    @SatsumaFSoysoy - Shamir with Deadeye is just evil. She and Reginn are just actual machine guns ft. Freyja’s laser beam horn.

    Yeah, I'm quite happy with Shamir. She will help me take down many Water season blues.

    Elises handled that easily as expected. That fairy clear is quite impressive, though. I figured one of them would dance (makes sense to be Peony), but I didn't think the only other movement Assist would be Repo on Mirabilis. These restrictions you put on yourself always make me reflect about how much I use dancers and stuff; your positioning is far better than mine. Anyway, Triandra's offensive power is amazing, as are Mirabilis and Plumeria's tanking. I have all of the fairies too, so maybe I could try something like this in the future.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy Reginn sure is a fun one to use. Canto is very nice for poking and running away. Shamir was quite a bit of an overkill in a lot of those match ups and Freyja had no issues as expected. Nice clear!

    Freyja is honestly not as durable as I'd think, but then again I have yet to give her a healing Special.

    Bunny Bartre does it again. Exact lethal too.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy - I had both already on her so the refine could have literally been either, I was good, LOL~ Other than it not working on EP, I like the refine, it’s pretty much as close to a Palm Staff as she could get + Gravity is great.

    Celica flexing her EP prowess. Kagero hits hard enough on PP for both of them. Quite impressive having them clear the map that way.

    That's good I guess. Gravity is definitely handy for these Abyssals.

    It's more like I couldn't run the PP Celica set anyway, with how the map is set up.

    Ooh, EP Celica this time. I was worried when I noticed the Blue Fafnir had Pass, and had a nice laugh when Repel said “nope”. I honestly expected Freyja to go down more easily than she did, since the Axe Armor decided it would be a good idea to mess with her Solo effects. Nice job!

    I never expected Repel to be useful ever myself, and just slapped it on because it was all I had. Guess I was wrong lol.

    The green armor is a fraud.

    A true Tactics Drill would had you initiate with Freya next to an adjacent ally.

    True.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy Both Reginn and Freyja are pretty godo cavalry units, with a lot of power. Triandra is a pretty good dancer with her Guard debuffing (personally, I use Plumeria more than Triandra since she buffs and debuffs, while Triandra only debuffs). And Shamir is so good with her sweep effect and now with Deadeye, making her even more deadly. That was a pretty good clear.

    Yeah, I don't see myself using Triandra very often compared to Peony and Plumeria. Mirabilis also seems stronger.

    Wow, Forma Claude with Blade Session. Didn't expect him to just ORKO Caellach like that. Nowi's new refine is great for her too. Pirate Vero is so strong.

    I had a bit more trouble with this one. Tobin could't take very well in this map and Fiora's 41 speed wasn't really cutting it in this map. My mercs and Tobin team did eventually take this one though. I believe this is the first time I brought Ewan along for a clear.

    A bunch of rare units here indeed. That's a pretty impressive Tobin for sure. Fiora also doesn't get much love because she's 5* locked. Ewan is perfect for destroying Caellach in this game, even if not so much in Sacred Stones lol.

  4.  S tier: Sophia, Olwen, Niles

    Sophia's is probably my favourite Resp upgrade. Olwen's new art is just super pretty, especially the eyes. Niles is imo the first Muspell themed one to actually pull the cape off well.

    A tier: Eliwood, Linde, Lyn, Cordy, Julia, Robin, Azura, Dethea, Eirika

    Good art all around. Robin with the Hel theme was pretty good, Cordy and Eliwood needed the upgrades, cuboon Lyn is nice, and the dragon is very well drawn in Julia's. Azura and Linde are also pretty, but not as good as the ones in S. Delthea looks extremely cute, and I quite like fairy Eirika's dress. Don't quite get the general dislike of the fairy themes happening here.

    B tier: Marth, Caeda, Minerva, Sanaki, Takumi, Lucina

    Marth, Caeda and Sanaki's are mostly just average. Nothing bad about them, just not noteworthy in almost any way. Takumi's skin is a more conservative take on the Hel theme than Robin's. I like Minerva's armor, but the faces aren't amazing, and the damaged art is weird looking. I actually do like the design of Lucina's dress, and Himukai Yuji demonstrates great skill in colouring and shading. I don't have an issue with his style in particular; I just think IS could've picked someone else for the job here since Lucina isn't known to be a small bean.

    C tier: Hector, Ike, Roy

    Hector became kinda skinny, and doesn't pull off the cape well. I get what Kita Senri was going for with Ike's cape, but I find it to be too bright and odd, and the rest of the outfit is just Ike's normal getup with new black parts/highlights. Roy's outfit is literally just Fjorm's copy and pasted.

    D tier: Alm

    What the hell is this? Alm has a really weird face in the Resp that bothers me a lot. The outfit itself is okay. This is the only Resp I own that I have swapped back.

  5. @Flying Shogi Dang, nice team of fliers. I assume this is your haul from the double special banner? I didn't have orbs to spare on that unfortunately, and my luck was meh too. Caeda erased everything.

