Ohh why did i miss such a important point!? Of course now Celica is definitely better!

@SatsumaFSoysoyMaybe i should mention that im calculating Tharja with the most common build and thats + Spd - Def. If neutral IV, she isn't double Celica. With Swift Sparrow i admit it was my mistake, i just take a apparently false source. Nice to know it. The last point i agree with you, Celica is more the standalone character than Tharja, who need buff in order to nuke enimies.

@SatsumaFSoysoyDarting Blow Tharja is going to outspeed all variants of non-speed Celica like mine and Alternis. That's why i think it's important to defeat her first with your own Darting Blow, because just one merged Tharja can take a DB Celicia with 1 hp. L&D isn't really worth with that much recoil you are getting. About Swift Sparrow as i competitive oriented player, it has such a low sp cost, that you just got low points each match and isn't worth in my opinion. Furthermore im sure that people who are using Tharja got Buffers like Eirika or Ephraim (at least on high arena matches). @Ice DragonWell im not talking about the character, but the skill, which you are seeing very rare bruh.

@AlternisA coincidence that i got a -HP +Res too, after i analysed her i come to the decision that Darting Blow or Death Blow would be the most suited A skill. The reason why, is that she is able to ORKO many units safe. If you want the safe ORKO then im sure Death Blow is the all the way. But then it's fact that she is inferior to Tharja, that's her problem. You have to play the rare Red Tome Breaker or playing Darting Blow + Spd Bonus from Hone/Spurs and that's the way im using her.

My Score: 4854 Tier 14 Rank: 344 at 3:40 pm UTC+2 Defense: 590 Well that's the best score i ever got, so im not complaining. Are Tier 15 people btw got better rewards than me? Would be somewhat demovating, because i already reach the highest reward as Tier 14 with 3 orbs and 1700 feathers.

The first pull round and i got a Celica +Res -Hp. Not very competitive, but still im happy that i don't have worries anymore about the next bonus character.

Now that you are saying that, recently i put Sharena Hone Atk 3, because i was unsatisfied with Fortify Def and Threaten Spd and got some matchup with 2 points more. But still i think it's doubtful, because i spent only on Ogma already more than 3k sp, which is in my opinion a high benchmark. I have the theory that, inherited skills weight a bit better than default skills, still i didn't test it.

@Whistle yeah Sharena has higher BST, but im talking about Reinhardt.

How many matches did you make? It's sometimes happening that you get a bad roll or maybe it could help, how much points you are losing. Im pretty sure i gained more points for using expensive skills. Then im not sure if skills that are not fully skilled influcence the outcome of points, because im only using full skilled units. About cavalry units and mages getting more bonus cause low BST would be new for me. I know rating doesn't really affect anymore, but it's the first time i heard something like that. Tomorrow im gonna test, if its something true about it.

This week is one of the best i ever had. With 4846 it's just two points more than the last score but, well it's fine as long as i get the tier 17 reward. In defense im getting the jump from usual 2-4 now to 10+ victories. I think im gonna like the new arena system, because my average defense team check some enimies a lot better than last season. In fact i got lucky again just because i pulled recently a Minerva as L&D fodder and a Julia with finally the right IVs. Rank is 360 at 4:00 am UTC+2. My team for anyone, who is interested.

I scored 4844 yesterday and rankend 287 from Tier 14 to 17. Defensive is very nice to me, already got more than 10 wins.

With the new arena reward system, players, who already played at the begenning, got now advantage with their Tiers ranking. Now defense teams need bonus heroes too, which seems fine to me because my Ike is on defense and on offense. Its gonna interesting guys.

Well that's interesting. I just looked up with the most expensive skills, which are Escape Route, Wary Fighter, Quick Riposte and Heavy blade (i excluded skills like distant counter because they are only one time upgrade skills), so maybe you should focus on this skills. Edit: I forgot to mention Poisen Strike and Renewal and Wings of Mercy, which you see very often in arena

Does it influence all skills or do you think it matters only with ABC skills? That would mean, you should't use your default skills, because they are less expensive than inherited ones.

After changing my mindset about base stat, i tried to change my team with a merged unit regardless of base stat and lucky i got a +1 Julia. With Julia, Ogma, Ike and Sharena my team is way more satisfying and thus i getting a solid score of 4834. But the rank is way lower from the last week, 1500 last week to probably 2000 at the end. My problem is still not solved, so i need still changes on my team to even maintain my rank. I thinking about to spend my last 40 orbs to pull a Hector or waiting for next week, when voting gauntlet banner comes up with Julia to increase the chance for a +2. I appreciate any suggestions from you guys.
