DLNarshen Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Season 48 (1.3.0 S33) Results: Score: 4,972 Defense: 596 Rank: Tier 19 --> 20 Changes from last week: -Hinoka got Galeforce -Caeda got another merge (+4 to +5) -Jaffar used as a bonus character Pulling a dupe B!Roy off of Gunnthra's legendary banner meant Hinoka finally gets the Galeforce I've been talking about for a while. I had a Jaffar built up from a couple months back, and since I didn't have to worry about score his low BST and lack of many expensive skills hardly matters. Most matches he served as little more than a warm body, but he was quite helpful in dealing with W!Chrom lacking DC. Arena Assault: Rank: 2,875 Finally got a week where I wasn't low-balled constantly! It was enough to get me in the next scoring tier, which I'm pleased about. This was also done before Hinoka got Galeforce and Caeda was still at +4, so I'm hoping to get similar results this week. Hall of Fame: Spoiler This build was literally unkillable for my team without losing someone. Nobody could attack her and survive, and so I gave my opponent a well-earned defense. People talk about how dragon characters got the biggest buff from the weapon refinery update, but Faye deserves an honorable mention. She went from being thoroughly outclassed by nearly every other archer to actually filling a serviceable niche. Mixed-tank Jagen. Didn't think his Def could even get that high. If and when Nanna is ever released and she's a staff user, this is pretty much exactly how I want to build her. I'm very tempted to try a Firesweep build on Caeda, but first I need a Soleil. But considering how long it took me to get Athena...

Poimagic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This will be my first arena update, so her I go: Tier: 19 -> 20 Team: Fjorm+1, Black Knight+1, C!Robin, S!Camilla If there is one thing that is good about this, it's that the 4 orbs gained allow me to guarantee a full summon tomorrow, so that's good, right?

LordFrigid Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Offense score of 5092 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 614 for max rewards. Teams faced (streak): Spoiler Teams faced (other): Spoiler Flier Emblem did the things again. Flier bonus units are the best. Up next: two more weeks of Flier emblem, this time with song & buff power! I might break out Corrin's Blárblade+ for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banner with the Children of Fate characters had Fjorm, Shiro, Siegbert, Soleil, Michalis, Ayra, Ephraim, Donnel, Olivia, and Sharena. The one after that was this past week's set, which also didn't have Rhajat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Alright! Got AA out of the way to focus on the rest of the TT and VG without worries. I got a score of 4966, this should make it into the top 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimagic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If there is one thing I feel bad about, it's blowing about 20 crests and not getting a score above the 2,800's. I was doing good on the last crest, but I made a mistake and lost for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilda Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 ok i am getting Defense wins out of my ass with Gunnthra Saizo Clair and Brave Ike, then i set up bonus unit Flying Dancer Azura with Flying Formation + Guidance (Clair has Guidance too) which gave me another 3 wins and now i switched back to my olde Defense Team. I am not sure if people are loosing because they dont know how to deal with Gunnthra, or is it because my B!Ike is running Steady Breath + Wrath 3 + Heavy Blade Seal 3 (he has an Atk+ Res - nature). Usually its that Gunnthras debuff criples the other Teams most offensiv unit (due to Life and Death or due to the fact that the stat spread is more offensiv oriented) unless a Dancer is in it, which is mostliy not the case (hi super merged Armorers). Its really a pity that you cant see why you won or lost the matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilda Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 All right! Got Arena Assault out of the way with 5234 points ranking me currently at #113, which should be enough to stay again in top 1k So many Gunnthras encountered lol luckily its easy to deal with her. Just pick a healer or dancer that has the lowest Def to eat her Debuff and whack away with red units on her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinite Dreams Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Arena: 5050 Team: Laslow +10, Reinhardt +9, Brave Ike +3, and NY Azura +1. Defense: 600 Arena Assault: 5072 --- I think I've been in my current score range long enough to say that I much prefer the 720s to the 710s. There is a lot more variety and interesting builds, less horses, and to a smaller degree, less dancers. For the most part, the fights are pretty fun. It's definitely been less nerve racking getting a deathless streak, but I still have to pay careful attention. I've learned that dragons and armours can be pretty damn scary if they are built right. Nowi is particularly annoying in Arena Assault because she has high speed. I think she's one of the units I encounter the most. An interesting thing that happened to me (and ruined my AA deathless streak) was my Sigurd getting one-rounded by a Barst. Barst. Mr. Reposition. I assumed poor Sigurd would be safe in his range.

