I'm having a hard time hitting seven. (Robin, Marth, Camilla and Catria.)

If I had Julia, I doubt I'd face any issues either, her heals are good. I've played several games today in arena where having an extra 1 or 2 hp would have kept some of my units alive.
My team is almost the same except Kagero instead of Takumi and got a better score than last season
Switched Ephraim in place of FCorrin and he's really good, it helps that he's SPD+/HP- but he can take hits, retaliate and still have enough HP.

Here's my score after first 7 in a row. Honestly, I don't see how this team can be stopped, other than by a massive whale team or a map that starts off enclosing one of my characters with an opponent they are weak against. I have too much kiting and a counter to everything. Takumi and Hector are jokes.

Out of 80 Orbs, 2 full sets of 3* and 2 sets with only one 4*, both repeats. Most of the 3* are shit tiers. I just want to quit. I know gachas are gachas but that was one of the dumbest moment of pulls in my gacha career.

Seliph is so sad compared to other reds - he can't even kill most greens in single turn.

Too bad there's no PVP other than arena. I would like to see who would survive if our teams faced off as both Hector/Takumi are jokes to my team as well haha.

It just refreshed and my Arena rank is 8,489. I'm sure if I sit on the that score, by the end of the season it will be around 80,000. 
Definitely. Part of what makes it so easy is the AI is really exploitable. Catria and Cecilia are perfect for luring them to their certain doom.

I like your team. This is mine from last season, haven't played more than the 3 daily swords yet in tier 4:
Cecilia is really good, especially when she one-shots every Takumi or Robin. Only units that give me trouble are.... Tharja and if I run into a team with multiple archers, because you'll most likely take some damage, hard to avoid both.

My time with it will have to massively slow down pretty soon. I spent the weekend promoting a 2* Hana to 4*, but my next aspiration is to promote my Tharja to 5*, and the feather accumulation rate just won't easily accommodate that. I can grind some other characters in the meantime, but the stamina cost for each round will severely throttle that, too. I'm not keen on spending money on the game, either.
Honestly, I love being able to get these small, contained Fire Emblem experiences, during a time in my life when game time is pretty limited. But for the past couple weeks I've had this nagging feeling that I'd have more fun with Awakening or Fates (neither of which I have played yet).

The worst is the gacha psychology is getting to me and I can see it from a mile away. Now I want to spend 35$ for 2 more sets of 5 pulls.
Why? Because after such disastrous pulls, just looking at the game icon on my phone brings a bad feeling. This game was a good feeling for me recently, some relax time in a pretty hectic month. With 2 more sets of pull I could either get semi-lucky and get something decent, like characters I feel like leveling. On the other hand, I could get utter shit again, which would convince me to just delete the game more easily. Like a one time payment to be really convinced that I just don't want to bother with it anymore.
I want to wave away the shit feeling but come the fuck on... I got a 5* Maria when I first started the game. How unlikely is that? Pretty unlikely. Now I spend 80 orbs and out of the 3 4* I get, 2 of them are 4* Maria and the other one is a dupe too. Throw me a fucking Kagero in there or something... Not 17 3* and 3 4* dupes.

Nice team and nice ranking. I have a 5* young Tiki too, but every time I put her in the line up, I have issues with the dragon killers. Judging from your success, it looks like Takumi really helps keep Chrom, Lucina, etc off Tiki.

I already beat my highest score from last season. I'm at 4,390 Offense points now, and all I need is a good defense score.
The only thing I can really do is collect the daily orbs, and wait for events. This isn't meant to be played in long sessions at all.

Who else do you have in your lineup? My 5* Robin and Lyn/Abel help to erase any dragon killers from going after my Tiki.
it got way easier for me once I had a single strong 40 to keep things under control. Robin destroyed everything in his path and I got him there in no time. Also Olivia is great for leveling other people. Although getting Olivia herself to 40 is...not.
my horrible luck with 5* pulls is only a downer because of how important stat totals are for getting extra feathers from the arena. I have no trouble getting 7 streaks and I've cleared Lunatic. Kinda unfair that you get more rewards just for having better characters, I basically have to work harder for less.

