Oh my gosh I'm so drained....just trying to get back up to Tier 19 has been exhausting because it took me so long to get a deathless run and go back up to the upgrade threshold... Darn broken Armour 'Fighter' skills...

I burned so many crests and just decided to skip any battles with annoying units like horsies or W!Tharja. (I run Halloween Henry and Vector so BK is my very shaky check to her, and Sharena doesn't have DC). I even gave Sharena Swordbreaker this run because of the many Zelgiuses and L!Ike's that ruin my night. I even changed Henry's SS to a newly upgraded Atk Ploy 3 instead of the Drive Def seal.

I finally got deathless run 1 hour before arena closes though. I was fishing hard. 

Also @Rezzy @Vaximillian I found this interesting Titania last night

That Def refined Slaying Axe though. BK was battling her, both on a defense tile and BK could only do 1 damage! Darn she's deceptively bulky!

But yeah, with the amount of people in the tier, you need 4800+ just to go up. These maps weren't kind when facing armour teams..

I think the ironic part is that my score is two more than Vaximillian’s and yet I’m getting into tier 20 funny, really.

Anyways, team used was C!Robin (Tannenboom+ (atk), Swap, Bonfire, Brazen Atk/Spd, Swordbreaker, Armor March, Deflect Magic), Grima (Expiration, Swap, Ignis, Fury, Vengful Fighter, Ward Armor, Distant Def), C!Chrom+1 (Sack of Gifts+ (def), Swap, Aether, Brazen Atk/Def, Wary Fighter, Ward Armor, Panic Ploy), and  Black Knight (Alondite, Swap, Black Luna, Steady Stance, Wings of Mercy, Ward Armor, Quick Riposte)

I’ll probably swap out C!Chorm for Hinoka next season.

Odd build.  I'm wondering if that's a +Def-Res, because even my S Supported +10 Titania only has 28 Def.  +6/+6 on both close and ranged probably helps a lot, too.

Rank 5,024 in AA ... ouch. 

That sounds like just about every week for me.  I always seem to end up in the 5000's.

And as suspected. I stay in tier 20 for another week which is nice. I should have been keeping track of how long it's been. Maybe 5 weeks now? I also got 10+ defense wins. The first few were with green spam (Merric, Raven, Grima, and Lucius), but the last couple wins had Joshua instead of Grima. I kinda wish I could see how my characters gave other teams trouble or if they were just lucky wins. I think Merric's bulk and Raven's Galeforce might take people by surprise. Or it could just be the Dazzling/Wrathful healer. Who knows? 

I started building my Chrom yesterday thinking I would for sure be using him in the Arena... I've been doing some extra pulls to see if I can get another Chrom or M. Morgan, so if I do get another Chrom, I'll probably merge and use him. But if I can stop being stingy for 3 seconds, I might use one of my Fire blessings on Merric. I'd much rather give him an ATK boost...but 40 DEF is pretty tempting. 46 with Distant DEF (the seal I'm running atm). And maybe in the future we'll get a Fire hero that gives an ATK boost. I think ultimately, that'll get me more points. I just need to get the hang of using Ephraim...

Offense score of 5070 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 620 for max rewards.

I'm torn on what to do next week, since I have a good chunk of those bonus units built up and ready to go (F!Morgan, Hinoka, Deirdre, and Anna...heck, I could probably get away with using Kagero or Arvis if I really wanted to). I kind of want to use Anna on the usual Nino core so I can use Eirika's shiny new refined Sieglinde, but I might end up just throwing together a team from scratch.

Definitely a close one this week too, but I managed to retain my position in T20 again. 5,050 points was barely sufficient, as I was standing at 5,696 out of 5,758 to stay.

For AA, 5,048 was safely in the middle of the 3k-5k bracket, coming in at roughly 3.8k.

It was dropout week so my placement in arena didn't matter much, back to tier 19.

My new high score of 4,936 in AA was just enough to barely stay in the top 10k with a rank of 9,816. Need more merges to keep raising my score. This won't be good enough to stay for much longer. Really need to finish Matthew so I can start merging other units.

I went up too. I wonder how close I ended up.

Season 58 Results:

Score: 5,014
Defense: 608
Rank: Tier 19 --> 20

No changes from last week.

Michalis is a unit I've had for a while who sees steady use in other PvE modes, but haven't found the place to use him in the arena for quite some time.  Normally he equips Moonbow or Noontime, but in this case I'll take the extra 100 SP worth of points.  As expected, he was far more capable of dueling Nowi and other dragons than Takumi ever was, and the extra flier support was appreciated.

Arena Assault:

Rank: 4,057

Fun fact: This season marks the 30th week we've had AA.  30 weeks of tip-toeing around oppressive meta units with the lesser of our barracks.  I just hope I have the strength to last at least a year of this.

I think I found a really easy way to cheese out Defense wins. Normally I keep a team with just Lukas on it for doing easy AA every day, but I had to scrap it for making elemental teams. Yesterday, I used my Arena Defense team and dropped everyone but Lukas to do my daily AA run and I forgot to put everyone else back in. Today I checked my Defense wins and I had like 7 or 8 new wins. They were all for just a little over 300 points but still, if someone is having trouble getting just one win they might want to try this.

Welp 4902 was not enough to move up to 20. So a full deathless run with slightly more than my average of 700 isn't enough for T20 anymore. The only place the dragon team can go is unlocking potential and burning hundreds of thousands of feathers to try and get high merged 5*. Or maybe Aether, but that is still a lot of feathers and Chroms to kil. The worst part is. . . I am not sure if my Armor team actually has a much higher average match up. Amelia will pull them up, but everyone else is a base 5*+1 at best.

Ouch. I now really, really wonder how close I was to not passing with my 4,906 given that the gap was 500 ranks with only 2.5 hours to go.

My sincere condolences.

EDIT: I’m dumb. Looks like 4,906 was the cutoff.

I've seen people make fully built 1 star units and merged to +10 for the Easy Arena Assault defense wins.

Like a Felicia for example, to catch people off guard thinking they could get easy AA clears for the quests.

I've always managed to stay in top 5k so far, except for 2-3 times. Perhaps I could give Aether to Shiro, but since the score inflates every week now, that won't do much.

Did you stay in Tier 20 after all?

I did! Looks like the moment of me saying farewell to tier 20 is postponed for two more weeks.

Cool, congratulations! 

Perhaps you'll get some pity breakers in the meantime to boost your score (just like my Shiro).

I won’t because I’m not pulling until Thracia banner comes. And technically I didn’t stay in tier 20, I bounced back into it from 19.

Good luck on that banner then. I don't know these characters and I'm bad in saving orbs anyway. 

Yeah, I meant if you held the treshold for tier 20 promotion.

Arena Team: Laslow+10, F-Corrin+10, B-Ike+10, and L-Ephraim+1.

Ephraim did absolutely nothing.  I was too nervous about his lower defensive stats (mine is -Def) to let him enter combat even once.  Haha.  Maybe he'll get a kill next week!  :P:

I miss using Alm as my bonus unit.
