yeah this one is +atk -spd. I have other things to promote but I won't be feeding her to anyone any time soon.
2/15 on flying units 10th stratum and I don't even have everyone at 40 yet. I may stick with Narcian after all, with Cordelia and Subaki. I'll abuse their triangle advantage weapons and abilities while having Caeda buff everybody. I'll just avoid green units.

Jesus christ. Fuck 10th Stratum Azama and his stupid god damn face. 39 defense and threaten attack meant none of my units aside from Cordelia could damage him, and when she was debuffed she would do 0 damage even with Astra. So I had to trap him in a corner and swap Caeda and Cordelia every turn in order for Cordelia to avoid the threaten attack debuff. It took like 40 fucking turns. The things I do for 3 orbs...

You mean all these types of buffs stack on top of each other? Spd+Atk+Def all at once? I thought only one gets applied at a time.
Darn it... put in a total of 80 orbs during the past 2 weeks or so trying to get a Sanaki/ Ryoma/Leo (or any 5* red). The drop rate was already around 8% or so.
Did a single pull after accumulating 5 orbs, and ended up with 4 blues, and 1 colorless... ended up getting a dupe Ninian with +atk/-spd IV --Drop rates back to 3%
I think the game has gained sentience, and is actively trying to troll me.

Nah true trolling is giving only 3* chars that give an animation. And its all 5 slots.
One of each type will stack, not multiples of each type. Unless we're talking combat buffs but those are different.
And every one of those buffs gets converted to pure damage on Nino's Gronnblade+. Attack counts double.
From buffs alone my Nino gets 17 additional attack for a total of 66. Fury will bring it to 69. I then rely on her to vaporize almost anything, with Ninian providing dances.
That's what it means to build a team around Nino.
Tharja has one too. Nino also just happens to be very fast, so with the right nature and skills she can double pretty much anything.

Ursula has 29 base Atk
Which adds up to 78. This isn't even including Goad Cavalry (+4 Atk), the fact that she'll double a good chunk of the cast with her 38 (42 with Goad Cavalry) Spd, and her Threaten Res 3.
- Blarblade+ (+13~37 Atk)
- Hone Cavalry (+6 Atk)
- Death Blow (+6 Atk)

Yeah, that'd be like the game giving you an actual Savage Blow 3

I kind of want them to drop some of the older 5* units to 3*.
Odin has the blue one. You could give it to Linde for shenanigans lol.
If I had the components, I would be mighty tempted.
Man, are we EVER getting the voting banner? I've been waiting since launch to pull on that one specifically and I'm nearing 300 orbs. It's getting difficult to wait, but I want to go "all-in" on a banner I really want to increase the odds of getting a 5* as much as I can (since I know I'll have terrible luck).
Have they mentioned the banner at all? I'm starting to think it'll never come. :/

Maybe I'll pull Hector or Effie so I can finally finish that 10th Stratum armored quest.
My Nino now has Moonbow.
I'm debating whether to give Nino or Ninian the first Fury. Nino will probably get more mileage out of it, but Ninian has more immediately disposable SP right now. Might take a while for Nino to actually learn Fury 3.
edit: Put Fury on Ninian, immediately got a 4430 Arena run without breaking a sweat. The stat boost definitely helps the Arena score, and Ninian was particularly useful against Ryouma. Nino completely disintegrates everything with Moonbow.

I lost to a Vantage Hector, it was ridiculous. I just need 9 more SP and I can give Triangle Adept to my Eirika to deal with that.
Also, when I decided to replace Eldigan with Ninian for my Defense team, I was laughing when I checked my defense wins.
I remember having 3 wins with Eldigan in there on the first day of the season, I check now and I see 10 defense wins in total with 272 points as the minimum.

A case study in why my Nino kicks ass.
This Hector right here would normally kill my Nino on the counter. In some situations this can be a big problem! With my build, however, he's dead twice over.
If the bonus Moonbow damage didn't one shot him (it did) then Desperation would have taken over and I would get my double in before he could counter.
Result: Hector, Extra Crispy, and a perfect Arena run.

