Sure. The latest contents, especially Squad Assault is definitely sending that signal. I won't be surprised if they introduce a fatigue mechanism in arena in the future that poses restrictions like each unit can only participate in one match per day or something.

Yeah, I used to have a very core team that could handle just about anything, but with the newer content these days, I've come to appreciate the other ~40 or so units that I've leveled up since launch. I miss using my "main" team, but customizing to each situation is way more effective now.
They could add a second kind of Arena based on squads.

Thanks to that Chain Battles tip, I got my first few Lv40 characters ever, and I've been playing since the game launched.
Lucina, Spring Chrom, Young Tiki, and FemCorrin, all 5 star, are what I got to 40 so far.
Is Genny any good? I have Lucina set up where she has the skill that takes away health for an attack buff, and Tiki doesn't always heal those next to her when I lead with her, so Lucina barely survives sometimes.

How are Clair and Mae as units?
Ghost is Bad
Banned
clair is ass mae is good.
Clair's bad because she's in a category filled with more focused units (blue fliers). Mae's decent and can be pretty monstrous under the right conditions with her default tome.
There's other units in both I'd recommend over them in both their respective categories for certain, though Mae's definitely workable.

Thanks. I've never had any luck with getting Linde ;_; so maybe I'll try pulling for Mae

They should do is make all future TT reward characters x1.4 bonus units. Having to own one of them out of pure luck is a pain.

Lord, my Faye has the worst nature ever. (+HP/-SPD)
I wasn't ever planning on using her seriously, but I debated training her a bit for the TT. Now I'm just going to drag her Lv. 1 butt along and bench her as Firesweep Bow fodder for a future archer I prefer.

But then everyone would just use the Askran units and Nintendo can't dwindle us more.

Tobin has Armorslayer+. Seriously?
Well, achieved the best possible score I can get in the 1st run. Good bye my sweet 705, it was good knowing you
Escape Route Reinhardt + Wings of Mercy Olivia combo is just the Flying Destroyer of Tempest. In the unlikely event of something Atk+ DB Moonbow QP Reinhardt cannot destroy shows up, Fury Olivia slices it in halves with Ruby Sword+.
Still going to be a shitty long grind though.

no. orb rewards are the same. difference between this tempest & previous one (other than seal & chara) is 40k & 50k reward switched around. no difference in the orb value

Considering Masked Marth appeared in the cutscene it would've been appropiate to have her as a bonus too imo
Celica replaces Veronica it seems. I'm more than ok with that.

So I managed to pull a +Atk Bride Cordelia a while back and with double SP weekend now being a thing along with spending 40,000 feathers to get Brave Bow+ and Life and Death 3 for skill inheritance just for her. Finished learning most of her skills like Luna and Desperation 3 along with the other skills mentioned earlier and decided to take her for a spin into the Tempest with 2 dancers equipped with Wings of Mercy and Mae just for the bonus.
She killed everything....

Speaking of the long ass Tempest grind, the increase in scores of normal and hard difficulties is actually quite substantial. I'm now seriously considering auto-battling the lower difficulties. Thankfully, this time around the 2nd seal reward is "only" at 40K. To get it, it may be viable to auto-battle the lower difficulties for most of the time and only play manually from time to time when I feel like it.
For reference, with Sharena in the team, auto-battling the lowest difficulty (with enemies at lv20) yields 194 points (if you have a 40% bonus unit, then it will be 226). That's not bad at all; that's almost 3000 points a day. With 2 weeks you are going to get about 40k points naturally, just enough for Phantom Spd! Well, of course this is assuming you do not waste any stamina and just use them for this, but the number is looking good nonetheless. I think I will be doing this as soon as I get bored by the super repetitive Tempest.

I'm really liking the new reward tiers for Tempest, going to start soon. Got a max level Alm who will have to do for now I guess.
EDIT: (Important) For those who don't know, in the final round, units you kill will stay dead when you bring your next team in. I just killed Celica with my A team and she's not there for my B team. The Stahl I attacked and nearly killed also has lower hp than the other enemy units. This will make it easier for a lot of people.

If you're looking for a standard healer, I'd rather you 5* a Wrys. Wrys is just much more durable than Genny while having similar Spd.
If you're looking for a combat healer, go for it. She's not the best at it, but she's carrying Wrathful Staff which the troubadours (Elise, Priscilla, Clarine) can make excellent use of.

Having no 40% bonus hero is going to suck while I'm trying to get all the Tempest Rewards.
Same. I get slightly more than 500 (530-550) per win. I feel like they made the Tempest trial (esp the last stage) easier.
This. I have to use Sharena. I do have 85 Orbs, but I really don't want to use them on this banner. I would like to at least get the 50k Seal again, but I doubt I will this time with only ~500-600 points max or below 300 if I don't finish it.

How long do the "currently earning 2x SP" things last Typically?
Every Friday and Saturday now.
Take advantage of this, boys & girls.
Is is just me or have they relaxed the turn count requirement for A speed rating this time around? I was using Horse Emblem and thanks to the cemetery map I wasted quite a few of turns for positioning and getting around. I thought I was getting a C but it turned out to be still A. Weird, but not gonna complain though, obviously.
Well, the good news is that the seal is at "only" 40k instead of 50k now.

Oh god this is awesome. Especially with the new SP farming method! I should finally be able to finish my Effie and Bridal Cordelia I think.
Thank you!
Enjoying the changes to Tempest, but not seeing the point for the Hard 3 Battles when the reward isn't that much more than the Normal 3 Battles which are super easy.
Still, might acutally get the bonus character this time to balance out all the crap pulls I've been getting.

I think I'm gonna start doing Hard 5 since its so much faster and gives about the same exp as Lunatic 5.
My team is not good enough to complete Lunatic 7 consistently.
Heck I can't even complete Lunatic 5 100 percent. Depending on how many of my blues get taken out (I have 3 total), I just can't beat Cecilla in the last battle. Heck even with blues, she 1 attack my blue mage on a defense square.

TT is much easier than before. And that's good for the people who is starting playing or can't play as much as they wish.

I haven't touched Chain Missions but they are basically a permanent TT so you shouldn't worry about them now and instead focus on TT and GHB.
Makes sense. Will do.Bamboo 竹;242833998 said:
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll start doing this right off the bat, since I'm usually sitting on 99 stamina these days due to less interest and less time to play. Might as well spend the stamina on something.
I agree about needing to build a deeper roster instead of just one good team. The chain thing that gave the HP seal recently took pretty much my whole roster, and if I had merged/SIed more aggressively, I wouldn't have had the units to clear it. Even units that are pretty bad in arena, like Jakob, still came in very handy there.
I think I'm notably missing a good red mage now, so maybe I'll promote Tharja.
Quick Riposte.
