Zelgius

So the team I'm using to clear the tempest runs consists of: Mae, Zephiel, Hector, and Maria. Z&H are the DC builds, while Mae is a desperation build. Maria is pretty standard healer build. I forgot how fun it is to use Zephiel.

I got round to promoting the three starter units and having used Alphonse for the first time through this arena week I would say he performs well once built right. My build is BS+, Reposition, Dragonic Aura, DB3, SwordBreaker 3, and Spur Atk 3. I have to say out of the three Askr heroes he's the one I have the most fun using.

It's good to see someone making Echoes hacks - the scene seems to be a little bare compared to what we've seen with Awakening and Fates.

I guess a duplicate seal is handy for leaving on preferred builds, though I would like a new type of seal.

I have a Desperation build on my Peri (+spd/-res) I made a while ago, works well with Moonbow and the Killer Lance+. For an A slot I'm using Darting Blow too, but I'm thinking of using Fury instead - L&D is probably better but I don't have the fodder for it.

There's a guy on my friend's list called Quadsuna that has a +10 Sanaki. I'd take a screenshot but I'm not too sure how to do that.

Alfonse is performing very well for me, and does a great job defeating green/red units. Although I won't be able to stay in the tier - the max opponent points I've came across is 698, though most of the time it's around 692/694. The max merged unit I have is Ninian at +4, so I'm OK with just floating around tier 19/20. It's actually alot of fun using Alfonse.

So I accomplished my goal of saving up 60k of feathers should there be BK/Zelgius GHB, and I'll be able to get the max merge without delay. So now I'm treating my feathers as that 60k as the baseline - I plan on promoting Xander next but I'll need another 18k feathers for that.

Awakening had my favourite DLC out of all the FE games - I thought it was really fun battling past characters in different scenarios, as well as recruiting old characters (even if they were a little cheaply done). I love the replayability of the DLC as well as interacting with the old characters.

Tomorrow will be my first time using Alfonse as part of my arena team, so I've been testing the team I've but together with him. I'm looking forward to seeing how he performs.

I had about 12 orbs and tried to Elise. I got two colourless orbs which turned out to a four star Maria... and a five star Maria. I actually have three of her now, one is +speed boon so I'll merge into that one.

Finally managed to push to 50k, I'm quite happy to leave it at that since I was getting a little fed up with the grind. The good thing is I also grinded up alot of my lesser used characters SP and hero feathers without even realising it.

I found it useful to clear infernal by doing as much as I could on enemy phase and then finshing the remaining enemies to end the map. Sanaki with Axebreaker 1 is very effective.

So I decided to use 20k feathers to give Alfonse a Brave Sword+ to complete his build. With the next two GHBs revealed, I don't need 20k feathers to promote a potential BK GHB, so I thought why not.

Did a pull with the free orbs and the first unit was Athena (+res/hp). She seems pretty cool, although I'm not too fond of how they drew her eyes.

I love Metroid, so I'm really happy we're getting what looks to be some proper Metroid games. Two titles announced was much more than I was hoping for.

Finally got the 5* Mask Lucina, I'll admit I'm getting a little bored of the grind fest but at least I'm past the halfway point for the final seal but I'll probably slow down now to not get too bored.

I think it depends on how flexible the class choices are. If there is a set class route for a character, then I don't see why not - even the likely DLC classes should have portraits since you're playing money for them. But there is a class route similar to Awakening, where a character could be almost any class, then it becomes less likely - the developers would have much more work to do and they know they can get away with not bothering.

This is true - Lombroso does call him a 'has-been' and we know he'd been around for a while in his second Begnion run.

I called mine Wo Dao and let Deen carry it.

Sanaki, Cecilia, Reinhardt and Ninian. I find that having an anti-mage that is either green or blue really helps with the final map in order to take out the mage on the east side of the map.

I had 6 orbs and thought 'why not, I'll try for Lucina'. Of course I had no belief I would actually pull her with only 1 red orb and flat 3% rate... until her cutscene showed up! She's (+att/-hp).

Nice work Kirokan, thanks for doing this. Interesting that Zelgius went from Begnion to Daein, then back to Begnion again. You'd think some of the Begnion nobles/higher officers would mention this when discussing him, of even Daein higher ups might recognise his voice/mannerisms when he returned as the BK. It's briefly mention by Zelgius in Sephiran's memory, when Zelgius talks about his past.

This is great for grinding hero feathers, I got alot of feathers without even realising how much HM I was grinding.

I'm half way to getting the 5* Masked Lucina, I don't think I'll bother to past 50,000 though.
