Technically, I would have gone with something like this since I posted similar builds for Eldigan and Seliph for making tanks.

To note: Threaten attack, Sol and, for non-armoured units Quick Riposte for tanks are skills I'd put in.

However, weapon breakers can negate Quick Riposte so weapon breakers are usually fine too.

But distant counter is obviously not easy to come by.

Well, I have 5* Roy, Ephraim, and Takumi, so I would sort of like to build an arena team around at least 2 of them. I also have a 5* Chrom, Young Tiki, Hawkeye, Gordin, and Eirika, with Hawkeye and Tiki being level 40 already. I also have my level 40 4* Frederick, which I used in my Arena teams for a while.

Here is everything I got
Barring a huge pile of feathers, I think you have no choice but to go vanilla. Put Vantage onto Takumi if you haven't already, then use Young Tiki as your red, Ephraim as your blue, Takumi and a bonus hero. Throw in, I guess, Eirika on defense.

I can see why you're considering Anna. In your situation, you might not have a better option.

Quick question- I want to upgrade a blue (I have no idea of their natures, they are all 4* units).

Sharena, Cordelia, Catria. What would you recommend?


My most common team they'll be assisting is Lucina 5*, Camilla 5*, Lissa/Olivia 4*. I've got Michalis ready to hand over his Iotes Shield too, but also I'm considering promoting him to 5*- he's been a really good all-rounder while I've been levelling him, the defence-down debuff combined with his area-attack special can really change a match on his own.

Sharena. I would consider Cordelia but you already have a flier. Unless you go Flier Emblem which... is entirely viable for you if you have the feathers.

In your situation I would in fact consider building Flier Emblem.

Not mine.

This thought did in fact occur to me, I just knew if anyone was going to do it it would be a whale.

Ok, was able to get an Arena Score of 4022 with Ephraim, Takumi, Roy, and Anna. Somehow 4k points is only Rank 77k, which saddens me.

Anna was only really good for softening up Effies. If I leave her 4 star, I'll need to at least toss a Shove or Swap mobility skill on her. I don't see the Arena heroes changing next week.

Which Assist skill works best on Takumi? I was thinking of giving him Shove also.

Thanks, much appreciated!

If you have a Cherche feed your Camilla to her for Brave Axe+ and then promote her. Feed her your 3* Michalis for Iote's Shield.

Run her alongside a promoted 5* Michalis and Cordelia.

Goad Fliers stacks, so put it on everyone you can. Results should be fun.

So in tonight's Nino Diaries I thought I would shine a light on what Desperation does for your Nino.

See I started this match by baiting out a Merric that someone was running for some reason. He is of course not any sort of match for Nino, but the 14 damage he does turns her into an even more bloodthirsty serial killer.

The next turn now brings Takumi into firing range. Note that Nino is totally unbuffed in this situation (a fully buffed Nino will one shot Takumi) but that's unavoidable sometimes. Normally his damage here would be fatal on the counterattack, except he never lives to counterattack because a Desperate Nino is Best Nino. Did he have Vantage? We will never know.

Next turn. Lightning Breath+? Won't even touch her.

Bonus. Hi Hector.

Bye Hector.
 
I actually cleared the Lunatic version of the Michalis map. I used 3* Olivia, 5* Sanaki, 5* Camilla, and 4* Abel. No skill inheritance other than the Bowbreaker that I put on Sanaki last week, which was irrelevant for this map.

Olivia was only level 25, and Abel was 35. I took out the Cavalier and Sword Pegasus with Abel, the Lance Pegasus with Camilla, and Michalis with Sanaki. The Lance Fighter can't do jack on this map, so he was easy pickings.

The Lunatic Ursula map was too difficult for me, so I gave up on that. It's the only GH battle I didn't beat.

Sounds good!

I don't have Cherche yet but I've got ~150 orbs saved up waiting for a good banner, so that's at least 30-odd random new units :D
/looking on the bright side of the RNG

Well if you want to promote something immediately Sharena is the safe pick.

did a fresh arena run now that I have that ridiculous Nino. Lucina, and 4* Olivia + Ursula as backup and bonus unit. First time I ever went completely deathless, and of course on the 7th match I see a +atk Reinhardt and Klein...

giphy.gif


Since Nino is -res and this team is currently only running one buff, I actually loaded up https://rocketmo.github.io/feh-damage-calc/ to see if she'd live.

Made it out with 7 HP and the rest were a simple matter. Desperation actually got Nowi down safely for me, she would have countered at 1HP if not.

Score was 4342, my best ever but I guess that's the best I can do until I find some stat ball units.

Not mine.

hey, I found something Merric is good for. He'd still need a dance to kill it.

edit: actually not all that scary as brave lance is only good on the attack and she gave up death blow. Still a problem as nobody brings along a tanky green mage or hammer user ever. But at that rating you'd think Hector would be omnipresent and he'd do fine.

I want to buff up my Clarine healer.

What inherit skills should I go for?

search Technoweirdo's post history for some dissertations on running healers...but the general advice is don't use one.

She would be fun in a Horse Emblem team as a buffer with hone cavalry but you'd need to build an entire team, not one character.

I'd give her Gravity as an attack, if you have it. Seems by far the most useful healer attack. If you have other healers to sacrifice then you can customize her any way you want as their skills are all freely transferrable.
 
Gonna wait till the next banner to pull. Don't really want anyone from the Battling Michalis one and already gotten my Ninian from the other one.

So for now it's orb hoarding time.

Do we know the next summon yet?

