  1. Seems the only way to get ridiculously high scores is by merging Mythics, so I'll probably be stuck between 740 - 744 range for a while

    Hmm, alright. And how do blessings work? Do all units need to be blessed for the max score, or only the highest scoring one in each cloumn? Is it better to have one Mythic Hero, or two or even more? And I guess the position of the Mythic Hero within the defense team slots is irrelevant?

    As far as I can tell, blessings do nothing, from looking at the help information when you tap the question mark on the game mode. Doesn't mention anything about blessed heroes. Only specifically Mythics.

    So the highest possible score anyone can get seems to be by merging 4 +10 Mythics

    THIS IS A PRETTY GREAT WAY TO SEE IF WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WORKING

    B!Lucina is just really good with a lot of physical units in general. The Breath refine is pretty insane. It combos particularly well with B!Ike because of his percentile damage reduction giving him so much bulk as to make it difficult to overcome his accelerated QR Aethers.

    Marth can work as a support, but he is strictly inferior to M!Corrin if you're using just one super tank. Still, that versatility can come into play if you're running two tanks on the same team (or even across multiple teams, if you're trying to minimize how many supports you have to build). I think you should be more or less fine stacking it up with B!Lucina, though be wary as it's not always safe to have 2+ supports in proximity.

    Is +Res DC Amelia with Grado Poleaxe refine viable as a super tank? She'd have armor march so I could run her with another armor...

    And since you mention Bike, I summoned one that's +Def... and I do have DC fodder. I don't have special spiral but would it still be worthwhile to invest in him?

    I keep getting my grass cut in AR because my fortress is so useless 😔

    And it costs a gazillion leaves to upgrade the bloody thing

    Well, my old build is pretty budget, as it's just default Fjorm who consumed a Silas and a Kaze. Nym's is more investment, but should perform better overall. Assuming Aether as the special, that Steady Breath is going to give her quite a bit more sustain. I guess just one match-up to keep in mind is L!Alm. Shield Pulse with Ice Mirror will do better against it.

    As far as Smite bots go, it's a pretty flexible role. Most non-refresher supports can do it, so it would come down to what else they can offer to your super tank. Assuming you do go with Fjorm, you might want to consider M!Corrin. He's got one of the best support bonuses in general and he covers greens for Fjorm. If you've already got another red to cover that, Mordecai can provide buffs and debuffs at the same time. Odin or Mae can also provide +6 all stats if they consume a Sigrun.

    Fjorm could work with Altina, but you'd have to be more careful because her bulk would be lower without a double Eir or double Naga. You'd probably have to be more aggressive about stacking up defensive drives with the other units, which would, of course, be fairly restrictive on positioning.

    I have Lancina I can use as support. Didnt realize she's actually really good for this game mode.

    All of my M Corrins are manuals because I didnt realize he was even usable, but based on the fact that he would only be usable for one person anyway...

    Do you think Marth would work? If I run Marth and Lancina that's +5 to all stats before drives to any physical unit and I have double dragon effectiveness (which may be overkill but eh who cares).

    Alrighty, felt like throwing in my two cents in here after getting tier 21 today.

    Screw this mode.

    I like you

    as you can acutally build a unit the way you want to (for the most part).

    This is literally not true

    Or at least only true for defense

    Actually, you could build your units however you want. There's just no guarantee you'll win. In fact, being able to do whatever we want is what makes this game mode so cheesy. 🤔

    Prior to my heavy investment, I was running Reposition, Ice Mirror, Steady Stance 3, Shield Pulse, Atk Smoke 3 and the QR3 Seal. This keeps her about as durable to ranged and dragons as the Bonus Doubler setup, but she has a rougher time taking on standard melee.

    Her original weapon.

    Reposition

    Steady Breath

    Dull Range 

    Attack Smoke

    Swift Stance

    + 2 Eirs blessings and 1 Peony.