I have 5* Julia and Leo (not 40 yet). And various 4*: Nino, Tharja, Nowi, Robin, Jeorge. Oh, and a 5* Lyn as well!
Red_taiyaki

I've been there as well; 100+ orbs with nothing to show for it except for a 3* Robin which I've now 5*d. However, that being said....I managed to pull 3x 5*s after I used up my next batch of 30 so I honestly would like to believe that the game has a way of averaging itself out.
Edit:
Hmmmm....my setup of 5* Julia, Robin and Lyn seems to keep most Falchion users off of my Chiki. With them as my base it seems like I have enough type-coverage to keep most hard hitters off of her. Now granted, my team is literally built around her so I'm not sure how well she works if you try adding her in a support-type role or anything.

Yea luck usually comes back around. It's just so frustrating on the moment... I would have taken one decent 4* for 80 Orbs but I couldn't even get that.

At this rate it will take me over a month to promote someone else to 5*. Hopefully the march quests had some much needed help in that area.

Not against other mages she isn't
Mine can tank an equal level tharja (despite being double hit) and kill her. Poor Robin doesn't even scratch her.
She's terrifying as long as the opponent can't hit her with physical attacks
Not gonna lie, I'm kind of surprised how ridiculous Julia is on my team. While f.Corrin will always be the star due to -5 on the entire opposing team's atk and speed, I've not found many units Julia won't one-shot (and literally none she can't two-shot so far), even if they're the opposite colour (not sure how much f.Corrin's +4 attack buff is helping on this admittedly, plus she often ends up next to jorge who gives her a +3 speed during combat)
She's actually kind of getting out of control and outlevelling the rest of the team
I guess it helps that she's my only 5 star admittedly and the others are mere 4 star peons :3
Why would they be dead? This isn't an Ubisoft game.
Marth's parents are dead.
Celica's father was murdered.
Seliph's dad got barbequed.
Eliwood and Hector both died, along with their ambiguous wives.
King Fado also dies.
Ike's father killed his mother and later was murdered himself.
None of Corrin's biological and adoptive parents survive.
Ya but they happen through the games, not necessarily at the start or before the games (the Ubisoft style where parents are already dead often used as either cheap tension or cheap plot progression at the start).
For instance: Hector and Eliwood are major contributors to plot and story movement in Binding Blade, Eliwood is there through almost the entirety of the game and Hector doesn't die right off the bat. Corrin's mom is at the very least alive early on, Anankos is alive till the very end.
I don't actually recall what happened to Roy's mom in Binding Blade, was she dead before his birth? (Rather sad if you went with Lyn for that, oy.)

Quarter. Ninian is half-dragon to begin with
Quarter. Ninian is half-dragon to begin with
I thought you could do either or, but Ninian was generally the more logical one given the latter plot developments.
Also, if he's part dragon, how does Roy use a sword made to seal/destroy dragons?!
How many main story chapters have you cleared?
As long as he's not using it on himself, I guess. Corrin, Kana and Tiki!Morgan can use Wyrmslayers just fine.
I thought they'd speed things up due to the general sparsity of the story - seeing as they don't seem to be including them as central characters, I'm not sure if there's room to give them meaningful deaths in the context of the current story.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm using a level 1 3* Odin, and it's actually not too bad. I think I can still fairly easily get above 4000. I'm not expecting to rank high, but I can at least get the feathers for score.

Holy shit just spent 50 orbs and no 5*. NOOOOOOO.
And now I have 5 3* Frederick LOL.
EDIT: Okay, now I'm done with my free orbs including the quests ones. I can only rely on events, dialy bonus and new quests so I need to do my perma team. Can someone help me?
5* units: Takumi, Lyn, Marth, Y.Tiki, Cain.
Notable 4* units: M.Robin, Roy, Catria, Nowi, Cecilia, Clarine, Frederick.
Notable 3* units: Olivia, Nino, Lissa, Serra.
I have 19k feathers so soon I'll be able to upgrade a unit to 5*. Any suggestion from my current roster?

I figured the wyrmslayers were just a type of blade. Sword of Seals is literally magic and on fire.
Yeah, Julia slaughtering Nowi will never not be funny.

If it's for arena your Catria is basically mandatory this week. Her, Takumi, Young Tiki and Olivia or Robin would make a very solid team, but your offense score would be low due to the total stats of your units.
For the long term you should consider promoting either Robin depending on his nature, Olivia (to be dragged down less by her in terms of score), or Nowi (provides bulk and stats).
Good call, did a quick power level to level 25 then banged out a intermediate run for a quick 3200 points. Probably won't go for more, Odin is kinda shitty.

Magic swords...how do they work...
Let's just assume the blade doesn't affect it's wielder regardless of bloodline