All you see is Armor Emblem everyhwere occasionally sprinkled in with an Ayra/Fjorm (ok now Gunnthra). Like really 3/4 or 4/4 is armorers. I think IS should redesign the calculation process for points. BST shouldnt matter, just merges and inherited skills/weapon upgrades/seals, that way you can encounter way more interesting Teams. It really gets boring encountering Amelia/Hector/etc. on every freaking battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you run into the same opponents more often as the number of people who have all+10 armor emblem defense teams might be relatively low.

Sounds actually pretty cool - not because of its predictability but because you see how they change their teams each season - assuming there is change in the first place. Hope they make that real time pvp happen. Would like to battle against you one day ☺☺☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start to remember things like x player runs a Steady Breath Firesweep Gwendolyn with Wrath that can be taken advantage of by a ranged unit, etc. (For the life of me, I can't remember who that is anymore since that was over a month ago before Fjorm screwed everything up.) 7 minutes ago, Prince Endriu said: Hope they make that real time pvp happen.

Honestly, just being able to create a map using your own units (maps themselves come from a pool of pre-made maps, but you can put units and starting locations wherever the hell you want) for players on your friends list to play would be plenty cool enough.

Dont know about rules but I could think of lots varieties of modes ☺ My recent idea was a take on shadowverse/hearthstone where you draw from a set of units. Like battling against another player both have like up to 32 units in their 'deck' etc. Of course this was just a rough idea and would need complex rules to work and be fun.

Javi Blizz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well, I got a deathless run with Black Knight/Hector/C!Robin/Alfonse, but it's still not enough to stay in Tier 20. I didn't expected to stay tbh, since being F2P I can't use all my feathers for merges, but is nice to see how your unit poll improves and let you fight to be in higher tiers. I mean, a few months ago I used to be in tier 15-16 Also, since I usually don't check the rarity of the enemies, do people use 4*+10 in Tier 19-20 for scoring? I tend to merge 4* units that I don't want for SI and have, for example a 4*+8 (and 2 3* in my barracks) Cherche with a Brave Set (only missing the + in the weapon) and a 4*+3 Beruka (which I want to make +10) with Close Defense 3 and Quick Riposte 3 (two 240 SP skills) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmokestack Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 @Javi Blizz A 40 +10 unit scores about the same as a 5* +5. It’s a nice budget route for units that are bonus units only occasionally like Olivia, Cecilia, and Sophia. Your core team should always be 5* merged or your points will eventually start to suffer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi Blizz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 @Prince Endriu @MrSmokestack, thanks! I need merges for my Flier Emblem (choose Palla/Subaki/Michalis over for example Elincia, Hinoka or Minerva because it’s easier to merge them, as 2 of them are 3-4* available and the other is a GHB), so while I don’t merge them I’ve had to move to Armor Emblem. Another question, which skills would you recommend me for those bonus units 4*+10? I now I want to make Cecilia and Sophia Raven TA, but I don’t know what to make with the others (other than WoM 3 for Olivia). Which skills (maybe 240 SP skills which are easy to get) could I put on A, B and C? WoM 3 on everyone? xd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoM 3 on everyone? xd This goes better in the Question thread but I’ll bite: You don’t need 4* +10 for all the rotation units—just one for each rotation. If you have the Askr units built up this becomes easier. Spoiler Sophia-Gunter: Definitely Sophia. Virion-Cecilia: Both of these are good choices actually. Virion has nice offensive bases and a massive HP cap to provide Panic Ploy support. Cecilia has two distinct builds in Raven and Blade that are much more effective due to targeting Res. If you have a balanced core of color and damage types Virion a good choice to round it out. DB Brave Bow or Guard Bow Bowbreaker memes Hana-Felicia: Hana has godlike offensive bases so this isn’t a difficult choice to make. Brave Sword or bust Subaki-Wrys: Subaki is the easy pick here if you’re running fliers, and even then he’s a TA QR unit without any investment which makes him cheap to build. If Subaki is on your main team then you’re free to run anyone as your fourth unit when he’s the bonus. Olivia-Donnel: Olivia. Stahl-Lissa: Stahl purely for horse movement and bulk, though pulling for a bonus unit or just using Anna might be better. Neither of these units are very good.

Yeah, Sigurd had full HP and Close Defense equipped. I can't recall the Barst's skills, unfortunately. I know he had a forged Slaying Axe+. Definitely quite impressive.
