My current team (Eliwood, LA Hector, BH Lyn, and WT Reinhardt) absolutely rips through Lunatic 7... assuming I'm playing. The AI, on the other hand, sends them running into death. Which is normal for auto-battle, but I'm talking about the AI being actively suicidal. I'm actually finding these maps more difficult than last time as far as auto-battling is concerned; I could run my previous team through Lunatic 5 on auto-battle and only hit 'You Lose' on the last map about 1/15 times. Now the AI is struggling to reliably get through freaking hard mode. I keep rearranging the team, with WT Reinhardt as the only constant. Hopefully I can find one that can actually clear the last map on Lunatic 5. :/ I'm still in the process of building Cavalry Emblem, so that's a no-go-- Oh. As I was typing this, a team of WT Reinhardt, Fjorm, Myrrh, and BH Lyn just made it through. But considering only Myrrh was left by then end, and then only at 8 HP, it was a pretty dicey win that probably happened due to sheer dumb luck. I mean, I'm running them through again as I type and they lost BH Lyn on the first map. Good lord, people, what are you even doing. What do you want from me. ...Fjorm dead on the fourth map, leaving only Myrrh and Reinhardt for the last map and-- yep, they're dead without making a dent in the other team unless you count doing some damage to Lon'qu. That's it. >:( Back at it... EDIT: Okay, I should probably build up a staff user. I was just pity-broken by Genny, so I'll go with her.

Update! The star in the brackets is the original rarity of the unit. Total: 160 That's not counting the merges or the sacrifices. I've raised a total of 19 units from lower rarities, though two of those were solely for skill inheritance. And I'm still bitter about missing out on LA!Eliwood due to taking a break from the game and coming back just in time to pull Hector and Lilina but not complete enough of the Tempest Trial to snag him. Please bring him back, IS, even if it's as a Black Knight-esque package. I want LA!Eliwood so badly.

Feather Cost: 240,000 Unit Cost: 3★ x1, 4★ x4, 5★ x1 SP Cost: 4,450 Arena Medal Cost: 375+ Divine Dew Cost: 150 220,000 feathers were used to get this boy up to 5★+10, plus another 20,000 to promote Cordelia to 5★ so I could sacrifice her to give him Galeforce. I sacrificed 3★ Barst for Reposition, 4★ Shanna for Desperation, 4★ Sothe for Life and Death, 4★ Camilla for Draconic Aura (learned but currently unused) and 4★ Olivia for Hone Atk. He also has Ward Cavalry learned for when he's on my in-progress cavalry team. Not Listed: The Refining Stone costs, because I had to randomly refine a few normal weapons to get enough Divine Dew for Blazing Durandal, but I have no idea how much that cost me. I think I had to refine only two or three weapons to get enough Divine Dew, though. There were also the crystal costs to get his 4★ copies up to Lv 20 because I just did not have the energy to painstakingly level every unit personally. I gotta say, he performs really well. All the effort was 100% worth it.

M!Grima did a solo clear of this map. I'm very proud of myself, because I am usually terrible at this game. [FEH] Grand Hero Battle: Robin (Infernal) ...How do you embed a YouTube video? The usual HTML method does not work here (or, at least, not for me).

Quick question: Does Bold Fighter's cooldown charge +1 only work if the player initiates the attack, or does it work on both phases? (I know that the follow-up attack only works on player phase.) For reference: Bold Fighter 3: If unit initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack. (Does not stack.)

@Poimagic @Chrom-ulent @Ice Dragon Thank you all very much for all the advice! I will proceed building a vicious Hector to wreak havoc. Thanks again!

I have two Hectors and I'm debating which to build. The first is +ATK / -RES and the other is +DEF / -SPD. Leaning toward +DEF even though it hurts me to give up extra damage, solely because I don't want to lose any points in RES. Also, which weapon would be better for him -- Armads or Berserk Armads? I'm thinking Berserk Armads but, as previously mentioned, I am bad at this. The build I want is this: ◉ Armads / Berserk Armads ☗ Swap ▶ Aether A: Distant Counter B: Wary Fighter 3 C: Goad Armor S: Quick Riposte 3 Thanks!

HE IS COMPLETE. I sacrificed so many 4★ units to get the feathers for that last merge and I regret nothing.

Well now I'm just sad. :( Thanks, though.

Have TT units ever been brought back? Because I missed out on LA!Eliwood and I'm really hoping I get another chance at him.

Lunatic story orbs got me one more pull. A single red orb. Let's see what I get... Finally. Check his stats... +ATK / -SPD ...Well, I'm pretty sure I'm done with this banner. I might try for Leif, but I doubt it. I wanted the siblings and I got them, so I'm happy.

