Julia can murk dragons without eating counters, which makes her better than Chrom and fury-less Marth in that regard, but being anti--dragon without being gimped if they have any level of swordbreaker is the best part about her I'd guess.

Nowi generally kills Lucina due to Swordbreaker, otherwise Lucina wins. Similarly, Adult Tiki with Green Tomebreaker is going to kill Julia, bar +ATK Julia AND -RES Tiki. +RES Julia or -ATK Tiki results in a draw, but Julia dies on the enemy turn barring other units.


edit: This is a nearly guaranteed Nino counter too, always surviving and only not securing the kill if it's a +RES Nino with a full RES boost vs. a -ATK Tiki, so it's not just a gimmick.

I've dunked the rest of my orbs to try to get Ike, because I've come to realize I don't fully care about the game that much to economise my orbs anymore and just got for characters I actually know about.

100 down the drain. 5 more Hinatas.

Well. I guess that's the price with gatchas. Also my two Reinharts earlier.
hinata is at least nice for skill inheritence! I wouldn't mind a few more of him.

It's up to you whether you want to reroll, but general consensus is Titania is kinda meh. If you want to reroll, reroll for Ike since he's the best focus character from this banner. That said if you roll a Ryoma, Hector, or to a lesser extent Azura, it's a good idea to keep them since they're the most wanted units.

Also, if you want to bother with it, most units have an internal +/- to their stats, you can punch in their level 1 stats on a stat calculator online and find out which stats get an increase/decrease.

Nuebot posted:

If you're really set on re-rolling, go for an Ike with +attack. Distant counter is a super useful skill and it's baked into his weapon.

With my usual lovely rolling luck this would take forever I guess. So I just started grinding away instead, this has surprising depth for a mobile game.

Also got a 4 star Nowi today....

Life and Death is a good skill, but sadly she maxes it out at 5* (but there are no sources of it at 4*, so not bad). Hana is also really good if you want to go to through the effort of 5* ing her and giving her LOTS of skill inheritance.

edit: Also a short stream on the game tonight here. Hopefully something cool gets announced.

I was trying for Ike and rolled 5-star Chrom and Marth. I've already got an Eldigan with inherited skills. Is it worth investing time and training into one or both of them, or should I put them on the back burner?

Finally, a week after I finished the build designed to do exactly this, my Tiki took a blow from Nino's melee honor guard, then G Tomebreakered her to death on the follow up. The Defense+3 and HP+3 seal even made the difference in her staying in tomebreaker range!

I've logged into dokkan battle for 281 consecutive days now. Slipping them £10 towards their Christmas party is the least I should do.

But there are people on these forums who have spent thousands on it.

I remember years ago when the PAD thread had its spreadsheet of shame and the upper end people were maybe a couple hundred dollars, now those people are probably a few thousand and there's 1-2 goons who are PAD whales IIRC.

A few people have spent over a thousand on FFRK and FFBE too but that probably applies to any popular mobile game with a thread here. I've encountered people who've spent up to and over $10,000 on games like Mobile Strike though. :psyduck:

Any challenge that expects you to have Hectors (green tanks) is likely blue-heavy and so your red team would get obliterated mercilessly. :eng101:

I tried for the same thing last night.

I went through five iterations of teams just trying to find someone who wouldn't instantly murk her so the other Robin could do chip damage, and then I remembered about desperate resistance.

It's funny. She's got similar stats to Robin(M), and that boy puts in work (even -Attack +HP), but she's just... terrible.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Just started this week, rolled a 5* sakura, 4* azama, 4* effie, 4* marth, 4* setsuna and miriad of good 3*'s like olivia, nino, female corrin and cherche. I went and looked it up, and all these dudes become pretty nutty with inherited skills. My main issue is that getting feathers appears to be hellish. Like, I need 20k to take a 4* to 5*, and that appears to be a level of effort spanning months for just that.

Is there a better way to do that, or is it really just that bad? Cause there's no way I'm gonna bother playing months on end, grinding to make one character of many decent enough to use.

You're going to get less than 4k in arena until your team is leveled up but there's also random events like Voting Gauntlet which get you feathers.

Yeah I think the best I've done is like 1k points or so in the arena. If it's weekly though, yeesh. That'll take a while! But 4k should be enough to bring two 3* dudes to 4*, so there's that at least. Course at 4k a week that's 5 weeks for one 5* upgrade, but if there's extra events then it shouldn't be too bad I guess.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
So can someone explain how the arena works? From what people have said it's actually giving me points based off of what characters I'm using, or something? Cause I always hover around 4k points after a seven streak, while people are somehow getting 10k. It doesn't seem to matter as far as the rewards go, but considering it takes up so much of the game I figure I should at least learn how it works.

When they say 10k they mean that is their rank, nobody is getting 10k points in arena. For example, I'm rank 18k with 4600ish points

One ability does not make a hero in a post SI world.

When taking SI into account Ike is barely a top 5 red sword user. His speed is a massive handicap in a game where speed is everything.
