I did it after giving ATiki real skills. Red tanks are super valuable in this fight. Final team was BCordelia/Delthea/Xander/ATiki

yeah you want an archer for sure. Brave bow preferably, doesn't really matter too much if they can quad

I need to level up an archer. I have 4* Klein, 5* Rebecca and 4* Clarisse. Sadly I haven't levelled any up. I spent probably an embarassing amount of stamina but I beat it with Xander/neutral Reinhardt, Camus and Elise.

Decided I might as well invest in some units besides the three starters that keep appearing in the arena rotation. Spent 40k feathers on a +RES/-SPD Sophia and while her art still kinda sucks, she is pretty good as an unit. Really glad that we now get so many feathers that I can do stuff like this and not feel bad about it.

Also got it with Rein and two dancers. Xander was the tanky red to complete the team.

Was my first time using Rein outside of Training Tower. Gemmed him from 24 to 40, fed him a Narcian and let him run wild.

Seems like I'll be using him a lot more.

Infernal? What was your tactics for this?

What is everyones opening move on lunatic even? I can tank the Archer and Axe with Ryoma but he leaves them both with 1hp, then it's all downhill from there.

I used Lucina to tank that part in lunatic and that killed the flier at least. In infernal I used Xander and didn't kill either of them and just had to proceed from there

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
On Lunatic I had Celica kill the axe flier and then tank/counter-kill the archer. It won't work for Infernal though. I have a +Spd Takumi who could theoretically double the fliers with Darting Blow and a speed buff, but it might be more practical to just give him Axebreaker. Hmm. If I spend too many resources on this it's literally pointless.

Rein in bottom left, xander top left (for hone on rein), azura in the middle, olivia on the right.

Move 1: move olivia down 1 square.
:v:

This puts the lance cav and red tome in perfect position for (even my -atk) rein to move down one and kill the tome, dance with azura, move him to azura's spot, then move xander to Olivia's starting position and then move olivia up above xander.

Same in infernal. I then had Reinhardt kill the lance, and camus take the red mage who he killed on the counter (I think reinhardt's goad was necessary). Then xander took the axe/archer again and killed them the second conflict with each.

I haven't tried lunatic yet, will do that later tonight.

One feature I want in the next update is the ability to use the hero catalogue to mark certain heroes as auto-favorites even if you get them at 3*

It'd be nice to just one time go through and figure out who's worth saving so I don't have to ask myself "wait does Stahl have anything useful for inheritance?" every time I'm sending people home

She is purely a support character, dropping stats with her bow and doing out of battle damage with poison strike.

Since this game is more focused around killing an opponent in a single attack, she isn't very good. Even at 5*, which I got her to.

Thanks for the tip, I made it work with Reinhardt, Xander, Ninian and Olivia. It was the starting move that I couldn't figure out and I kept being put on the backfoot because of it. The strong opening you provided made all the difference.

I don't remember exactly what I did on Lunatic, but on Infernal my sequence was kind of:
(+atk/QP/Moonbow Rein, Brave Bow+ Setsuna, Ninian, Olivia)

T1: Everybody clusters towards the left.
T2: Setsuna kills Firesweep Cav, Rein kills red mage, Olivia dances him, Rein repositions her to the other side, Ninian moves to Setsuna
T3: Rein kill red Armor, Olivia dances him, Rein kills Valter. Setsuna kills reinforcing sword flier, gets danced, and moves down. I don't remember anything past that.

I would work on Valter for the next arena rotation but I appear to be out of Hinata

Is there a plausible alternate A skill for him?

e: I guess his default Darting Blow is pretty good, never mind

Huh, I guess I can try my Flying Emblem team for the next rotation. It's unfortunate that Hinoka is the only source of Hone Flyers.

I like Valtar but with Hinoka and summer Corrin my flier emblem already has as many blues as it can handle. If I ever get another Hinoka I'd love to inherit hone fliers on a red (lol) or a green flier just so I could make more varied team comps.

I used Xander and he didn't ORKO the archer on my winning run either. You can just finish him off with some other unit after using Xander (or equivalent) to tank the first round.

I've got 20k feathers again and I'm torn; I could either pump my +ATK Leon up to 5* (he's got full inheritance, Brave Bow+, DB3, etc.) Or I could bump my ATiki up to 5 and feed her Lightning Breath+ and Bonfire to my YTiki. Thoughts? I know both will be helpful for the Valter GHB too.

I just waited for everyone to close in (they move immediately), then Hinoka kills the cavalier. S!Camilla can tank and kill the red mage with optimal speed (+SPD IVs, Speed seal, Hone + Goad + Fortify).

EDIT: This was on Infernal, but worked just as well on Lunatic.

T1: Reinhardt starts in front, Xander behind, Takumi in the middle, Azura on the right. Rein and Xan each shift 1 back, Takumi and Azura to each side.
T2: Rein takes out lance cav and red mage with dance. Xander swaps in to tank the axe flier. Takumi shifts so everyone is in a vertical line.
T3: Takumi murders flier, Rein gets danced to kill sword knight and Valt, Xan hits archer then kills on the counter, knocking him out of QR range.
T4: poo poo gets real. Highlights from here on out include Takumi facetanking a red mage and killing him with vengeance, Azura actually killing something, and Xander getting surprisingly close to death fighting green dudes.

It's kind of like the Legion GHB: you have to find a very precise sequence of moves to take out as many dudes as possible before reinforcements arrive without exposing your troops, then following an even more precise sequence to tough out the last few. All while wondering if your team is actually good enough to do this.

I might promote Palla for no good reason. Or Felicia to get more of the free unit rotation into usable shape.