    I can run both of these

    So which one is better? I have the fodder for both of these. Guess Thrasir can give trouble but Altoona is automatic kill Thrasir button so I'm not too worried about that

    Vantage Altina would want more or less the standard Vantage supports: a Smite bot with a Link and C/Seal combination that covers Atk, Def and Res (probably Atk/Res Link and Def Tactic C or Seal). F!Takumi provides 10 extra damage and Panic in an AoE. The Bolt Tower is also worth consideration for upgrading. Maybe a refresher of some sort to help her possibly get in more easily (those rare times where she can get a kill without endangering the refresher). L!Azura is obvious preferred, but just about anyone else is usable. I'm not sure a Ward block would work that well for Altina. Since she's a Mythic, she's not going to pick up the big bulk boosts that a normal super tank would.  Goad could possibly work, but it won't give you a lot of flexibility when a Vantage unit often wants to be right up in the enemy formation's face (usually to initiate on a key enemy and spread Def Smoke before the Vantage shenanigans begin).

    Ehhhhh unsure if I want to invEst in Fallen Takumi... but... I'll think about I guess.

    As for a smite bot, who would you reccomend? I have Def/Res, Spd/Res, Atk/Def, Atk/Res and Atk/Spd Link so that wont be an issue. I have a +10 Olivia I can use as a dancer... I'm probably going to give her an Astra blessing as well.

    Is it worthwhile to run Fjorm and Altina? Also, what else could work as my other unit assuming I'm using Olivia Fjorm Altina and [Smite Bot]

    Also it represents my unfortunate less interest in pokémon because of GF and how Fire Emblem has taken its place at my favorite game franchise.

    Unsure if this is good or bad tbh

    one streamer/youtuber I follow on youtube constantly reach Tier 27. And right now, his matches last literally two minutes, his +10 Fjorm blessed with two Eirs and one Peony sweeps any defense teams.

    This sounds hilarious 

    What set would Fjorm run 🤔

    I think Gifts of Winter Cecilia is pretty good as super tank on Astra if you have two Nagas.

    I personally recommend having 2 Eirs for super tanks since she boosts Res, and you need as much visible Res as possible, so I do not recommend merging all your copies. Atk, Spd, and Def can just be buffed with combat buffs and you do not those stats to be visibly high.

    Tanking mages isnt a problem for me, so I dont REALLY care about having 2 Eirs... and since I run Nino on Light having super high speed is gr8

    But since galeforce is apparently a legit strat now I guess I should mention my Soleil already has Spd refined Edge+ with Galeforce and Fury/LnD. I do have flashing blade seal at max too... I guess my team may seem a bit unconventional to the current cheese that people get by with in this game but eh. I dont see any issues that can't be attributed to player skill so far not saying I suck, just saying I'm rusty

    I dont need help or suggestions for my light team I NEED HELP WITH ASTRA.

    I dont have two Nagas, I only have Altina. 

    and I'm not really interested in investing into Cecilia if I don't have to. Mostly because I wasnt playing when her TT came around which means I'll have to spend grails to get one copy of her, and I'm trying to +10 Delthea.

    For super tanks, I personally recommend combat buffs over bonus buffs. With a shit ton of Panic around, being able to completely ignore Panic gives a huge piece of mind.

    Ya dont say 

    Cause I could've sworn I just said the same thing

    Stop telling me things I already know 😤

    Latina is already good for defeating Thrasir. What are good units to run WITH her

    If I do goad emblem or even goad/ward emblem is that ACCEPTABLE? If so with who? If it isnt acceptable then what else can I do to make sure I dont get erased in Astra season?

    I understand that Cecilia is a good super dank because she's colorless and has great defenses. I have a good bit of units so if you give me suggestions I probably have a unit I can use instead

    I also have 2 DC food sitting here... I just want to spend it on something I know I can use everywhere (and relatively easy to merge)

    This mode is always going to be unenjoyable and shitty...

    As much as I like to have a relentlessly positive attitude, AR is just too cheesy LOL

    19 minutes ago, Nym said:

    It's very unenjoyable and shitty for those that don't invest into it. That's the sad problem about AR.

    First off

    Nym

    Is that you

    Oú-est ta photo d'eevee ?

