Haha I was thinking about the same as I have an extra Hector now. It's more of a surprise joke than actually useful, though.
Yeah, some of these things strike me as more silly than useful.
I also saw a Nino with Close Counter and a Ninian with Lightning Breath+.

Thanks guys, I guess I can finally try to win some arena battles. Didn't realize how much stronger people got since I stop playing.
I thought up that Titania build the other day and I'd love to hear how it does in arena. It's the ultimate 'fuck off Reinhardt'.

I jumped on his bandwagon as soon as he came out. People slept on him because his speed is atrocious and base attack is low, but neither of those matter if he is killing anything that moves.

Isn't that true to a lot of mages in the game? I lost to Julia this morning despite of my death blow equipped Reinhardt. Even Ursula in the same team beat my Reinhardt.
Surely, some are more op than others but nothing is impossibly op, I think.
But Julia doesn't cover half the map with her movement. She is easily the second best character right now though.
My team currently has no one who can tank him, and every Rein encounter takes at least twice as long as any other arena fight because I have to plan so carefully. I can beat him if he walks into my range, but I have to bait him into walking close without also attacking anyone.
Rein + dancer is pretty bullshit.
is yours +atk and running a team supporting him with hone/goad cavalry? That's when he becomes 'OP'. That and a +4 one will get matched up against unmerged infantry/armor because his total stats are so low. .
they won't nerf him outright but I expect more counters in the form of passive skills in the near future. Hopefully they don't come with horrible drawbacks like Windsweep.
Julia is his hard counter (not counting extensive inheritance on other greens) so I have to question why you'd even mess with her using him. But yeah just because he can't beat one character doesn't mean he's not ridiculous.
Use a dancer till camus comes out, his leaked stats look good and he has a distant counter lance
That's how I build teams too. I just ask myself how that team would answer common popular units.
What would I do against Hector/Linde/Rein/Nowi/Takumi/etc?

Mine isn't atk+ but almost always buffed by Azura. Surely, he can destroy a team but what I was pointing out is so is Nino, Julia, and others in the right team. I don't feel he's the single most op unit.
Horse emblem Reinhardt sounds broken, though. I hope I never see the team.

Man my Ryoma really needs Vantage. Having Fury 3 without it is just a death wish for him. I have a 4* Reinhardt ready to give it up, but I need the feathers to promote him to 5* first.
As a side note, how many total skills can a unit inherit? Is there a limit? Like if I wanted to build my Ryoma to have 2 totally different skill builds, could I do it?

I don't know of any limits. Some of my older characters have a big pile of inherited skills just sitting around from experimenting with different builds.
I thought Rein had Vantage 3 at 4*?
I've got 26 skills on one character - inherited but not all learned. Different builds for different situations.
He does indeed. I'm looking at my 4* Reinhardt with Vantage 3 right now.
My collection of Laslows is ready.

Linde is absolutely ridiculous, she is the human embodiment of life and death 15
Linde is kind of the blue version of Julia, but with speed rather than res. She's a magic nuker, fast enough to avoid getting doubled by most things, but is very fragile otherwise.
She's plenty strong with her default tome, but add Blarblade+ on her and she becomes even more powerful at nuking.
I think she fits a similar "blue delete button who should ideally never be placed in danger" role as Rein.
MRobin is more defensively oriented, packing less punch but making up for it by being much better at bait-and-counter tactics.
I'm using Azura right now but I didn't know about Camus. That seem like a good choice!
The problem with Linde is that she fights a role that really isn't needed. Most people already have answers for red units, with good blue units being relatively common. Maybe if red mages were more common.
Linde can blow up pretty much every color.
I have a +atk blade tome Linde.
Regular Linde is pretty scary and deletes most of the game when set up with fury/desperation. Blarblade Linde is kind of overkill but I got tired of watching merged Eirikas occasionally survive with 1 hp. Dunno if I'd say it was really worth 20k feathers, but it's eliminated a little bit of arena stress because all these distant counter units can't hurt you if they are dead in one shot.
Reinhardt instagibs a lot of the cast, but he has a different role than Linde. If he has to take a hit he's going to get one weak attack off, then get doubled and die. Linde isn't the kill button out of the gate that Reinhardt is, but typically once any threats to her are eliminated from the map and she's in desperation mode, I just roll over everything with her. Hector for example, I usually just kill with Linde even if Ike is nearby because why not.
well, I use mine as an answer to almost anything that isn't a 40+ speed green or Julia. You don't see B tomebreaker a lot, an MRobin sucker punched me with it once but that was before I ascended to the point where I can one shot him with buffs.
Do you have a spare Nino for Cecilia to take gronnblade and drawback?
Or Odin for Ursula?
yep, got a crappy +atk - spd nino and a bunch of 3 star odins. so i guess those two plus maybe jagen and gunter? or at least their hone and fortify on other units?
For fliers, I don't see a Hinoka so you don't have Hone Fliers for offense, though Caeda for Fortify Fliers is nice. You also have plenty of Pallas for Goad Fliers, which you'll want to pass to anyone who's not sporting Hone/Fortify Fliers. You also have Bunnilla, who is great for a flying team.almost done the armor tier 10 quest because hector and effie just demolish everything. what are my best combinations for a horse / flier team?
Your team probably isn't complete for arena without Hone Fliers, but if you're just doing the training tower quests and want to minimize spending on promotions/SI, then you could probably do something like... Claire(forgot her name)/Bunnilla/Caeda/Cherche? Or Subaki/Bunnilla/Caeda/Cherche.

Phew. Bought 20 orbs and got a another Ryoma with +HP/-Res. Only took 2 orbs so I have some to spare for the mage banner.
If I merge them will I end up in Arena whale hell or no? This would be my only merged unit.

thanks, and yeah this isn't going to touch arena. just for this month's quest and whatever future quests where you need specific units
I could merge these Hectors but I'm terrified to. I already fight full +5 teams and I have no merged anything.
For now I need em both to do this armor quest so I'll hold off. If I do merge later on that's a ton of free SP worth of inherited crap I can give the better one.
Depending on the strength of their 3* versions, you could try Catria too. Catria is great at multi-turn fights because of Armored Blow and Seal Attack.
Just put a blade tome on a pony and use hone/fortify cavs and you're good.

Ursula with Blade tome/Gunter/Jaegan/Eliwood is what I used last time this quest happened. The cavalry buffs turned Ursula into such a nuke she solo'd everytime. The best part is that because of it leveling everyone else past learning their buff skill is irrelevant. Hell with Fortify + Ward Cavalry even they were tanking lv40 hits.
Yeah, if you're not doing arena, just the non-plused blade tome is probably fine, 90% of the time

Trash pull. At least I got another Bonfire and Reposition.
I got my tenth Est!
I got my tenth Est!
I once fought someone in arena that had a 4* +10 Est with carrot lance+ on their team.
Now Est the time.
Simply the Est of us.
The Est in the West.
It was the Est of times, it was the worst of times.
The Wild Wild Est.
etc...
