Probably going to use Canas [+1] next season. I really wish I had the proper fodder to make him shine, but alas...it's expensive. I'm still considering a -blade build for him just because I can, but -owl tomes are fun too....I'll probably stick with it for now. And maybe someday he'll get a pref weapon. I'm still clinging to the hope that they might add him and the other reward units to the summoning pool someday... I'll fiddle with his build this weekend and see if I can decide on something I want to stick with for now...

Oddly enough, I've had a pretty lucky run this season. I actually managed to stay in the top 1k of regular Arena for much longer than usual. I got my AA run last night and actually fought my first 744 team... (I'm pretty sure it was the first.) I dished out a few more blessings to some units, and I think I managed to use....at least 14 or 15 blessed units. I forget...But 5176 is better than last week. I'm getting closer and closer to breaking 5200 which I suppose is the long term goal. XD But if I want to do that, the next unit I +10 needs to have better BST than all the ranged units I keep using instead. XD C'mon Shigure. Just need 8 more copies of you.

Hm. That's an interesting looking bonus rotation. I'm either going with Camilla or Sharena, leaning toward the latter. It's a close call though...I finished up my Camilla merge project recently, and having a unit that can provide a +7/7/0/0 combat buff sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe I'll do a week of each.

I kinda feel bad because the weekly Arena quests means I'm not surrendering my third match every day currently. Probably karma then that I haven't gotten a defense win yet.

That was what I thought about the quests. I've been starting with 2 early defense wins, but then nothing.

Assault is starting to get fun now that I’ve got enough 5+10s. Three or four Advanced matches sailing through before I’m stuck slapping together teams of counters.

My alt likes this upcoming week. Camilla is almost fully built.

My score reached tier 20, but I'm afraid I'll be knocked down. Currently ranked 7325 out of 13234 though this will drastically change. Is 3560 any good for entering tier 20?

The cutoff last week appeared to be 3558, so good luck.

I was starting to get worried I wouldn't get any defenses this week, so I took a look at my team and switched the Guidance Seal onto Cordelia even though Soleil is the only unit on the team that it works for. A few hours later, and now I finally got a defense. I wish I could see if Guidance was indeed the cause for it.

Through happy circumstances I'll field Cordelia emblem next week as my defense team. Only not sure if to use a second regular Cordelia or a dancer or a spring Chrom as the fourth unit. 

Excellent taste. Seeing another step taken towards Cordelia emblem brings me great joy. Just 1 more to complete the dream. And Camilla emblem will be complete in 2 weeks, right IS?

I might just steal that idea go with that for my next defense team too. That, or I can just continue to be that POS who throws out Firesweep/CA Brave Lyn coupled with a dancer.

Can always substitute one or two of the Camillas with other big sisters!
needless to say, I lost because I’m a master tactician

Camilla as a bonus unit is cool and lets me free up an arena spot that usually an Askr/Fjorm takes, though I'll use Sharena on my defence team. I'm actually tempted to build my RD Ike properly and give my arena core earth blessings, I've never really bothered with the blessing system but it looks to be fun.

Did you put your dragon on a dragon?

After so many weeks without defense wins, I'm glad I finally have one again thanks to Lyoma's Guidance with my Furious Bowbreaker Henry and Razzle Dazzle Elise.

Getting really hard to get those wins these days with the new arena bonus stats though so I'm trying to make more Razzle Dazzler healers..

never pulled for Summer Corrin

I actually got at least a win using just my offence team for like three weeks in a row now, but this one has been a dud for some reason, even despite the cancerous maps.

This… is a dangerous and sloppy slope to take. Stay back and don’t sell your soul with Guidance and R&D healers.

But master tacticians give Miriel an axe  (Miriel when IS? We need more fast red mages in the 4 star pool)

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now I start the week by having a Lv 1 unit with a Lv 40 unit to catch Arena Assault people off guard just so I have some feathers at least.

I use armours so Guidance is very good QoL seal for me. And hey Razzle Dazzle helps with the harder PvE stuff so I only really depend on it if I'm desperate.

Strangely enough my Sacred Seals were shuffled a bit, so I accidentally gave Attack Smoke on Lyoma and BK had no SS....and somehow I got the defense win.

I'll probably swap to a more fun themed team after the win though.

I don't remember Miriel being particularly fast, but I reckon she'd be a good candidate for a 4-5* red cavalry mage. We have L'Arachel, Reinhardt and Cecilia available at low rarity for the other colours, but red is 5-star exclusive with only Leo and Eirika.

Speaking of which, looks like I'll be back to Horse Emblem ft. Cecilia for the next fortnight, happy enough with that. Scoring isn't an issue now that I've resigned myself to T18.5, and I find it hard to care too much about defense wins either these days. I've chosen to just make my defense team the same as my offense team now in order to free up a team slot (more slots when?) and don't bother changing it up at all even with no wins late in the week (like right now)

Dark knights look hideous in Awakening (not much better in Fates), and I won’t want Miriel to get tainted by that atrocity of a design. You want a mage knight specialising in fire? Here you are, Miranda from Thracia. The game is in dire need of exposure,

Miriel is the typical speedy Mage of her game (while Ricken is the slow one with higher power). Her base isn't terribly impressive, though (still way better than Ricken's), so she leans almost entirely on getting one of those precious +Spd pair-up partners and her Spd's growth rate to get going.

I'm sitting at 3,450 at  T18 and according to that arena score threshold forecast, I'm gonna fall 84 points short of the T19 threshold.  I'll be working to fix that.

If you're going by that post in the subreddit, it's presented a little confusingly. The T20 row shows the points required for someone already in T20 to stay there. The T19 row shows the score for players at T19 wanting to go up to T20. You're after the T18 row, the required score to go from T18 to T19.

It's also more useful to look at the previous week's score than the "ATM" score because that score will spike significantly on the final day. It's a data collection analysis, not a prediction one so the ATM number is constantly being adjusted upwards as the week goes on and holds no particular value until the very end.

The short of it is that you do need to improve your score, but only by 30-40 points.
