I've been experimenting with my Nino and you'd be surprised at how often I run into a situation where Desperation would be a game changer for me. And that's even without Fury. After getting some play time with the lineup, Desperation is actually now my #1 priority even above Moonbow.
The glass cannon is a lot less effective when you can't fire. Fully buffed Nino can ORKO almost everything, but if she's at less than max health there are a LOT of heroes who can kill her on the counter.
Desperation ensures that's not an issue.
I was gonna do darting blow/desperation on Nino. If they're all melee she won't use desperation, if they are casters she can take a hit and then desperation is active. Darting blow will damn near ensure the double attack.
Haven't made any commitments yet because I want to do some more pulls this week to see what I find.

Darting Blow is possible for me since I have a Florina, and I did consider it, but since my Nino is already +Speed I think I'd benefit more from Fury.
I wish they had two banners at all times. Is that usually the case with others gatchas?
I need to wait for Minerva though. My +HP/-RES has been my arena MVP for so long. I'd love to +1 her or hope for a better IV. Gamepress suggests +SPD/-DEF, but she seems to already double a ton. She's my only solid green so I have over 1300 SP waiting for SI. SP won't transfer to a different IV though, right? Think I should just keep her and avoid regrinding SP of that's the case. And go-to skills for Minerva?

I wouldn't say multiple banners is common in the gacha world, at least not multiple viable banners. But I think we had 3 or 4 at one point in FEH, so I'm surprised we only have 1. Allows me to save my gems though.

I want more stuff to get Goad Cavalry without skill inheritance.
Rath believe!
I also hate that there are no distinctions between pegasus and dragon knights beyond pegasuses have swords/lances and dragons have axes.
I love mine, she murders mages and blues like no one business, too bad about those pesky archers
What counts as a tank? Robin is 29/22. Lots of characters do better than that. Go here and sort by either Def or Res: https://feheroes.wiki/Stats_Table
Tiki and Nowi stand out as decent characters with really good mitigation, but lots have better Def and Res than Robin.

Yeah, because of archers, the level becomes no fly zone and/or I need to baby her to keep her alive which I don't do with any other units.
Minerva has a legendary weapon (Hauteclare) which is crazy strong and has a Killer Weapon effect. Her stats are better across the board (barring resistance), and she already comes equipped with Life and Death, which is a pretty solid skill for her (though I feel that Fury 3 is better)

oh wow I actually checked cause this seemed silly
but nope, Minerva has +3 HP, +1 attack, +1 speed, +4 defense in exchange for 9 resistance LMAO

Suddenly I'm glad I have a Minerva lying around. I always thought she paled in comparison to Camilla. I really just need to level a bunch of characters and take stock of what I've got! Maybe this weekend!
Feathers came in, muh Nino is now 5* and holy shit leveling her is a snap. She murders everything and I mean everything in one round. Pairing her with some dancers and she'll be 40 in no time.
Now I need my Michalis bonus feathers so I can start feeding her heroes. Desperation and Moonbow to start with. Will make her even more hilariously broke.

Crazy attack and speed with Hauteclere being a powerful killer weapon.
If I ever get around to giving her skills to use on her own and not with other fliers:
Minerva
Hauteclere
Draw Back
Fury
Desperation
Threaten Speed
If I gave my current Minerva Fury, she would have really good defense and resistance. Threaten speed would help to make up for the loss of +2 speed difference with Life and Death.
My Minerva with Fury would have 50 attack and 40 speed would mean that Desperation would help to ORKO enemies before they get to attack me. (Plus, I have Eirika for Hone Speed if need be.)
Of course you could try to do something similar with Camilla but, with her Brave Axe you lose 5 speed so it's hard to be faster than most enemies.
Yes there is always a one day break. Nothing new. It'll be back tonight.
Moonbow is broken on her. Every other attack.
I guess I could do that, Moonbow has shown my Eirika to be able to kill enemies in one round now when she couldn't before.
In regards to SP transference, you are right that it doesn't get transferred when merged, but if you are lucky enough to get another Minerva with better IV, I think she will still be worthy to trained up. In that case, from now until the supposedly April update, you use your existing Minerva, give her whatever skills you want to make use of that 1300SP and enjoy it for now. After the April update which enables inherited skills to get carried over when merging, you merge your old Minerva to this new one with better IV. Sure, you will still need to spend SP to learn these transferred inherited skills on your new Minerva, but a fresh 39 level-ups should still give you lots of SP to help with that, as long as you are clear what you want to get. Iote's Shield for example, only takes 200 * 1.5 = 300 SP.

Of Robin(m), Tharja, Nino, Chrom, and Cordelia, who is worthy of five star status? I have 20K feathers and I'm itching to use it.
Not enough information. With the advent of Skill Inheritance virtually any character can be viable with enough work. People are creating All Flier teams, All Cavalry teams, all kinds of madness going on. I'm personally building a Nino team (which is a very specific type of team) but that's only because the components fell into my lap.
Cheers. I forgot to complete the Arena quests this time around, but oh well.

Based on the meta and best overall stats are there two different choices or does one of the choices stand confidently as both?
I need to know at least what 5* heroes you have and which ones if any that you would prefer to use.
Which is pretty much also the case for almost every mainline FE game except Radiant Dawn (where dracoknights aren't afraid of arrows which is totally unfair)?
Pegasuses have generally higher Res while Wyverns have better Def so there's that as well.
Really depends on your team composition and natures. I'd rather promote a lesser unit than a higher tier one if he/she has a near perfect nature.
Both start with lances so it doesn't make sense that dragon (sorry they're not wyverns) knights are forced to use axes.

Okay. Sorry about that. I didn't know that would be pertinent information. Of my five stars I almost always auto add Hector and Lucina.

Okay you actually have a lot of good shit. You have the components for a Nino team, if that's the direction you want to go, but her nature is relevant too (you want speed and attack). And if you're going with Nino you're probably not going to run Hector or Lucina (Eirika is Nino's partner in crime). We're going to need the natures of all the candidates to decide this. Use any of the various IV calculators out there and get back to us.
My instinct would be to run a vanilla team with Hector, Lucina, MRobin, and Kagero.
A little boring, perhaps, but should be very potent.
Robin is tanky mostly because of his type/weapon advantage.
I've found that Catria and Selena are pretty tanky. Nowi and Tiki are too, though they are obviously weak to Falchion. Then there's Hector. I think Minerva is fairly tough too.
How much did you spend to get all these lol
I'd just up a 4* to feed to your 5* units.

My current team but I am thinking of making a Nino team specifically for defense but if she hits hard enough may use her more since hector is kinda slow and I don't have his wings of glory at 5* yet. My Nino is +Speed -defense I think. Who else goes with her.
please tell me you just send home 90% of your units and you're not so lucky that 1 in 3 units you find is a top tier 5*. I'll just be here in the corner, crying.
That's the perfect Nino nature but she's probably average in a defense team since the AI doesn't know who to buff.

Ah well that sucks. Not a bad thing to have two offensive teams though.
Looks like nobody has posted Michalis's 5* lv40 stats so I might as well just do it:
Looks pretty good, especially for something you get for free. A BST of 173 for a flier is top-notch. I'm definitely leveling up my 4* copy to lv40 if not just for the arena bonus. Judging from the past few GHBs, a flier with good Def could often come in handy.

Oh! So Nino with +SPD -DEF is all good? Thank the heavens! I leveled mine, 4*, to lvl 40 without realising. looooooool
Mages are easily baited with someone with a triangle advantage but I think she's still better than Hector who's usually fodder for reds to feast.
Also get your F-Corrin to lvl. 40 lol
