Level 40+1 Eirika is nice, added +1 to speed, it's now 39 Speed.
I still have a lack of spare Ninos for merging while... I have enough Female Corrins to get a level 40+6 version that would have 182 rating, if I had 120k feathers.
I've been using my 52 Atk Up 4* Effie in the arena to test her out. She's great at taking out red units in one hit, she was just short of 1 Atk to kill a Lucina though. At least that means if I promoted her to 5*, she'd have 58 Atk or 62 Atk when buffed and 68 Atk when buffed and using death blow.
She would easily destroy any Red Lord however, she definitely has difficulty against Ephraim due to his skills.
The other thing is that even though her mobility is bad, smite has helped cover for it when I needed to shove a unit out of the way or towards an enemy by 2 spaces. Although, that is not always helpful with cramped maps.
It really is a big weakness for her, she's really strong but I would have to then use a unit like Selena to try to cover up for that weakness using Reposition or Subaki with Swap.
So, I will probably end up promoting Sharena to 5* because her 177 rating is good enough even though it's lower than Effie.
However, it's becoming hard to ignore Female Corrin. Technically there's only one Sharena while I can get a level 50 female Corrin easily at the rate I've been summoning them.

I'm surprised by the ease of the Robin hard map. I did it with Takumi, Serra, Olivia and Lucina. Serra tanked all the mage aggro whilst Takumi one shot them all down with Lucina finishing off Robin and the blue lancer. Olivia strictly there to dance. Did it on my 3rd attempt. Much easier than Narcian hard imo
Wow thats savage. Thats 60 summons without a 5*. I would ragequit if something like that happens to me.

I still don't have any mage 4 stars and up. 😥
Man. That new banner...
Managed to destroy both versions of F. Robin on the first try. I just moved my 5* Beruka into the choke point where she proceeded to take 4 or 5 attacks before almost dying, taking a couple of mages with her. After that, I just moved her back and had Lucina and Raven mop up while Robin nuked from the other side of the chokepoint wall whenever possible.
Not really enjoying the fact that the games idea of tactical battles so far seems to be 'here's a chokepoint that you can't circumvent where you're going to get ganged up on by all the enemies on the field once you enter. Everyone needs to survive'
Guess there's only so much you can do with this map size, though.
The one upside to the new banner is that I really want to pull a Hinoka and since it doesn't have a blue focus unit, there's no one muddying up my odds if I pull on that one.

You have the exact amount needed...
3* to 4* is 20 green badges and 2000 feathers.
4* to 5* is 20 green great badges and 20000 feathers.
Camilla and +Res Eirika saved the day. Eirika tanked all the makes with ease, though her garbage attack meant she couldn't one round the axe fighter. She pulled back to the choke point where the axe fighter suicided on her while laughing off Robin again. Eirika retreated while Camilla blicked Robin with Olivia's help. Lance Fighter attacked Camilla while Red Mage hit Lucina for some reason (she did nothing else). Thanks to Olivia Camilla cleaned up Lance Fighter and Red Mage. Blue Mage could do nothing as Camilla finished him off next turn.
If you dont own linde he is the next best blue mage, is tanky and counters well takumi if you have problems with him.
Having merged characters reduce the feather requirement by 15 to 20% more compared to the amount of feathers you would ordinarily get by just exiling a character, as well as the previously mentioned idea of reducing promotion costs after level 30; would help a fair bit, as well as provide an incentive to invest more time in individual characters.
Female Robin? It may be too early to say, but nah those abilities ain't lookin' so good.
He is talking about Female Robin.
It's not that great. Merging units reduces feather cost by the same amount as sending a unit home of the same rarity.
The best thing I would have preferred is that it would have reduced the feather cost by half each time. That sounds fair, I am losing a unit by merging that the +1 level up will not transfer over upon promotion.
So I'd rather have the cost reduced by a lot from merging because it's not really worth merging lower rarity units at the moment since I'd rather just save it to make both units 5* to merge at 5* for better stats.
Just dropping this for those who may get the joke.

