ExpendableExtra

I hope that one of the Female Nobles will be a Countess or some sort of landed nobility in their own right with their parents/father dying of suspicious circumstances when young and will be facing intense pressure to be betrothal to their faction heir (If part of the Kingdom or Alliance) or another powerful noble's son in the same house. How Byleth handles that if they are teaching that house can have an impact on the gameplay.

I want orbs!

My luck in getting banner units have been going down since the Spring banner...

I kind of cheesed this Grand Battle against Navarre, with my team of Eldigan/Minerva/Kagero/Prisiclla. Kagero with 2 spur defs meant she could tank and ORKO both enemy ninjas on the enemy phase while still having single digit hp in return. Then Eldigan walls off Navarre while Minevra and Kagero double team the axe fighter and the rest is just cleaning up. Guess the map would be a lot more difficult without Kagero in general.

The last hour of Arena battle I managed to squeeze out 10 more points to a Score of 4536. Just got my feathers back and the Final Rank is #7031. Hopefully my Arena score can continue rising! Will miss having Priscilla being a competitive pick for a bonus unit though.

Score of 4526 is currently at 5902 Rank.

Used the same team of Eldigan/F!Corrin/Minerva/Priscilla earlier today and got a deathless run. Old score of 4461 has Rank #11308 as of now. New Score is 4526, a new record for me. Rank #4798 The Defense score been getting scarcer for me recently, just only had one defense win last season (luckily it put me over the top). Have not gotten any so far this season, probably should switch up my defense team a bit.

I don't know about that, I just finished my run where a Takumi prioritized my Priscilla over my F!Corrin, even though Priscilla could counterattack and they had no units to follow up against her. It was not like Takumi couldn't damage F!Corrin either as he had Alfonse giving him spur ATK. I think that "deals most damage to" is maybe a higher priority to "cannot counterattack" or at least on people that cannot kill the attacking unit. - Like some others, last season I was getting pretty terrible runs with 4* Ursula. Even with the -Blade tome and Eirika glued to her, she just wasn't that effective and weigh just about as heavy as my (former) 4* Kagero in BST but with much less to show for it. Seeing I drew a neutral Priscilla, I figured I had nothing much to lose to try her out in the arena, at worst I would just be spread around the defense wins to others. Heck she is my highest rated bonus unit too! +Def/-HP Eldigan, +HP/-RES F!Corrin, +Def/-HP Minerva, Neutral Priscilla- Rank#8090 This wasn't a flawless run, I lost my Minerva to a Ninian, Y!Tiki combo due to carelessness, but it was definitely a lot more effective then I thought it would be. My team other then Priscilla were physically tanky. Which meant that my units could actually survive until next turn to be healed, combined with Priscilla naturally having Rehabilitate (The best heal staff in the game imo) meant that my team was able to outlast a lot of enemies. I could commit Eldigan much more freely now that his Fury is no longer a ticking time bomb, which previously limited his usefulness. The tankiness of the team hilariously only increased more considering that both Minerva and Priscilla had Spur Def and F!Corrin Dark Breath+ devastating ATK/SPD debuff means that enemy physical attackers like Hectors and Takumis were only scratching my Eldigan and F!Corrin. The big weakness in this composition is that my team is very weak to magic damage, excluding Priscilla, the highest Res on this team is 22 with Eldigan! The only mages I have met so far were Ninos, Juilas, and a M!Robin which Eldigan can ride in there and OHKO the former two, but M!Robin required some maneuvering to kill him and he was able to do a lot damage back to F!Corrin. More concerning are the dragons, physically tanky and decent magic, Nowi being a particular offender. No Falchions or Naga makes it difficult to deal with them unless they are isolated. Alongside the weak ranged damage Priscilla provides which she doesn't do much more then as a chip or finisher against low HP units. That being said, I will try again for a deathless run, which I feel is a lot more achievable then with 4* Ursula. Besides, this will probably the only arena banner season where I can legitimately say that Priscilla is my best bonus unit to run in terms of BST! Glad she is actually viable in certain circumstances in the competitive arena. Might as well make my first all 5* Arena team go as far as they can!

Maybe they will release Ilyana as a Blue mage with Rexbolt to troll people that were planning to build all Dragon teams with fortify dragons. Then the color triangle will be complete!

I don't think Narcian can ORKO lance peg without an Emerald Axe, since hes a 2*. Can Cherche OHKO Blue Peg?

I completed Hard with Nino, Eirika, Minerva, and Catria. Minerva to bait and OHKO Blue Lance peg, Catria to handle the Reds, Nino to ORKO Michalis and Foot Lancer, with Eirika as buffer/ backup red. Wasn't able to do the same thing in Lunatic because Minerva was one damage off from OHKO blue lance peg. Had to replace her with Narcian, but was able to do basically the same strat over again, except that Catria couldn't ORKO the Reds so Eirika was needed to wall of the enemy reds.

Since I pulled Priscilla, probably the unit I wanted most in the latest banner, I have stopped pulling. After what happened to me when I tried pulling for Sanaki, I know its probably best to wait till next banner, even if I kind of want Ninian, Karel, and Jaffer. Once the 5* percentage goes above 3% its gets kinda hard for me not to keep pulling until it reset.

Good point. I think I will go for Swap then. Maybe on another Wall unit like FCorrin, I will use Reposition on her and see how that goes.

Is Reposition or Swap better for a Wall unit? I was leaning towards Reposition initially as it would put more distance between the friendly unit to the enemy, but I remember Swap will always be able to be executed no matter what compared to former skill. Then again Reposition could sometimes allow the Wall unit to save someone even if they couldn't tank that type of damage if they do it outside the enemies, attack range.

Yeah, arena now keeps me on my toes in make sure I check the enemies skills, just today, I saw a Hector with bonfire instead of Pavise which would of probably flown under the radar until it was too late since it has the same charge time as Pavise.