5k feathers! I upgraded my Nino now, pushed her to level 29 using crystals and she is now level 32. Sadly, she is +HP/-DEF, but eh.
That aside, I got my first perfect arena run, but only 4458 points. My team doesn't have that many points (Young Tiki, Ninian, Kagero, Julia), but it works suprisingly well. I also use the same team for defense at the moment, at least that got me 1 win so far, which is more than I got last season... xD
Also, I am at 9/15 cavalry quest. I won't use stamina potions I think, since I won't be able to do the flier and armored one anyway. I am also nearly done with the lunatic quests, only the last 3 remain, but eh. It really gets ugly now, I especially dread 9-5. I think the other 2 are somewhat possible, but 9-5 will be hell.
With all those orbs I am now back at 59 orbs. The next good banner can come, I am prepared!

can you use a light's blessing to cheese the orb quests?
I don't think I'll have much trouble but my best dagger and bow users are level 2. I've given up opening colorless orbs because I just get Wrys.
I should have stopped on this one a long time ago...well over 100 at this point with nothing. And I mean nothing, I've got lots of feathers so I'd be happy a good 4*, but the best thing I found was +atk -hp Subaki. I'm considering cutting my losses and focusing on the Minerva one while it's up, but I'm over 4% appearance rate.

Yes, you can. That's exactly what I want to mention just now. Any quest with "All four must survive" can be done with Light's Blessing, this includes both the training tower quests and main story mission quests. I'll say whenever you are frustrated with any of this, use a light's blessing bring yourself back to sane level. Believe me, it's worth it
It's really just the Hero Battles that you can't use light's blessing.
Decision time: with 5000 free feathers in, I'm at 20K again and can now promote a +Def –Spd 4* Effie I pulled a few days back (was chasing Ninian but got this instead. Not complaining). However, I've also pulled a 4* Eirika after I gave up on solely chasing Ninian and started opening red orbs as well...
I have been running a Nino-buff team since weeks ago and have adapted to that particular play style (still don't have any dancer except the two free Olivias though). My offense team has always been Math, Nowi, Nino and an arena bonus deadweight. I wanted an Eirika but didn't get one so after the SI update I've snapped Fury 3 and buffing skills on Marth. Should this 4* Eirika come earlier I would have promoted her and given her all the goodies, but I'm now a bit too invested in Marth.
So, I'm now thinking about the unthinkable, promote Effie and go all BST crazy with her replacing Nino, my previous MVP who has already inherited Darting Blow 3 and Moonbow. Is this a wise choice? I will need to change my play style a lot to use a full melee team and I bet I will have a much tougher time with team positioning. Also, BST is going to matter a lot less when the April update comes, but again, Effie is a great unit in its own right.
Damn. NEED.TO.MAKE.A.DECISION.NOW

Yeesh. I sniped some more blues because the itch was too strong with all those orbs. Still nothing
I'm tossing up upgrading Anna to 5* since my green pool is still awful this deep into the game but she's melee and mages just seem better 99% of the time. Only green mage I've pulled is Cecelia (awful IV ones at that). Not even freaking Merric!
Swordbreaker is a strong one to help her deal with Lucina/Marth/Chroms.
Effie is most effective with Brave Lance+. If you can get that onto her she's worth building around. However it sounds like you're pretty heavily invested in Nino.
A possible yet unconventional solution: It sounds like you've already given Marth the necessary buffing skills. What you could do is promote Eirika to 5* and then transfer Sieglinde to Marth. If he already has Hone and Rally buffs, Sieglinde will give him every advantage with Nino that Eirika has.
Only problem with Effie getting Brave Lance+ is that it takes 750 SP to unlock it. That's a lot of sacrificed 4* Effies or a lot of grinding.
They really do need to address the SP situation. The current system is not going to cut it.
Merric is all I've got, found him while going after Julia a while ago. I'll be upgrading Nino most likely but I wanted to try and pull some greens to see what I found, first.
Merric's godawful attack stat has screwed me over so much. I just had to use a blessing on 9-3 because he was doing 4 damage to Ursula and 0 to the green mage. Stamina's tight right now considering I only have a week or two to clear the 10th stratum 10 more times, Grand Hero Battle coming up, and these new orb quests. Glad I got all my leveling out of the way yesterday.
My record is over 200...but I'm around 100 on the current banner and 30 on the previous. It's crazy to think that even if I'd bought $100 of orbs and spent those instead of these free ones, I'd have come out of it with almost nothing but a pile of Subakis, FCorrins and Oboros. Inheritance has made getting 4* units less painful but I wish there was a better safety net.
er, I can't check myself as I do not have Eirika, but I thought unique weapons could not be transferred.
You're correct, but Brave Lance+ isn't a unique weapon. Only weapons with special names (Sieglinde, Binding Blade, Falchion, Sol Katti, Fujin Yumi,etc) are considered unique weapons.
EDIT: Read the thing you were quoting more carefully. Yeah, you can't transfer Sieglinde.
I'm not sure tbh, she should still be in ohko territory with that.
Nowi and Female Corrin can use it more effectively for sure
