or Duony for seasons where I can't run Duo Sig.

Yeah also some of my single purpose built units whose only job is to take out a single unit in AA runs. I’ve got an Ilyana whose only job is to check some damage reduction sword unit who I can’t see giving my DB or SS seal to

Or some non premium healers I already have who only have tier 3 pushes
