Eirika + Nino is good, or Ephriam + Tharja for a similar effect.
Hector kinda goes with everyone.
The three Brave units + Eirika might be a pretty good team. You have all three colors represented + Bow Lyn.
I'm still pulling green for Hector, I wasn't expecting to get a Ninian right away but it's nice being able to focus on him. I don't actually expect to find another one, but a better Cherche or Fae or any random 5* not named Merric or Hawkeye would be great.
I did get my second Fae this morning, -DEF +RES. Existing one is -HP +DEF. I still want to hold out for a +ATK one before I go for the 40k feather investment, but if I gave a 3* ATiki's lightning breath to the +RES 4* Fae, that'd be a pretty solid cheap Rein counter. I should probably have not sent home a bunch of ATikis a few months ago.

oh wait do bonus units in the arena get double sp? i saw she was getting +12 and was severely confused.
Yes. Since I run full Goads, the Panic Ploy doesn't even matter.

BHB infernal wasn't too bad. Raven Cecilia was MVP.

Yup. And double that on weekends. If you've got the crests and some valor skills you can grind some serious xp in arena for bonus heroes
Is steady breath better than fury? I'm seeing a lot of red Ikes with steady breath lately but my Roy still 2HKOs lol

AA is brutal right now. Bow Lyn and Reinhardts every match. Made worse that these are quite possibly the worst rotation of maps in the game.
Steady Breath is the best duelist A-skill in the game. It's really OP, lol.
It's so goddamn true. Dealing with Reinhardt was a pain, but I took solace in the fact that he had consistent checks/hard counters. Now of all a sudden you need to deal with Lyn, and I refuse to run Raven's on all of my teams.
Do you really care about that one extra sacred coin though? I don't since they're still useless lol
At least normal arena gets you orbs.

BIke and BRoy are being really elusive with me. After spending 70 orbs sniping reds and greens I got a 5* Julia and 5* Hawkeye, so I feel like having both bad and good luck with these pulls. IS is tempting me to spend some money to get at least BIke, but I hope the Mini TT gives me the enough orbs to pull him.
Are you me? Because that is about what I'm at right now for orbs spent, current rate, and amount of green orbs I've even had the chance to snipe.
Remember, AA lets you peek at the map and send in hard counters. Time to get creative. This beats any Brave Lyn except one running CA, but that means she can't run Sacae's Blessing.
I still need a few more good Lyn/Rein counters myself, but they're giving out lots of feathers lately. A few specific units becoming super-common only makes AA easier in the long run. I've been working hard on Lyn and Rein counters for weeks now. I may not be able to pull Julia, but I sure as shit can put TA2 on a Soren.
I've been trying to get one more Brave Hero (Ike or Roy), no luck so far. I pulled a (second) regular Ike and decided to give Heavy Blade to Brave Lucina.
Meanwhile, IS has been tempting me with two Hector banners and an Eirika banner. I have already spent more than I want to on this game, at least spread my desired units out a bit more, damn.

You could run Bowbreaker + Fury and not have to worry about CA, period.
But yeah, I'm gonna start stocking up on Raven users
Wouldn't Bowbreaker and Fury put you in Brave Bow territory.
Uh, no!
Fury's far too in-demand for me to waste on this kind of character, lol. Also TA lets her handle Rein too. Her stats don't look like much but with a buff or two she does great. And as I said, CA is in no way a worry for me in AA - you can just check for it.
Bowbreaker, once I pull more Setsunas, is gonna be how I make some easy Lyn counters. Virion for example. But I ran out of Setsunas since I rarely pull colorless. Interestingly enough, my +SPD Takumi with a speed buff handles a stock Lyn easily even without Bowbreaker.
I'm sitting on my spare Hector for now, I was going to make a DC Titania to be a Reinhardt destroyer, but I've got a feeling that when they finally add Beaststone users there will be at least one who is stupidly overpowered and will love DC.

Yea I guess it's time to kit more mages out to counter Lyn.
These maps are still garbage though.

There needs to be more Deathblow fodder that isn't gated behind pulling 5* units or going through Colorless Hell.

Typically getting north of 4810 gets you in. Then you can take it easy next week.
It's been way too long since I tried to play this game properly. Given my current set of 5* and other various units linked below what kind of set up would be my best? ( please note one of the spring Camilla is running gronnraven and TA, the other two I hadn't decided if I wanted to merge into her or feed to others.)
My old setup was fem Corrin + Merric +olivia + rotating 4th although for a long stretch it was Linde. Corrin baited and tanked then sealed res while Merric and linde came in for the kills. Olivia danced for whomever needed dancing and sniped the odd green mage.
Note that I also have 200 orbs to pull with and 85k feathers to use on skill/ merge fodder.
Thanks for anyone who offers to help.

Doing my AA run right now. I got a fairly unpleasant team on the god forsaken boat map and wow fliers are amazingly useful there. You get so much more space to move and make the AI split up. I haven't seen the horrible map with breakable walls/defense tiles in the middle yet, hoping it's not waiting to troll me on match 7.
Got up to match 6 on my lunch break, haven't spent horse emblem yet and the team I'm facing seems your standard dancer/nino/eirika stuff. Hector got used on map 2 to take out a merged brave lyn that had Desperation on for some reason (probably the BHB?). The 4* FRobin I made took all of 2 damage from a Lyn when I put her on a defense tile with Fortify Defense. It was glorious.

Been playing for two weeks and have been extremely lucky thus far on rng.
Pulled twice on the Brave Merc summon yesterday and hit a Brave Lucina and Brave Ike. Roy was my free hero summon. Hawkeye's been a pretty useful aoe dd too.

I basically need 20k feathers so I can give Lyn Brave Bow. I'm at like 14k. Feels bad since I need her to beat the Infernal event.
Not bad, Lyn has been getting all the attention but all the Brave units are good in their own right. I'd advise trying to get Hector while he's still on focus - I wouldn't expect to see him back for a while. He's...a lot better than Hawkeye, lol. Ninian is also worth chasing, all the dancers are good to have.
Tempest trial starts tomorrow. Autobattle your ass off for hero merit and rewards, 6k should be doable pretty quickly.
Dance and Reposition is just too strong. Trivialized infernal.
Don't even need a Dancer. Xander will do. Just have Lyn kill the blue mage and have Xander reposition her to the right and then have Camus reposition her again downwards. Xander insta kills the other mage and ninja can't do anything. Real easy map for the horse team
Nothing short of greens and raven mages can survive QP +atk triple buffed summoner supported Rein time.

QP moonbow took out my Julia a couple times. Since then I have specialty units to take out that specific variation.
Now the game became coming up with specific counters. I'm working on F Robin to help out M Robin to take care of all those archers in the arena.

That's why I said screw everyone that said TA3 was overkill for Julia. Helps reduce almost all damage from blue mages and makes her slightly better on player phase with that woeful 26 speed.
Even some green mages die. My Nino was killed multiple times by a Reinhardt because I forgot about that.
The problem is that Panic Ploy only works during your phase and Nowi/Hector is so slow that you can't kill him before he teleports across the map on his phase.

Yeah, I mostly just posted that as I thought it'd be beneficial for some people to see how positional moves/strategies work. I know most people on this board do this already, but there's some lurkers and folks coming back to the game that might benefit from it. I find moves like that often critical in the Arena Assault mode when you don't always have the firepower.
