Nah I just can't reroll now, I'd miss my 10k feathers and all those sucky 2*'s I upgraded to sucky 4*'s. I think I'm just a masochist.

Hey any advice on which heroes I should focus on leveling up?
Everything is 4 stars except the story characters and Tiki and Blue-haired girl next to her is 5 stars.
Which 4 star should I make into a 5 star when the time comes?
Thanks.

Upgrade Kagero to 5* she is by far the best of your 4*.Hey any advice on which heroes I should focus on leveling up?

Then work on getting Anna to 5* and you'll have a very solid and well balanced team.
Tier 3 is above Tier 2.
Is that how it works? Learn something new everyday.
Save your feathers.
I'm 7-8 points higher than you, so about the same rank. My offense score keeps going up each week and my ranking keeps going down
that first week, I made the top 10k with less than 3700.I think my highest defense is 270. When you have a max level def team, all of the defense scores seem to be over 250. I guess getting a free 500 feathers is nice.
I had a feeling you'd say that.
Drag Back can be useful but he really does not have much going for him. There are so many better spear users available. I think Brave Lance is absolutely terrible on standard infantry units. Calvary can use terrain or move in easily to get the first blow, but Donnel is going to just get two hit all the time.

Kagero is really good, but since her stats are so low you'll suffer with her if you are trying to get ranked high in Arena. If Arena doesn't interest you, I'd go with her.
Catria and Tiki are both excellent. Shareena is good too, but the question is whether you want to run her over Catria. She makes a good replacement though.

I've been trying to upgrade everyone so if the battle calls for it I can use multiples if the same type of unit.
I assume you mean the 5 stars would be the rest of the team. Are the two I have pretty good?
What's Kagero's benefit exactly? She also seems to die the fastest and have the weakest attacks of my 4 highest leveled characters. She's really quite a bit above the other 4 stars?
Is Anna actually good for a story character given to you automatically at the beginning? Enough to go the trouble of going from 2 stars to 5 stars? I would think I would be able to (and have already) pulled an axe unit better than her?

Kagero is broken, her dagger is effective against infantry and will OHKO them frequently

Did you upgrade Sharena & Anna? They're supposed to be really good at 5* and I find them good at 4* as well.
I thought you still get the 10k feathers?

Even bad 5* has advantage over good 4* especially in offense stats.

Wow... I'm starting to get slaughtered in the later Lunatic missions (8-5 and 9-2 thus far). Everything's defense is so high (over 40+?) I barely do any dmg even with a 53 (boosted) attack Takumi or when I have type advantages like with Abel against Zephiel... I guess I need a mage or something? Their resistance seems more reasonable.
I have a 4* Cecilia at level 31 with attack 34. Other than that all I have is a 2* Sophia and 2* Raigh at lvl 1 and 2...

I was rerolling all day and I can confirm you get all the starting bonuses including the 10 crests a bunch of stamina refills and, of course, 10k feathers.
Yeah my main team of 4* superstars: Sharena, Beruka, Nowi and Olivia.
Nowi, Olivia and Sharena are also great for training up the newbies in the tower.

Can't wait to get Shareena at 5*

Need some help figuring out which units to level up and promote. This is what I have so far.
None of your 4* are super exciting so I would upgade Sharena that is the better starter, or Anna if you want a green, Narcian is also decent.
Why do you have so many duplicates? You should merge them or release them for feathers.
I advise you upgrade Olivia to 3*, allowing her to learn Dance. There's only two dancers in the game so far, and it allows for very unique tactics on maps. Could be useful to have for special maps and new paralogues going forward.
Otherwise of course your 5* should be your focus, Male Robin is great.
If they are heavy armour, magic is one option. Do you have any units with armourslayer weapons or hammers?
I'd put together a reserve team of Anna, Sharena, Olivia and one of the mages- they are mostly 3* but they are solid picks.

