Look at the level of the enemies and the force composition beneath the stratum number, also the colour of the star suggests how elite they are (just like your units silver ones are stronger than bronze at the same level). It can change, just because your level 21 force can take the fifth stratum when it's full of level 23 melee infantry doesn't mean it can take the fifth stratum if it's full of level 25 troops of colours and classes and spells designed to take your team apart!
Beruka is a very specialised unit, but good at what she does- she's a highly manouverable bit of heavy armour that's vulnerable to magic and archers but can stand in for a heavy when you need it. Good skills too, quite tough as long as you are aware of her weaknesses.

Is there a possibility they add new abilities to existing characters in future updates?
How do you tell from the icons which type of units it is? I can tell the difference between mages, healers and arrow/shuriken people but what about the others?
Unlikely. They'll just add new characters with new abilities.
I have to say, a level 33 Azama makes a great Shepard for lower level units. His defence is good enough that low level things can't touch him, he can heal, and his attack leaves enemies at 1 hp if the initial zap doesn't kill them which sets up a unit who need the xp perfectly. Plus, he still gets a bit of xp himself for healing despite being overleveled for for the maps. And on the off chance a knight screws over the recruits, he can whittle it down alone. This man does it all, and does it for the team!
That's about all you can tell, but colours are important too
I'd say that's pretty likely considering they bothered to implement a skill list filter.
Yes you don't keep your exp if your units die in battle. Also you can keep healing the same character for exp but there's a cap per map.

Guessing a year from now, due to power creeping, maybe some can be evolved to 6*, which will unlock new skills.
Promote Sharena. She's really good.
Come to the dark side. We have a merry band of Ests.
I'm seriously considering not upgrading my Marth to 5* and just hoping I pull a better red unit at some point. He's not bad, hell pivot plus escape route has made for some hilarious moments and he's the best red I've got but I dunno that I can justify 20k feathers just for the Falchion and a slightly better escape route. On the other hand my 4* fem Corrin is going 5 star because upgrading her improves not just her but the whole teams performance. As it is Corrin into Merric = dead anything. Olivia is doing Olivia things, sometimes she kills a dude and is up to level 31 or 32 but she's no frontliner naturally.
Would a fem corrin plus young tiki ( if I can ever pull one) Olivia and Merric team be viable? I'd go Corrin and Tiki and Fae ( also don;t currently have) plus Merric but I love Olivia too much.

Use those feathers to promote Sharena and Anna to 4 stars. They're lacking skills at 2*/3*. You are teaching them skills right?
Or just replace them with your other 4* units.
I'm running a similar team (Corrin, Tiki, Olivia and Kagero). I think with your set up, you run the risk of being weak to Falchion lords, since even though Corrin has a surprisingly good matchup against them, she loses a ton of HP taking down (if she can even manage it). Meanwhile if Corrin goes down, pretty much nobody on your team will be able to take them down.
If you can get a strong neutral unit like Kagero or Takumi or someone like Robin to replace Merric, your team could work.
I want to promote Shareena but you can only get the right sort of badges on specific days. And today is not the day for blue badges.
And yes I have been teaching them skills, both Shareena and Anna have the max skills they can learn and also a shitload of spare SP which I can't spend because there's nothing else to spend it on.
She picks up Hone Attack 3 (+4 attack) at 4★ , which is a must have ability. Going further than that is pointless.
I'm guessing they'll hand out an item that grants a single unit Iote's Shield as an ability. Could be a gamechanger for some units.
My 4* Nowi, fCorrin and Selena are already level 36 but that's clearly not enough for them to support my A team on Lunatic 9-2. Man, what a chore leveling up your characters is, I've spent like 3 days doing this. Don't want to think how it will be when the training tower stamina costs double X_X
At 4* she gains Hone Attack 3.
Wow. She is serious waifu material, haha.
Thanks. I guess I'll promote her then.
My current team is Lucina + Camilla + Nowi + Olivia which feels pretty cookie cutter, but it seems to work well. Lucina and Nowi work well off of each other, and Olivia acts like a catapult so that Camilla can dive deep and take out key targets.

I'll probably drop the game when training tower stamina doubles. The game generates stamina way too slowly to allow much play, unless they start getting way more generous with stamina pots.

