When it is all said and done the cutoff is usually 220k-260k. I am talking about the current cutoff, which is now at 160k.

I'm over 140k right now which is right around the cutoff for top 1000.

When it comes I have 7 copies for you. Yeah, she is good fodder with Guard as well, but I don't know of anyone to fodder the skills to. I have nothing like a DD9 build planned at the moment, and Atk Tactics is a much more desired C-skill for my teams as of late, especially with how many Legaults I have been pulling lately. I very rarely pull the trigger when it comes to foddering off 5* units for skills. Maybe I will eventually get a 2nd +10 Micaiah, and I can give her a different nature and skill set.

OH MY GOD MICAIAH LEAVE ME ALONE! We had our moment. You reached +10, now stop appearing. I just pulled my 18th Micaiah as yet another pity breaker while looking for Quan. I would rather have literally any other 5* blue unit than her.

B!Lucina won't ever get a weapon refinement. She already has a stat +3 and a powerful support effect on her weapon. Meanwhile, Top 1000 is around 109k right now. And I still have Lewyn, Silvia, and Ethlyn at Lv 1 ready to grind their asses off. Now if only I could pull Quan.

You mean CYL Lucina?

But no Water season =/ Still she will score better than any of the others at low to no merges. Now I need to go and invest ~100k feathers into Tailtiu to make her good enough for the next two weeks since Fjorm allows me to not have to build anyone up.

Yeah, if I am forced to use her that will be the plan. Atk, Def, and Res Tactics plus a Hone Spd. Unfortunately, I was only able to pull one L!Marth because the game kept throwing Lenes at me. Seven to be exact. I hope I don't need to spend 100k+ feathers to power-up an existing unit or pull 3+ copies of a new unit every two weeks in order to stay in Tier 21. Whether its in game currency or real life currency, that will get expensive.

That's why you need to figure out why they do that so you can make adjustment to your units or adjust the strategy to make it work. Sometimes just putting a Stat +1/2/3 seal on a character will fix things. And like I said, there are people who will try to help you as much as they can.

Correct. You just need one.

Holy hell, I had to do a 2nd Arena run with a few hours remaining because 3784 fell below the cut to stay in Tier 21. And this season will be really rough for me unless I pull a few copies of one of the new Heroes. I might have to add a few merges and high end skills to my +1 Tailtiu. Although, I don't like my chances of getting every kill with her. This is starting to get stressful. I can't wait for one of my already built high merge units to be one of the bonus units.

This past Arena cycle was the easiest for me since the Arena change. Ephraim was able to bait and kill (or initiate if needed) every single enemy with ease. And that was with no merges or Armor Ward stacking. Just Atk, Def, and Res Tactics support. I used Pheonixmaster1's guide for Marth's Abyssal map, and I substituted my Elise for Veronica because I haven't gotten around to pulling her yet. My Reinhardt was also much stronger and his special didn't line up the same way so I just improvised. See what works, Grab your most comparable units and make adjustments where needed. In the meantime, continue to build units even if you might not like some that much) to make your team more well rounded. And there are always people who will help you as much as they can.

Oh boy, there is a legit chance that Lucina upsets Veronica. I don't think that it should happen, but the extra 500 feathers and another round of being an massive underdog would be nice. Also, if all goes according to plan I will spend 10 flags at 7x, 300 at 7.1x, 400 at 7.3x 400 at 7.4x and 400 at 7.5x for maximum scoring in the first round.

Sending them home for feathers. Kinda pissed I upgraded to 1100 barracks spots since they just gave us essentially infinite space.

Before I go nuts with the manuals, the only downside apart from not being able to get feathers for them is that the natures are also lost. Correct? So I keep my ideal natures and turn the rest into manuals. And GHBs/TT rewards units are 100% free to put in there aside from keeping one copy out because they are all neutral, right? If all of this is correct, I might just be clearing over 500 spots...

OMG this. I'm glad I went with the +Atk. I think I have a new unit to summoner support.

Hell yeah, with Fury 3 Celica can get herself into Brazen range with 1 round of combat. Kinda disappointed that Cheche's Axe is -5 Spd and not -2 like the Amiti. But she can do the Atk refinement for a 12Mt Brave, which I might just go with.

I had no idea it was today. Best news in a long time! I have to go to work now, but I will be clearing hundreds of barracks spots in the morning!

@Korath88 are those confirmed or datamined? If the later, you need spoiler tags.

