Is there any way to save a -Atk +Def Ephraim? Maybe with a seal or something 
?

Ephraim's base attack is pretty decent so even with an attack bane he still hits hard. Replace Moonbow with Iceberg to make use of his higher def and you should be fine.

Whoops I was thinking if I should use Shanna for Iceberg lol.

Used the last few orbs I could muster. Pulled 3 Bartres and 2 Arthurs
Fuck green
Fuck green
But no, you should save Shanna for Desperation 3
Finally got a Healer in Elise after having to pull colourless due to not seeing a single red twice in a row while trying to get brave Roy.
Also finally got Lightning Breath + onto Young Tiki, which means I just need to farm a fuckload of SP and then I'll have Fae/Nowi/Tiki with lightning breath+ and Ninian with Fortify Dragons.

Pretty crazy. I had no feathers last week and now I have 30,000. I'm tempted to finally put L&D3 on my Delthea but I occasionally use her to tank magic
How are you building your dragons? I took the plunge today to put Quick Riposte 3 on my Y.Tiki and Nowi.

Finished Arena Assault hell with 4828 points. I was hoping for higher, but I got three 686 matches in a row.
That's 8 points higher than last season, and I finished around #5300 something. Would really love to finish below #5000 this time.
I'm not making any effort in this regular Arena season beyond getting 4000 points. I'll just coast for the rest of the week. I'm at 163 Orbs and 132K feathers. Hoping for great pulls and skill fodder when I eventually summon.

Planned final build is:
Fae: Lightning Breath+, Fury 3, Renewal 3, Threaten Atk 3, Any Seal
Ninian: Light Breath+, Triangle Adept 3, Escape Route 3, Fortify Dragons, Atk Ploy 1 Seal
YTiki: Lightning Breath+, Fury 3*, Quick Riposte 3, Breath of Life 3, Atk +1 Seal
Nowi: Lightning Breath+, Triangle Adept 3, Quick Riposte 3, Threaten Res 3, Spd +1 Seal
* Swap for Triangle Adept in trials/chain challenge etc
Even though it's not finished yet (most chars have their skills at 2 esp Quick Riposte because I've never had 5* Klein/Leo/Subaki) this has been making short work of the tempest trials so far. Might chuck in Distant Def once I hit 20K in the Tempest Trials later. Haven't decided on special attacks and support abilities yet.

I'm building this Fae to put on my Defense Team just to screw with Reinhardt/Horse Teams lol.
Lives through a +10 Fully Buffed Reinhardt and will kill a +0 Fully Buffed B.Lyn (Although Brave Bov will still murder the cutiepie ;-. This is ofc assuming that Panic Ploy won't debuff them.

. This is ofc assuming that Panic Ploy won't debuff them.Similar to mine except that I've got Threaten Speed on Tiki to cover all the relevant debuffs, and Fury and Lightning Breath+ on everyone. I'll probably give Fae something so that she can act as a healer if needed, but I'm waiting for one with decent IVs before I finish building her and seeing how the team performs.
I did the same looking for Ike. Squadron of Berukas and a full regiment of Arthurs and Bartres.

Sitting on 28K feathers and I'm stuck between promoting Klein so that I finally have a 5* brave bow user or finishing leveling and then promote my Felicia for vanity and cute girl reasons.
Will probably wait until the new banner before I decide.

+Atk is better in the higher (whale) tiers though.

Im grinding out my DRIVE team of:
Delthea, Brave Lucina, Brave Ike, and Olivia.
They're all built except for Brave Ike. I haven't given him any abilities besides reposition and he's kind of a monster still. I'm waiting to see if I pull a 2nd Hector so I can donate his Distant Counter to the cause. If not, I'll go a Phys Tank build.
It's a bit harder now without double SP.

Finally got some Brave units from CYL after however many orbs. Lancina and Roy, both of which are more or less neutral IVs.
Since Lancina gives so many goad buffs, maybe I can pair her with Ephriam to make a team that ultra buffs a few physical units?
Mine is -atk +hp, so I built him to specialize against certain units while spending most of his time hanging back.
I tried to put Fury/Lancebreaker on him to help supplement the lower attack and vulnerability to doubling, but I'm probably going to replace Fury with Triangle Adept to make him more of a specialist.
For support, he either has Reposition when working with melee units, or a rally skill if working with a blade tome user.

