Quintessence

My team was Lucius, Elincia, B!Sanaki and Hoshidan!Micaiah early this morning. I got a few orbs, did a full pull on the banner and got both Pent and Fjörm! Once Lucius reached 5K HM I switched to Fjörm, Pent, Louise and Micaiah. Pent and Louise already have A support, oh and I also am at 15K so I merged Louise right away for +1! I just meed more stones to upgrade her bow to +Spd.

Whoa I threw my orbs at Bridal banner and got both Pent and Fjorm aaaaaaahhhhhhhh Already paired Pent with Louise and training them up on TT. Pent is +def -hp, kinda meh but who cares, his atk and spd aren't flawed, and Fjorm is +atk -res which is awesome for her high atk. Thank the Earth Mother!

I went Ryoma, Xander and Corrin. On Corrin's side, there was a time were people didn't care about some areas, the south eastern ones, but currently they're giving a battle. I used all my lances and ended up at T 24 (past half bar) rank 12 so far. It was fun!

Nice OP there! The only unit I have so far is Sanaki, I'll bring Elincia along with her to wreck stuff. Regarding the seals, I fortunately saved coins for this TT, I'll cap Sp/Res and Brazen Atk/Sp, I really need'em!

This Grand Conquest I went Ryoma->Xander->Corrin. Surprisingly, I feel I'm doing better with Infantry units than Cavs or Fliers. L!Marth, Fjorm, Micaiah, L!Ike, Sothe, Lewyn, Linus and Sylvia destroy most stuff in no time!

Yeah BKs map was horrible, glad I somehow made it. Btw, in regards to your previous coment about the fodder I used, the only premium skill I have is Steady Stance 4 from a second Surtr I got on his banner, Steady Posture is fairly accessible nowadays with Reyson and Thea. @Anacybele I think Map 3 can be doable with an armored team of Amelia, Henry, Kagero and Lucas. Make sure ti have Swap on them or something. The idea is to have Kagero one round Sonia, swapping her with Amelia to tank Clive or just let her tank him, have Henry counter Bruno and kill him then swap with Lukas to block Grey, Tobin and Mathilda. The rest is cleaning them up. If Tobin's killing Lukas then try with Shiro. For Map 2 you might try a full flier team, have Hinoka kill the peg, then dance with Azura and go back. Imo, bring Tibarn to delete Sonya and chip Leon. This map is harder to clear. But Airzura is better here than on Map 1, for Map 1 use Lene.

The point of a guide is not only about following it step by step but also about trying to replicate it with other units. For instance, Map 1 requires a bulky blue unit to tank almost everyone, you can use a refined Oboro, Lukas, Shiro, Nephenee, Nowi, etc. Try adding a dancer, a healer or a WoM unit to play with positioning. Map 2 is the hardest imo, and requires hit and run tactics, try it with cavs or fliers with Flier Formation. You can use Reinhardt, Veronica or some other ranged cavalier. Map 3 you can counter kill Bruno with F!Robin and Gronnwolf perfectly, have a red mage counter kill Sonya and some blue unit on the fort tile to tank Tobin, Grey and Mathilda.

Ana they're pretty doable, you just need to have the right units to check enemies and watch out for the turn limit. I cleared it weeks ago and I'm totally not a whale nor I have fully merged teams. The only +10 unit I have is Linus and I haven't used him in a single Blessed Garden map. Check my clear just if you want some guide.

You got me there (as focus rates haven't changed at all)! But I meant my chances, my luck. It's been terrible for like a year and a half that ultimately I barely even get to summon focus heroes. I didn't get a single hero from the first laguz banner, I got Reyson and Leanne as off focus summons (4 and 5☆), didn't get Yune, didn't get Alm, haven't gotten any fallen hero. It sucks. I wanted Caineghis and Ranulf and ended up getting Lethe and Mordecai, not bad but you know~ I got all the rewards and have coins to enhance a seal up to level 3, but I'll wait for TT to see what seals they bring.

