I’m probably going to do this

As a bonus it will help against armor Jakob too since bold fighter + brave bow Jakob can really annoying

I got a -atk IV on mine and went TA3 instantly. She handles most things but I don't go out of my way to test her limits. WoM is mostly for defense, I actually kind of like the def dance at times. Wish I had the better dancer B skills but alas.

Thanks. I will give her TA when I have a source for it! I just realized also that I can refine her weapon. With that nature, I'm guessing either Attack or Speed refine?

Also in Arena news, I got frustrated with Fjorm and Axzura on Team Nino so I punted Axzura out for FCorrin and hooooooly poo poo she is a monster! She just ripped everything to shreds. Easy deathless run! I mean Nino was no slouch either, but I expect such things from Best Girl. Both she and Eirika have the Blessing from Fjorm, too.

I think I have found my new Arena Core: Eirika, Nino, FCorrin.

I put my spare B.Ike on Fae for this arena season (I was saving him cuz I was between Fae or Y!Tiki), and I think I'm building up Fae for my arena core with M!Marth, Cordelia and Fae now. I also want to build a baller flier team, and my team is good, but it doesn't have Arena tier 20 score yet.

hey everyone, I just restarted this game after I quit not too long after it launched like a year ago. Looks like there's a lot more to do now. I'm a few days in and I wanna know if my roster is worth keeping or if I should do a reroll. I chose Lucina as my 5 star unit, and grabbed Fjorm from book 2. My other 5 star units are:

- Julia
- Ayra
- Genny
- Lyn (the horse bow one)
- Athena
- Seth
- Caeda
- Ninian

You have Lyn, Blucina, Ninian, Julia and Ayra. I think you’re pretty much set for any story mode stuff. Genny is pretty good as well.

That’s a good set of characters to start with.

Drag Back. It has the added benefit of pulling apart armors for the pickings

This is a good idea, but sadly all my Faes are garbo. Also I don't have any BIkes at all, much less spares. FCorrin has been working out great though! ATiki is the next dragon to build up, but the gal needs Quick Riposte real bad and I am completely out of Subakis.

I have the same Micaiah and gave her Desperation + the Brash Assault seal. I think Quick Riposte is honestly a little bad on her because A) her main targets (horses) are ideally one-shot anyway, B) she can't even remotely tank an archer who might double her (other than BLyn who gets one-shot), and C) she's not, like, amazingly strong or anything so even if she can survive with her massive Res, she won't be able to counter-kill the most common color of mages in arena, Green.

armors are also very common (and annoying) in the arena in addition to horses.

With -SPD she might not double jakob or wtharja

Only a few armors are ranged, and she can't kill any of them with QR anyway. I mean, she can kill Tharja, but she doesn't even need QR to double Tharja.

Brash Assault lets her kill any armor though, since they all have DC by this point.

Edit: I didn't realize Jakob was so slow, so I guess that's a thing too.

With -SPD she might not double wtharja! Same with jakob. Those two probably the biggest threats in merged armor teams.

Not saying that qr is better but that is a consideration

With -Spd she definitely won't double Jakob, no "maybe" about it.

Edit: She has 24 Spd with a Spd bane, -4 from her base. So she can't double even a -Spd Jakob. Frankly I assumed Jakob would double and kill her, she's that slow.

I lost a unit on the last map of AA due to dancer fuckery but still have a score of 5001. That's probably not good enough to stay in top 3k right? I'd like to avoid having to do another AA run but that score is only rank 1960 right now. Probably good enough to stay in top 5k but 3k seems too optimistic

E: ugh I decided to not be lazy and did another run and almost lost another unit on map 7 due to flier Azura guidance fuckery but 5088 secured

The whole brash assault desperation meme build doesn't really appeal to me because then I have to use sacrifice to set it up which means I don't have draw back or reposition and I also need to take a turn or two to get her into the HP range to trigger both skills instead of being immediately useful

That said I'm probably not going to use her much (amazingly I saw a million armors this week but not a single W Tharja in the 2 serious AA runs I did. Plenty in arena but that was before I pulled Micaiah and she wouldn't be on my arena team anyway) and I was just looking for someone to give the QR seal to

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
What should I do* with 4 star Corrin once I get the 5star one from the trials? Upgrade him to fuse? His skills don’t seem anything to write home about.

*eventually. I don’t have many lvl 40 people yet so I’ll keep him for a while.

I tend to just save spares of limited units unless I really want to inherit something off of them or merge.

Then again, I don’t have an issue using a few orbs to expand my roster size either unlike many others.

Whenever you merge 2 identical units together, the resulting unit gains 2 stats and is notated as +1. You can keep doing this up to a limit of +10.

Basically, a 5*+10 unit will have +4 to every stat compared to the same unit at just 5*.
