So I was randomly thinking about the Fates Diviners because they use Scrolls instead of the normal elemental tomes, so here's my attempt: Name: Orochi Orb Affinity: Red Tome Weapon: Snake Spirit+, 8 Might, Attacks twice in player phase but inflicts Spd -5 (well because her name is reminiscent of a Japanese mythical serpent) Special: Glimmer (seems like it fits her fortune-telling theme, namewise at least) B skill: G Tomebreaker C skill: Threaten Res HP (low) ATK (very high) SPD (low) DEF (med) RES (high) - So a regular Brave Red Tome (because Snake Spirit is the Brave Scroll in Fates- balance be damned!). - G Tomebreaker so there are more users to Skill Inherit and to counter Ninos - Slow cannon but can provide team support with Threaten Res. Name: Hayato Orb Affinity: Green Tome (Wind Tribe = Wind magic = Green tome) Weapon: Bird Spirit+, 13 Might, Grant Speed+5 when attacking (Again, Birds = Wind) Special: Growing Wind (Wind Tribe) A Skill: Defiant Attack (fits his personality and personal skill Pride in Fates) B Skill: Windsweep HP (upper med) ATK (med) SPD (upper med) DEF (med) RES (lower mid) - more balanced Green mage with low res. Kind of like a mini-Merric but not as bulky and slightly higher attack and res. - Darting Blow weapon, and Defiant Attack makes him a more player phase unit. - Windsweep because Wind Tribe and also to do chip damage against bows and shurikens.

So that still counts as a lancer Lucina? Haha Great lord Lancer Lucina would be likely actually with the butterfly shield. If not maybe Pegasus Knight for Sumia semi-canon? watch her have Galeforce since that was what Awakening was lol

What's a better spread for Nino? I've got a +Atk/-Def up to level 40 4 star (with 1000 SP waiting to be used), while I also have a 3 star +Atk/-Res although just level 1. Unfortunately I don't exactly have a +Spd one, but I'm just wondering which one is better to feather up to 5 star eventually. How much better is +Atk compared to +Spd anyway? Are there any specific skills she should to make up for the lack of +Spd? ----- Also speaking of cavalry teams, I upgraded Xander and am thinking of what C skill to give him. I'm guessing Eliwood's skill? I don't think he wants Gunter's Hone Cavalry since he wants the Hone Cavalry buff instead. Pretty much just asking advice what C skills fits best for the cavalry units. I also have an upgraded Reinhardt, a Frederick (who may be getting Gunter's Hone Cavalry), a 4 star vanilla Ursula and 4 star +1 Abel as options. I guess Xander can replace Abel now so I have red sword user- unless I replace Ursula since she doesn't have Blarblade yet and I have Reinhardt. So I guess: Xander - Ward Cavalry? Reinhardt - Goad Cavalry Frederick - Hone Cavalry Ursula/Abel - Fortify Cavalry? Or extra Hone Cavalry (maybe works better on Ursula since she's behind the front lines?) Basically just trying to clarify if Hone/Fortify/Ward is better on melee users vs ranged users Hmm actually when Camus comes maybe he can be the fourth slot...

On the plus side at least training the 5 stars i've gotten while hunting for Hero Fest will be easier. (Ironically just finished training Hector a day before this. Still sad about none of the other focus units but my next project is training the 5 star Abel/Catriaas a consolation) Just upgraded my Xanders and a Reinhardt so getting them to max level should be quicker at least. I want to demolish things sooner! and yay Orb bonus again! Good thing for those of us who completely exhausted our supply trying to hunt the hero fest units

Ugh, so I managed to get some orbs from quests to do 1 final 5 orb summon for the Hero Fest... only my finger pressed the summon too quickly and clicked on the Battling Xander banner.... >.> Just a 3 star Lissa...I guess she can be Renewal fodder in the future among my other Lissas... The Hero Fest percentage was pretty added to a decent rate too

Did they announce when they would add them? i was banking on the last day of free orbs to do a last resort summon for Azura but now maybe i think i should wait if a gold orb is soon?

So using the last of my orbs in the hunt for Azura... Got a 5 star Catria and Peri instead :O Add to that the Abel I got earlier in the week and it's safe to say I have enough 5 star lance units in my second account. Catria was an interesting surprise since my 4 star one is level 38 and was about to finish training her off. Not anymore I guess, although the 5 star one is -Spd/+HP but I'll work around it

You don't need to feather Nino up to 4* to get Gronnblade- she can access it as a 3* Also quick question, how good would Vantage be on Xander? I've seen Quick Riposte seems to be the go to B skill but is there a reason Vantage isn't used, compared to say, Ryoma? Also what other A skills would be good for Xadner- since I don't really have Death Blow or Fury fodder. Attack+3 or Speed +3 I guess? Or maybe Def+3 if it stacks with Bonfire?

