Yolo pulled tonight searching for Nowi on my last 20 orbs. Got a bunch of nothing, except I did get a +Atk/-res Klein at 4* on a pull of 4 reds and one colorless. I always like archers so I am excited to try him out at least.

Any good inheritance tips for him?

Sacrifice him to give Death Blow to someone else. :p

I don't have him. but I would give him one of the breaker skills, probably Swordbreaker. and maybe replace Glacies with Luna. His kit seems pretty good even without modifications.

Luna was something I was thinking about. Breaker skill is another good idea. I'm glad I pulled him. I was really considering going down the Nino Eirika road, but I am already doing that on my other account. I want the two accounts to be different, and this could be what I was looking for. +Atk, with an Atk buff, and +6 Atk from deathblow seems like it would be real good. Especially with a dancer behind him.

I need some advice on a Flier Emblem team. Despite sniping a bunch of greens I haven't been able to pull a Minerva of any kind. Fortunately I managed to beat Lunatic Michalis as time was running out, so I have two of him. I also have a 5* and a 4* Sheena, so I could sacrifice them to neutralize "effective against" bonuses as well. I could potentially have an all-flier team that aren't vulnerable to archers or color disadvantages.

However, I don't have much in the way of Hone Fliers or some of the mainstay flying units. Right now I'm working with:

5* Camilla, +atk -def
4* Camilla +res -hp
4* Caeda +spd -res
4* Catria +spd -res
4* Est
4* Subaki
4* Florina
3* Palla
3* Narcian
3* Cherche one is +spd -def, another +atk -hp

I'm thinking of something like Camilla, Caeda, Catria, Cherche (which one?), but I have no experience with Flier Emblem. Do I have enough of the good fliers to make it work? Is it worth it to equip them with Michalis or Sheena's shields, or is it better to just promote Michalis?

Thanks

To think of all the cool fusion fodder i could've gotten but instead I sniped blues for over 100 orbs and still no Ninian.

From now on I'll only snipe if a banner has two or more focus units of the same colour.

Damn that's just crushing luck man. And I was disappointed at having to spend 60 to pull her...

I don't think sniping colors work any more. At least that's the conclusion I got after 100 wasted attempts at getting a good green this banner. Not gonna spend money either as it doesn't seem to help unless I drop a lot.

+atk Cherche is the best Cherche. If you go with her, you won't need Iote's Shield since she one shot any archer with Brave Axe+. besides Sheena's Shield can only be transfered to armored units. Subaki is a good unit to run with Cherche, as he can swap her out after she takes out someone and may otherwise be threatened by an enemy red unit.

Those are just my thoughts though, I've not tried Flier Emblem myself yet.

Decided to give the gacha one try and it spit in my face. 4* Abel +Spd/-Res, 4* Cherche +Spd/-Res, 3* Subaki -- and of course I already had a 3* Cherche and both the free Subakis. So there's 13 orbs thrown away.

And here I am, desperate to pull a Cherche for my Flier Emblem build :(

Had a ton of fun doing a last minute Michalis rescue for my friend for the Lunatic mode. Took us an hour and creative use (like giving Martha +3 Def so that he could tank the spear knight) of his units but we did it!

He did it with Minerva, Liliana, Marth, and Freddie.

Such a downer just having the single banner up. It'd have been nice to give us a filler banner to tempt us before the new content, even if it is just random mediocre units that are already in game.

*Edit*

Easter units?

What's the based of these variations though? Looks like Lucina and Marth to me.

Edit: Checked in game and it actually looks like it is Chrom.

Anyway, alt costume's not my thing; I hope they still have actual new heroes introduction on Thursday as per usual.

Ah yes, introduction of Casino, Bingo, and Poker and bunny girl and bunny boy limited characters.

Also they do say that the hero will be in a special costume, and that it will look cute.

Amazing that our first limited gacha will be casino bunny themed, make people burn money.

Not too interested in Easter, but will still try to pull.

But seriously, the first themed event chars....Summer is going to destroy everyone.

Hi guys would like to hear your suggestions...I'm thinking of chucking 20k feathers to promote one of my units to 5*, but I'm not too sure which one should take priority.

I'm currently debating between Camilia and Nino, but my Nino's supposedly -Att +Res nature so I'm not too sure if she's viable while my Camilia is +HP -Res so she's a bit more neutral

Ouch. I would chafe at spending 20k feathers on that nature, but at the same time I honestly think you'd get less mileage out of Camilla. Maybe consider Anna?

