mcsilas

She has high Attack, but her Defense/Speed ain't tat great. Pretty much just need to play her like my Sanaki, red player phase glass cannon. I would have preferred her father though haha Also wow, Nowi in the banner, nice surprise when I randomly guessed she would be good for the GHB.

Main account pull had 4 blues- nothing outstanding (Oboro, Florina, and 2 M!Robins). Both Robins were neutral, but at least tehy're better than my -Atk 4 star Robin, so will be training one and using the other for skills. Second account, I've just pulled blue orbs then skipped sessions after they were gone, since I needed a blue 5 star.When there were no blue orbs, I was forced to pull a red orb: After that was a Jagen which I didn't have. After that....

Probably the fastest I've ever cleared a GHB, which is a good way to end a bad day Went to do the Lunatic missions straight away. Lost about 2-5 times but managed to work how to move around after trial and error. Main account I used 5* Sharena, 4* Tharja, 4* Olivia and 4* Nino- all lv 40 Second account I used 5* Sanaki, 4* Olivia, 4* Nowi and 4* Nino (lv 39, everyone else was lv40) Nino MVP with her Draw Back skill saving Olivia after Olivia dances Sanaki/Tharja. Nowi/Sharena rallies also helped with Nino. Not bad for vanilla units :)

I had better luck on my tablet- got 2 5 stars!!! +Spd/-Res Lillina and +def/-Atk Reinhardt (cry) well at least I finally have a blue 5 star for my second account

Had a pull of 4 blue orbs... 3 star oboro and florina. Add to the pile. next one is M robin! Finally i can replace my -Atk Robin! 3 star and neutral, not bad... last blue orb...another Robin! And another Neutral one... Oh well i guess it will be for the inherit skill pile. last orb was a bad natured Nino. at least i'll take the neutral Robin since my -Atk one really sucked. Not too bad. Also clwared Zephiel pretty fast so not too bad after a meh day!

From my experience, Catria is a good melee attacker. Her Armored Blow + Seal Attack makes her great at player phase and softening up units she can't kill. Killer Lance + Luna is always fun. But yeah you can always just change Seal Attack to something with a more immediate effect.

Argh, lost halfway through a streak because the Klein I fought had Seal Attack when I fought him with Sharena, so Sharena couldn't KO after a Dance. That's one way to punish melee attackers... :(

Knights and mages huh? I wonder if Oboro would do okay in this map. She has better resistance than other infantry lancers, and has Heavy Lance (or I was thinking of changing it to Sapphire Lance plus giving her Swap) Although mine's just 3 star, I wanna see if she can be a pseudo-Subaki in this GHB...

Ouch. This is why i'm hesitant to sacrifice units i don't have duplicates of.. Speaking of, which is a better Est to train to lv35+? The neutral one or a -def/+res one? And in my other account it's either the neutral vs a -hp/+def (although have a feeling neutral one is better in this case(. Just don't wanna waste my stamina levelling up the wrong one.. actually speaking of, are there any units that prefer being neutral (besides -Atk units)? Maybe units with a balance in defenses that don't appreciate loss of bulk, but don't want loss in speed/attack as well?

If you somehow don't have fliers, there's the new Whitewings quests as well! They've been generous with getting the sisters too! And more orbs yay!

Vampire Leo (Halloween event) Leo with fangs and a vampire cape with the collar inside-out. His horse has vampire fangs. Weapon: Tomato Tome+ (restores 4 HP after attacking). Red tome that summons tomato plants from the ground (complete with tomatoes) to attack the enemy. Assist: Ardent Sacrifice. (Leo shared the beauty and nutrition of tomatoes to his teammates) Special: Lifetaker (4 charge. Heals half HP after battle) C skill- Vampiric Breath- Allies within a 2 tile radius heal 7 HP after attacking. basically Leo with more HP, Speed and less Defense, and focusing on healing himself and others. Candy Cane Elise (Christmas event) Elise with a Christmas Cane theme costume, her hairly swirly thingies are red and white with bells on the end, making her hair look a lot more festive. Her horse has reindeer ears and a red nose. Weapon: Candy Cane staff (restores 50% HP to user after healing). Candy cane shaped staff that's based on the Candy Cane in Fates. Assist: Rehabilitate Special: Miracle (a Christmas miracle!) C Skill- Staff Experience (stave users get double experience if this unit survives) Elise will slightly less Attack and Def, more HP, Res and Speed. Horse + Rehabilitate + Staff Exp makes her a great training healer edit: Also @Anacybele i actually Drumstick with an ice cream brand here (ice creame cone pretty much) so somehow that image fits the summer theme for Ike even more for me haha

I hate that tree map with a passion. Had to verse a team of Robin, Olivia, Ryoma and Jeorge...the fact that Olivia was in slot 2 between Ryoma and Robin was really bad no matter what my team arrangement was. Those trees really stuff up my Gunter + Ursula core. Then I forgot Ryoma had Vantage- it all went downhill from there. That was the last win I needed for a streak as well....

Glad I didn't get rid of my -Atk Hinoka! :D Also I've been training Cherche as well so this has good synergy with the new quests!