Just managed to get Zephiel to level 40 now actually (as a 4 star to prepare for armour quest/try him out in exchange for Hana in the arena). He gets things done once you get used to the 1 move. Wary Fighter is so useful on him. I'm tempted to 5 star him for his weapon but I was already planning to 5 star Xander for the next arena character change. Plus, levelling him up all the way to 40 again is gonna take long (and I would miss the bonus character chance) If I have more feathers to spare one day I'll upgrade him. (So far have a lv 40 Effie, lv 39 Sheena and him- just need to upgrade/train a Draug/Gwendolyn and I'll be ready to tackle the death armour quest) Actually, has anyone have experience of doing multiple Effies in the armour quest? I do actually have a spare Effie but she's like level 8 for now, but she's better offensively and easier to train than Gwendolyn. edit: Regarding Benny talk, ah the good old crazy days of reclassing him as a Butler with Wary Fighter after marrying Effie. That was the weirdest, defensive butler I've used but the Tomebreaker skill was worth it.

I have the same Maria, too :O Yeah always satisfying to box in healers/ranged units for the kill

Maybe they really want to do an old man team

Tellius: Kieran, Geoffrey, Boyd, Ranulf, Janaff, Tibarn, Tormod, Sothe, Edward, Jill, Haar, Marcia, Aran, Callil Ylisse: Brady, Owain, Gerome, Noire, Cynthia, Morgan, Gregor, Miriel, Maribelle, Aversa, Anna Fates: Silas, Scarlet, Kaze, Benny, Keaton, Reina, Shura, Shiro, Nina, Ophelia, Forrest, Velouria I mean I know it's a long list but I'll be happy with any of those, unlikely as some may be

He believes in love. i saw someone with a 5 star Wrys once. i was actually tempted to 5 star him before skill inheritance because he was just that good at healing and pulled me through so many times with Heavenly Light and Live to Serve

For the cavalry boosting skills? You only need 4 star. my gunter and eliwood just sit out of range next to Ursula/Reinhardt or Abel/Frederick while they wreck teams. Sometimes if there is an axe that Eliwood can kill, he just goes in with his Axe-breaker despite not having his Durandal i just wish there is a cavalry dancer for these quests haha

Most hype where i was actually physically celebrating was pulling Hector earlier this week. The victory dance/yell lasted for few minutes. It also helped i pulled Minerva first thing a few summons before Hector. Greatest achievement hype was finally beating Ursula lunatic on the morning of the last day- i didn't even had a lot of time because i was doing consecutive overtime that week and kept failing. Good old Frederick pulled through after finally having enough defense to take nothing from the ninjas, and poor Olivia had 1 HP by the end of it. other clutch moments was last night in Arena when Hana had to quickly kill a Nino with a Ninian behind her. I was expecting Hana to fall to Ninian because she had Life and Death 2, but she surpisingly lived with single digit HP despite weapon triangle disadvantage! another was when i was using Odin as bonus unit in arena. unfortunately Lucina and i think Minerva was down, leaving Odin and Olivia against 3 units (i think Lucina was one of them). I was expecting to lose because Odin kept disappointing me with his Attack but because he was in Defiant Attack range his Blarblade managed to win me the battle thanks to Olivia! I was so impressed since he was deadweight for the arena battles beforehand. also anytime i pull my favourite characters, especially wih a good star rating or boon. I remember being so happy getting someone like Lon'qu or that 5 star Cherche with +Atk. And i guess getting the first 5 star- 2 in one roll with Lyn and Merric! Getting Lucina in my second account was also hype oh and everytime i win the battle with only the healer left- Azama/Lissa being clutch. Also a priscilla who I thought was gonna be deadweight in the last gauntlet

Ogma, Gordin and Raven can make good Brave Weapon fodder at least. Virion's most useful fodder is probably Silver Bow (I think Gordin wants that if i recall correctly). Beruka's Killer Axe is useful for those who like shorter proc skills like Bonfire, etc. I haven't sent anyone home, but I think I'm going to start soon since I only have less than 10 spaces left in my barracks. I'm too much of a collector and now with Skill Inheritance, it's harder for me to get rid of units just in case I pull someone that needs something in the future. At the very last, I'm starting to use units for Skill Inheritance to make space for newer units in the future.

Oh yes this please. That said yeah I don't see any Fates/Awakening characters coming anytime soon. (Kaze, Silas, Scarlet when). Children even more a smaller chance. Unless they do GHB special units like Aversa (need more flying mages) and other Spotpass characters, while Fates can probably have Shura or Flora. I feel they should at least have beast units sometime in this year at least- one could be Laguz while the other set has Taguel, Kitsune and Wolfskin. If they do another Awakening banner, then I'd bet on Sumia and Maribelle at least. Maybe Gregor, Vaike or Kellam. (Although a longshot, Basilio/Flavia would be a nice surprise) and if we do eventually get the kids, for Fates I see the royals having more importance, so Shiro, Forrest, Siegbert and Kiragi. (Although Nina, Ophelia are pretty popular too). I'd love to have Owain for Awakening but I feel the others like Brady, Noire, Cynthia and Gerome should be in, too. Oh I guess Morgan but maybe he/she can be GHB. Maybe they'll have a Christmas Knights banner for a future Voting Gauntlet, so they can release the red/green knight duos sooner than later.