Just annoying because I wanted a decent arena banner character.
This week I'm forced to use a level 1 4* Odin (or a level 1 2* Narcian) just for the bonus points. Without a bonus character I got shit points.
I mean I could level Odin up I guess, but it just takes so bloody long, and I have better units I want to be levelling. Especially with how the Arena units changes every week anyway...
are you actually at 9% or are you at 4.5+4.5? Just curious if anyone has actually beaten my streak of shit luck (5.5). Because 9 would be insane. I'm at 3.5 on the current banner and will have 9 orbs before it resets...
But yeah I dunno if I'd bother with Odin but leveling Narcian was a breeze with level 40s and Olivia babysitting. I went into advanced arena with him at 3* level 35, and popped out the other end with a 7 streak and him at 38. He's arguably more useful than my 4* Camilla who can't even damage blue units that aren't mages.
Ahh screw it.
I know I said I'm not using Female Corrin in arena currently because there's too many Wyrmslayers however, it's already been stated by others that the red Wyrmslayers aren't that difficult.
Only Julia is a real threat although, she easily gets killed by my Nino due to her low speed.
So it looks like I'll just stick with Female Corrin to upgrade further in level for arena as opposed to getting a 5* Sharena.
I checked the team average ratings and there is only a 1 point difference. The fact that I can get female Corrin to exceed Sharena in rating by merging units means she'll easily catch up.
Here am I now getting my spares leveled up to 20.
My current 5* Female Corrin is HP up, Res down. I am assuming Speed up, Res down will be the best type to use although I haven't obtained one yet. Hopefully I'll get one later on, we already know that merging a 5* with +x levels to a 5* unit with no +x levels will transfer over the +x levels which is good.

4.5+4.5. So yeah, you're still in the lead for most unlucky person.
In calculation is actually means 30 pulls I did which is no where near as bad. I guess I should probably say the + version else everyone gets confused.
Anything that has Warding Blow or Defiant Res is usually a mage killer.
Kagero and Niles are the first ones that come to mind. I'd use them, it's just annoying that their ratings are below the 170 level. Especially Kagero with 153.
It ticks down every time you attack or get hit in combat.
Once the cooldown is done, it will trigger based on its description.
Ah wow, I never even noticed the number next to the hero ticking down. I'm a dumbass.
It took me two tries to do the hard mode map because I didn't read that I needed to keep everyone alive...
But yeah, Lyn was able to tank the initial hits with ease. Took out what she could and got out with Galeforce. My own Robin danced through the remainder. Camilla stood in a corner and did nothing, as Camilla usually does.
Shame about Robin's skill set as I need a replacement green badly. Eyeing my 3* +atk -res Nino now. Probably best to wait on spending feathers because we've got new quests and orbs and a presumably new banner for March.

First pull with this weeks banner:
This is why I have to ignore stuff like this. Otherwise I'm going to do 50 pulls to get something when others have managed to get a 5* with 1.
I'll save my orbs for new characters on the next banner.
Yes, and it sucked that it gave me a 4* Tiki when I wanted the 5* version.
Otherwise, as mentioned. This is giving a 5* version of adult Tiki available which wasn't before. I don't know if Fir didn't have one available.
I know the others already do.
So you can now evolve your current adult Tiki to 5 star?
I'm not wasting 20k feathers when it's easier to get her on a summon.
I keep seeing how this game works for everybody else and come to the conclusion that my luck has to average out eventually. Then I put in more orbs and I don't know what I expected. gif
On the other hand me being kind of the bottom feeder of arena, struggling to get anywhere, is probably more interesting than rolling through a 7 streak with god units and then having nothing to do for the week. I've got TONS of 4* units who could end up being bonus characters in any given week so I've got at least some incentive to level them. After seeing what I was able to pull off with my 3* Narcian I'm thinking I should take another look at leveling some of my lower units with the ruby/emerald/sapphire weapons just to use as situational counters.

my last 3 pulls last week were all trash, first good one in a while :3
I checked Maria's stats and shes a high atk low def which is not very good for a healer.
She's better at taking less damage against red in my experience. If you're commonly fighting teams with two red (Lucina and Ryoma for example) that you need someone to tank, she might be a better pick if you don't mind less points.
I'm using a 4* team of adult Tiki, Narcian, Sully, and Kagerou and it's working out pretty well. Sapphire Lance is pretty strong lol.

Well as I said in the later post I did mean 4.5%+4.5%
I don't remember how many pulls I've done since my last 5* since it's been over a period. I calculated it at 30 pulls though. 0.25% for every 5 pull, 1.5/0.25 = 6. 6x5 = 30.
