Innes decided to grace my presence when I free pulled on the Halloween Banner. (The one with Henry and Jacob and Sakura and so on on it.)

I'll take it since he's new.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I was only rolling on the Halloween banner for a TT unit, since I failed to get one (And instead got Jaffar and Sigurd) I decided I'll be saving my orbs until a banner I want comes around. So probably something FE6.

I did get a free Sakura on the rerun though, +Spd -Res

I'm actually hoping Hrid isn't the new Legendary because I'd actually like to save my orbs. I mean I probably won't even need him but I'd try anyway.

I have way too many swords. Ayra, Karla, E!Chrom, Soleil, L!Ryoma, L!Marth... heck, two Mias. I just... wish I'd even use half of them. Chrom gets used for Cavalry Emblem, Ryoma for Fliers, and Marth for certain tough battles. That's about it.

Been pouring all my orbs into the new Halloween banner because Myrrh is super cute and I still need those last 3 pesky Eirikas. No dice so far.

I'm hoping it's Hagrid (that's what I call him), but I would feel no particular need to try for him right away. I also have plenty of swords and he'll be back again on other banners.

Arena assault was my favorite mode before I hit my current score. In top 5k, it is less about sick strategies, and more of an equipment check for armorsmashers, slaying spears, and slaying hammers.

I do feel this is over-exaggerated, I'm consistently top 3k in AA even though I don't think I have a single blessed hero with effective against armor damage except for 2 prfs.

That said, inheriting those weapons would probably make my life easier but :effort:

Even more stressful when you leave it until the last 30 minutes to do a full run.

Threw a few more orbs at the Halloween banner and got my first... Katarina. -ATK/+DEF, so she's pretty much destined for the shredder. I guess I have yet another copy of Swift Sparrow to fodder off.

How are you remaining that high? I go into AA with a 40+10 Effie, Sheena, Nowi and Erika all with the highest scoring skills and seals and I always get booted down to top 10k in the final couple of hours. It's really, really loving irritating because I seem to be perpetually 1 or 2 stones short of a refine.

Do you send out only heroes with that week's blessings after the opening team? That lineup sounds higher scoring than mine(shown below), but I'm able to get top 3k consistently and that extra point per hero might be the reason.

I have enough good teams at this point I generally don't bother to pick specific counters to enemy teams in AA except in special cases. My anti-armor unit haven't been used in a while.

I don't really care about the blessing stuff either since I just find it annoying. Losing a few coins a week because of it isn't a big deal.

I gotta be honest, I feel this a lot. I only am barely top 5k but I feel like these cool PRF weapons are pointless when I'd be getting more use out of arena assault fillers with armor slayer weapons. Also all the tome users I gave green tomebreaker to when Cecilia and Nino were everywhere in my score range are now useless

The blessing stuff to me is what makes Arena Assault fun because it means I have to mix up what I use every week and makes it more of a challenge.

I've only got 37 merges on my AA leads, so it must be blessings. Just hand out blessing to anyone you think might be useful for AA and try to use the correct blessings for every team. I can usually manage about ~15-20/28 units with the correct blessings in a typical run. The cutoff for 5K AA is around 5170s right now, so those 28 potential points really matter on the border.

Flora & Felicia should get a mechanic where they switch into normal clothes, revealing they've been training with weighted maid outfits and become 170 BST monsters.

Actually that'd be kind of novel if you could take an armored unit and, giving up access to exclusive skills and a stat penalty, use them as normal units.

Relay defense was way more fun this time around because the stat bloat is way more manageable.

I got all of the infernal ones done in just one or two tries each.

Maid outfits don't make one an armor unit. Drunkenness makes one armored. Alcoholism is the path to armor BSTs.

Managed to barely sneak into T21 a second time, I was hoping to do that this week with the help of LTiki
but I guess I‘ll enjoy my crown for a week and then drop down to T20.

LTiki with the arena bonus is absolutely bonkers as expected, armor units are still annoying to use but watching her solo entire teams is fun for now.

As far as bonus units go, Dorcas is also solid. High defense and a weapon that makes it easy to slowly whittle down units because their specials almost never fire.