Okay Hana does work when you can give her the right unit to destroy It's very satisfying to see Hana destroy enemy Hectors. Also, I've added Brave Sword and Spur Attack on my second account's Hana- Brave Sword is so satisfying. I did lose my streak though because a Fury Xander proc'd Bonfire against Reinhardt thanks to an enemy Olivia.

True, more variety in healer skills are really needed. Maybe something like, a healing effect that prevents the target unit from being doubled for one turn. Or an effect that adds a delayed healing effect on your target at the end of Enemy phase.

10-4 is really annoying and took me a few tries, but I somehow won it using Ursula, Olivia, Lyn and Sakura. I have to say, that top archer gave me the most trouble in my past attempts. Lyn's Galeforce was a godsend as she deleted units in the top half while Ursula managed the cavaliers on the bottom left. I only just scraped by thanks to Ursula's 3 move points landing her in a safe zone on the left- pretty much all my units huddled on the left side at the last turn as the reinforcements was about to take over. In terms of 10-5, Flier Emblem finally solved it for, since I didn't have many high level lance units (and poor Sharena couldn't deal with Ike). The strat was to use Narcian to deal with the lancer on the right side (and I found, he needs to have no Flier Emblem buffs for an important reason). Palla, Olivia and Hinoka lay waiting on the bottom, until Mist and the lancer started to move. Lancer gets into red HP range after attacking Narcian. This was important so Mist would fly across the right side of the map with her Wings of Mercy skill. This made sure the tree would slow her down in later turnsm and freed up the space on the left side for Palla and Olivia to deal with the Soren/Titania. Narcian kills the lancer and baits Mist until he is low health. After Palla has dealt with the greens, I use Olivia to dance her, using her own Wings of Mercy to teleport between Narcian and Mist. Mist takes too long to be defeated though because of Palla's meh attack and Mist's Miracle skill. Hinoka finally makes a move after the greens are gone, baiting Ike by staying by the stairs. She gets doubled but she manages to survive Ike by 3 HP (thanks to Hinoka being you -Atk/+HP)! She then defeats Mist, and because she was in range of Palla's Goad Fliers skill, with her Brave Lance she finally defeats Ike! Ike was always troublesome for my lancers because he doubles them, so this was a big relief!

Maybe she'll get a new healing skill that also has a Harsh Command effect or maybe something like Heavenly Light but reverses stat debuffs. then maybe have a Panic staff to screw blade users.

Okay cool, nice to know I can save my feathers for now. Hana will just have to be used until Zephiel is levelled up for next week (also for armor quest). i do have many bad Cherches in this account so i've got Pivot covered at least. is there anyone else who would need a Brave Sword+ from Ogma though? I dob't have much Brave Sword fodder so just curious if anyone besides Hana likes Brave Swords. Hinoka buddies!! That mission was one thing Hinoka's bulk can do that Cordelia couldn't.

My alt account has an Attack bane Reinhardt but he still does his job well with Dire Thunder. He just needs to stick to Olivia at all times for me (no Death Blown fodder except Ursula i guess). I haven't used Skill Inheritance on him yet. in fact i'm so impressed with his Dire Thunder i'm considering just upgrading my -HP/+Res one on my main account since Thoron does not do him justice at all. And hey, neutral Attack is better than -Atk!

All my three 4 star Marths are -Atk/+Spd and at least one of them will be useful for my new Hector :D

Nice! I was sort of debating on training her or Zephiel for arena. Mine is 4 star at the moment but I have a -Attack Ogma in the barracks that I could promote and give her Brave Sword+ too. Let me know how an ordinary Brave Sword works (probably won't have sufficient feathers to 5 star Hana though if i upgrade Ogma for her weapon). If a normal Brave Sword is fine then i might just sacrifice Draug (and retrain the free one for Armor Emblem quest). Speaking of bad natured units, I managed to finish the last Lunatic World of Radiance mission using Flier Emblem + Olivia. Hinoka was my lance user for the final map and she was -Atk/+HP, but oh that HP boon helped so much. She lived Ike's attack by just 3 HP, and KOed him back with Brave Lance next turn. Palla was great countering Titania and Soren while Narcian dealt with fake Oscar on the right. He baited the lancer, left fake Oscar with little HP so Most Wings of Mercied to the lancer who was destroyed by Narcian next turn. since Mist was on the right side of the tree, Palla was free to attack Titania and Soren after a few Dances, and when Narcian's HP was low enough from Mist's attacks, Palla teleported to the right to deal with Mist. In the end, she was near Hinoka to give Hinoka the flier emblem boost. I love Wings of Mercy.