IMO the GBA games are the best for strategy and LTC play and the battle animations are great. My favorite all around is FE 9 and my least favorite is FE 10. Awakening is a good game, but it bastardized a lot of the fundamental things I love about Fire Emblem. And there was something about Fates that bugs me to the point where I still haven't finished Conquest. Birthright was a chore for me, and then there is Revelation still to go... To make things worse, I want to finish Fates before I play SoV so yeah... The thing about the main series games that newer players don't realize is that using a smaller "core" army actually makes the games easier and lets you get through them faster. If/when you play other games, limit yourself to 6-8 units who do most of the combat and just steamroll the games. After my first playthrough of a Fire Emblem game, I always skip cut scenes/ story sequences. As far as story goes, the Manga is a source of story/development for Veronica. For those who read it and play this game, that is all they need. I like Veronica in this game simply because healers are incredibly powerful and she is the best one so far. As far as Frederick goes, he takes the "devoted to his Lord" archetype to the extreme where it just comes off as comedic relief to me. The only time I ever used him in Awakening is on Lunatic or higher difficulties because he is really good and it is almost impossible without him. I rank him much lower on my personal preference list than Jagen, Marcus, Seth, or Titania.

Nope, not plus versions of the normal rallys. Straight to dual rally+. SP cost 500? I'm not whale enough for this... Gae Bolg is legit good. It is effectively +10 BST against ~85% of the cast. With his skill set Quan will not be demoting. One could hope, but Rally Atk/Def+ will not go down to the 4+pool. Lewyn looks cool. His art and sprite that is. His stupid Meta breaking tome will be stupid if he has the stat spread to back it up. Hardy Bearing seal might become a mandatory upgrade. I could definitely see some weapons getting the Hardy Bearing effect on them. Silvia is underwhelming. None of her skills are worth being 5*locked. Intro trailers have been showing the units with stats at 5* Lv40 with neutral natures so what we know is. Quan has 44HP 30-32Atk since Draconic Aura did 17 extra damage and his weapon has 21 effective might against that enemy bringing him to 51-53 with his weapon. Silvia has 40 HP, which is really high for a dancer (Olivia, and Azura have 36 and Lene has 35) so it doesn't look great for her other stats. Lewyn has 38 HP and if the Lunatic Bow Cavs on 9-4 of book 1 and 5-4 and 7-4 of Book 2 are anything to go off of, Lewyn could have as much as 34-35 Atk and 18-20 Def. Wait, the enemy he is attacking has a Guard bow?? Odd Atk wave must be active otherwise his Atk would be 40-41 and that would be way too broken unless his speed stat is ~24-25... That is all he would need to double a Bow Cav with his weapon's +3 Spd and Swift Sparrow.

Went with Lucina because I expected her to be the biggest underdog and I really like her CYL version. Oh boy was I right. So many bonus hours coming my way... I believe this is the biggest miss match in a long time. I think since Summer Corrin steamrolled her VG? @Zeo You on Lucina as well? I'm pretty sure I see your Matt during the group thing when the score counts up. Really? Have you played any other games yet?

You have a +10 B!Ike, don't you have other units with high merge levels? I would think that you would be solidly in tier 20 if not bouncing back and forth from 20 to 21. I got all the top rewards again, even with a completely unmerged AxEphraim running his base kit + dual rally. He is so powerful, getting all 20 kills with him was a breeze. I think he got the better skills/weapon of him and Hector, but I still have yet to pull Hector. Now that Earth season is over I have to change to my Wind team. So I will eith need to switch AxEphraim to a Wind blessing or pull a new unit to give a Wind blessing. I honestly think switching would be the best option because AxEphraim fits on my Wind team really nicely. Soleil gives Tactics buffs, Gunnthra debuffs, and Effie provides Armor duties to allow Eph to make use of Armor March and she can chip enemies with her Wary Fighter.

It happens to me all the time, but don't worry. You still get the points for your personal score. What I really don't like is that it doesn't even let your splash damage to adjacent nodes happen so your contribution to the team is completely null and void. I spent a Conquest Lance to snipe the 3rd place guy by auto-battle Hard mode with 8 minutes left just to find out afterwords that he sniped me harder and I finished in 4th place. it was all good though because after getting destroyed in every round with several 0's and 1's my team turned it on and finished with an area score of 34 by completely sweeping the enemy Alphose team down to just their home base in the final round. Sweet revenge is sweet. I liked Grand Conquests ever since it was introduced and the change down to eleven 4 hour rounds was the only change I ever wanted from the beginning so yeah, I enjoy this mode quite a lot.

Healers do like his Fortress Def 3 as well. Lene is who I want to leave me alone. She pity broke me on the Draconic Aura banner and now I have gotten 4 more of her on the Legendary banner.
