Guess I'll use the MCorrin I pulled on the dancing banner.
Free pulls were Fir and Eirika. Hone speed fodder.

Probably +Res to better stand up to Blade tomes as well? In my experience his neutral def and hp is enough to stand up to almost every archer not running CA. Maybe wait for other responses first though.
For some reason, I don't believe this. Like at all.
I don't think she's unpopular specifically, but she does seem to be more of a breakout face of Awakening outside Japan, possibly due to way in which she came to represent her archetype to a new audience with the 'thousand-year old dragon' thing, which wouldn't really be an issue for established series fans; and for which she wouldn't have novelty in her favour to distinguish her.
Actually, a fully buffed BLyn with QP, Brave Bow, Moonbow and Death Blow kills that Tiki on initiation. But yeah, she's a good counter for BLyn most of the time.
Yeah I was leaning for that, probably going for bowbreaker so the little bump in res will help against mages I guess... thank you!
Here's the official poll for Awakening (which determined DLC).
She's not unpopular, but compared to other characters, she's not as notable.
It wasn't Japan that put her in the top 10 in Choose Your Legends.

So I have the following:
5* Lilina with neutral atk
4* Lilina with +atk
4* Tharja
I have 20k feathers to spend. Do I:
1) Promote the 4* Lilina and merge, then give her Rauorblade from Tharja. I'll have a 5*+1 +atk Lilina with regular Rauorblade.
2) Promote the Tharja and give Lilina Rauorblade+. I keep the 4* Lilina.
The 4mt difference between the + weapons is equal to the +4 atk I'd get from the merge and atk boon.
I'm leaning towards #1, because I could always go back to Bolganone+ if she won't get buffs, and I have no real need for the 4*.

Guess that makes sense. She doesn't really stand out from the 3 other dragon girls that came before her and are almost exactly the same.
Some calcs that may help:
+def/-atk Inigo tanks fully buffed BLyn with QP/Death Blow/Moonbow whether she's using Brave Bow or Mulagir. No Cancel Affinity of course.
+res/-atk doesn't tank Mulagir but tanks Brave Bow. However, he tanks Mulagir with HP+3 seal.
Both tank Reinhardt.
(All of this assuming Gronnraven and TA on Inigo ofc)
I'd probably go with +def but it's good either way.

Lilina is optimally built with a raven tome with triangle adept since her speed sucks.
Blade tomes are ideally for mages with high speed since if you attack twice you're utilizing stat buffs twice.
Not true since Cecilia has crap speed too.
A +atk Lilina has 40 atk. That's 7 more than a neutral Nino. Add Death Blow 3 and she reaches 59 attack on initiation. That's without buffs. I'm pretty sure she can nuke most if not all greens.

cecilia is different since there are horse buffs but even then cecilia best build is actually raven tome with bow breaker allowing her to solo a brave lyn and reinhardt solo.

Follow your heart, I did!
Now to decide between Swap and Reposition or maybe Drag Back.
That 25 attack.
Cecilia can counter QP Rein without raven with a simple fortify buff.
There are no best builds. It depends entirely on your team, your playing style, their team, map and map's conditions. People have to realize TA builds are double-edged swords. They perfectly counter certain units, but they can also get retaliated back twice as hard. On certain maps, especially on GHB maps, they can stifle your options as resistance can be so overwhelming that you need to take an attack from an undefended position once in a while. They can also allow other options to open up of course. Personally, I don't like to be limited in my ability to attack, since you don't always know how the AI will behave so you can't plan too far ahead (see Valter GHB).

Nice. I'm just putting mine together, +def. Multiple skills switched for extensive TT/Chain or more offense for assault/arena. Will summoner support eventually...saving favorite for last perhaps.

I actually do have a raven tome on Liliana (must've ate a Henry a long time ago) but I don't have TA fodder at the moment so I think I'll just do the promote/merge option.
Did another pull on the dancer banner after getting my pity rate broken and got Inigo, so I'm done with that banner. +spd -hp though; still gets doubled by BLyn.

