Ended normal arena with a score of 5,036. It's not the highest I could do considering the whole Fjorm inflation stuff going on but doing more is just overkill because I just need to get to tier 20 this week. 

AA though, it hurts that a score of 5,034 put me about where I always end every week (around top 6k). It seems that I'll never get into the top 5k here if I don't invest in armors with boosted BST but I'm not a whale so that's not an option.

  • Tier 20 score of 5160 (Fjorm +2 bonus) - #985 (/5917)
  • Arena Assault score of 5200 - #1134

Well, that's about the same as I always end up in AA. The gacha was kind enough to let me build that super Sheena +7 that slightly outscores Nino, so we'll see how much of a difference that makes next season. Really would like to get those last three merges, though (and in theory, it should be easier with her demotion, but...). Regular Arena is scoring higher than usual, but even if that borderline stays in top 1000, there's no prize for it.

It looks like I'm actually safe to stay in tier 20 this week, for the first time since like August. I'm 4,900/5,918 with a score of 5,096. Also looks safe for top 5k in AA at rank 4004 with a score of 5,077.

It's pretty much all thanks to water week + Fjorm bonus unit buffing my whole team's score. It's a really good week to keep in tier 20 too, since no way I'll have a chance to stay next season with my bad bonus unit options and no blessing help.

4934 points ended up as 13377/13585, bloody hell that was tight. Gotta treat every week in tier 20 as if it were my last. Got me to 20202 feathers so that's neat.

AA rank with 4868 points was 18749 so that got pretty close too.

Season 63 Results:

Score: 5,100 (New Record!)
Defense: 610
Rank: Tier 20 --> 20

u7kquyF.png

Changes from last week:

-Caeda got another merge (+9 to +10)
-Shanna got another merge (+4 to +5)

I did two arena runs this week.  On Tuesday, I made a run of 5,084, and figured that was good enough.  To my surprise, I noticed yesterday that my score was slowly being pushed out of the tier 20 threshold.  The inflation has been ridiculous this week, no doubt caused by the Water/Earth combo we got.  Two of the best-scoring legendary heroes that everyone had an opportunity to get for free along with their blessing recipients probably made up a lot of borderline teams this week.  The Thracia banner gave me the last Caeda I needed, so she was given her last merge before redoing my run.  I was more selective about opponent scores this time, and wound up with my first 5,100!  This will likely be the last time I can score this well until one of the four are bonus units again, so I'm savoring it while it lasts.

Arena Assault:

Rank: 4,253

I still feel like I'm getting low-balled a lot, but at least I should be safely in the top 5K for a while longer.

Tharja then killed them all.

I've only given DC to one character so far, and I'm not even F2P.

Ended up falling out of the top 3k in AA. A little disappointed, but that tier is getting pretty competitive it seems. XD I'll take my rewards and go. Between all the HM grinding I've been doing, I've got enough feathers for 3 promotions, but I'm currently undecided about what I want to do.

Argh! I got kicked out of Tier 20! 5,070 something apparently is not enough. I think I will give Reinhardt Aether and Olivia a few merges.

Offense score of 5178 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 632 for max rewards.

I decided to use Eirika as the bonus unit for my Flier Team this week. Ephraim in the next rotation means that I'll be able to simply swap Eirika out for him.

wooo I managed to get back in Tier 20! Was really close though, i had to fish for scores 704+. There was a 708 which helped but with a score of 4934 I was ranked 13,363 out of 13,581. And i didn’t have to use my extra Fjorm for a merge yet which is neat.

also i managed to get a late defense win for each account which is a relief!

The only route I can see for picking up short-term points is giving a couple of merges to Michalis (water) and Xander (fire). Doing so will merely bump them up to the value of a completely vanilla Fjorm. That's kinda sad, and also economically irrational as it's a 40k feather investment each for a 14 arena point bonus that will be relevant, on average, once per month (on average, since it will be the correct season only half the time, and I only need to be promoted half the time).