On the contrary I got almost all of them. I recall getting Ninian, Lucius and Priscilla, and just before the end of the banner I got Karel. As off focus I got Jaffar twice and a 4☆ Rebecca. Of all of them, I kept Ninian, Lucius and Priscilla, the rest were used as fodder or feathers. The only thing I miss from those days were the higher chances of getting focus units. The banners I got all of the focus units were Blazing Shadows and Celica's Army. Those were glorious moments to me.

So I was looking back at FEH trailers since 2017 and re watching again its debut trailer I spotted Catria with Brave Lance quadding an enemy. These evil doers had SI since launch! Also, lawl at 6 heroes banners.

That didn't stop them from adding Rebecca on its first year of release instead of Marcus or Oswin, who are arguably more important/popular. @Interdimensional Observer Idk, IS is mostly dumb, add to that that appealing to all players' tastes is difficult, but overall I think they're trying to do their best . They can't boost each title's cast uniformly because: 1. Favorites may be eventually missed or delayed to be added 2. At first glance you'll have every game's lords + retainers and one or two villains 3. They need to adapt to each year's events to push new releases to higher levels. I think this is the most important part, the consecutive Valentian banners and TT were amazing, imo, and the Warrior's special maps added some good bases for nowadays content. Next semestre will be plagued of Three Houses content, probably banners of Byleth and the nobles, some TT, GHB, Forging Bonds and then banners for each House. For this banner I'll go blue->colorless->red crossing fingers for Pent, all my orbs will go for this banner, I'm sick of stupid Legendary Banners that I get screwed with up to 10 and 12 pity rate.

Good point. I do hope they eventually get their original character into the game. Also, what's with the Tellius bias/fatigue people are bringing up? Is it because of the laguz banners, valentine tellius and Haar's GHB? Tellius has a vast cast of characters, diverse races and units that merit all these additions and more (DB, Goldoans, etc.)

I don't find Sigrun/Tanith odd at all. They're captains of Begnion's Holy Guard, Sanaki's bodyguards, which is basically the same level Titania and Soren have with Ike, I think that's enough merit to have a spot. Now I can make a Begnion Holy Guard team: 3 brides and Haar!

Why is IS doing this goddamnit! SIGRUN, TANITH, PENT, LOUISE, basically my favorite units in a single banner. > 3 orbs > RIP

Personally, I find flier teams easier to use due to Flier Formation effect on some areas and goad/Camilla stack. It's stupid, plus Eir is Eir/10.

1. Caeda and Clair get Flashing Blade on her weapon's unique refinement. 2. Uhh, those teams were the ones I used to clear the blessed gardens set. Whoops

@Anacybele That's a cool team you got there! As some input, Cordelia wants LnD right away, same for Roy. For C skill I'd rather opt for Goad Flier or a double tactics setup. An option for a Flashing Blade unit is Clair and her Rhompaia refine, you may opt for a +Spd one and cross fingers for some Swift Sparrow fodder and give her either Iceberg/Galeforce for quick procs. She also helps a lot against Idouns or Myrhhs that stall on Arena/Ather Raids. Similarly, Caeda with Wing Sword refine can get rid of Robins, Surtrs and Hectors which are annoying. I'd say build both because they check different threats and add versatility to your team setup. As a fourth member I'd run L!Hector with Fire Blessings to boost your unit's atk and decrease their Special cd by 4 and guarantee 1 turn Galeforce on Cherche, at least. Now onto the blessed gardens penultimate set. Map 1 - NY!Laevatein, Camus (goad), E!Chrom (hone), Frederick (hone) Chrom repositions Fred and he moves to the bottom left corner to lure Oscar, the rest group below the thicket. Enemies approach and the mage moves to the left. Fred moves back away from the mage's range and Oscar dies on him, Camus tanks Elincia and the rest move down. Then the cavs move to the bottom right as Fred kills Elincia and tanks the axe peg and Nephenee. Then, Fred kills Neph with Laevatein, Chrom kills the peg and Camus one rounds the mage. Map 2 - Sigurd, Sylvia, Reinhardt, LA!Hector Rein one rounds BK, Sylvia dances and he Draws her back to the right, Sigurd repos Hector and enters Bruno's attack range. Hector kills Bruno, Rein deletes Elincia, Sylvia dances him and they escape with Sigurd repositioning the dancer. Next turn, Rein kills Oscar, Sylvia dances, he runs away, Sigurd repos Sylvia and Hector tanks Ike. Rein hits him and Sigurd finishes him off. Map 3 - Cherche, Aversa, Camilla, S!Camilla Honed Aversa one rounds the melon crusher dracoknight, Cherche draws her back and Camilla (goad) stays close. On EP, Aversa eats a death blow from enemy Camilla and counter Glimmer kills her. Next turn, Cherche one rounds Linde, we wait for the archer and then gang on him.