    Threw together a team of Shamir, whom I recently gave Deadeye to, and decided to throw in the latest Mythics. Everyone's pretty broken, but I ended up using everyone's gimmicks in cool ways. Could be a Tactics Drill lol.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy What's up with everyone confusing us? Was it the Azura pic you had? It's kinda strange, lol Celica was the star of the show this time, that Repel sustain build is quite the sight to behold and she nuked both Freyja and Triandra like they were some faceless axe guys. Kagero and B!Veronica also had pretty cool moments but Celica's rampage through the map was where I focused all my attention. 

    I guess we both use sword girls and had blue haired avatars, yeah.

    Celica would lose a 1v1 with Freyja here. She needed Binding Necklace to be deactivated and for Veronica to debuff.

  7. @LordFrigid Huh, that was a pretty cool strat. Bless the rock indeed.

    @Diovani Bressan You dinged me instead of Alexmender lol. That was quite the opener. I almost thought you were going to one-turn the map like that, but I guess it wasn't that feasible there. Seteth and Altina's great retreat was entertaining while Marth held down the right side like a trooper. Micaiah cleaned house near the end.

    @Wanda Nice girls as usual. I recently got my hands on LnD4 and Spiral on my Kagero too.

    @Landmaster How are you liking Elise's refine? Were you one of the poor souls who foddered Wrathful instead of Dazzling to her lol? That looked rough for the Elises, especially turn 5. I'm impressed that Elise ORKOed Freyja without problem, though.

    @Maaka RIP Freyja, destroyed by Astra. That was a nice showcase of broken Duo Skills. The Duo-less one was cool too. LLeif is so versatile.

    @Sasori Ooh, the kids with mom this time. I keep forgetting Raigh has horseslaying.

    @Alexmender Eirika did her thing as usual. Spendthrift Norne is so good, but I haven't invested in her at all yet because no Spendthrift. Lyn did a lot of heavy lifting, though. I was wondering if you were going to have Tsubasa kill Freyja in the last one, but Eirika got it.

    @daisy jane The CYL girls turned up. Kinda amusing that BLysi is on Freyja's debut banner and is a hard counter to her shenanigans.

    Very late because all the gachas decided to dish out the content the exact same time/

    Freyja's everything and Triandra's Miracle gave me some grief at first, but as I played along with the rest of the map it kinda just worked out.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy - I figured Miss Omnicidal would make this battle much easier. Especially when paired with her Brave Self. Hrid’s thiccness came in pretty useful here, as did Veronica’s healing. Team worked pretty well together.

    Having a delete button was definitely helpful.

    Looks like it was a struggle for you too, even with Duofonse. Pretty annoying that LEirika survived him with 1 HP lol. Poor green mage got boxed in by Veronica and Sharena.

  9. @Maaka These Ninja weapons are great for one-turning, huh? Did you get a Zihark to give the sword to S!Bartre?

    @Diovani Bressan Saizo and Leif doing their thing. Not even DFang was trouble.

    @Flying Shogi Nice theme team. Roy didn't get to do much, which I guess is accurate lol.

    @Sasori Damn, VTitania. Talk about rare units. It was kinda surprising and amusing that Tobin wasn't able to ORKO that green archer.

    Here's mine. Just took some new units out for a spin again. I'm planning on +10ing Hana.

     

  10. @Maaka Oh, nice use of Hel. Her gimmick was pretty helpful.

    @NSSKG151 Even with only 2/3 Annas, there's no problems here. OG Anna was able to do a lot better on Enemy Phase than I would've expected.

    I put this one off until the last day and then put off on posting here (again). This one was kinda troublesome for me, and ended up taking 7 minutes.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy I certainly was not expecting to see Celica tanking stuff. Thought she was going to be galeforcing as usual, but I forgot how amazing she is at simply destroying stuff. Kagero did quite a bit of work as well. Panicking Dimitri was a great strategy. Very nice clear!

    Celica is definitely quite flexible now with her Prf.

    Guard weapons are definitely annoying. I guess they want to try and limit Galeforce and other sweeping strats? Good that you figured it out, though. Was quite impressed with Bartre naturally doubling Dimitri.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy Maybe I just don't remember but that's a lot of premium skills on Celica. Kagero shredded through that armored unit and Dimitri as well. Great clear!

    Yeah, I inherited these skills onto her earlier this month actually. Same for Kagero's LnD4 and Spiral.

    Honorary Anna Jill joins, I see. She took care of Dimitri easily. Poor Commander Anna didn't have much to do, but her New Year self was pretty strong as usual. She's as tanky as a Repel user without having any damage reduction.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy - I guess Celica just ate all the new toys. She works wonders in both phases. I wasn’t expecting her to be that fast. Panic Smoke made Dimtri much easier to deal with. I thought the Gravity was probably used for him but Kagero too stronk.

