Yes, that map can be annoying, but what you have to do is split their units up. I take two of mine up top and move two to the bottom. If you go in the middle, you are going to lose a unit.

Yeah, that's how I handled that one. Sent a fortified Rein up top with Xander to pull the other Rein over. Sent Camus and Olivia low to pull Azura down. After killing Rein I threw Camus back into the middle to deal with Ryoma and Takumi...WoM3 Azura then warps in and takes some pot shots as well, whoops. He survived with 1 HP after Fury haha.

I have a regular Blarblade Ursula too, but it probably doesn't help that my Jagen/Gunther aren't level 40. It just sucks to level up those two.

I used Gunter/Jagen as my horse unit leveling escorts, but they'll be retired soon. Or maybe not...Jagen is a good magic tank even at 4*. They hit decently hard but are so slow they rarely finish their targets off, which comes in handy when you want to funnel XP into one unit. I think I have both at nearly 500 hero merit just from helping other units level.

Anyways, Camus is 5* now. I'll try and get him to 40 tonight. I gave him fortify res 1-2 from a 3* Sophia which allowed me to transfer Fury 2 and Fortify Cavalry to him from a Jagen. Fury 2 isn't optimal but better than nothing. I don't have a Vantage for him, so I need to pick out a B slot still.

That's an excellent idea. I was leaning towards giving Reinhardt the fortify cav until I hear this idea.

My Camus can use fury 2 as well. Hmm, I'm paralyzed with this decision.

Why level them up?
Because without any mobility skills on the team, sometimes I need one of them to tank a hit now and then to keep people from getting to Ursula.

I just ran into a 696 team for the first time. Wasn't anything terribly special, just a bunch of very highly merged units. I guess bringing a +1 5* really helps.

I've got a +ATK -SPD 4* Clarine. But I've only just realised that my 5* Bridal Lyn is +SPD -RES. Hmmm...🤔
 
I'm trying to get a bonus unit ready for tempest mode and I figured I'd go for a TA M Robin to cover both red and colorless. Now my issue is if I should just keep my +def - res 4* or grind either a neutral 4* or a +spd - res 3* :/
 
I like that update with the extra team slots and naming ability. Extra slots allow you to have preset teams that aren't that serious but one might like to goof around/level up. Like calling upon a team of "Sword Waifus" or "Tough Guys" (axe dudes) when the enemy team is appropriate.

+Spd helps MRobin quite a lot, since normally he's just under the threshold for doubling some things. Keep in mind that his 4* version is pretty weak, though. The 5* weapon helps a lot for him because his attack is pretty low to begin with.

I'm sad that you can't put emojis in team names.

TA MRobin was my first 5* ever and probably still my favorite unit in the game. He can be an absolute tank if you need him to be and deals with those pesky archers very very well.

I think I'm actually going to make my first attempt with Nino, MRobin, Roy, and Lachesis. There isn't much that team can't handle. It is far from my A team, but if I were to pick a team that could survive 7 rounds against anything, that'd probably be it. Funny enough if you inserted Subaki for Lachesis that's basically the team I played with for the first couple months of the game.

If Camus makes a surprise appearance as a Bonus character then I'll go Pony Emblem with Lachesis. I'm tempted to run Fae at some point and give her ardent sacrifice and act as a healer/mage sponge.

Yeah the attack is unfortunate but I'm not spending the 20k feathers I was saving for Camus on him :|

Spent around 200 orbs, at least I got the characters I wanted.

I've spent probably 100 orbs (spent on red only) trying to grab Lyn when she was a focus character when the game launched.

Since then I've been mostly stockpiling the orbs (though I did grab an Azura during the boosted focus event).

Now I've spent nearly 100 orbs (spent on colorless only) trying to get bridal Lyn this time around, and only one non-focused five star.

WHY WILL SHE NOT GRACE ME WITH HER PRESENCE?

I'm guessing the usual layout is recommended for Camus?

Fury, Vantage, Goad Calvary? Is there a better A or B skill to put on him? What about his special?

His durability and Distant Counter signature weapon makes him good Candidate for Quick Riposte. Swordbreaker too.

Is there any character that makes a particularly good Firesweep bow user? I have a +Speed Setsuna but her attack is a bit low if she not quadding with a Luna behind her. Maybe a neutral Bride Cordelia?

There are a few units that work well for Firesweeping. Though depending on your Faye, she may still end up the best. Your Firesweeper doesn't really aim to 1 round enemies, but to dual/weaken them. To that end, most archers do fairly well. I'll just list a few of the better ones.