I say the one on the right is either Luthier or Pent, or maybe even Seliph? On the left, who knows? Delthea, Nino, Amelia?

TMS banner because TMS will get a port for the Switch *crosses fingerssss*

Same how I feel, I expected Mythic Blessings rotations or something. I strategized on who deserved the blessings: I counted what units needed them, a sword infantry focused on atk/def or a sword infantry focused on res? And so on. Now I just give them blessings based in their affinity on their respective games, for instance, Fir got fire, Klein got water, Micaiah/Soren/Naesala got Dark, Elincia/Lethe got Astra, Lyn got wind, Florina/Lucius/Lilina got light, and so on.

I'd say Delthea because she is the cheaper and more versatile option. Death gives her sort of a spectrum blow/stance effect and you could give her Darting Blow seal to make her a more potent player phase unit combined with Death Blow and Even Atk Wave. For B skill she'd love Mystic Boost from a spare Eir, but Desperation is a pretty nice option for her. Tailtiu is great as well but you'd need to refine her weapon and SI to reach Ishtar levels. I currently have both and love them, their pretty much the same thing but Tailtiu's innate Wrath gives her a plus imo.

So today's Grounds map was... ugh... horrible. I tried a lot of times until I managed to clear this set of maps. Map 1 - Spring!Sharena, Clair, L!Lyn, B!Hector (even def seal 3) I just wait for the enemies to move down while Bruno, the archer and the mage group and move through the right. Hector deletes the Zanbato fighter, Lyn one rounds the green mage. In the enemy phase, Bruno suicides on Hector and the archer engages him as well, both surviving combat. Next phase Lyn desperation kills the archer, Sharena repositions Hector and he deletes the red mage. Map 2 - Gunnthrá, Lene, Lewyn and Ishtar Odd'd Ishtar is repositioned by Lewyn, Ishtar deletes the sword knight (Glimmer), she is danced by Lene and one rounds Nephenee, Gunnthrá draws Lene back. Next turn, Ishtar kills Elincia, is repositioned by Lewyn again and Lene tanks the axe pegasus. Next turn, Gunnthrá one rounds the lance pegasus, is danced, doubles the hammer peg and Lewyn finishes it off. Map 3 - Ogma+1 (Swift Sparrow 2, Wrath 3, Def Tactics 3), P!Nino+2, (double smoke), Hot Spring!Ryoma and Odin+2 (atk/spd link rfn, double smoke) This map was really tough to beat because of positioning, tanking and such, but Aerobatics proofed to be useful here. Ogma tanked the axe peg, then one rounds the ruby sword fighter, next phase he kills the green mage, Nino aerobatics and kills Oscar, then Odin draws Ogma back and Ryoma repos Nino. Next phase Odin hits the slaying swd fighter on the right blocked by the forest tile, Ogma repos him to tank the slaying glacies axe peg. By next phase the silver lance cav moves with the firesweep archer, BK approaches. Nino kills the silver lance cav, Ryoma repos her, Odin draws her back and Ogma stays 2 tiles away from Ryoma to tank kill the sword fighter and Ryoma Bonfire solos the Brave Sword cav. Next phase Ryoma and Nino team up and kill the archer while the rest stay away from BK.

I also got an off-focus unit and turns to be Leanne! Too bad she is +def, -hp but I'm ok with just pairing her with Nestling! Currently doing Forging Bonds and bumping my feathers for Delthea.

Personally I prefer to keep them filling their niche. I gave Alfonse his unique refinement and triggering triple brazen is amazeballs.
