shit, I assumed Linde would be losing the entire time and used 100 flags without looking. We were ranked as 'same'. Oh well.
I also forgot that I'd need to burn a ton of duel crests to get max flags for this event. Good in that I can improve my score, but bad in that I already used some this week.
Ran into something I'd never seen - a merged Effie with Distant Counter/Wary Fighter/Threaten Def and a Heavy Spear+. Still not an issue as my Hector is +DEF and of course there were defense tiles to use, but she would've just barely one shotted Linde. Incidentally, quick riposte + enough speed to double a unit means that Wary Fighter gets negated apparently.