Red orbs are frickin' scarce this go around! I've had four draws in a row with zero reds. That's pretty bad. Anyway, after ~80 orbs: +HP/-RES I wanted her brother, but hey, I'll take it. Of course, I'm out of my hard-earned orbs now, so I'll have to do some quests and/or wait until the Trial starts.

Free pull on the new banner. Only one green orb! Surely it's meant to be--! 4★ Cherche. I am still waiting for the fabled free 5★ pull that I've heard so much about.

I love you. Thank you so, so much for your continued hard work!

Congrats! I hope a +DEF/-RES Frederick comes home to you soon!

I'm not really interested in this banner, so I gave the free pull a try. One blue orb appeared and I went for it, hoping for Nephenee... 4★ Sully. No thanks. Pass on this banner.

@XRay Oh my goodness, thank you for all of this! That's a lot of information you've poured out for me and I really appreciate it. I'll be reworking Eliwood accordingly, although I may test out Blazing Durandal + Galeforce just for fun. (An Effie with Galeforce gave me a nasty surprise recently so I kind of want to turn the tables.) So far I've been running Eliwood alongside Hector and Lyn in the Arena and he's been surprisingly solid considering Life and Death 3 is paring down his defenses.

Okay, I need help with my Eliwood build. He's +SPD / -RES; I want +ATK for Blazing Durandal but I haven't yet pulled a +ATK Eliwood that isn't -SPD. +SPD is working out for him pretty well so far with doubling, though. ANYWAY. Eliwood [+SPD / -RES] ◉ Blazing Durandal ☗ Reposition ▶ Draconic Aura A: Life and Death 3 B: Vantage 3 C: Atk Tactic / Goad Cavalry S: Attack +3 For the visually-inclined: Atk Tactic is for when he's on my mixed-movement Blazing Sword team (Eliwood, Brave Lyn, LA Hector, Infantry Unit) although I'm not sure Hector would ever forgive him for sacrificing his little girl. Goad Cavalry is obviously for when Eliwood's on my cavalry team. Now, as much as I'd love Atk Tactic, it is expensive as hell and I only have one LA Lilina. I don't really want to sacrifice her. What would be a good alternative C skill? Additionally, I'm considering swapping out Draconic Aura for Galeforce. Thoughts?

Ahhh, sorry about that! I didn't even think. Will do for next time. And again, thank you!

@mampfoid Sorry for the late response! Things have been busy so my computer has been neglected. I really, really appreciate all the advice about the mechanics. I'm still not good at thinking about the synergy of teams, so this is really helpful. I swear I'm trying to improve. P.S. I decided to go with Eliwood on my Horse Emblem team for now purely because he's awesome and I haven't played Binding Blade yet so I don't yet have an opinion on Roy, but if he's anything his dad I'm going to love him so we'll see how he works out on my Horse Emblem team. Gonna +10 him regardless though. I'm replaying Blazing Sword in preparation for Binding Blade and it's just reinforcing how much I love Eliwood. Also Hector and Lyn. Blazing Sword has such good characters.

@Poimagic Thanks for your input! I honestly loathe Fury's damage cost. Maybe I'm just not good enough to make proper use of it. I'll give it a shot, though. @XRay I really appreciate the time you took to analyze my team. Yes, I did plan to stay with Brave Lance+ Cordelia, so I'll take your advice and do a +ATK build instead. As for Cherche, I see your point about Aether, and I'll try Moonbow on her as per your suggestion for its quick cooldown. I might eventually go with Ignis based on need, but like you said, if it requires Ignis to kill then it's probably an enemy best left to someone else. :) Thanks again!

I'm here with another team-building advice request. I'm building a physical Flier Emblem team this time and I'm hoping for some input as to the choices I've made here. For those of you who prefer to read text: For those of you who are more visually inclined:

Thanks! I seriously should. A pity I live so freaking far from the nearest store. As much as I love living in the country, I sometimes miss the ability to just walk to places in a reasonable time span. And do I really feel like changing out of my pajamas just for millions of dollars...?

Why do I lie to myself and everyone else. I buckled and bought some orbs. I have, however, been incredibly lucky with them. Within 50 orbs, I have obtained: 1. Spring Xander [+RES / -SPD] 2. Nowi [+ATK / -HP] 3. Eirika [+DEF / -SPD] 4. Spring Lucina [+RES / -SPD] 5. Spring Lucina [NEUTRAL] 6. Spring Chrom [+DEF / -HP] 7. Spring Camilla [+ATK / -HP] I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead.

My free pull presented me with two colourless orbs and three red ones. Great. Ended up with 4★ Stahl. Great. I really want Spring!Lucina, but not badly enough to buy orbs for her. I've already run myself dry of orbs on the Legendary banner, so looks like my spring daughter will have to be passed on. If I save up enough orbs before the banner's done, I may try again.
