HyperBowser

Last week I summoned a +Spd, -Res Faye. Should I train her up and try to give her a darting blow and/or debuffer build, or should I have another archer inherit her firesweep bow? (I could see it work nicely with a life & death build)

Archer Atlas has been working out pretty well for me so far. Sure besides his HP and Atk his other stats aren't very impressive but a Killer Bow fixes his issue of not being able to double (and he has the HP to cast it's combat art constantly). And while his skill and luck aren't the best around the +15 hit boost from the combat art does fix up his hit rates mostly. Bevore that he was just really solid ranged chip damage which was really usefull when fighting arcanists and cantors (now he just straight up kills them). Mage Atlas could also be funny. He wouldn't double anything ever (and get's doubled by everything) but he's probably one of the better exploiters of Sagittae and he's the only unit on Celica's route with Rescue (which would have massive range when combined with his high attack stat).

Tried the Lloyd focus to see if I could get a Hinoka or a second Ninian. Got a bunch of three stars and a +Spd, -Res Faye. Should I train her up or give her bow to Jeorge or keep it for a potentional future mounted/flying archer?

Map was kind of a joke with horse emblem. I used Xander with Quick Riposte + Ward Cavalry, Leo and Ursula with Blade Tomes + Hone Cavalry and Cecilia with a Gronnraven TA build + Fortify Cavalry. Xander dealt with the mounted archer, Cecilia dealt with the lance cavalier and blue mage, Leo the axe pegasus and Ursula took down Lloyd.

Managed to get a another deathless streak using a flier team (gotta love Subaki being a bonus unit) I might make it to tier 18 but I'll probably get to stick arround in 17.

The Hana I use seems to be +Speed, -Defense, this would explain all the one shots on counter attacks. Oh yeah would Escutcheon be a decent option for her? It would allow her to avoid being one shot and most things tend to die in four or less hits anyway.

I do like how these seals are gotten through character specific quests. I never really gave Hana a try (she's more fragile than I'd like) but when I gave her a brave sword while leveling I started to appreciate her quadrupling most things with a brave sword. Once I give her desperation from a spare Shanna I have, she should be able to kill things without getting murdered by the first counter attack. Ardent sacrifice might also be nice to push her into desperation range.

This defense team is doing great: Corrin has all the debuff skills in the world. Celica and Ninian have Wings of Mercy. And Hector has bonfire and vantage. I suspect Corrin goes in, get's herself almost killed (besides green mages not many things can kill her in one round of combat) and debuffs everything. Celica and Ninian teleport in and things start to die. After that I suspect they either surrendered or lost their only Hector counter.

I got a +Spd, - Res Leo and a +Atk, -HP Mae from the Rite of Shadows banner while trying to get some skill inheritance fodder. Kinda funny I got Leo this time since I got three Henry's from the Male Mages banner bevore giving up. Now to grind up SP for that Rauorblade build I wanted to do with him.

I got about three of them in the first week of release bevore they even announced skill inheritance. She did get overly balanced 42/50/30/30/30 stats out of it though.

This talk about lightning breath+ makes me wonder if I should have Adult!Tiki absorb one of my other manaketes for their 1 range breath weapons (she's nice as a archer counter but if she takes no damage she might as well just kill them on player phase). I have a young!Tiki who I rarely use nowadays but she's +2 and I don't think it's worth it for just her weapon.

I realised I never used Karel so I decided to donate his sword to someone who would use it more often. Considering she will usually be under the influence of Goad Fliers (and get some extra bulk from Ward Fliers) she's going to constantly proc moonbow and get that delicious +10 damage bonus.

Red: Sword: Palla (she made flier emblem work for me, was also my favorite unit in New Mystery of the Emblem) Tome: Celica Dragon: Adult!Tiki (best dragon) Blue: Lance: Cordelia (having a highly mobile unit who quadruples is nice) Tome: M!Robin Dragon: Ninian (best dancer) Green: Axe: Minerva Tome: Julia (voting gauntlet convinced me) Dragon: Fae (only green dragon we have so far but I kinda like her) Colourless: Bow: Jeorge (I'm not a huge fan of archers in general but I like him) Dagger: Saizo (Liked him in Fates, love his akward stats in heroes) Staff: Azama (roadblock, the healer)

With Julia down I've moved to team Robin and changed my team leader to the nuclear warhead called Celica. Alternatively I have a fully decked out adult!Tiki with Fury3 and Quick Riposte My user ID is: 9181764981

Would a +Spd Celica with the Speed Seal and Death Blow compensate for the lack of Swift Sparrow? Darting Blow might be overkill in this case. With neutral attack she would have 57 Atk and 42 Spd.

How does it compare to Death Blow and Darting Blow? Swift Sparrow isn't exacly a widely available skill.

Death Blow or Swift Sparrow might be good options. Or Darting Blow combined with a +Spd nature if you want to double 42 speed units (36 + 5 + 6 = 47 speed).

Celica's capped stats are on the Wiki now with her neutral stats being 39/32/33/22/22. My +spd, -hp Celica would have 51 Atk and 41 Spd at full health. A fury 3 build would push it up to 54 Atk and 44 Spd with a cost of 11 damage recoil.

That's sounds like a really good one. I just hope her speed cap is not somewhere below 30.

Just summoned Celica Her level 1 stats are 16/8/8/5/7 Anyone know her IV's?

I somehow still have 85 of those left and I'm not really hoarding them on purpose either (getting a deathless run in 1-3 tries usually might be a factor).

I just ran out of the flags I had but I can still get a 100 from using colourless units in the gauntlet and about 200 from the arena related ones.

Still doing really well on team Julia over here (and overall too) There are a lot of feathers for me in the near future.

Main thing is that I already have a unit who makes good use of Rauraven+ (Sophia with her oddly good bulk). On the other hand Henry already has G Tomebreaker 3 at 4 stars (for some reason I thought he only had it at 5 stars) so sacrificing him might be a little overkill. The only potentional future unit I could see myself use it on would be Aversa to deal with archers but I'd figure she would be a glass cannon and like blade tomes more. I have Sanaki and Adult!Tiki who deal with green mages pretty well (the latter with the boost from Fury 3 and Fortify Dragons) but having a mage who could deal with Reinhardt, Linde and Gronnblade units at the same time would be welcome.

The game graced me with another 5 star Henry (+HP, -Atk). Should I just give all three ranks of green tomebreaker to Julia or wait for something that would like Rauraven+ (I already have a Sophia with that tome)?
