Is there a specific way to build teams for these two game modes? I'm trying to get Orbs from Lunatic Chain Challenges and it's killing me - Arena Assault I can do but these not so much, making me think they need two different mindsets when building teams around them. Do you guys have any general tips please? Thanks in advance!

I'm right there with you, my friend.

I've been spending my Orbs on all Blue, Green and Colourless units (I spent two on Red, but the consensus here seems to be that Seth isn't worth it so I'm thinking of leaving him be - unless that's changed? I'd like a fourth unit for my Horse Emblem team besides Xander, Camus and Cecilia :) I got a 4* Mae and with how the summoning screen went black for a split second I was sure I'd pulled Tana. Darn it. Anyway, I have 17 Orbs right now and I'm hoping I can get three from GHB: Legion and give it another try. Wish me luck! (I also hope that, if we do get another SS banner, it's later on or around for a long time so I can save up my Orbs again.)

Did you catch all that, @Vaximillian? No/ Yes

That's true, but Echoes is new and still on the market so IS has a vested interest in promoting it as much as possible, while Sacred Stones doesn't have that advantage :/ I'd love to be wrong!

How likely is it that we'll get a second SS Banner after this, given how long it took us to get this one? I would love more SS - especially a SS Tempest Trial as someone mentioned earlier - but I don't see how either one can be likely. Heck, Tellius got an actual chapter and SS doesn't even have that! I want to believe that's because there are two Tellius games but it's not, is it?

I have Xander so she won't have to shoulder that particular burden :P That said, I guess I should start looking into other skills for my horseys too inherit, shouldn't I? Thanks!

This and giving Cecilia Gronnblade from a 3* Nino seems the way to go for me. I have a 4* Olivia that I'll tag in in that case (I expected to swap Priscilla out for bonus Arena/ TT units anyway). Thanks! P.S. Olivia being 4* is okay, right? She won't exactly be on the front lines the whole time. That and I plan to get Ninian from the Hero Fest anyway (I really hope Myrrh and Dragon Emblem become things later, along with a "Shield" A Passive to negate Falchion and Naga...)

Oh, I didn't know that, thank you! In that case I'll feed her one of my 3* Ninos (wow, that sounds a lot weirder than I thought it would). If I do give her Gronnblade, I guess I should give Xander Hone Cavalry (and/ or give Camus Fortify Cavalry)? P.S. I just noticed my Jagens are all 3*, so no Fortify Cavalries right away :/

I got a 5* Cecilia from the BHB Banner today (thank you 1.6) which means I now have a 5* Cavalry Unit for each Colour (Camus, Xander and Priscilla, if she counts) and wanted to build a Horse Emblem team. I have a 4* Gunter, Jagen and 3 3* Eliwoods so I can inherit all the Cavalry Passives after promoting the latter (alongside Camus' own Goad Cavalry) and I just wanted to know who should inherit what. P.S. I'm not too fussed about natures (especially since Camus and Xander are one-offs for me) and only have one 5* Nino who I'm currently using (so don't plan on giving Cecilia Gronnblade). Thanks in advance!

This made me laugh more than it had any right to. The bit about having a ton of male protagonists with no male characters is a really good point too. What if the multiplier was a fixed number and dependent on the number of players on each side? To use the finals as an example, Gaius would get higher multipliers than Corrin since she had 7× the supporters. It would (potentially) turn bandwagonning itself into a handicap, prevent popular characters from steamrolling the competition and also the issue of sleeping through higher multipliers. Of course setting boundaries for determining team sizes would be tricky (among other things). Thoughts?

Yeah...I'm guessing Gaius' popularity has taken a nosedive after this Gauntlet xD Having flags left over sucks too :P I hope you get that extra multiplier too, good night 'n good luck!

The predictions show her winning by 2 billion (or 2000 million, depending on your numbering system). How big a difference was Leo expected to have before Gaius won?

And here I thought I was a hoarder. You realise you need to play for 5 hours straight to spend them all, right? But I feel your pain about the terrible wi-fi, I hope you stay connected as long you need to be!

Re. the testing: I've been using S!Corrin almost exclusively and I've often been paired up with a Lv 40 Ike. The third (random, I assume) is usually another red but can be another colour (or colourless) too - just now I got normal Camilla. Have you guys noticed any trends in the colour of your friend units too?

Maybe it biases towards users you've added recently/ via IDs? My Friends' List is full of randoms from the arena and I always get a different team each time, in every Gauntlet thus far.

Team Corrin: I was unranked with 3560 points until last night when I decided to start spending some flags (I had 2600 saved up). My score is now 91670 and my Rank 71632 (total rank 27459).

My score has only just overtaken my number of flags. I think that means I should do the same eventually too :P Off-topic, but: What game does your signature come from @LuxSpes, Disgaea?

So, since Corrin had a 90% lead after Hour 1 Gaius was guaranteed that first multiplier :P And you really put things into perspective, thanks! I was planning to stay up late tomorrow so that thankfully works out for me :P

I'm on Team Corrin with 2400 Flags saved and another 200 from Arena Quests tomorrow. I'm thinking of holding onto them in case we get multipliers after all, otherwise I'll use them at the end tomorrow. By how much does one team need to lead to trigger a multiplier for the other?

That is hilarious. Are they maining a troll Hero?

That is a huge difference and I don't think I've seen something so vast so soon before. It gave me a chuckle, that's for sure. Let's bring it home, Team Corrin(i)!

There's definitely a learning curve to that~ Regarding Corrin vs. Robin, man the yo-yoing is scary...

Team Corrin here! We're so close to overtaking Robin, just 100M!

I've been seeing them too and wow, he's amazing. It makes me wonder if I should save some Orbs to get him from the Hero Fest but I already have a ton of 5* Reds and I really want Ninian...
