    That's wasting the previous blessing I gave him though.

    And anyway, I edited to say I somehow found a way to clear the map regardless.

    Lol ok. That's cool though.

    Anyone know a build Canas can make good use of? The only thing I can think of is mage tanking green mages with Green Tomebreaker 3 and stiking to spur units.

    I do let her come. There's no way I can bait any of them without going into their attack range because they don't fucking move otherwise. I hate when enemies do this too.

    I can't use Sigurd or Reinhardt, they have different blessings.

    You can always change blessings. Give rein earth for the quest and use the original blessing again. It consumes blessings but five orbs are five orbs.

    Did you notice she was adjacent to the lance cavalier? He has Spur def/res 2.

    I used two Ikes (Brave and Legendary), Camus, and Eldigan for this map. I somehow managed to lure Lyn away from the rest of the enemies and whack her twice on the head (because she was too resilient for getting whacked once; thanks a lot, stat inflation!), and then the Ikes and the horses played tag with the enemies, trying to carefully maneouvre around getting one-rounded in case of getting weapon-triangled… QR2 on the Ikes helped a huge lot.

    Same here, just changed the other twp for Sigurd and Reinhardt. Both dealt with Lyn and the Ikes just tanked the rest. Sigurd is the best because he ate 2 arrows and a tough lance and even resisted thanks to Fort Cav. Heh

    Also, sad that Lloyd doesn't get Tempest boost.

    This tempest has been pretty much the best to me as I'm using lots of units I love!

    Team is Lene, Linus, Nino (Pale Flower of Darkness , Micaiah

    Lene (+res, -spd) runs Bonfire, Fortress Def 3, Firestorm Dance 2, Drive Spd 2 and Earth Dance Seal 3. The support she lends to the team is outstanding, specially to Nino who wrecks stuff when triggering her special. She's the only one that can face Grima Robin without getting countered so hard.

    Linus +1 got his LnD Basilikos, Reposition, kept his Luna and learned Escape Route 3 and Atk/Def +2 Seal. Definitely my favorite GH so far, his art is simply awesome, it reminds me of how disappointed I am about Lloyd and Ursula :(:

    Nino +2 (+res, -spd) has Glimmer, Draw Back and Guidance 3 Seal. It's ridiculous how movement shenanigans are with these two. Linus can jump anywhere near Nino and vice versa. At Escape Route range, Linus can either get the hell out with Lene or just jump and one hit any squishy unit right there.

    Micaiah is simply beautiful and needs to be everywhere, she shuts down cavs, knights and any silly red unit dropped there. Her Windsweep and Phantom Spd combo is impressive.

    Ok so my thoughts on Refinements.

    Clair - Rhompaia: her refinement basically means blue Shiida. Her buff helps her a lot because she can trigger specials faster and can handle armored/cavalry enemies decently provided she has good buffs, specially on the defensive side, because she also wants to tank some threats as well.

    Camilla - Camilla's Axe: the Rose's Thorns effect is pretty well thought because it resembles her character and personality in an impeccable way, plus it includes a semi Trample effect in that cavalry/flier allies boost her offenses. Originally I thought they were going to add a poison dagger effect on her weapon to bring up Trample but the way they did it is ok in my opinion. It also gives her more versatility regarding team composition because she can work well with Hinoka that initially gets +4/4 with any flier around her, with Camilla she'll get 7/7 and if you want to slap Goad Flier on her then Hinoka will have a stupid 11/11 boost during combat that nobody will revert. If you want to add her to a mixed flier/cavalry team (2/2) then you can squeeze tactic skills in any way, and L'Arachel is a good option to enhance defenses with a double tactics build, so that's something to consider. The other cavalry unit can be Siegbert to boost Atk to all allies and Camilla can stay with Darting Blow and have +6 on all stats without big positioning restrictions. All in all, I'd say Camilla's refinement is the best out of the three.

    Yato - "Supportive" Yato: it is ridiculous how busted this refinement is, because any supported ally will have +5 or +6 on all stats depending on Corrin's proximity to it. You can add Drive Spd and Atk and you'll have +8/9 on offense or Spd/Def Drive and that's something ridic. Its downside is that it works only on player modes but still it is a great refinement.

    Happy Birthday! Being able to play with your favourites is the best part of this game.

    I will never forget how the game gave me a birthday present in the shape of Myrrh back in January, heh.

    It reminds me how the game gave me Micaiah (my favorite character) after my birthday in January. The gifts life gives you!

    @Zeo Happy Birthday! 

    Looking how your journey has been during the last year is certainly nostalgic and it also brings a feeling of pride to see how far you've come since you were a newbie. 

    Seems everyone had Nino promoted for the first TT but it was hardly a surprise considering that she really shines in that mode and in practically every mode. 

    Thinking of it I really should revisit my old team of Hector, Ike, Nowi and Bride Lyn (seems we got opposite luck, I wanted Bridelia and ended with 2 Bride Lyns haha) that brought me to tier 20 since tiers became a thing. It's a bit sad that powercreep made Ike and Lyn less viable but the OG team should still be pretty strong.

