Definitely +spd. My +2 +spd Tailtiu with fury only has 42 base speed, 48 when initiating. There are so many units around now with decent speed and self-buffs or debuffs or ignore buffs or whatever that even 48 feels a bit low for safe doubles.

You can never have too much speed.

I generally feel safe about doubling when an unit has 50 unbuffed speed.

Lordy if I'm currently at 697 in AR with 11,525 lift it really is a testament to how rude a lot of the defense teams are at this level

Also yeah when it comes to zippy low-defense (and often low-res) blue mages you can never have too much speed

A ton of people seem to deliberately leave some of their Aether unspent in the early season to get defense wins easier (since defense matching is dependent on your current score).

I'm 125 with 11750 right now and usually I hover somewhere around 3k

You could also try doing rematches exclusively, since you can get a guaranteed look at their leftmost defense unit

& that'll put less rematch targets on your back

Does that actually show their AR defense unit and not their arena lead?

yeah
like worst case scenario it's about as cutthroat as always, but at least you can scope out one of their 6 units before deciding if you want to spend the aether.

In theory feels like you could game that system at the start, since you'll probably drop into the prior tier and might be fighting less rude teams? But that's just theory craft.

From my experience, yeah. Like it's possible that every time I've done it they just so happened to put that same unit as the first unit in their defense team, but it seems that way.

For example, today I got owned by someone whose displayed unit was a 3* camilla. I go into their defense map and it was, indeed, a 3* Camilla (and nothing else, I thought it'd be a trap)

Wanted either spring Bruno or Veronica, got a -ATK/+RES Palla instead. :confuoot:

I think I'll keep her, and not mulch her for Disarm Trap. I don't have a good dagger to pass it onto, since the dagger units I do use run desperation.

It was kind of broken by Henry and Tharja since both had decent to good Strength and Defense growths (and HP growths), along with a possible promotion line to take further advantage of that. Though I guess Henry is kind of this in Heroes as well.

Hm... That sounds like an attractive skill for Eir if it wasn't for me using other skills for her.

It's good that she's strong. She would have to be to effectively fill her role of physical armor killer.

Had a good roll today. Got a +ATK/-HP Spring Palla, and also managed to snag a +SPD/-RES Brave Ephraim in the same roll. And to top it off, I got a 4 star Laslow in the same roll, so Palla gets Axebreaker right off the bat.

That said, what refine should I go for with Palla's weapon?

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.


So Romhackers on FEU are making an FEGacha for everyone's OCs (I'm not in there as I do not have an OC or even an avatar to turn into a unit)

Still, hilarious what Romhacking can do now.

Push skills could work well with units that have healing abilities like leg Ephraim. I guess there are always better options though.

The units push themselves to briefly get better stats.
