If all you have trouble against is the blue Knight. You need a falchion wielder to self-heal or, try an armourslayer.
If I can change anything, I would have Seliph get Wary Fighter, Quick Riposte (Unless it's prevented by Wary Fighter, then I take Brash Assault), Defiant Defense, Reconcile and Miracle.
I'm glad I kept a lot of my dupes for now; time for an actual flying army
if I had a single Sheena
I think that's why the actual worry on the potential combinations.
Ahhhh ok thanks. How that applies to each character, I'll have to figure out as I go I suppose.
For instance, my only 5*, Azura, has...
HP - 29
ATK - 37
SPD - 27
DEF - 18
RES - 26
Is that a "good" version of here? I'm guessing her lowered stat is DEF and her raised one is ATK?
Also, the featured Tiki in the banner I've heard is good? I just realized I had her lol.
Today, in Arena:
"I never noticed, but why does this guy Kiran have a billion alt accounts?"
...
"Hold on a fucking second"
Anyway, Female Robin quest was pretty fun with Galeforce Lyn & Olivia. Speaking of which, now that I know skill inheritance is gonna be a thing, I'm gonna try and think up some builds centered solely around Galeforce (and hopefully pick up a replacement Lyn from Choose Your Heroes, whenever that comes out.) They cut ya down galeforce, but I'm gonna make you great again bruh

Good. That makes it easier for my Miracle healing Seliph to smash 'em.
Alright.
Let's get it.
The best of all the Annas.
Oh ouch, you have the worst IV combination
-Spd/+Def
I actually meant Miracle when I typed Mirage lol.
I now remember Miracle is terrible, has 5 cooldown.
I guess, Sol or Pavise would have to do.
I checked her before I promoted her and she was a completely average Anna.

umm...that's a neutral Anna, all Annas are neutral

Wait what? All Annas are neutral right now aren't they?
What does that even mean? Have they said any more than that?
I'm trying to get through Lunatic 9-5 myself and having trouble.... so any explanation of what you did?
It's like merging except to transfer skills. The full details aren't known yet.

I sense Galeforce Takumi's in the future if people can merge certain skills
Gordin: Brave bow, Galeforce, Wary Fighter, Vantage, Close Counter.
Awakening Anna is still the best. Heroes Anna is a solid second placer, though. Take it from an expert in this field.
Skill inheritance seems really interesting. It's not everything the game needs to be viable, but at the very least it's a great way to keep you invested in building up your team. If they launch it with a more consistent way of farming feathers, or at least require more badges than feathers for the fusion, it'll go a long way to making grinding the training tower feel worthwhile again.
More than anything I'm excited to stick Vantage on Lyn. It's the last synergy she needs to be effective and it's been missing from her kit. She's supposed to be a major damage carry once you hit below 50% but it's more trouble than it's worth to both satisfy that condition and keep her safe during the enemy turn given her underwhelming bulk. Vantage should let her not only assassinate targets but take a hit and transform into a monster on enemy phase. Maybe not ideal for taking on the Effies of the world, but still pretty great. If nothing else, she'll finally have a solid niche rather than being a slightly worse Ryoma.
Also thinking of how it could benefit Anna. I thought about anything to help her out in a world of Ryoma and Lucina, but think the old rule of stay out of their way applies either way. Maybe give her Luna instead of Astra for the superior up-time. Death Blow to give her reach against bulkier blues? Hmm.

in b4 it costs 10k feathers to pass on skills and they still don't have a consistent method of getting them

You definitely want to take Xander out in first two turns. He just covers too much space, once he gets to the center he can basically reach anyone. so I believe a strong blue unit is the key here. (I used Effie)
- 1st turn: I parked my Effie just in Xander's range.
- 2nd turn: Effie took Xander out the next turn after he crashed into her. Then I had Selena reposition Effie so that she stay out of range of Veronica. also moved Hector in range of Veronica to absorb a hit and deal some counter damage. (I don't think Hector is optimal here, any good ranged unit could work)
- 3rd turn: Selena and Hector killed Veronica together.
The rest was pretty trivial although I lost two units in the process.. Only Selena and Effie managed to survive lol
Hope this can be helpful to you. and some team composition may just suck on this map. I had a lot more trouble with Ursula's stage where I had to use a Light's Blessing..

This will probably be my last summon in a while, and I just need a single 5* red to cap off my team, since my 4* Selena just isn't cutting it.

Ehh that really sux - you will need to check enemy heroes each time in arena to know what sick combo they made.

Which focus should I use if I want a red 5 star right now?
Nvm... It ended up being all 3s and 4s anyway.

I'm really excited about skill inheritance. Was wondering when they would add it.
I actually have a few ideas from the text dump.
Firstly, there will be limits to inheritance. Some skills can't be inherited due to weapon or movement type restrictions. Can't think of any examples though.
Another is that some skills can't be inherited since they're exclusive skills. I'm assuming stuff like Takumi's Close Counter or Sheena's Svalinn Shield won't be leaving them.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they just let us go completely wild...

Skill inheritance is interesting. Presumably there are skills you can't inherit, like Dance (because Dancers pay a stat penalty to have it), and obviously it'd just be silly if off-color heroes could get -breaker skills.
One assumes that every hero will have access to almost every A-type skill. Almost all of these are stat boosts, either small passive stat boosts (that add to rating) or larger conditional boosts on either attacking or falling below half HP. Close/Distant Counter and Svalinn Shield are the only really weird ones, but current characters don't pay a stat penalty for these (which is weird because the weapons that enable Distant Counter have lower Mt). Triangle Adept and then two big stat boosts with drawbacks (Life and Death, and Fury) round out the list.
B-type skills have a lot going on. All the -breakers are here as well as all the Seal skills and those that have to do with movement. Particularly interesting skills include Desperation, Quick Riposte, Renewal, Vantage, and Wary Fighter.
C-types are almost exclusively aoe effects: Spur, Threaten, Hone. Also Breath of Life and Savage Blow.
The Cs are not very interesting. Mostly you just aim to complement a team. But the As and Bs present opportunities for powerful synergies, especially taking weapons into account. You could do some ridiculous things with Vantage + Close Counter. Fury + Renewal is a massive +12 stat boost (that is included in rating) without much drawback. Actually, if it's available Fury might be one of the most powerful choices; the existing characters with it aren't very impressive only because they're actually balanced around having the extra stats - they don't actually have +12 stats relative to similar characters. Wary Fighter is a gamechanger for any really slow hero.
And then of course everyone is going to want to take the fastest specials possible. I could see Moonbow being really popular. Definitely everyone with +% damage skills is going to want to change those as soon as possible. Miracle is also really interesting and the damage reduction ones might be good sometimes too.
Also everyone having access to buffs makes Nino-types a lot better.

The wait for Ike is so long......... Feel a little bit restrained with only my first roll characters and the others I got from special maps
I could put Fury on Fae since she already has Renewal level 3. She would end up with 187 rating.
Annoyingly if current skills can't be replaced, I won't be able to give Seliph Wary Fighter. Have to give him some C skill like Threaten Atk or something. Actually, threaten Spd would be better for him.
The Fountain, where you get your quests at 'Home'.
There are special missions at the fountain for each weapon if you're talking about that?
Lol. Release The ORB!!!!
