Its a matter of time that well see all defense team will have special seals like that for everyone. Its like QP Reinhardt nowadays.
Even more reason that I wont play AA much.

4% rate finally broken by +spd -def P!Olivia. Still want P!Azura though.

The new Squad Assault was a lot tougher than the last one! Maps 1,3, and 4 weren't so bad, but the second and fifth battles were definitely tricky. Map 2 required trotting out Nephenee to tank and kill Luke on the first turn, and Map 5 was giving me a ton of trouble until I switched over to using Dragon Emblem and steamrolled everything with Lightning Breath.
Really fun stuff overall, and it's cool to see how enemy-phase teams keep getting more and more viable.

Cavalry still hits the hardest with buffs. Given the mobility I don't see the new deflect seals changing up offensive teams that much. Right now Rein nukes everyone and Xander deals with greens on the enemy phase anyway. It'll just mean you'll have to use more of the team on the player phase instead of just Rein.
That's at least how I play anyway.
Defensive teams are another story though, it'll be easier to bait cavalry teams.
My TA Robin was able to tank both without swordbeaker and then could revenge kill the archer and then with a dance/speed buff kill Luke on the same turn. I had to get him back to full health with a Reciprocal Aid though for him to survive the blue lance on the next phase.

I used Horses for the 2nd match. Blarblade+ Ursula nuked Roderick, and killed Katarina the next turn. Xander and the rest easily handled Luke and the generic archer.
I still haven't figured out how to beat the 5th match, so I don't have the seal yet.

Dancer pity timer broken by Innes (-hp/+spd). Not sure what to do with him.

He's one of the best archers in the game.
S-Rank him and give him Fury 3 for 52/42 offensive stats. Give him an Ally Support with spurs and he gets even more ridiculous.
Use Horse Emblem for your 5th match instead.
I think the reason why most have found match 2 difficult is that they save their best units for the last map.
round 2 can be solo'd by rein + dancer + unit with reposition
i beat round 3 with a team but can't replicate it

I'll try that. I used Horses for the last match of Squad Assault 2 (the Radiance defense map), so it may be fitting to use it here as well.
Yes, and what I'm saying is that save Rein/whatever horse emblem units for round 5 if they have issues with that map.
If you have a Bow Lyn as well for the last map, Ursula/Rein , Xander, Lyn, Dancer + Xander should make it fairly easy.
doesn't everyone have two horse emblems by now?

Yep. I generally save my horse and flier teams for the end of Squad/Arena Assault, which was why I was surprised to see that Dragon Emblem cleared Map 5 much more easily.
Though I guess the fact that none of the new Deflect line of Sacred Seals apply to dragons is only gonna make Dragon Emblem stronger in the coming weeks.

No. I only use one horse team, and I only created it to get through the later Lunatic Chain Challenges. It's been used a bit in Tempest Trials as backup.
I don't run them at all in regular Arena, and I haven't needed any Cavalry for most Infernal GHBs.

Wouldn't say I have two but I tend to run Lyn and Reinhardt standalone and the rest of the horse crew (all free units) form a double blade team with Ursula/Cecilia/Camus/Reinhardt.
People undervalue how good blade Ursula is. She's a freaking monster.
Ike and Soren pretty much duoed the 5th map for me.
Ike completely demolishes all the sword and axe units with Swordbreaker and Steady Stance. I don't think I actually attacked with him.
A dancer and a blue tome will be helpful, but I think it's manageable without the blue, just made it quicker.

Already using Brave Lyn on my main Arena team. It looks like Innes could be a decent Rein/magic counter for AA if I keep Fortress Res on him.

Stuck on Map 5 of Squad Assault 4 because -Atk B.Lyn with +4 Atk buff misses out on the green flier in by 3 HP.
EDIT:
Suprise. Surprise. She only needs 2 more attack in order to kill it. I guess I'll be marrying her then.

Had a good day as the RNG keeper graced me with a green tome Inigo. It's +DEF/-ATK so not ideal, but probably not the worst either. Thinking of running Ike/Inigo/Tome Support Ephraim/Brave Lyn
I'm not the most caught up on the meta in terms of team synergy, but how does that look? Other notable 5* I have that I can think of are Minerva, Lance Azura, and Sword Lucina. Have a Reinhardt with decent IVs that I'll probably up to 5* one day but I'm only sitting on 16k feathers right due to getting my skills ready for Inigo. Also have a cordelia but it'd take a minor miracle for me to pull the skills she needs to be competitive.
Also where would it best to put my seals and what C skills should I be looking at for Ike and Lyn?

the new squad assault was interesting.
2nd map was a pain if you dont have reinhardt to rush the left side. so i had to approach from the right. the archer and brave sword luke do an absurd amount of damage. i figured my Effie could tank it but somehow luke even with weapon disadvantage was killing my Effie. ended up using black knight but even he would die without specifically giving him def seal and having another unit spur def.
the 5th map got me good though, i made my team specifically for what it showed on the map preview and when more spawned in i was like oh crap. ended up beating it with a different team even had to use a unit to block the blue mage that would spawn on the left middle by standing in front of him as i waited out to hit the 8th turn.

Oh good. You only need to do Arena Assault once for the weekly quest this week.
Dragon Emblem is ridiculous on that last map lol.
Once you get rid of the Lance Infratry, Adult Tiki can basically hold the chokepoint and kill everything on retaliation (well besides that OP Amelia).

- atk is the best bane. Definitely build him up.
I was kinda worried that with a 35 total attack (with G.Raven+), he would kill nothing ever. Better to go with bowbreaker or QP?
QR you mean?
Bowbreaker is probably overall the better solution since Inigo can still get quad by a fully horse buffed B.Lyn and die. QR2 is probably more "budget" friendly though and its fine until you meet a Lyn with >38 Speed
Anyways, He's not supposed to kill anything during the player-phase, instead he's the ultimate enemy phase blue mage/colorless killer.
I still only see orbs and feathers for regular arena.
Yeah, QR, sorry. Thanks for the help (you as well The_White_Rose). I'm not good at the calc sites, so 35 atk just seemed really low.
I suppose he isn't really taking up the "green slot" on the team, so much as being a "value added" dancer.
I believe skills stack if they are different versions, so if it was a Distant Defense 3 seal it would not stack.
Offense aka 4000k or more for max feathers.

I promoted and finished by Gronnraven+/TA Fem Robin as my arena counter to Reinhardt/Brave Lyn, and enjoyed baiting them in and destroying them a few times. Then a number of rounds later, my jaw literally fell as a Lyn swooped in and ORKO'd her. Turns out I got so careless and didn't bother to check the Lyn before I baited her, and sure enough, she had Cancel Affinity. lol 
I actually fought a team with 2 B.Lyns in arena earlier. One with standard B.Bow Build and the other with Firesweep+ + CA. Thankfully i checked their skills before placing my Inigo >_<I promoted and finished by Gronnraven+/TA Fem Robin as my arena counter to Reinhardt/Brave Lyn, and enjoyed baiting them in and destroying them a few times.

Its no problem! Yeah, unless its arena I typically prefer the more run of the mill dancers (Azura/Ninian/Olivia/P.Azura).
Where did you hear that.