    I brought Nanna for Gravity at first, thinking to use that on Dimitri, but he would approach too fast for it to work, and there's not enough space to run away unlike the FCorrin map. Eventually figured I needed Restore+, which Nanna has.

    The Elises handled this pretty well. Didn't expect Dimitri to go down so easily, but he did.

  12. @Xenomata Mhmm +10 Celica, fellow person of culture. Don't exactly see Legion around a lot either, so that's nice. Very strong rushdown on turn 1, but the map forced you back a bit, not that it stopped you. Tiki and Ninian one-shotting Dimitri was a bit unexpected.... then again, +34 Atk. Their lines are cute.

    @Some Jerk Seth and LMarth are pretty good cheerleaders for Nino. She nuked them all.

    @Alexmender Ooh, Joint Drive. And Dull Close is new too? Also a very offensive turn 1. Looks like the Pain+ helped more than it hurt by enabling WoM easily. Eirika did the heavy lifting vs Dimitri and then let Hilda take the kill, which is pretty in character. I'm sure Hilda was gloating about that. Tsubasa seemed more passive overall this time.

    @LordFrigid Wow, what an interesting lineup. Seth of all people. And WSothis too. That TA was definitely very necessary against Dimitri lol.

    @Sasori Their babysitter sure changes frequently. I guess they must be a handful lol. They were definitely a handful for the enemy, though. It's interesting to see how Lugh and Chad are built around sustain, while Raigh removes threats on Player Phase. Was quite surprised to see Seliph steal the boss kill.

    Nice Resplendent Roy too. Titania tanked and gave Lilina the firepower she needed to demolish from the backlines. Seliph held out well on his own on the right side. That was a really close call with Titania vs Dimitri. He sure hits like a truck.

    @Diovani Bressan HTiki sure is useful. I was wondering if you were going to bust out Duo Alm, but YMerric is definitely a great answer to Dimitri. He swept everyone up just fine with help from his friends.

    @Flying Shogi Oh, that's pretty neat that you managed to clear before all reinforcements spawned. When I did Celica sweeps I always ended up killing every single enemy.

    @DLNarshen @mcsilas @Landmaster

    Alright, another Abyssal, time to put my team together... Kagero has a bunch of new toys that will be useful, and I need Nanna for Restore+... good ol' LAzura... wait, Celica wha-

    I'm not entirely sure how much easier/harder it would've been if I used the normal set on her, but I wanted to win with this, and the nature of the map meant EP was good anyway.

    @SatsumaFSoysoy

    Can I trouble you for your opinion on +Atk vs +Spd for Brave Celica?

    I'm overall a proponent of +Spd. I think if you just wanted her as an AA option +Atk makes her a bit more consistent vs Arena green threats like Edels and Surtrs.

    +Spd is superior if you want to try using her in AR, which I do on Astra. She is 1 point of Spd faster than Mareeta after factoring weapons, so she is actually a pretty good Spurn user, especially with the built-in Mystic Boost for a lot of sustain. She does pretty well with DC Spurn/NFU Time Pulse/Pulse Smoke. If you also want to field her in AR Defense, in which she is quite good I think, the Spd is good too since Spd stacking is common and easy on offense.

    For PvE if your Celica doesn't have SS3/AS Push 4 you could potentially fail to quad stuff in Abyssals, which could be a problem if the map has a bulky peg or dragon. With either of those As though she kinda quads the whole game anyway so +Atk is fine.

  14. @Maaka RIP Fir. Nice set on SFir, though, especially the Rein.

    @Diovani Bressan Huh, that's certainly an unorthodox team for a one-turn clear, but it worked beautifully. I guess you could've gone without WoM on LLuci by Future Visioning on HNowi instead, but not that that changes much.

    @Flying Shogi Nice Xane. I ended up deciding to not go for him. I actually didn't expect him to still get doubled by Bernie lol. Didn't you kinda help her out by casting Ruse on her? Idunn cleaned up for him though so it was all good.

    @Sasori The brothers, their friend, and their new caretaker? Minty Cane + Mystic Boost sustain is so good.

    @Landmaster Elises roll over another one of these. None of these cinnamon rolls would really want to EP Bernie, so going to the left was the natural choice. I'm surprised the last mage cav didn't go for one of the Elises over Mirabillis.

    Here's mine. Not much to see except my Sophia.

     

  15. Honestly, most of the time current IS (3DS era to now) comes up with pretty good ideas overall, they just suck ass at executing most of them properly. The example I always use is Laevatein, who is literally the kind of character whose character arc writes itself, yet Laeva still ended up with no development at all because IS just didn't execute.

    With Book 4 they're actually playing out some of the ideas they probably had so that the fairies actually have some backstory and things are actually changing for Alfonse and Sharena, but it's possible that all of it will get cut short again like how Lif and Thrasir just fizzled out after an honestly pretty strong twist in Book 3, so I'm not expecting much but wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised. I feel like they're still using exposition to tell us everything in Book 4 instead of showing things, like how Frejya tends to just flat out explain everything such as the fairies' stories instead of something like a flashback.