Indeed. Only reason I ditched my Klein (who I promoted blindly wanting a 5* archer) as above was because he was -atk and it was really beginning to show. After a 3* Subaki and one of my extra 4* Effies, he handed over DB3 and QR3. Pretty good deal.
Wouldn't complain about getting another.

No, Lilina's not really great with Raven because of her physical frailty. Blade tome is much better on her, and she can can run Swordbreaker to double Sword Heroes.
EDIT: Actually R Tomebreaker is probably better, because a lot of Sword Heroes get OHKO'd anyway.

That Camilla Warriors lvl 35 map really is hilarious for leveling up. Just parked Adult Tiki here with Sol healing her every once in a while and the SP racks up like a jackpot. No need to move her for anything.

I'm at 89,300 points in Tempest Trials, and I'm not even in the top 50K anymore. Didn't do any grinding after today's first three attempts. I'll be slightly below 94,000 points when the new day arrives.
Totally exhausted from Trials, but I'll push myself to get those last 4 Orbs. No point in stopping when I'm so close.

If you did your Tempest Trial runs using auto-battle, you would have been fine. Just doing the 5-battles per run was enough for me to maintain my rank in the top 1000 and I am not burnt out at all despite getting 176k points.

I don't think he has the app open as much as you.
He doesn't have to just to get to 100k points, auto-battle goes by faster than playing manually and you wouldn't have to burn through more than 200 stamina a day.

I'm at 93,470 points after two bonus runs. Will just hit 99,999 for the last few Orbs. Can't go on beyond that.
At least I'll be getting double SP for those last 6000 points.

I run my auto battles on Memu on my second monitor while im playing Rainbow 6

Hmm.. it definitely takes more than 5 battles a day to maintain my rank to get 8k feathers. I'll probably use stamina potions to ensure my rank today. It's pretty annoying at this point (I enjoyed it up to a week point) and I can't wait it's over.
This TT is definitely tougher to rank in than the last 'full' one. I was easily in the top 5000 at the end with only 140k. This time I'm expecting you'll need 150-160 to be safe.
And yeah, the only reason I even bother is that I'm gaining HM and autobattling. Plus right now I just switched my summoner support back to Hector, so he needs some grinding too.

No, I said 5-battles per run, referring to the tempest trial runs that have level 35 or level 30 characters.
Going back to what I was suggesting to the other guy, say you were getting 480 points on average which would be closer to the level 35 5-battle runs, you'd have to do 200 runs (ignoring 3x bonus points) to get to 96k points.
So assuming Tempest Trials was running for 14 days, you'd have to do roughly 14 runs per day (using up 280 stamina).
Of course doing the 7-battle level 40 TT runs with your 3x bonus points manually would obviously help you a lot giving you about 4000 points per day to reduce the amount of stamina you'd need.
That's why having auto-battle do the grinding for you makes it a breeze.

How reliable is auto battle anyways?
almost always got me to the last stage. sometimes it would clear it, sometimes black knight would wreck everyone because i didn't have a blue on the team. still good for an A/B ranking.

About as smart as enemy AI, so good, but can be hit and miss.
Be sure to remove staves from healers (and maybe attacks from dancers/singers), possibly remove some re-position skills like Draw Back. Just so they don't waste time.
It also helps if you field reasonably bulky units, like Xander. Squishy units are at risk of getting ganged up on.
Sometimes, very rarely, you can get stuck in narrow corridors though, like when of your ranged units block the way and nobody can retreat out of the way. So don't look away for too long : P

Depends on the difficultly you choose, but I've got >95% success on Hard (30) with Ike+Soren+Healer (weapon unequipped)+Blue lance this time.
I assume it's much less reliable if you go for harder difficulties.
All solid advice.

So teams with a specific play style like desperation Nino wouldn't work with auto battle right?

autobattle is great.
Till you have 1 melee unit vs 1 ranged unit circling around an obstacle and the ranged unit can't kill him.
Then autobattle just gets stuck in an endless loop till you realize it.

Yeah, I had a autobattle get stuck the other day, came back to it being on turn 88 or something stupid.
First time I've ever got an E for speed in TT, lol.