Also, with skill inheritance, I sort of regret not taking my Robin, Sharena, etc to 40 (or at least the mid 30s) before each promotion.

Lol i got another 5* Cordelia, of course it couldn't be Ninian/Linde/Azura.

Should i fuse them or dismiss the second one for 1000 feathers?

question about lucina.. my 5* has all skills unlocked except aether and I just got up to 500 points for it...should I unlock it or is there some inherit skill I might wanna use these points on instead?

I'd save. I always run Luna on her over aether.

Don't. Aether takes too long to charge up, Luna is more helpful.

I made some poor decisions and I'm going to need to farm SP for days to finish my Lucina's inherited skills.

Holy shit. I can comprehend how much money is needed to get a +10 character.

Almost forgot to do Michalis map

Entered the battle with the wrong team lol but won anyway

5* Ephraim, 5* Nino, 4* Olivia and 5* Lucius (Was planning to use 5* Marth instead of Lucius here lol)

Luckly, Nino could also one shot Michalis, so the lack of Marth was not a problem

you know, I hope they put in more stuff similar to the grand hero battles. The most fun I have in this game is figuring those out. Unless they raise the level cap, it's making me look forward to when they finally put out more story chapters, as presumably lunatic will be tough as nails.

Also, finally got my first defense for the week. Ursula as the lead, Olivia, Nino and Lucina. I never had to think about it before as Robin/Olivia always got me 5+.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
So if i understand it right....if i wanted to teach a unit Hone ATK 3 - i would need to "waste" for example three F.Corrin units ? So that the unit learns Hone ATK and Hone ATK 2 first ?

Havent had any time to try out the Inheritance system yet.


Also general question - the best quad from the units available would be Hector, Takumi, Ryoma and Azura i guess ? Having issues leveling Azura because she is quite weak.

Second question ill have up to 40k feathers soon and wanna evolve a 4* unit now...from those available - which one makes most sense ? I think Kagero...i also have a 3*Nino not on the screen...but dont know how much effort it takes to make them powerful.

No, you can inherit up to 3 skills from the same character. So you need only one Corrin

azura, hector AND ryoma? Jesus christ.

Anyways, take Sing off of Azura and bring a different dancer to give her two turns. Try to only send her against red units and she'll be easy to level.

Don't promote anything with bad IVs. Considering your insane roster there's no rush.

Anyways, take a look at that Effie and Abel, if he's -atk or something it might be good to feed her his brave lance.

edit: and yeah, you can take 3 skills per inherit. So all 3 levels of hone atk per 4* Corrin.

I wonder if you could make an Effie/Hector/Olivia/Kagero team work.

With odds like those it's like you have to keep pulling. In the same boat, percentage wise.

This banner has been a disaster
Haha, tell me about it. This banner got me shit after shit. I thought I wasn't lucky with blazing shadow banner. Maybe, this is the reason why giving out many orbs recently, only to troll me.

Oh wow...thanks i didnt know that. Just went into the Inheritance screen and i could only chose one skill...but i probably should have just continued. Will check that out later.

Yeah you are right i should bring Olivia to level her up a bit easier, so that she doesnt end up only as support. Still will take more time than leveling Ryoma and co. - but she is the only unit i need to level before the 1.5 exp is over.

Thats my Abel


But he is max leveled so i dont think i would sacrifice him unless its a big upgrade for Effie.

Well i plan on evolving Kagero to 5* - but i dont know when i will be able to level Olivia...

Edit: I have 4 F.Corrin...i wonder if i should just teach every main unit Hone ATK3.

he's -atk +res, bad news for a brave weapon user. But he's still good to have around as an anti-sword specialist if you don't want to give him up.

Hone Atk doesn't stack with itself or Rally Atk. Doesn't make much sense to have it on multiple units.

Effie, no contest. You need a blue and +HP -spd is excellent due to Wary Fighter.

i still have Abel 4* so maybe down the line i can sacrifice him and level up the other version.

Hone Atk doesnt stack ? Oops...guess that i have to look into other skills. Which of the atk boosting skills stack ? Guessing its the same for Fury.

Fury is just straight stats, so it works with everything. Darting Blow and Death Blow also work with everything.

Rally and Hone/Fortify abilities apply a buff that you can see on your character in battle as a vertical arrow, and the stat turns blue. 'Defiant' abilities (+stat under X HP) do the same. You can't stack these with each other, the strongest one takes precedence. You can try it for yourself, have a character get buffed by Hone Atk and try to use Rally Atk on them, it won't let you. Also note, that when the game refers to 'bonuses on unit' like Nino's tome, it's referring to these only.

Spur, Goad (atk/spd) or Ward (def/res) abilities apply to nearby units in combat and do stack with other buffs (and each other). But Goad/Ward are restricted to movement type, i.e. Eliwood's Ward Cavalry only works on horses obviously. Spur buffs are shorter range and work on anyone.
 
Managed to break 4k for the first time. Arena is really rough for me due to a lack of any S+ units and bad ivs, but a little luck in match ups helped this time. Hopefully I can I build on it next week.
 
Finally got 265 on Defense after not getting any for a few seasons. Haven't been on GAF or playing games in general much in recent days, but I still dabble in this and Pokemon GO.

I'm also still really competitive in Arena (currently ranked 3559). Will be a great week. I'm up to 86 Orbs, so I'll have a lot for the next batch of units. I don't think I can do the 10th Stratum Quests for Armors, Cavalry, and Fliers, so those Orbs may not actually be claimed.