Yea. Was mainly wondering because Roy not having a special attack is bizarre. Especially since he has so much left over SP.
This is the biggest sin of all.
Roy not having a flaming sword as one of his attack animations.

I can see situations where you literally can't lose because the last remaining defender can't kill your units, but I don't actually remember if that's the situation the OP was in. If it's just about sword usage, I'd probably agree with "suck it up, buttercup." I also kind of forgot that you could just lose the match and snap the streak.
Other than what was already said, and keep in mind Silver Sword+ is all she gets at 5*. That's pretty good that she can get her Hone Atk level 3 at 4*.
Her stats aren't bad either, I wouldn't mind promoting her to 5* if she became one of my main units because, she has almost 150 rating on her 4* version at level 37+1. 5* version could push it to 170, she won't have 50 attack but it looks like her speed could reach close to 40.
I think they'll eventually do this too- maybe with elite classes like with FE Radiant Dawn.
At the very least I wouldn't be surprised to see characters like Alfonse, Sharenna, Eireka and Ephraim end with with 'great lord' variants or promotions where they gain cavalry mounts. Or perhaps the cavalier units gain paladin variants, that kind of thing.
Usually I bait Falchion users so they hit Corrin first and take retaliation dmg plus seal res. Then she either finishes them off the next turn or Merric comes in and murders them. I can def see how a team with multiple Falchion users would be a problem though since Corrin can only bait once safely and adding other dragons who can't bait at all would be frustrating. For now Merric and Marth will stay until suitable replacements are found. I have 105 orbs saved for the new banners tomorrow maybe I'll get what I need then. Oh god maybe Myrrh will be available as a red dragon. Pls IS please.

I didn't think I would ever get a 5* Robin having already rolled dozens of 3 and 4 ones. XD
Lucina was just the icing on the cake. ^__^

Robin is such a beast. Bout crapped my pants when I saw two Takumi and a Lucina on the other team, especially since I entered with Camilla. I was able to get Olivia to do a little tango with Robin and made it without losing anyone.
Can't wait to promote him to 5 stars.

Lol nice. You're running two 5* set similar to mine. Abel and Lyn cover each other's weaknesses, but the most difficult thing is trying to actually use Galeforce in battle. It's a good ability, but hard to execute :X.
Does anyone know what happens if I open up a summoning table by spending 5 orbs, but close the app without choosing a summon? Do I lose the 5 orbs?
I'm trying to summon a green unit, but no joke, I'm on my eigth table without a single green orb appearing, and I'm obligated to spend 5 orbs to even see the table...

It'll probably boot up to the summon screen again, until you choose one.
Of course the second you choose to spend 5 orbs, you're locked in, or else people would just keep backing out until they get all the colors they wanted.
You cant beat a 5* Camilla

Well, that'd be a shame =(
If I ever get a table with a green orb, I'll probably still get a 3*... I'm on ch9 on Hard (1 and 2 done on Lunatic), and it's getting hard to get new orbs and I still don't have any useful green units.

Hooooly
This would be like my dream board to roll.
Hands off I called her! Seriously one of my favorite character arts.

I can't wait to get mine built up and ready to go too. XD
I've been trying to get 5* Robin for awhile now, so it was a pleasant surprise for sure.
Wasn't expecting Lucina though.
If only Marth was also 5* from that board. :*(
Self control is overrated. ;D
Robin remains one of my only two 5*s, and my MVP by far. All those extra orbs haven't yielded much. Still don't have a good red (4* Laslow and Henry are my best).
Sheena, for one, already has the ability (as Svalinn Shield). It's what makes her a viable party member (as a tank).

I don't think so, the fact that you need stamina to reassign abilities even though most of the time you don't need it clearly means something

Another thing I noticed today, I expected all buffs from standing near teammates to trigger at the start of a turn, but it seems marth's speed+ works mid turn, as in I was able to drag a player to attack from two different angles but the one next to marth was gettign double hits from the speed boost and I could tell from looking at the info before dropping my unit down on the field again.
I'm interested in knowing if other skills do the same.

Also I haven't seen a single char who has an A, B, and C skill which makes having three categories kind of weird (even if such chars exist, they're apparently pretty rare)