    I didnt even recognize you at first... unless you're some impostor 👀

    Second, yes you really do need to invest into it. Which is why IS gave us those AR skills and why people may feel compelled to summon for certain characters. Like me thinking I could get a Sothis or Altina from last banner but instead I left it with 9.5%

  7. Soooooo

    Since I stopped playing AR a couple weeks after it came out I was basically at tier 11 for like what... I dont even know how many months until I decided to reach 15 just to get the free Brave Ike (which I got just now)

    Unfortunately because my fortress is only at level 2 every single match is an uphill battle. But still, I was able to make it this far (lost like 3 battles out of maybe 12 or something to get from 11 - 15 [could be more cause I wasnt keeping track and dont really care]). Everybody I fight has fortress at level 5 

    And I'm just leik

    Okey o_o

    Anyhow, I'm not going to bother trying to make a super cheesy defense team because I care even less about that

    ALL I WANT HELP WITH 

    is building an astra team. Mostly because my light team is already pretty alright... I have Eir +5 and Peony with Soleil Nino and Olivia which is 145 lift. 

    I have Nowi as Astra blessed but I'm thinking about having Nowi seap with Olivia for a better color balance and because apparently Thrasir destroys her (which I didnt think about).

    I also have an Altina. I was thinking goad emblem to make things simple and avoid all the panic and other general stupidity 

     

    @Vicious Sal

    what sets do they normally run

    Cause I have a +Atk Gordin and Klein at 4 star just sitting here. If their builds aren't too hard to make I may actually be able to pull off an okay-ish defense team

    YAAAAAAAYYY SOTHIS ALT!!!

    Basically me

    If this Nino had a prf I'd be more hype but I really dont know if I want to go for her...

    Ranged armors are eh tbh

    Sothis is completely broken though. Like, no matter how bad her stats are. And I'm betting they won't be bad. At the very least we know she'll be fast. I wanted an OP green dragon for dragon emblem too.

    MUAHAHAHAAHAHA

  9. I see people with out of combat damage strats and using armors to wall everything and all this other nonsense...

    Fools. All of you, fools!

    The REAL cheese is double galeforce on the top! If you have units powerful enough, you can defeat 3 things in one turn (or 4 with a well placed dance). 

    Soy originally told me the strategy. I can do it myself, I just need to summon another Cordelia to run it double, as I only have 1 right now ~

    MUAHAHAHAJAHAHAAHAUWJWOZJ9WBZJKWJWOSJSOSNS

    Spoiler

    I know some people know this already, I just wanted to talk about how ridiculous it is

    Fire Emblem in general doesn't need fairies.

    Just like how it didn't need gods, cat-people, bird-people, dragon-people, revived skeletons, centaurs, giant spiders, demon kings, Duma possessed creepy witches, ghost parents that tell Seliph he is a really good boy, people with the ability to shapeshift, time travel, portals to other dimensions and a kingdom named Valla that floats in the sky because someone at IS played too much Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

    And yet all those things happened and it wasn't the end of the world. 

    You are allowed to personally not care for fairy tale creatures, but "there was no need for this" is a really bad argument.

    At the end of the day there are few things that are "needed" to tell a story, but if every story was only about the needed bits they would be really short and uncreative.

    People seem to not really like the story in FEH. SO I'd say that the fairies would be acceptable or even needed if the story in this book is actually good and the fairies being part of it really seal the deal.

    But since this is FEH that probably isnt going to happen.

    At the end of the tunnel, what FEH does need is a good story

    Amirite 👀

    Regardless, I never cared about the OCs or paid attention to the dialogue. The main reason why I say it wasnt needed is because it's random

    Like 

    Super random 👀

    LOL or nino (I don'thave a Nino. )

    😔

    But I do have Igrene

    She's absolutely disgusting. Destroyed the crap out of Latina abysmal. Just needed Nowi to finish her off and that's pretty much it ~ gotta love broken units being broken. I was fortunate enough to get mine +Spd

    Question: How do you kill someone with sky high res?

    I actually went with a different setup to this pic because Reinhardt cant tank the green cav, but the end result was the same.

    Astra brazen atk/spd Nino for president

    the transition from dark and edgy to genericfantasycutesyMMO is too jarring

    If book 4 came before book 3, that would make more sense. Or if book 3 never existed. Or if book 4 never existed. Or if this game never existed

    Yeah.....too bad she isn't going to last very long in my barracks before I pawn her off to Ripto so that he can feed her to Gulp *ahem* dispose of her. I kinda have an....extreme policy when it comes to the FEH OCs.

    As long as you fodder'd them it's all good. Or turned them into manuals. Sending them home would be a waste!

    EHEH
