I'm planning ahead. Is Caeda any good for Flier Emblem?
I'm probably looking at a team of Cherche/Cordelia/Red Flier and I'm not sure if the latter should be Caeda or Palla. Haven't investigated their stats at all.
edit: Hmmmm nah Palla seems better at a glance. Phew. Don't have to worry about that banner.

That's what I should have done.
If my Bunny Lucina had anything that wasn't -SPD or -ATK, then the 100 Orbs would have been worth it for her alone. I'll probably use her if she'll be featured, but I don't want to keep this crap around.
I still have good old Linde, but today's results are just deflating. This makes me appreciate all my other 5* Heroes, including Jakob who I benched several seasons ago. Axe Camilla is at least useful for all content outside of Arena.
EDIT: Nah, I'll just use 4* Michalis for Arena. Don't want to waste time grinding a failed unit.
Palla has the better skills if you're not inheriting.
I do plan to inherit, but 25 base attack for Caeda is just too damn low.
Alright gonna patiently restock orbs and then pull more blues eventually chasing Lucina.
Caeda has Fority Flier at 4 star if you care, otherwise she has really poor attack and defense stat from what I notice from my 5 star that I pulled a while ago.
We need a Wing Spear Caeda.

Literally every time there's only 1 blue or green orb to choose...
I also pulled a bunch of good skill fodder tonight.
Already fed a Frederick to my Ninian. Power leveled him all the way to 33 to get the SP I needed. Really scratches that itch, being stuck at Fortify Def 2 was killing me. At last, Nino can be maximized. 18 bonus damage from buffs.
Theoretically it should be possible to hit 20 but that would defeat the purpose of having Eirika.

What you want probably depends on if you're gonna focus on having a super buffed Spring Camilla or if you're gonna stick with a melee flier squad. Caeda comes with Fortify Fliers, but is honestly pretty weak due to her poor attack stat. Her entire skillset isn't really that good either, so you'll have to invest a lot of skills and SP to make her work. Palla is stronger but slower, and she has a great set of skills from the start.
My Flier Emblem team is almost done, maybe I'll share what I've got later on.
Caeda's ATK is really low; Palla isn't fantastic either but she gets the job done a bit better than Caeda. Let's face it. Offensively, there are a lot more capable blue and green fliers than red so your reds' job beside buffs is pretty much kill Hector/Nino/Julia fast. Palla's spd is not great for a pegasus but she should still double Hector in most cases and with Ruby Sword+ she should handle Hector without problem. She gets doubled by Nino in most cases but with her semi-decent Res (although below pegasus standard again) and WTA she should survive. Again with Ruby Sword+ she should OHKO the squishy Nino.
All in all, Palla is the more hassle free choice with less work required.

When you go through 40 orbs and your best is a 4* shanna...
Well at least she got me a desperation to throw on my robin

Desperation is meant for fast characters and Robin clearly isn't one of them by any mean.
By the way Swift Sparrow 1 seems to have Darting Blow/Death Blow as a prereq, so it's actually the second level of a skill and Swift Sparrow 2 is the third.
There is no Swift Sparrow 3. At least not until they introduce fourth level skills.
It's still fucking ridiculous and I need it.

So in one of the few blue orbs I got I pulled a 4* effie with - hp +res. Contemplating if it's worth the feathers to promote her and use her over my 5* Effie with + speed - defense. I wouldn't be doing it right away but at some point in the distant future.
Also need help knowing which spring Camilla to raise.
1, - hp + speed
2. - res, + atk
3. - hp + atk

Probably - res, + atk. Her speed is on the lower end so +SPD isn't going to be too useful. She should aim for one-shotting things so +ATK is good. Her res is so terrible that you will be avoiding mages like the plague anyway so -RES isn't much lost.
I spent 100 orbs. I summoned all 5 heroes every time, mainly because I already got so many blue and green heroes when I tried to summon Ninian, so a few more reds are welcome. The first 2 pulls weren't that great, I did get 4* Tharja and 3* Eliwood though. The other 3 though...
Henry and Niles should also be quite useful.

Hmm My Xander is +ATK but -DEF but his 5* weapon heals him for 4 after every battle he starts. Damn.
Sounds good, I'll try and make sure she gets hone atk buffs from fem Corrin or Olivia so she can do even more damage. I imagine it'll only take a few days for people to figure out the optimal inheritance set for her.
Just realized something potentially hilarious. Caeda is in the "Battling Navarre" banner but I can't think of a reason how she could be good in dealing with Navarre. Maybe she can straight up run into his face and recruit him just like in the actual games. lol
Nah, it's probably for Rally Speed to avoid getting someone doubled by Navarre or there's a axe knight or something.
She's coming up as the only blue unit on the Battling Navarre banner so you might want to wait for that.
Same here. Was hoping more for Nowi, even at 4*, but I'll take it.
I fed Caeda to one of my other fliers (Cordelia, I think) who had the relevant slot spare, just to carry forward the Fortify Fliers skill. Other than that I've found Caeda's woeful attack stat makes her a bit useless- she's got an armourslayer but not the strength to make it useful, and not the defence to survive a second round. Even armour units beat her in combat. Just a really poorly synergised unit, shame as I like the character.
Nice, Effie banner coming up. Looking forward to that.
So theoretically, imagine Spring Camilla with
Gronnblade+
Whatever Assist
Moonbow
Iote's Shield
Swordbreaker
Ward Fliers
Then surround her with Goad Fliers and Rally Defense / Resistance.
16 attack from the stacking Goad Fliers alone, plus 8 from the rallies, for a 24 point attack boost.
Pretty much everything is dying in one hit, and Swordbreaker ensures that includes reds.
It might not be worth building this when you can make Super Cherche without sacrificing a 5* Nino but still fun to theorycraft.

Yo you can't put swordbreaker on Greens if not we'd have put it everywhere.

Yep and they're ALWAYS shanna or donnel for me -_-
I did not know that.
Are you leveling up your skill fodders? cause you don't have to do that...
Nobody is perfect brah. We learn from our mistakes.
Speaking of Flier Emblem, for those of you building it, when you're done please do post diaries. It's going to be a while before I can assemble the full team, but Cherche is going to be very possible soon and I'm really interested to see what kind of numbers you're getting from her in real world applications.
Ah. That's what I get for skimming the Skill Inheritance rules. I just assumed they'd try to stick a grind in there.
Just FYI you can't put breakers on colors that are weak to it.
Yes thank you I inferred that.

Cerium's having a right proper mare today, guys.
I'll have you know I am high as fuck at this very moment and still haven't lost a unit in Arena all season.
Before you mention bow breaker, flying units can't use bow breaker.