I have a lvl 30 4* Florina with a heavy spear that's good against armor. Hm.
Tiki and Catria are both good, especially Tiki, so you're set there. That covers your blue and your red. Kagero has Poison Dagger which absolutely rekts infantry from range, and the vast majority of units in the meta right now are infantry. Takumi? Dead. Robin? Dead. Lucina? Dead. On offense in Arena, Kagero will rack up win streaks like crazy. She's one of the most useful gray units in the game right now.
Anna and Sharena are starter characters but if you put the work into getting them to 5* they're both very good and very competitive. In Anna's case she has Vantage, which the AI will suicide into frequently, and her Nóatún uniquely allows her to teleport to your injured units anywhere on the map. Some (wrong) people prefer Camilla, but I would rank Anna second among axe users behind Hector.
A team of Tiki, Catria, Anna, and Kagero is very very formidable.
You could also try units that inflict set damage regardless, like Saizo's poison strike or Azama's 'pain' ability, they inflict 10hp damage after combat. It's a good way of chipping away at units that are frustrating your big hitters.
Magic is the traditional way to zap armour though
Hmmm okay this one is a little trickier.
First of all you should be running Robin and Eirika as the base of your team; not only are they 5* but they're also very good, a solid core to build around.
Your 4* are not good.
If we dig deeper, your most promising remaining characters are probably Anna and Olivia. Get Olivia her dance ASAP, then upgrade Anna to 5*.
A team of Robin, Eirika, Anna, and Olivia is pretty solid and should have an answer for most (but not all) teams.
I think Olivia is well regarded all the way up. Her usefulness scales with how powerful your other units are, and provides buffs for them as well. She's annoying to level because Dance doesn't give exp, but she's a super strong unit to have. I've progressed my "free" one from 2* to 4* already and I'll probably be working her into my top team once she is high enough level.

Any suggestions for a team comp?
Definitely try to finish all the quests by the end of the month, when they'll likely reset. Dueling crests seem to get handed out a lot, so you might as well use as many as needed to get the feathers. Still have another 8 days left though, so another 24 natural fights.
4,496 arena score is only rank 4,578? Jeeze. Poor Catria and Julia are going to need to be replaced eventually. I don't have Effie or Hector though...
At least the top 500ish ranked players will be funding a lion's share of the game with the thousands of dollars they need to spend to get +10s though.

Well this is super embarrassing, I've only just realised you have to press the quests to actually get the reward after completion. I always thought they were added to my inventory automatically.
Sucks because now I have to complete story on hard again to complete those quests now, my own fault for not clocking the rewards weren't being added.

I love a good challenge. This is a tough one because there are a few directions you can take.
Roy and Effie should be the core. Marth at 5* is better than Roy but Roy is serviceable and you'll need the feathers to shore up the rest of your lineup. Effie is very solid at 5* because of the lack of strong greens that can handle her.
From there, you have a bunch of 4* that are full of potential:
Robin
Sharena
Anna
FemCorrin
Nowi
and also 3* Olivia
You could theoretically run a heavy blue lineup. There isn't a lot of good green out there, and Roy will absolutely delete green units of any kind, so something like Roy, Effie, Robin, and Nowi could actually be viable and will make red heavy teams (which there are a lot of) absolutely cry.
If you want something more balanced then you can go for something like Roy, Effie, Anna, and Olivia.
Or meet somewhere halfway and go with Roy, Effie, Nowi, Anna.
You have options but you'll need feathers. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of the heavy blue lineup; Robin has colorless advantage too so that gives you an answer for Takumi and Kagero. And if a team with 2 or more red runs into you, they might as well quit. Roy covers your weakness to green. It's unconventional but could be really strong.
They need to increase the friends list limit. I'm just adding random people and I already run into the limit multiple times this week.

What I'm wondering is if they will increase the number of characters we can use? Cause teams are already super limited. Maybe the even will be building a team entirely from your friends list or something.

Thanks for the suggestions
Got 4438pts in Arena, I guess that's the maximum I can get with my current roster. I used:
5* Marth (+Atk -Speed)
5* Tharja (+Speed -Def)
4* Sharena (Neutral)
4* FCorrin (Neutral)
Well technically I could have replaced FCorrin with my Eirika to win a little more points since she did basically nothing.
I'm currently ranking 8724, I don't think I will hold in the top 10k.
I hope they add new contents soon because I only have the last map of Lunatic (doesn't have anyone to take care of Xanders) left. I'm also levelling my Eliwood for the kill 15 with cavalry quest.