Yeah I'm gonna grind a bit more SP on Reinhardt anyway so I can use Dire Thunder straight away if/when I promote him. Right now Sharena takes precedence since bonus unit and all. Then I have enough feathers for 2 more promotions (1 of them probably a +Spd Tharja, the other I'm thinking of is a +Atk/-Def Nino but she's 3 star at the moment so that needs 2,200 feathers). That or an Eirika with +Spd/-Def, but I'm not exactly sure what the best nature for her is yet. I'll see how Sharena goes though as the blue unit first. I've got an Ursula I've been using before Reinhardt anyway if I need a cavalry blue tome user (but she needs Gunter support). Speaking of, the Gunter bonus unit was really good for me. Got my highest score of 4,483 thanks to the Arena changes and currently ranked 48,041. Had my most defense teams this week as well, with 3 using an Able/Gunter/Ursula/Frederick team. Not bad for no 5 stars in a Defense team,

I don't think they'll do Fem!Corrin since she was a giveaway for the Android users recently. Instead, maybe Nowi could be likely. It would be likely that there would be ranged units in the GHB, and Nowi deals with those with her 2-range Breath and has great defense for battling against Zephiel himself while hitting his Res.

What are your other 4* units anyway? I definitely think you need a dancer/singer. If you don't have Azura/Ninian, Olivia will do. It will really help with Effie and her movement problem. You can probably replace Jeorge/Merric for Olivia- Jeorge/Merric's usefulness is when they have their specific 5* weapons. Parthia gives Jeorge Res to battle mages better while Merric's Excalibur makes him effective against fliers. Actually, if you do promote Merric, then Jeorge can probably go since Merric will deal with the fliers (except red ones which are....Palla and Caeda who Effie can deal with anyway). I think you have way more than enough orbs to do a pull anyway, maybe you'll get a 5 star so you don't need to promote anyone yet. Maybe a better red than Seliph. If you do end up with a focus units, then you great, you get bonus points for arena! If you get a different 5 star, that works, too. Maybe try 1 or 2 pulls, up to you how much you want to spend. As for skills, you can go to the Skill Inheritance thread for more help since a lot of knowledgable people can help you out.

@phineas81707 In this post. (Also the Arena thread) I think they announce it on the Japanese twitter a few days early before the arena update.

I guess I'll just promote my lv 32 4* Sharena now just to I can quickly level her up with her unique weapon (I've got enough SP now anyway) @Thor Odinson Also, the Reinhardt discussion is reaaaaally tempting me to promote my only 4* one but he is -HP/+Res. I know the min-maxer in me is telling me not to promote a unit unless he has a great nature (or +Atk in this case), but it's so tempting haha. Still a great Player Phase unit but the Dire Thunder sounds so good and I don't have any orbs to hunt for another Reinhardt (only 1 Lunatic mission left for an orb...)

Actually, I'm wondering if/when Nosferatu comes to Heroes, would Odin make good use of it with his bulk? I'll assume it would work like Absorb, but just have more might. Although Odin has poor Attack anyway so I don't think it would be broken on him... @Vaximillian Not necessarily, bonus units sometimes are random and don't have to be from a banner (ex. Odin during the first Sibling Bonds Arena bonus). I think Cecilia (and Sharena) are chances for f2p players to have a bonus units since everyone will have those girls (if they did the free Cecilia missions). Well Virion too I guess, That said Cherche huh? Time to train mine up! (There's something fitting about her and Virion being bonus characters together)

Yeah Escape Route can work, that was Ninina's niche before skill inheritance. At least you can have someone with half health use Reciprocal Aid on Azura or something. Otherwise maybe Renewal if you don't have Escape Route for now. Or a breaker skill like Lancebreaker so lancers can't double you and you can maybe KO them.

Definitely Wings of Mercy for B skill, so she can teleport to an injured unit and let them move again with Sing. Maybe Moonbow could be an all around special. HP+5 and Speed +3 could be options for A slot to help survivability, and simlarly, HP+3 or Speed +1 Sacred skills. Her HP is low so any HP added helps. That said, I don't have an Azura either so I'm just theorycrafting. As someone who has gone against Azuras a lot, i hated it when I only have a red unit left against Azura with a Sapphire Lance because sometimes i can't even deal any damage at all to her. So default Sapphire Lance works for her.

Dancers/singers are meant to survive as much as possible so I don't think dropping her speed by 5 with a Brave Lance is a good idea. That and Brave Lance's double effect is only on player phase anyway where you should be singing. Sapphire Lance at least has the benefit of raising her defenses against the more powerful sword users. You don't her near axes anyway so the drop in defense agains greens shouldn't be that big of an issue. if you HAD to change her lance for some reason, maybe a Killer Lance with Escutcheon/Sacred Cowl for quick defensive skill activation? Or even Draconic Aura since she has good offense that she can proc when she is being attacked in melee. Or Moonbow.

Oh fair enough, I haven't ventured outside this forum before. Also if Awakening is involved for an event Gaius has to be in the Halloween one and somehow Awakeninng characters will have pie weapons with the amount of pie supports... Anyway back to more related topic @Rapha666br how about Darting Blow for your Jakob? He doesn't exactly have the best speed so this could bump it up to double more units.

Camilla has the egg. Maybe Elise can use her Candy Cane Staff from Fates for Trick or treat/Christmas theme also fftf?

Are you Filipino? :O If the tomato is a tome and has Bryhindlr's 'roots' animation it can still work. heh. Tome-ato. and he can fight against Spring Xander and his Carrot Lance.