    This brings back good memories when the first Tempest Trial began. It was effing hard to me, specially because I left everything up to the last moment. I even stayed late up to 2am to get Quickened Pulse, but that stuff aside, it's impressive how Sharena, Julia, Tharja and Olivia helped me there, specially Tharja who got all the kills and Julia tanked stuff.

    Spent like 60+ orbs on Legendary banner and managed to get Lyn +Spd -Res. She's a monster with her skills and spd/def tactics. I'm spending more orbs on this banner to see if I finally get Ephraim to have a Fire Blessing Hero.

    Also, Lyn's map was pretty tough but, again, nothing Sigurd/Reinhardt can't handle. Good to see these two are always on my top 10.

    Are my eyes deceiving me or are we getting colored bows? Lyn is green what?

    To be honest, I don't know why they're doing this. While it is thematic and fits well to Lyn, it does raises the question as to why other weapons can't get other colors? Colorless swords, axes, tomes? What about a colorless raven tome effective against colorless units? Lol. Idk, I think they're overmixing stuff in the wrong way with this.

    Regarding the Fates banner, I have mixed feelings about it. While Kana, Shigure and Kaze are some neat and, probably, necessary additions, an extra Hinoka is over the top. Why didn't they just include Reina? Why didn't they took advantage of the moment and added Orochi, just to have all of Mikoto's retainers?

    That aside, I finally got Reinhardt on the Thracia banner, although he's +Res -Atk, but he's already superb anyways. And on the Fates banner I got +Atk -Def Kana, which is awesome because I can give her the +Spd Breath and have a speedy green manakete.

    Also, I'm close to giving Lloyd his unique refinement.

    Also also

    We need more res

    Obligatory tag to @Elieson. Today I noticed your buffed Def Beruka and said oh hey look he goes for Def and I went for Res.

    Anyone planning on just using Saias for fodder? Normally I’d be intrigued with his unique weapon and such but I already have sooooooooooo many blue mages and Speed Ploy is just so useful and locked to Deirdre who I’d be hesitant to fodder off. It’s kinda a shame because should he have appeared around this time last year I would made him a mainstay in a heartbeat. I was hurting for blue mages back then.

    Yup, Spd Ploy is quite useful for a lot of res tanks. I think Julia would prefer Spd Ploy and try to imitate her mother.

    Too lazy to go to the GHB thread so I'll just post my clear here on Saias Infernal.

    Team was Sigurd (useless), Reinhardt, Cordelia (Firesweep Lance+) and Airzura.

    Turn 1 - Team forms an L left of the forest tile: Rein up, Sigurd down of Rein, Azura south of bush and Cordelia next to Azura.

    Turn 2 - Rein deletes the swd cav, Azura dances, Cordelia Repositions her, Rein Draws Cordelia Back and Sigurd Draws Azura Back (to spread buffs: Hone Cav/Flier). Enemies approach by group.

    Turn 3 - Cordelia one rounds the green mage and Hit and Runs (landing on the forest), and Rein draws her back again. Next turn the rest of the enemies approach again, knight pivotting left and Saias sticking to him, archer next to saias and wyvern sits next to the pond diagonal of archer.

    Turn 4 - Rein deletes knight, is danced and deletes archer right where knight was, Cordelia deletes Saias and retreats. Wyvern moves near cordeZura.

    Turn 5 - Cordelia rips wyvern.

    It was incredibly easy thanks to Cordelia but I'm positive this can be replicated with Elincia and a 2/3CD special in order to delete Saias with a Hone Flier buff.

    Admittedly, Camus Infernal was harder and I managed to clear it with Rhajat and anti cavalry refinement. However, Sigurd had to tank him with double CD.

    As if the standard Lunatic Legion/Valter/Camus/Berkut maps weren't irritating enough in their own way...

    Look, I don't mind being given a challenge, but you'd have to be a masochist if you wished for the same requirements for the second set of GHBs. All these maps sans Zephiel's were made when the difficulty was amped noticeably. Heck, I think that's when Infernal mode was introduced. If they were follow up with the similar requirements of playing on Infernal with specific movement team, I'd rip out half of my hair. The idea of being forced to use armor on Valter's map is a nightmare just visioning it. 

    While this is true, I would say GHB movement quests would be manageable in a pair of months or more, a time where, most likely, we'll get more versatile units. We've received a lot of 1-2 ranged units that make stuff easier, heck I recall clearing Takumi's Infernal map with 3 knights and genny, and Takumi's map was Takumi's map. I think we just need armored healers and dancers and a flier healer.

    Heh, I give up on sniping Rein. Free summon was a beautiful +spd -hp Olwen, later on I got +res -hp Leif, did new round and got a pity breaker Eirika (Sacred Memories: +hp -res) and finally got a pity breaker Elincia +atk -hp, wow. I'll just hold on on orbs and save them for new heroes.

    New set of GHB have been extremely underwhelming this time. Heroes with blessings trivialize this set of quests.