Ephriam is mostly a buffbot and not so much a front-liner imo. His low speed means he gets doubled too easily.Is there any way to save a -Atk +Def Ephraim? Maybe with a seal or something

Depends on what you want Tana to be. Her high speed makes her good both on offense or defense, though her default lance's defense buff is really good.
IMO Tana with her mostly default kit is better suited to hybrid teams rather than full flyer teams, since Guidance is such an amazing skill.
Cordelia is a good candidate but like you said, her Brave Lance is great for her too.
Though take all that with a grain of salt. I don't have a Firesweep user, and I don't see any obvious candidates for one on my roster either.

He's going to gain +6 in every category if you're running Hone Cav and Fortify Cav.
At some point, you shouldn't worry about IVs, and what the character can actually do. He has galeforce, he's going to get 2 turns in most round he's on player phase. He has a really good exclusive weapon. He's on a horse, and the game now allows supports.
31 speed isn't great (Which Brave Roy (31/34/37)would be at with his speed bane but that's still better speed than say, Xander (24), Leo (19/22/25 ), Elidgen (21/24/28), Luke (24/28/31), Eliwood (26/30/33), and Sthal (23/26/30).
Seth also is at (28/31/34), Cain is a bit faster (29/32/35).
Those are all the red horses currently.
So basically, even with his speed bane, he's potentially still the 4th fastest red horse, and that requires Eliwood to have a speed boon.
Just use your character.

You could also summoner support Brave Roy to put him at near neutral speed.
IMO just about any good unit is still usable, even with bad IVs. Usually -3 atk or -3 speed does not turn an excellent unit into instantly worthless fodder. Hell, a lot of these top-tier units are still faster or stronger than mid or low-tier units AFTER an -atk or -spd IV. You won't win a head to head with a better IV version of the same unit, but it's probably still usable.
If you really don't like your Roy though, you could always promote Xander. Everyone seems to like Xander as their red cav.
Blade tomes are just one way to murder things. I don't see why you couldn't use other ranged cavs like Rein or Bow Lyn.
I quite like having draw back on Fae but given I've set her up with renewal I am tempted to give her reciprocal aid or something instead.
I think probably Nino? Those are the "optimal" skills in her build. She's also easier to eventually +10 (unless you whaled hard enough for S.Elise before lol).

My -Res Nino gets murdered by QP Reinhardt, so I'm guessing so.
Fury is great with Desperation.
I run Triangle Adept myself. Safe KO on Camus and I can bait Reinhardt.
Sweet got my Ninian. Now I don't always have to use Olivia and I can work on a dragon emblem team eventually. Sitting on 212 orbs with more in the wings from TT and story I'd fallen behind on. Should have a good stock ready for the next banner that has something I need for horse or dragon teams.
Edit: ninian is +attack and - defense which isn't optimal but is fine.

On top of making Nino squishier, L&D doesn't particularly synergize with Desperation which is a big part of her killing power. You could do Fury 3 + Summoner Support for +5 to all stats.
Dont think i will ever +10 a Nino but it is more accessible to get than S.Elise.
guess i will just optimise a Nino to get more unit for the Assault map then.
What do you guys do with Masked Marth?
LnD and Desperation seems to be used on all offensive units -_-

I run mine as a Healer actually lol. Got too many Red Units and she's a bit squishy for my liking.
I have a Lucina with expensive stuff like Fury + Renewal, so I put Darting Blow and Drag Back on Masked Marth to try to make her work a little differently. Plus it's less expensive.
Apparently it is now possible to give a score of 742.
Both arena chat and the japanese whales are currently researching how to perfect it with seals like Distant Defense, Quickened Pulse and Atk Ploy without causing the overflow bug.

Alright gonna do this build.
Kinda surprise that i have only pulled 1 Fae after playing since launch.
Yep, people are already getting 5194. Maybe along with the update of "AA defense wins also count", they also squeezed in the update to address the infamous "Amelia Overflow", or maybe it is support contributing to scoring. Hope it is the former because support building is such a grind.
fearlessly accept obvious Sully bait, move Hector in range to panic ploy all the cavalry bullshit, realize I forgot to re-equip it on him...thankfully I had Brave Lyn.
I gotta switch my TT squad around to build up Hector's summoner support soon I guess. I still need Hero Merit on Marthcina and Anna though.

I did it again and blew orbs on Brave banner because I secretly want Lucina or Roy even though I already have 2 Blyns and Bike.
Got a 4* Odin who will go into cold storage until I can convince myself to promote a unit to 5* solely to steal their weapon and give it to someone else. Also got another Selena 4*, Setsuna 3* and Seliph 4*. All of which are good SI bait.