Did my last pull at 4.75% on this god forsaken banner. Not a 5 star focus in sight smh

I did get a Fury 3 though. Hope the next banner isn't too good because I've blown through all my sources of orbs.

First up, the Swordbreaker Diaries.

Lyn is fast. Normally Eirika stands no chance of doubling her. In fact, if this one was +spd, she could've doubled my Eirika.

TFSdoGu.png


Fortunately I didn't even have to check because Swordbreaker turns her into mincemeat.

muNrA4j.png


Lucina ordinarily outclasses Eirika in a straight fight, but with Attack +2 and Hone Attack from Nino, Eirika turns this encounter into a ORKO.

tU4G9Rk.png


It's dangerous to go alone. In this case Fortify Defense from Ninian ensures that when my Eirika ORKOs her evil clone, she takes only paltry damage and is good to go against the Lucina after Ninian dances her (+def Eirika for the win).

And for no reason at all here is Nino with Fury 3 and full buffs one shot overkilling an Effie. Wary Fighter won't save you.

And the last thing I want to highlight was a situation where the current inability to adjust my starting positions put me in a tight spot. Coming out of this one without any losses required all the resources and ingenuity at my disposal. Zero margin of error.

UqLbzuY.png


Tough fucking spot to be in. Everyone was all out of position and I just barely got Eirika in place to tank the oncoming Eldigan. With Rally Attack from Sharena he hit like a fucking truck. My Eirika can't take another hit. My Nino is largely unbuffed and exposed to Marth. Ninian is not an option against Falchion. And Takumi is in the back waiting to fuck my shit up.

The solution?

w0ExLMU.png


Takumi moves onto the bridge and kills the Eldigan, securing the left flank. This frees up space for Eirika to Rally Resistance on Nino. Nino doesn't get the Hone Speed bonus to double Marth, so she can only smack him once.

Now here's a place it's easy to slip up. This Marth is capable of doubling and ORKOing my Takumi. I could have had Ninian dance the Nino to finish off the Marth, but that would leave her exposed to Takumi and she will probably die. So instead I have Ninian dance Nino and send her off to the left. What follows next is a perfect manipulation of the AI.

VDWtENc.png


The enemy Takumi attacks the only target in sight, my Takumi. This results in an exchange of damage knocking me down to 15. Vantage is now active.

Th9renB.png


Marth then does what he's programmed to do, and bashes his face right into my arrows. The damage he took from the buffed Nino ensures that this is a fatal mistake and he never gets off his attack.

0gBieuf.png


In the end, all my guys live and only the Takumi survives. I check his build and realize that he has Vantage 3 just like me, so I simply stay clear and end my turn so that his Takumi can suicide onto mine.

Result: My first run of the season is a perfect run and probably won't be topped.

I don't have any of those characters so I don't know them that well, but I can give you basic guidelines.

The skills you give depends on how you want your team to work together. Takumi, Lyn and Cordelia are all strong offensive characters, but aren't particularly tanky. So your choices are to either help make one or two of those characters more tanky so that you have someone to put out as bait near the start of the fight (and possibly survive long enough for you to heal them), or add something to enhance the existing strengths of your characters.

For example, Vantage may be a good choice on Lyn because she naturally functions very well at lower HP thanks to some buffs kicking in at lower health. Vantage would mean that she has a chance of killing people that attack her when she's at lower health, which would make her harder to kill.

Vantage is also a good choice on Takumi for the same reason, though Takumi is becoming less common these days because people have counters to him.

Desperation is the offensive cousin of Vantage, which lets people attack twice in a row when they're lower HP, which may prevent enemy units from counterattacking and dealing damage to your unit before they die (assuming your unit can kill the target unit in two hits).

Cordelia has a Brave Lance iirc, which makes her strong for attacking but not as good at taking hits herself. I don't know her B skill, but if you are willing to give it up, she might benefit from Drag Back. That lets her move back one square after attacking, which may help take her someplace safer after she attacks.

Fury may be good for any of your three attackers, though keep in mind that it makes units stronger but also more fragile in the long run as they lose health (though you could heal them back with Lachesis).

For your C slot skills, I like using the skills that give adjacent units buffs at the start of a turn. These are easy to use because you can position your units in certain ways to benefit from the buffs. Attack buffs may help characters oneshot their targets. Speed buffs may help them double attack or avoid getting double attacked by others. Defense and res may make them tankier.

I don't have Lachesis and I'm not too familiar with her, so I can't help you there.

Okay thanks for your help! I'll have a more thorough look on reddit for some character specific skills. How comes Takumi is not popular? I thought he was top tier :/
