Actually, my Nino can if Effie has 50 health (neutral) and is level 40.
It's just due to having Eirika and F Corrins buffs plus being level 40+2
Although I get that is with different conditions. I like Klein though since he's a mage killer and Glacies is good for adding extra damage.

I'm finding Takumi pretty mediocre at this point. What did people think was so good about him before? Close Counter is nice as well as his fast charging ability but he's too slow to double a big chunk of the top tiers and useless against armor
I think that he is better on defense than offense. I dropped him from my arena teams, as I was getting more utility out of my 4-star Kagero. That might change with skill inheritance.
If you don't have an answer for him, then he can easily take down at least one of your units in Arena on defense.
He's like Bastion (before the recent buff) in Overwatch. After you've played the game for a while and have a good assortment of heroes to work with, he isn't a problem. However, he is a big "newbie" killer.
Also, thanks for all the info, PK. Makes me wish I had a Klein. Seems he would work really well with a dancer/healer.
I'm building a Nino based team and I'm considering swapping out Takumi for Young Tiki to pair with my Ninian.
Long term, I'm entertaining the thought of building an All Dragon team around Ninian.
I don't either, but i'd just like to break down how his special works:
It starts at (4). Klein attacks Hector once (3), then he attacks again (2), Hector counterattacks (1), Klein attacks again (★and then he attacks one last time, activating his special.
Basically, when fighting Hector, he will always activate his special.
Wait, but Klein doesn't have the speed to quadruple Hector? I've been sticking my Hector into any archer's range and watch them melt without thinking about it. maybe it's because my Hector has +spd..

Ah. Too many Robins running around at the moment though. Plus Takumi gets trashed by fast mages with his terrible res and low speed (too low to KO). My team really needs a solid green to round it out. If I had one he'd be out.
It isn't a quadruple. After he gets countered by Hector, quick riposte activates and by that point his special is up.
Quick Riposte only works when counter attacking though..
maybe he is testing with a speed buff on Klein. tbh that's a lot of set up for a match up that may not work out every time. I still think Klein is a great unit though. I would want him better than the Taco.
You need a Hone Speed buff to quadruple Hector, yeah. You can't quad +Speed Hector (which is why +Speed Hector is so goddamn valuable)
EDIT: It's not much set up if you're using Eirika ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Fair enough.. but at that point you could just use Eirika to do the job
A speed buff and an attack buff, also need to make sure Klein is at near full health.
Depends. They fill different niches.
Nino requires a team built around her, but if you have such a team, she's an incredible murder machine.
I'm building one right now myself.
Oh I see.
In any case if you're using Klein, with the current system, it's not likely that you'll see a lot of Hectors.

What's the team looks like?
Look at Nino's weapon.
If you pair her with a character that can give her buffs, she does ridiculous absurd damage.
I'm using Eirika as my Nino buffer, but Sharena works well too.
I then place my Ninian alongside her to give Nino two attacks a turn via dance. That should mean that you're wiping out two units really easily.
I'm debating what to do about my last slot. I could use Young Tiki to benefit from Ninian's Fortify Dragons, or I could throw in Cordelia as a counter to the Falchion trio. Or I could keep Takumi. Undecided.
I've been tempted to upgrade one of my Ninos to 5* despite them being mediocre IV's(+RES -HP, +HP -RES) since I could make a pretty good team with her.
But man, feathers are just so rare. It just puts me off even bothering since I just know if I did, I'd get a better IV Nino next roll lol.
Waiting anyway though, maybe tomorrow changes the meta a lot.

Can't believe I only found out about this just now:
One of the reasons why dancers are considered hard to level up is the fact that you can't dance to a dancer. However, if a dancer unequips her dance skill, she's NOT considered a "dancer" anymore and she can now be danced to! How could I not know this earlier? I want my time painfully leveling up Olivia back...
Anyway, just want to share this overly-overlooked fact and hopefully this could make someone's life a bit easier. I'm talking to you, lucky bastards who just managed to get Ninian but are having trouble leveling up.

I don't even think Nino needs a team built around her because she does a good job of dealing with Effie, Nowi, Ephraim, and Linde on her own. I've hit 4550+ the past two weeks using Eldigan, Catria, Nowi, and Nino. If I wanted to buff her (and wanted the higher BST) I could switch Catria with Sharena, but I don't think I've needed it.

What's good IV for Nino?
The best imo is +Spd -Res. But anything not -Spd should be serviceable, though -Atk could also be a pain.
Ohhhh that sounds kinky
That's why I try not to blow through all my Dueling Crests when I'm desperate...

Is there a a requirement for inheritance? I put Anna and Barst like the example but it doesn't let me go to next

I have like 25 characters, I'm so fucked
Good thing I am training up my team of 4 Gwendolyns!
The disappointing thing is you need skills on each level. You cannot get the maximum level skill from the beginning and, that means you may need to make certain characters 5* to inherit max level skills.
Because you didn't unfavourite the character. (The heart on the character portrait.)
Skill inheritance's in too. Looks like we are given most of the freedom. Beside Hone/Fortify/Goad/Ward [specific movement types] kinds of skills, it looks like you can inherit any passive skills on anybody. Assistant skill has also no constraints. And skill don't even have to be learned by the source character; you need to have the skill in the list though so stars of the source characters do still matter. Non-legendary weapons can also be inherited, but only with the same type, which is perfectly fine and expected.
Lol yeah holy shit, this system is insane.
You can't give characters unique weapons at least. Wanted to give Eirika the Falchion LOL
You have to learn the skill after inheriting it.
