Subaki is a pretty defensive blue.
Why do you want a defensive blue anyway.
Just 'cuz Camilla and Seliph don't counter the red lords that well and I don't want to worry about them. At least with Subaki, he makes Lucina/Marth/Roy/Lyn/etc fairly irrelevant every map.
(I'm starting to suspect the answer is just to move on from Camilla.)
Yeah, I think you're right. Might try swapping Camilla or Seliph for someone more sturdy and see if that could work.
omg
I had a PERFECT six chain in Arena, didn't lose anyone, was doing it with fucking useless Narcian too so it was basically all 3v4
Then I ran into a fucking Olivia squad. Lost three dudes, but it came down to my Cordelia versus a Tiki and Olivia. Should've been easy, but my Cordelia has a Sharena debuff on her so the Tiki survives a hit. Olivia dances her, Tiki activates Growing Flame, Cordelia gets taken down to 1hp automatically and then dies to the attack.
FUCK.
Would've had like a 4400+ score I was so damn close.
I am salt.

So, after two days of playing i've been lucky enough to draw a couple good heroes...
my team consists of Hawkeye, Azama, Takumi, and Novi
I've been lucky to draw a 5 star merrik and and a 4 star corrin male sword user as well

Normal was fine, I had no problems with it.
This is what I've got on Hard:
I can get Tharja out along with Lissa and in a position to kill the green axe guy, but she then gets killed by the attacks from the others. I've run out of stamina again so I need to wait a bit before trying different configurations. I don't have a Takumi, or an Olivia who can Dance (Dance is 4* and above only I believe?).

Given upgrading from 2 to 3 stars isn't all that hard there's no real rush to beat the mission on hard.
Dance is 3* and above.
You might be able to put Minerva northwest of the hole (she'll get hit by green axe and blue mags) and then have a tharja or Lissa just west of the hole (Tharja should wreck Robin right?) and she'd get hit by FRobin and red mags while blue axe gets into position.
I'm not entirely sure what your next steps would be, but that may help you tank the first attack.
Given how F!Robin's actual art turned out, I think I would have preferred it if they'd just used the male version's artwork with a wig.
I...can't actually argue with this. Wow.

I like how frobin's main portrait looks. She looks pretty. The rest are kind of meh tho (attacking etc). I admit that doesn't look too bad lol. M Robin's art is awesome though .
.I'll try that once my stamina is restored.
Here's the details on the team I'm trying to do this with (everyone else is lower level / lower star rating):
EDIT: I'm considering swapping Minerva for Anna, who although she is only 4*, has Spur Res 3.

Finally got around to finishing up the story missions. Definitely solid for a F2P game.
Level your blue and green.
Get them minimum 36 or 37. You got time, then you'll do it easily.
Don't waste that stamina
I did it easily, though my team i had 3 40's and a 36 healer

It's impossible within the remaining time unless I start blowing orbs to restore stamina. I want to complete the map, but not so badly that I want to waste a load of orbs on it.
EDIT: actually it occurs to me, maybe I can level my team up in the arena instead of the training tower, as the arena just takes dueling swords and I still have a bunch of crests left I think.

Baiting the AI Camilla into attacking Roy is fun. Unfortunately I still can't manage a no-death arena run on Advanced.

You should consider putting a bulky Red unit to the left of that hole. A strong Colorless Unit would probably work, too. You should be fine if everyone is at max level.
I used Marth, and he survived an attack from the Blue Mage, Axe Fighter, and Female Robin. Those are the only guys able to attack him on the first. He has 41 HP and 23 RES, and survived with 10 HP. Buffs were not even used.
I retreated, and cleaned up with my other units.

My Tiki would feast on that map.

The stats and abilities of 10th Stratum enemies will always be cheap, but you should still remember to never do battles with 5 enemies. That number advantage is just unfair.
It's a shame that clearing it without deaths is one of the only few ways to get Crystals.
A dancer would probably make it easier. Kill the two top units with your strongest fighter and a dancer, then wait a turn and rinse and repeat.
OK so I now have a dancer (my 2* Olivia was level 19, got her to level 20 and then promoted, now level 12 and has Dance). What's the fastest and most efficient way to get her to level 35 so she can be of use in the Robin map?
EDIT: used a bunch of crystals and feathers and now she's level 22, but levelling any higher seems to be hard going.
Wat do?

Unfortunately, dance doesn't work on other units with dance or sing.
Good enough since you are going to attack twice right away so +atk is excellent. -DEF is a bit bad since she is already squishy but luckily theres not a lot of green you have to worry about. So I would say is a pretty good nature.
Not optimal but pretty good. Cordelia will probably die when something not red touches her so you might as well go full offensive.

