Horse emblem team destroyed all these Trial maps with ease. Blade tome Cecilia deletes almost anything, Reinhardt deletes any reds she can't handle, Xander w/ QR deletes any greens she can't handle, and Elise w/ Rehabilitate, Live to Serve, and Heavenly Light keeps the party healed.
Yeah, I just found out about that. Autobattling Map 2 with a lot of blue units makes for easy Hero Merit for the stamina.

So far, I can't get trial 3 hard with no death. They're way to buffed to OHKO them all in one turn even with Reinhardt and Cecila.

Christ I am trying to level a 5* Caeda with worst IV to at least use her as a flyer emblem buff and occasional Armor killer and it's the most frustrating experience... I have wasted so much Stamina because she dies all the time even with healer and 2 dancers. They should have not created characters that are so weak that worst IV makes them really worthless. Everyone at 5* should have the potential to at least be decentish.

Haha so true. I finally got one to level 30 and it's been a lot of work. There should be a glass straw category for her and a few other terrible units.

Yea I put it on my Catria, helps making her "close" to decent. She will really only work with a Flyer team and I will probably build her for survival more than offense. I can't imagine grinding SP for her until double SP and it's hard to be motivated to invest anything SI wise in such a terrible character...

I gave up on leveling mine. She has 27 attack at level 32 (4*), and I just can't be bothered to try. I had Palla, so I just got her up instead, but damn was Caeda a pain.

I wish I got her at 4*, would feel less bad to sacrifice her for her Fortify Flyers since she's the only one with it... I would have also kept my rate up %.

I'm just going for the full S team of Ike, Hector, Nowi + Ninian to back them up. Been doing pretty well. They all eat their respective counter color alive.
I don't remember, which map/units is that one? Anyway you don't need to OHKO them all in one turn, take multiple turns if you have to. Also I do use QR Xander to get some KO's too. What's your team?
Edit: Oh, i think i remember. That's the bridges map right? Position Xander on the top half of the lower right bridge, Cecilia below him, Elise below her, and Reinhardt left of Elise. Then wait for Minerva to suicide into Xander. After that Robin and Hinoka should have left Caeda behind and you can send Reinhardt up the left bridge to OHKO Robin, move Xander out of the way and have Cecilia OHKO Hinoka. After that Caeda is all that's left and she should be easy, i think i weakened her with Reinhardt then finished her with Xander.
This might not work if you don't have the same units/skills though. Xander won't ORKO Minerva without QR for example. Also I have Hone Cav on Elise, and both Xander and Cecilia have Fortify Cav. Reinhardt has his default skills and Death Blow 2.

It's the bridge one that my horsey team usually excels. Mine is Xander with QR, Reinhardt, Cecila, and Ursula who I'm waiting for Camus to replace with.
It'll take a few more tries to get the reward but that seems the only hard one I have found.
that one was strange. i beat it because i switched out nino for someone else and the units just split up differently and let me kill them easier.
edit: is QR 2 fine for most units?
Yes. QR2 is functionally almost the same as QR3.

Totally fine, and no unit has QR3 at 4* at the moment.
I like how this person spent the reasorces to get 9 5* sophias but didnt even bother with a support skill for the arena points

It's probably to make use of the AI's order of operations. I assume the defense party had a dancer. Ranged units without assist skills act before dancers.

Caeda and Hinoka in the same roll. Nice.
Makes sense, harsh command would be good for this though

Another all time best, not like I'm staying in this tier though.

I found this on YouTube https://youtu.be/-zDAmPuFcEs.
I guess, this is how the whales play. I didn't know 5100+ score was possible.

I give up on the Celica banner. Annoyed that I end up with a 5* Roy and a 5* Male Corrin over many rolls and no Celica.
Spent my other orbs on the GHB banner, got Klein and Ninian when I wanted Hinoka. (Didn't get much blue orbs.)
I'll have to wait for the next banner with Hinoka, maybe when they have another hero fest.

I'm flat out not having fun with arena at this point. I get through a few battles then just get absolutely destroyed by some team while I have to drag along some bonus unit just to compete for points who ends up contributing nothing.
Why double hone? I thought hone doesn't stack.

So you can spread it out and everyone gets some kind of buff.
Assuming you have 3 horse, 1 has hone and the other with fortify and finally the blade has hone so when they get into formation the blade gets fully buffed and the other two get hone.

Oh sure I'll fight whales on a map that's 50% defensive tiles.
Everything that should have been a one-shot wasn't then everything just went to shit.

An epic tale of my final battle in the arena. Long story short: Nino is a god, defense tile allowed my Nino survive attacking and killing Hector, baiting Effie around a single tile so I could keep hitting her at a safe distance was fun.
I dropped 3000 ranks overnight so I guess I'll need to do a perfect run after all. Back to the grind.
I just wish I had a map where I could practice against a dancer and breakable walls. If I could predict what the AI would do reliably it'd be fine.
Defense tiles are usually an advantage for me as I can manipulate the AI off of them, or just blow through their defenses with a blade tome user.

On defense, you don't want support skills on non-armor because the AI is terrible at using them.
But he's a spineless coward

I've always felt it was a situation that she is simply a 'solid' unit. For my purposes she always viable in almost any team I set up and easily the best blue Lancer I have, her DEF buff and ATK buff/debuff are extremely valuable to me.
She was stronger pre-inheritance because her default skill set is very good, which still influences how people think of her as a unit. Kind of like how some characters are still thought of as trash despite being very strong with the right setup.
Post-inheritance she remains revelant - her stats are all kind of in the sweet spot of good enough to be usable if not exceptional. She's not in danger of being doubled by most units provided you keep speed+3 or fury on her, she has a 16 atk weapon with a decent ability and reasonable defensive stats. She a balanced unit that fits well into any team and you get a free arena bonus unit once every 3 weeks, sounds like a good value proposition to me. But I've never said she'd be an overpowering force like Hector, Linde, Nino, or the like.

I get the feeling that in order to go to tier 19 one will need a score of 4860+, maybe even higher than that. I am about to fall out of the top 40% with a score of 4844 with 4 days left. be interested to know the actual cut off score.
meanwhile from 17 to 18 might be possible even with a 1-death run and unmerged units, lol. I'm not worried about my ranking long term once the ranks fill out.

I wonder how much movement there will be in Tier 18 in the next few days. 4862 points puts me at 1062 of the 1832 spots available to move to Tier 19. Some people are in this tier but easily cannot come close to that kind of points.
At this point it's all about picking the fights with most points for people like me who do not have a merged teams. I had a streak end on fight 7 where I won a 702 points fight early in. My current streak had a 692 in there, huge difference. Not having crests anymore, can't really be picky. 7 fights at 694 won't even beat my score. I guess I can use normal daily sword refresh and pick 696 points and up. Orrrrrr don't fret and accept to rank down.

How is he as a unit? Good enough to replace Camilla jn Flier Emblem spot?
He kills lances. He is very, very good at that. But if you want a general use heavy axe flier maybe Michalis is a better choice.

Oh wow. I get 696 occasionally, but there is no way I am going to be that selective. 690-694 are the common scores presented to me with a few 696 on the high end and 688 on the low end mixed in. Back down to tier 17 I go. Probably going to be bouncing back and forth between tiers 17 and 18.
4844 in T17 this week would probably have you in the top 1000. You'll only need to be in the top 13-14k to go to 18 from here. I doubt you have much to worry about tbh.