    On the water side I bring Fjorm, Lyn (drive spd), Soren (unique Wind Brand and Drive Res) and Sothe. They wreck everything with drives and stat stealing tactics.

    On the wind side I bring Gunnthrá, Possessed Celica/Cecilia (with either TA Raven build or SpdOwl CC build), L'Arachel and Micaiah.

    On the earth side, I use Sigurd, Rein, Ike and Sanaki (unique refinement).

    On the fire side I bring Myrhh, A!Tiki, F!Corrin, Shiro/Possessed Robin.

    I found the past set more challenging tbh.

    Nice! Are you using her with the Quickened Pulse seal to guarantee 1 round Galeforce procs? If not, you should probably give her LaD3 and use the Heavy Blade seal to increase her offenses.

    Yup! I give her QP seal when I use her, and it's wonderful how she wrecks stuff with Hone Fliers and double Goad! She was amazing during Rival Domain maps.

    These are super cool. I really, really love this Lissa. She's gorgeous! It'd be so cool to see a version of her like this in the game. Also Owain and Ophelia, but who knows how long that'll take? We'll probably get another Lissa alt first.

    I feel like Felicia is probably a pretty solid option. I've heard very good things about her refinement, but since Lloyd is on your list, maybe you can wait a little while and see what kind of weapon he gets? IDK if it'll be fabulous, but it never hurts. I'm personally a little biased towards Navarre because he's cool. He has a lot of competition in the sword department, but I feel like he could be useful. I'm also a fan of 5 star healers. Sakura isn't one I use very often, but the staff refines and Physic+ are excellent, so if you're hurting for healers, she's a solid choice. Kagero's probably useful to an extent as well depending on how often infantry units give you trouble. I don't know where she stands in the meta now, but I don't think she's entirely irrelevant. 

    Regarding healers, it's not like I'm lacking them, as I have Clarine, Priscilla, Lucius and Mist as well. I mentioned Genny and Lachesis because Sakura would be replicating their job, and would join the court of golden Hoshidan nobles :P:

    @Kaden Marty?

    I also wanted to mention my projects, and see if anyone can help me figure out who to promote.

    My available fodder is Barst, Delthea and Sothe, in a way to give a unit LnD 3, or Death Blow 3, Drive Atk 2 and Reposition.

    1. Navarre: +Spd Slaying Edge, Reposition, Luna, Life and Death 3, Desperation 3, flexible

    2. Mathilda (atk, def): +Spd Ridersbane, Life and Death 3?

    3. Lloyd: Swift Sparrow 2, Hone Spd 3. I'm waiting to see what his refinement options are.

    4. M!Corrin (spd, res): Yato, Reposition, Death Blow 3, flexible, Drive Atk 2

    5. Felicia (spd, hp): Felicia's Plate, Draw Back, Glacies, Darting Blow 3, Poison Strike 3, Breath of Life 3

    6. Kagero (atk, hp): Life and Death 3

    7. Sakura (spd, hp): Drive Res 2

    8. Camilla (atk, hp): Death Blow 3/Life and Death 3, Desperation 3, Goad Fliers. Idk about her because I feel she'll get a weapon upgrade/refinement.

    So, thoughts guys?

    = EDIT =

    The variety of units that compete with them are:

    Swords

    Marth (Falchion upgrade), Celica, Saber (fury +def/wpn), Ayra, Seliph, Lyn (Sol Katti upgrade), Eirika, Joshua, Marissa, V!Ike, Chrom, Masked Marth (medic), Ryoma, Soleil (LnD).

    Lance Cavaliers

    Abel (Death Blow), Camus, Clive, Berkut (Quick Riposte)

    Staff users

    Genny (double drive), Lachesis

    Kunai users

    Matthew (fury +spd/wpn), Sothe

    Axe fliers

    Gerome, Cherche (Death Blow, Brave Axe+)

    So it's been a week or two since I posted and here are my new units/tweaks.

    I tried to get Alphonse as much as possible but got 2 Sharena and a pity breaker Sonya ♡.

    Spoiler

    Screenshot_20180401-183745.png

    Sharena works as an excellente support unit, granting max def/res buff, and can serve as pseudo healer with Renewal/Ardent Sacrifice. The last thing she needs is Fury 3.

    Spoiler

    Screenshot_20180401-183858.png

    Hawkeye was recently equipping Death Blow 3 but I preferred doing some tweaks. Hawkeye is the result of me polishing my party, I decided to sacrifice Summer Xander and take advantage of Hawkeye's +HP. In the same way, I gave him Hp/Def from 4☆ Marissa to boost his bulk. I'll need to find a Bonfire/Ignis user to complete his kit. He's also paired with Matthew which grants further bulk to him.

    And I'll tag @LuxSpes and I think @mampfoid because I was seeking advice for Cordelia. And here's the result:

    Spoiler

    Screenshot_20180401-183934.png

    I was debating whether LnD 3 or Heavy Blade 3, but with my party sweeping I decided to sacrifice Ike (because Vanguard is better, anyways) instead. And she's simply amazing. Fun fact is that while I was sniping for F!Robin I got a Sothe for an extra LnD fodder.