Being generous and assuming that keeps me in T19.5 instead of T18.5 indefinitely at the cost of 80000 feathers, that's, um, a 133 week payback time on the investment. Yeah, I'll pass on that deal.

Congrats :D I don't bother with Tier 20, but I managed to get into Tier 19 again, so this week is my doss week :D

Last minute defence wins are great :D

. . . well this season is going to suck. No bonus character. AT least not one that is in any way shape or form built. I think my best bet is literally doubling down on red with Alfonse. So this week I basically have a 3 man team this week. Busy weekend so I probably won't have any time to train anyone like Saias up either. Probably will have to just be content with dropping down to 18 this week rather than bouncing between 20 and 19. Should hopefully be able to push back into 19 the week after even with dead weight. I guess I should have pulled more on the Thracia banner.

This week is going to hurt me pretty bad when it comes to defense wins. I'm not sure if I should keep Airzura there or change her for Sheena because dancing isn't going to be very helpful when I have Alfonse there only for the bonus points. If I don't get a def win in 3 days I'll lower my team score to see how they fare against people in the 696-698 range. 

At least I finished my AA run first try with a score of 4976 (the game chose to give me five 708 matches which is the absolute lowest in my range, how annoying).

Uh... Did I forgot to post my runs these past weeks ? Well, no matter, team was the same (see bellow). Got a good 4910 points this season, so that's straight back to tier 19 (I'm yoyoing between 18 and 19 since long, now...)

Fjorm got the place of Robin during these three weeks. I was really happy to not see the new Rein during this last week.

Caeda is +3, and got the Earth Blessing just for this last week. Her B and C skills are temporary, I still need to think of something better. Like Chill Spd, but I got no Fallen Celica...

Hall of Fame :

Well, nothing really stands out... Except these two. And they were in the SAME team.

Azama was super tanky, since there was a Vanguard Ike too with Tactical Def, Robin's absence hitted hard here.

But now, Robin will be back. Stronger than ever. ...Yeah, maybe not that much...

So it looks like they aren't going to finish out the first weekly rotation of GHBs for bonus units?  I was looking forward to being able to use my merged Ursula as a bonus unit.

I also find it funny that though Leif is the main character of his game, Reinhardt gets top billing for the Arena bonus units this week.

Swapped Leif in for L!Ike. It's nice that he has high-scoring skills, but the lack of blessing really hurt me. Turned in 5,128, burned five crests between sub-730 scores and stupid me leaving S!Alfonse in range of a Zelgius with Armor March.

While yesterday was a slow start for my Arena activities (only managed to get my regular arena score of 5,006 to enter tier 20 again), today everything went better: 

Two defense wins and I got a new personal Highscore in AA: 5,054. 

Since its not water season anymore, I hope it will be enough for top 5k again. My highest match-up was 728, but 724+ ones are rare for me. Cherche got her golden Border yesterday, maybe it's time to show off my current Arena Assault team:

Skills are optimized for score. Roy usually has LnD, Cherche QP seal and Cordelia Desperation equipped.

I was able to give M!Robin Darting Blow and dragged his ass through the arena for an okayish score of 4858. It's enough to get into Tier 19 again, which is all that really matters to me anyway. Next week will be relaxed since I don't think I ever actually want to get to Tier 20. I am fine going back and forth between 18 and 19 for now..

Turns out my team is doing a lot better than I gave them credit for. 3 defense wins already is quite good. Seems not many expect Eirika with QR nor Brave Lance Cordelia with Chill Def.

5086 in Arena this week and 5074 in AA, I think it should be enough to stay in Tier 20 yet another week. I could +10 my A!Tiki now, but I don't want to fodder off a +RES -SPD A!Tiki for some reason... I hope I'll pull another one soon. Ironically I pulled yet 3 more Faes and still no Nowi unfortunately. I need them to improve my AA score. I'm so close to make it into the Top 3000.

For the first time ever, I have a chance of staying in T20 with 5074...

AA has been getting difficult... so much so that I actually have to check for the enemies’ skills instead of winging it lol.
