Clarisse has 31/34 supposedly. So neutral B!Cordelia still wins out.

Got 5* Reinhardt from the Vantage banner after just 4 blue-focused pulls and he's +ATK/-DEF so I feel blessed by the RNG god. Now the problem is that I don't have any Klein to give him Deathblow 3. 
He will be incomplete for a while.

Infantry that uses it well: Charlotte, Donnel, (Lukas).
Armor: Effie.
Cavalry: Peri.
Fliers: Est.
If you have +Atk Effie or Est I would prioritize those.
Lancers with low speed, or glass cannons. Effie and Donnel are probably the most common Brave Lance+ users I see that have received it through SI, Peri too.
Lukas is alright with it but his utterly low Speed and Res mean that Red mages 1RKO him.
We've calculated that there are even some situations where an unbuffed Odin kills him 1v1.
That's one of the big reasons we're putting him down into A tier on the Gamepedia list. He's just not on par with Charlotte and Donnel.
He's a better Bartre because he actually also has Speed. His biggest downside is not being able to have a boon, but even at neutral 36 is still plenty strong.
We're moving Frederick up to A+ but are kind of on the fence whether Legion should be on the same level or on one with Bartre.

I'm glad more people are realizing how good Frederick is.

Funny how I just happened to be considering what to do in general with exactly those three. My 5* Peri +spd -res has been surprisingly good so I'm investing in her first.
Also probably just leaving things at 3* Legion and moving on. I have a Spring Chrom as one if my top producers, plus 5* Hawkeye has his moments.

Pulled for the heck of it, and got 5 3* units that had no use. It was like exchanging 20 orbs into a few hundred feathers. I haven't seen Hinata for over a month now.
How would anyone get defense wins if they introduce that into the game?
i will learn from your mistake and hold on to my orbs

Psh, they deserve the reward.

Technically, you don't lose by losing a unit in arena; it just ruins your streak. So, I don't think they deserve it because winning means defeating all enemy units not one.
I don't usually let them have a win in that case, instead I just surrender in the following match which is a waste of dueling sword.

You surrendered; they won.
You surrendering to the next guy instead just makes it dumber because you salty.

If they force you to quit regardless of if you could've beat them or not they deserve the win. To say otherwise is bs and saltiness.

Nah, I surrender to a beginner fight to someone probably newish to give them maybe their only win of the week, someone who has not yet become a cheap Horse Emblem OP Reinhardt asshole user.
Joking aside, I just surrender when I lose someone beside if it's the 6th or 7th fight and I can at least secure the 4k points for the week. I am way too low on Crests to play the salt game, even if once in a rare while I feel like it (but I'd only punish myself).
Talking about Arena, 1644/2372 to move to Tier 20. Did not think I would end up there at less than 48 hours from the end of the season. Would have been more selective if I knew, I accepted 2-3 fights at 692-694 during my streak, thinking that no matter what I was going down to Tier 18. Only lost 300 ranks in the past 32 hours and last 2 days the drop slows down but I might end up just out of the cutoff.

With what score?

Sorry, forgot to put it in the post. 4858 which I find low to reach Tier 20. That's how it goes with them filling up more I guess. Missed going up Tier 19 with 4870something not that long ago.
Does it say 40+1?

She used to be +1 and now +2, but no stats increase from +1.

Need another 25 runs for Quickened Pulse. Don't think I can do it. Thought I played a lot but it only worked out to 50 runs over the last 10 days. Jeez

You can do it.
I believe in you.
Runs just take so long. They are 10 to 15 minutes each. And its so repetitive, same maps, same set of enemies, kidda forced to keep running the same team. The only saving grace is that I can keep trying slightly different skills on my main team, Robin now has Smite.
ranged nukes +dancer. nino cecilia are cheap ones for examples.
i run this season bride cordelia(brave bow+), lucina, nowi and ninian. i got around 12 wins every week since i included cordelia with brave bow. klein, takumi, joerge would work similiar, with good iv.
also use the skill wings of mercy on your units.
This is good advice. Essentially, anything that makes it hard for the enemy player to read all the options your AI team has on the battlefield, can overwhelm them quickly or both. So cavalry mages+dancers, Wings of mercy, Brave weapons, specials with short countdowns, movement abilities that wreck the enemy formation or pull your units back out of range. Favour all-out aggression over defence, so no healers, and skills like life and death, Fury etc. The worst thing you can do is just have four armour/infantry melee units, as it's incredibly easy to see all their options, the player has time to get a strategy in place and thus bait and beat them. If you can put up a defence team than can kill units on turn 1, you'll see a higher return than one that walks slowly at the enemy and gets killed piecemeal.
There's also something to be said for an 'unbalanced' defence team (three blues etc). When attacking, you need to be able to handle anything, but when defending, it doesn't matter how many you lose, you just want a single decent win each week.

This past week in arena I ran into two Armor Emblem teams in a row. I got easy wins on both for exactly the reasons you stated here. Most had Vantage and Distant Counter on them but that didn't matter much when I baited them into attacking my Hector/Lucina/Nowi/Ryoma. My units just said "that tickles" and KOed them in 1-2 rounds.

72k for 10,000 rank isn't enough? There goes the little bit of motivation left. Now, I'm glad this event is for 2 weeks, or I'd rather have it for 1 week similar to the gauntlet.
I'm still deciding between Windsweep bow and brave bow+ for Bride Cordelia. BB gets me more instant kills, but windsweep is safer where everyone is running vantage, QR, and distant counter. Hmm...
Reinhardt with Quickened Pulse is just dirty. Before Kagero could check him and 2HKO but now gets OHKO'd back by Moonbow. A +atk Hector can't OHKO either and needs someone else to get in range.
Reinhardt is the most broken piece of shit I've seen in this game. Guess I need Nino or something.

If QP Reinhardt becomes a recurring problem I'll do Quickened Pulse+Sacred Cowl on Hector. I'm planning on switching to my cavalry team if arena point requirements stay reasonable, buffed Cecilia should be ok even though mine is -res.
Nino is a little low on the HP/res side to be a reliable counter to the +atk, merged, buffed Reinhardts I see most of the time. But HP+3 and Fortify Res should be ok assuming you run Fury on her. The real problem with him is there's a very short list of units that can hard counter him, and you pretty much need to bring them just to do that. Julia and Distant Counter Titania aren't things most people just have lying around either.

Quickened Pulse get!
...Yeah, we need an Infernal 10 next time. Shame it'd be next to useless there though. lol
In other news, Sakura Squadron does it again (via Reddit).
Yikes. lol Didn't figure that many people would aim for 100k points.
If you don't have a hard counter to Hector already, I'd go Firesweep.

Titania is useless against everyone nonblue.
The problem is that the offensive numbers are starting to get higher and higher. With defense lagging behind, it more and more becomes who can OHKO who first. It reminds me of the multiplayer arena in FE7 and 8.

73 364 points is rank 6579 in Tempest right now. Wonder how much I need to do to stay within 10k.