You shouldn't be having so much trouble with high level units. On the first turn, place Anna at the bottom left and Tharja directly above her. A strong Anna will kill the Lance Fighter, and she will survive the mages. Tharja will counter attack against the other mage.
Retreat, heal, and finish off the rest.
Even with the new set of bonus heroes the top 1k is really hard to break into. I got 4584 points in part by surrendering at the difficulty selection screen when it would offer 652 or less and only got rank 888, which two hours later is already down to 906. This is simply not achievable with Catria and without Hector or Effie.

Stupid question. But what's the difference between 5 ⭐️ Vs 5 ⭐️ focus? And if there is a difference how can you tell them apart?
I just drew Fir, who is a 5 ⭐️ focus. And the only reason I know, is that's the only version available :lol

Once you have them there's no difference. The idea is just that there are four particular 5* heroes that you're particularly likely to get for a given banner and so you're much more likely to end up summoning them. Sometimes the focus heroes are heroes that you can't ordinarily pull at 5*, but they're still identical to the 5* versions of those heroes you could create by promoting a 4* version. But you're never going to be able to tell whether you got 5* focus Hawkeye or just regular 5* Hawkeye.
Focus just means you have an increased chance of summoning them.
Heroes is starting to feel thin to me. I don't really want to spend more money on it and the feathers are so limited I have no desire to level the team I want :<

That's why I said in the first line of the quote, "You can't..."
I was thinking of a scenario of what would happen if it was able to be used.
Its not 100% optimal (I would say + ATK - min spd is now optimal if you can inherit wary fighter).
But she is a glass unit design best used with a dancer and +ATk is the best mod for her in that role.

I finally did the Advanced Robin map in the silliest way: my level 36 Julia with 3 people all supporting her
At no point in the map did anyone actually fight except Julia.
Her supports were:
* Lissa (for healing with Rehabilitate so Julia could survive more than one round)
* Olivia (for dancing to help Julia move and attack more, plus provide a +4 atk buff)
* Selena (to haul Lissa and Olivia out of the danger area after doing their jobs )
The fun thing with this strat is that the only character's stats that matter are Julia's. The rest are just there for their active ability XD
It's surprising how important the sequence of events is to make it work for me though. If my Julia attacks the green axe user she won't survive the first volley due to the after-combat debuff so I have to begin by just slapping her out there without attacking

ofc, I never said it was. Its good enough tho.

Fun (and probably illegal) weapon+skill combo that doesn't involve Counter nor Vantage: Gravity + Knock Back. This can severely reduce the threat range of ranged units, effectively forcing them to only ever engage the healer. Not that healers are likely to win a ranged fight, but it seems like a fun stall tactic if they can take two rounds of combat. lol
If the target in question is a melee unit though, gg. 100/0 matchup without a wall or other unit to stop the knockback. Any magic user (or sufficiently strong archer), regardless of Gravity effect, can also win the armor knight matchup for free if they had Knock Back.
Units w/ Gravity: Elise, Lissa, Leo (not healer, but Brynhildr has a similar effect)
Units w/ Knock Back: Barst, Olivia

I prefer this as well.
Spitballing here, but I wonder if your Minerva is able to take out the Red Mage in one turn (Olivia would have to dance to get her there) and then survive the enemy phase blue/green attacks? If Minerva had Sacred Cowl and it might be doable if someone buffed her Res at the beginning of that turn.
Not positive on this because after you posted the map last night, I stared at it for a couple minutes (I hadn't cleared it yet either) and came up with that solution for Camilla/Olivia on my team. And it just baaaaarely worked. I had to get a healer to come in to replenish her HP as well for Turn 2's enemy phase. Looking at your Minerva stats, I'm not sure if it would work... My Camilla is HP 38/ATK 38/DEF 31 /SP 27/RES 28 and still narrowly survived Turn 1 with, like, 7 HP left. Would Sacred Cowl's -30% range damage help that much? Minerva's low res is a problem here.
The Red Mage's placement in this map is mean. I liked the puzzle-solving aspect of figuring it out, but it feels like a setup where some people just have the wrong leveled-up units to be able to complete it.
doesn't seem like anything with Gravity has an open B slot so I doubt it'd be allowed. I expect there to be restrictions on shenanigans like this anyways, in particular knock back or drag back on ranged units,
Huh, didn't know this was a thing. Cool!

Hm, yeah, that would throw a wrench in the works if you can only add to empty slots. Probably likely to avoid having every unit be a clone barring stats.
Wonder what other restrictions they could add? One empty slot only? No Tier 3 skills or tier-less skills (e.g. Close Counter)?

Arena and arena missions (the missions earn you 1k feathers each and you'll get 1.6k on offence for running a 7 win streak team with a bonus character assuming the stats are high enough. If you get enough points you'll rank and earn an additional chunk of feathers on top of that.
While still slow for reaching that 20k for 5 stars, it's a lot faster than the 5-15 daily feathers from your castle
