Dumped all my orbs in green and blue and got a +Speed -HP Robin which seems pretty good and a +Def -Res Tiki, is that usable at all?

Got a Gray (+HP/-Res) and Mathilda (+Def/-HP).
I only wanted Gray for Sword Valour to make grinding SP for other units easier so I'm not bothered about his IVs, but I'm guessing that Mathilda is probably no good.

After using way too many orbs I got Summer Corrin (+Atk -Speed), Summer Elise (+Speed -Res) and two Summer Xanders (+HP -res / +Speed -Def).
Which Xander do I want to keep and which one is good to give Infantry Pulse to someone else? And is -Speed Corrin pretty much useless unless she is on a team with Hone Fliers?

-spd Julia is suboptimal because sometimes she doesn't one shot rein anyway

Also I actually use LaD 2 in PvE content on her and it's surprisingly good
I have a +Atk -Spd Julia and in the arena I don't think she's ever failed to kill a Rein when I put her in his attack range.

Interview with some game devs is up:

- sacred coin use in October
- badge sink in the works
- supports (we already knew this)
- Xander/Camus will return eventually
- some way to avoid colourless hell

Devs are cool and good
Welp, I guess sacred coins aren't for changing IVs after all if changing them is something they are only "looking into" but they give a date when we'll know what the coins are for.

If I wanted to put a unit on my arena team to help with the current Bow Lyn and Rein hellscape, would I be better off building up a female Robin or just putting bow breaker on my Julia?

Back to story chat I actually like this game's story barebones as it is and would gladly see a little bit of dev time sliced off of something else in exchange for a more expansive story

I suspect we're in "season one" right now and it'll end with us recruiting Bruno and swearing to save Veronica from the evil god who turns out to be a dragon. Then season two would be a good opportunity to rethink their storytelling paradigm. Maybe more frequent updates with fewer maps? A 1-2 map story chapter with every banner alongside a paralogue that's about the new heroes instead of the main characters?
I'd like it if there was more story content about heroes from different games interacting with each other, like how Xander showed up in the Sacred Stones paralogue or Lucina talking to Hector in the epilogue for the Tempest Trial Mini.

I decided long ago that I would get every unit that has a valor skill so even though I swore off it after the performing arts banner, back into colourless hell I go.
At least this time there's an armoured archer which would be cool to get too.

I only played Birthright but from what I remember Kana was pretty great, and I liked Dwyer and Mitama.
Selkie was good too but they would make way more fanfare about adding beast units into of just putting one on a banner with other characters.

But who am I kidding, they're probably just going to add Rhajat, Asugi and Caeldori.

Dumped in way too many orbs and got Fjorm (+Hp -Res), Celica (+Atk -Res), BCaeda (+Def -Spd), and two Hectors (+Atk -Def and +Atk -Res).

I was really hoping to get Camilla, but aside from Caeda all of those are characters I didn't have previously so I guess I can't complain at getting two Hectors when I've been trying to get him on every banner he's been a focus on so far.

Also thanks Intelligent Systems for making Light Breath extremely good after I spent a bunch of feathers giving Ninian Lightning Breath+ the other day.

I was planning to upgrade Ninian's Light Breath because I thought it sounded really good but since it's apparently not what's the recommended upgrade?
My Ninian is +Res -Atk so most of the time I use her to bait and tank rather than go and attack so would it be better upgrading Dark Breath since that doesn't seem to have the turn limit problem Light Breath has, or is Lightning Breath still the better choice? And then what's the best stat to boost, is bumping speed from 33 to 36 worth it or should I just increase her Def or Res?

[TELL] me a build that makes ninian not awful

i mean, it'll be unnecessarily hard because i have the worst possible ninian (-spd +hp) but at this point i can barely even grind her up, it's just excruciating :(
Mine is Lightning Breath+(speed)/Dance/Iceberg/TA/WoM/Fortify Dragons or Hone Attack if I don't have another dragon on the team.
She's -atk +res so most of the time she's not killing anything but she's decent enough at tanking things and getting enough damage in then someone else can finish off anyone who attacks her.

ChaosArgate posted:

I've done both Brave Bow and Guard Bow and the latter is a lot more fun to play around with. Brave Bow-Wary Fighter is fun and fucks up most anything that Jakob can initiate against, but Guard Bow-Quick Riposte is much more useful because he can bait basically all forms of range and destroy them without sustaining a whole lot of damage and also staying in QR range. Caveat is that he'll fold to Raven tomes or Blade tomes, but that was likely going to happen no matter what.
So how does inheriting refined weapons work anyway? If I inherit Assassin's Bow+ onto Jakob can I upgrade it from there into Guard Bow or do you have to give Guard bow to Setsuna first and then inherit it to Jakob?

So since Christmas Lisa with Brave Axe can trigger any special in one fight if she initiates, what would be the best special for her?

If I’ve worked it out right with Quickened Pulse she can use Bonfire twice in her first fight if she initiates against an enemy that can counter, but does being able to charge an use a 5 turn special in one fight mean Aether would be better or even Galeforce (although that’s probably not great unless she also has the movement boost from Armor March).