+Attack/Speed Takumi
+Attack/Speed Jeorge
+Attack Setsuna
+Speed Rebecca
+Attack/Speed Faye
+Attack/Speed B!Cordelia (she is pretty fragile though)

For the Faye build, you'll want to give her Darting Blow 3 and Seal Speed 3 if I remember right. Assuming she initiates, she should be able to tank every unit in the game and kill most on the next round. I don't have the duel calc around though. I think the only real threats are brave users, who will put out too much damage. Play around with Faye though before burning her. Her defenses are amazing, but people ignore it due to her bad speed.

This is good to know, thanks.

I have gotten quite a few archers but the +Attack ones seem to evade me. I wanted to use Cordelia more as a pseudo Erika anyway, Faye is +Hp-Def so I didn't fall in love or anything

Edit: Actually I do have a +Attack Klein...but he is 4* and he's so good for Deathblow snackers. Hmmmmm

It may sound odd but I'm impressed by Genny how she could actually kill someone as a healer. She's better than my stupid Caeda at it for sure. I just wish her speed is tad faster like 30.
 
So hyped for the new mode in 20 minutes! I have about 10 Stamina Potions to spend on it if needed. I really hope that it will be very well made and give the right amount of challenge. Can't wait to see all the possible rewards!

Ooof, this mode is kinda hard. I think I need to get off my ass and just level these other people, instead of waiting for a SP event

Holy shit. Did the best I could, 7 battles, deathless and decent turn count, only worth 705... This is going to be a crazy grind, isn't it. I can live without those orbs but wtf is with the "special CD-1 at the start" seal requiring 50k points. lol


Also, can anyone confirm that the end boss will always be Veronica? Because if that is the case I need to bring along my red distant counter. My last battle is with her and Julia, gave me huge headache because my usual choice of red is Olivia. Not feeling like going right back in after a tiring first run.

Bringing in a dancer helps a lot in terms of both combat and turn count though; I will be reluctant to switch her out in exchange for Ike just for the final map.

So I think I'm going to need to burn feathers to get a better team for this. The question is who is better -atk/+spd 5* Nino or -(HP or res)/+atk 4*+5 cecilia?

As suspected, healers finally have a use. I need more than the token 4* Priscilla I've been using for training tower now. I'm really enjoying the new mode but it does go a little overboard with enemy statistics towards the end on higher difficulties. Funniest thing I've ran into so far is on map 4 of the 5 map Lunatic mode which may as well have been called the 'We knew you would bring Hector' map in my case with the game throwing two hammer-wielding units at me.

Overall I'm enjoying this even if it is just another frame for grinding. Decent SP, Hero Merit, Orb and Feather payouts attached to something challenging. I don't see all those orb rewards as freebies though. I imagine trying to maximise this event is a good way to use a lot of stamina potions and the orbs are there replacements for those when you run out rather than summoning.

MVPs so far are M Robin, Priscilla, Hector (as always) and my strange renewal build Adult Tiki who just won't die.

My run is deathless and my survival rating is only A. How the hell do you even get S? Minimum damage sustained? lol

Not sure about turn count though.
 
Not sure why I got an E for speed. Went deathless until the last map then switched teams once.

Looks like Masked Lucina comes without skills. Doesn't matter much anymore. Would have preferred Veronica.

When you realize you have, since the merging, Lightning Breath equipped instead of Lightning Breath + on your 5* +1 Nowi...

This mode is actually super fun. I like how unlike arena its cumulative, so i dont get salty if someone dies cuz its still worth finishing. I also love how it makes healers really important, or at least healer chrom
 
Finally managed to beat Lunatic Camus lol Used a 4* Nino (wreck Camus), 4* Subaki (bait healer and Red Mage), 5* Eirika (pump Nino and destroyed everyone else on the map) and a 5* Ninian (duh).

Man, I fail at the second hardest map series already. D:
So far, after finishing the first 3 map series once and failing 4 times now on the first lunatic one, I have nearly 1,3k points. The grind will be insane, especially if someone wants the 50k seal.

Even though, I really like this. And it's definitly on the harder side. Doesn't really help that I only have 1 max level healer and 2 blue dancers, that screws me. And these stats, holy shit. 74 HP Hectors I can't 1 turn and who counterkill and double some of my sword users. The stuff of nightmares. And Veronica herself, 57 ATK, 66 HP.
