Not entirely sure what's up with my luck today, but I decided to just throw my last 9 orbs in the wishing well and got a 5* Catria out of it on top of the 5* Ephraim I got earlier.
I'm mainly focusing on blues to try and get a Hinoka, so this resetting my chances isn't great. Still, 2 5 star units out of 14 orbs isn't a bad trade.

Event is not very well designed. The amount of highly uneven matchup are high. Nobody should end up with 2 flyers they did not pick against Takumi and another bow user. Same for 3 of the same color against 3 of the advantaged color.
Same here but with 50 orbs, and after I spent 150 on the last focus trying to get her. This fucking game man
Seliph is not that bad and now available as a 4* drop. Eldigan has really high base stats due to Fury, but has to compete with other swords like Lucina.
They have added Olwen and Reinhardt from Jugdral to be fair.

Not really sure where to pull from. The princes banner doesn't seem so hot and I already have Lucina (no bane/boon) which I'm pretty happy with.
Is it worth going with the sibling banner? I've got Sanaki out of it already

Yea it seems like it may work out. Feels wrong not to cover the triangle with a green, but when I think about my time using Camilla she basically kites around avoiding getting wrecked by all the red lords and Takumi.
Last question, with Eirika there to buff speed and attack would it be worthwhile to unequip triangle adept on Roy to maybe avoid getting one shotted by blues or will that happen regardless?
had about 50 orbs, did one full pull and got jack.
Only pulled reds and backed out after every time.
Got a lot of CorrinM's but kep trying.
Ended up getting Eirika and Lucina on different pulls.
Not sure how I should set up my team.
Have Seliph, Camilla, Tak, Lyn, Roy, Linde (and like to use 4* Olivia occasionally)
Should I still upgrade 4* Nowi to 5? or wait a bit - only have 24k feathers and not sure where I'd use her.

it seems very advantageous to go in with a low level as your lead. My level 20 Lucina has been carried by my friend's level 40 - I seem to get the same friend character every time, possibly because he's at the top of my list. I still get the same points for a win as everyone else, and it's impossible to lose.
Oh, I do have Seliph as a 5*, it's just... yeah. I don't think the skill they gave him really makes up for the terrible speed stat.
Good to know about Olwen and Reinhardt though. Might have to give it a go again~
Any idea?

Fae seems like she is not worth the investment at this point. And Tiki is not winning any speed battles even with +spd so would probably take the +Atk.
Edit: Reinhardt is pretty crazy. Just got him on my team in the voting gauntlet and he one shot all three characters.

Been sitting on these orbs for a long time waiting for a good banner.
Up to 161 orbs atm. T___T

Thanks for the answer. I think I'm keeping Reinhard. Like you said, ohko potential and he's a ton of fun

Anyone know the answer to this? I rolled a couple of dupes and I'm unsure if I can fuse them now or if I should wait till I ones with better IVs and then fuse them all into that one.
Squarehard

No, the merge bonuses don't transfer over. It acts as a single bonus, just as if it didn't have any + on the hero you use to fuse.
I go in with a level 6 Eirika. This forces the matchmaking to choose low opponents. My friend unit can usually solo the map.

Kl thanks. Guess I'll wait till I get favourable IVs then.
I'm pretty sure triangle adept only affects how much damage you do and not how much you take. I could be wrong though.
Robin is really dragging down the arena score. but I got no other choices =/
affect both damage dealt and taken

Further proof of the terrible design but this tactic works well yea.
He's actually wrong, I think he got confused with switching from four stars to five stars.
But if I were to feed my plus one five star Eirika into a brand new five star Eirika, the new Eirika would be plus two.

Oh it definitely works both ways. Roy with triangle adept wrecks greens and gets OHKO'd by blues. That's why I am contemplating the idea of unequipping it and letting Eirika buff him instead or equip a lower version of it.
I'm tempted to spend some of the ~200 orbs I've accumulated over the past couple banners and events on the new Princesses banner.
The problem is that I already have Eirika and Lucina. They don't have great IVs (Eirika is +HP / -RES and Lucina is +DEF / -HP) though, and I thought it might be a good opportunity to try and pull for better IVs and get bonus stats via merging to boot.
Camilla is good at 5* if she has a +atk boon/IV. However, in Arena she isn't used because (1) Arena is full of red sword lords and (2) Brave weapon users have lower stat totals than normal (to compensate for attacking twice or four times), meaning that she will provide a lower arena score than non-brave green units.

Looks like +HP / -DEF. That's pretty average.

Spent like 30 orbs fishing for Lucina. Didn't get her, but got a 4+ MCorrin, two Roys, Olivia and Tharja. Pretty happy about Tharja since i didn't have her *and* I really wanted her, and there's some buildup on the banner for a 5*. I'll have to check her nature later before I decide to commit though.
I might start saving for more blue/green favorable banners. My blue spread isn;t too bad (only Eiphraim at 5* but several viable 4s), but my only good green unit is Fae, and while I think she's good the meta does not favor her. After 5* reset though.

In most cases plus speed is the best with ATK being behind it. It can change if a character is closer to being an ohko char such as a buffed Nino. Lucina is not one of those cases and a plus speed will make it so she's almost never doubled.
As a result the worst banes are SPD and ATT. However, a minus SPD Lucina ain't the end of the world.
Bonus characters changed today.

Are you using a Bonus unit?

Time to rock garbage F Robin and hide her in the corner of the map.
Shit, the bonus characters matter that much?! I had no idea.
Edit: The fact that they don't include the names of units in the arena bonus screen is just stupid. I don't know any of these people are. Yes, I will look them up, but still!
Yeah, I did two tries earlier today.
First time I got three reds against 2 blues that we just couldn't do shit against.
Second time I got two Takumis and a Red. Against a ridiculously strong Robin, a Nino, and I think another ranged unit, on the island map which made it difficult for me to even get my Red unit in range to attack them. Safe to say I lost. The Robin alone could have probably just done the trick really!
I stopped playing there. I'll give it another shot I'm sure, but it just seems really poorly designed in terms of balanced teams.
Cool, thanks. To be honest I am just stoked to have a Lucina, regardless of the IV.

Out of this banner pull, the only notable pulls were:
2x 5* Erika
1x 4* Erika
1x 5* Chrom
1x 5* Marth (ironically he was from the Princess pull)
...and a bunch of other 3* & 4*s.

What do you get if your side wins?
Also, is that the supposed Guild mode that was datamined?

Feathers....much needed feathers.
free characters are balanced so they dont have a + or - stat
Wasted far too many orbs on the new banners today and bought an orb pack for the first time. Only one 5* from over 160 orbs (I stopped when my 5* chance reset)
I guess this evens out the luck I had at the beginning (four 5*s in my first 40 orbs). Hopefully I'll be luckier on the next one.
EDIT: +Def -HP. Could've been worse, I guess.
