Hawk King

Well this is an accomplishment. I have joined one of the most elite clubs this game has to offer. The only thing left is making it onto the 1st page of AA.

I was one of those people, lol. I was auto-battling Hard-5 with my phone in my pocket at work. Headphones let me know when I had to pull it out and set up another auto-battle. I took my break with 30 mins left of the TT and made sure I made it.

260k would not have been enough. The cutoff was somewhere between 261-262k I finished with 262,553 for rank #945. It is stupid how competitive these have become. Early on, 20k per day was more than enough to stay in the top 500 let alone top 1000. Last TT the cutoff was like 24.5k per day, and now this TT it was over 26k per day. We need to score over 5 times the amount needed for the max rewards to stay in the top 1000. It would be nice if the rewards didn't stop at 50k.

It's the same Sigurd, I just put the 2nd picture in there because I thought the Level 9+10 was kinda funny. The max level thing wasn't always 100% clear, but If someone +10s a character, chances are that they have maxed out the level as well. Title change eliminates any possible confusion. The entry for Dorcas is LV 1+10

@Garlyle While Fjorm is top tier skill fodder, she is also a Legendary hero who can be valuable to Arena scoring during Water seasons. If you can use her to get higher feather rewards during water seasons, the extra feather might be the best investment over time.

Aside from Laguz, these need to get in. Calill and Bastion have perfect personalities that could really shine if done right, and Stefan >>>>>>>> Zihark or Edward all the way. There is literally zero reasons for not being able to put Dragon Laguz in the game yet. They can just operate the same exact way as the dragons we currently have.

You get back 50% of the HP lost by the opponent. Even if you do 100 damage if the enemy only has 40 HP you get 20 back. And if the enemy is at 1 HP you get 0, etc...

Don't we have "Four Heroes" things like every other month? With the max rewards being "kill 10 enemies LV 35 or higher with X character"?

Who is using your Close Defense seal? Seeing the defense stat above 50 is nice, but Close Defense 2 and 3 are superior to Defense +3 in every way possible.

Both HP and Spd are superbanes and will drop him to 174 BST which is a slight drop to his scoring potential, but they are his two best natures in terms of performance. +Atk/-Spd being the better of the two. Bonfire is his best skill for initiating attacks, and Ignis is best for baiting attacks. Aether is good for scoring and allowing him to stay healthy, but he won't be able to trigger it when he initiates the attack. Steady Breath also performs a bit better than Warding Breath does unfortunately, so if you aren't in a rush to get him fully built ASAP you might want to hold out for a bit. When initiating the attack there is no difference between Brazen Def/Res and Warding Breath, and when baiting, there are only 5-9 more loses. Calcs were checked with a +4 Hardin with QR Seal against +10 enemies with various common skill overwrites. With two stacks of Ward Armor his performance while baiting attacks is insanely good with loses coming only from Armor effective weaponry. So you can totally keep him with Brazen Def/Res and achieve equal performance. Without a Breath skill, Bonfire will be his best performing special.

Wouldn't the big whales be better off building multiple +10s of the high BST units they use so they can keep from having to swap out blessings every couple weeks? Besides, there is no need to have Blessings every season in order to get the maximum rewards. Staying in Tier 20 is stupidly easy, and even with using Caeda and Lukas, I have been able to stay in the top 1000 for AA every week without having to do multiple runs for better scores. I'm sure that full 170+ BST armor teams would be able to stay in the top 1000 with no problems whatsoever. Probably more English speaking players. Also English is a common 2nd language in non-Japanese speaking countries so they will obviously watch the English video over the Japanese.

They are basically just "Firesweep colorless tomes". With a whole lot less skills for extra firepower. While Firesweep is annoying, it isn't too hard to deal with. The Serra I am running only has Dazzling on her weapon. I think her healing my super bulky units back up to full is what is screwing people up...

LINDE IS COMING BACK!! She will finally join me. No more Deltheas taunting me. The legendary banner really kinda disappoints me. Flying Ryoma just has the plain old Raijinto. And Bushido is just a worse version of Wrath that works with Ryoma's flying status. I do need 2 more F!Grimas and 3 more Gunnthras... And I need my first Harden, but I already have a +10 Sigurd and +10 Fjorm and knowing my luck I will keep pulling those two. New weapon refines could be interesting.

Did the calcs. B!ike is fine as long as he doesn't get quad attacked.

OH. MY. GOD. SERRA IS A DEFENSE WIN MASTER. I had a Defense win 20 mins into the new season and I am now up to 6!!! You running Bride Lyn? Because apparently people can't handle healers...

Lol, nope. They do 0 damage without a special. 1 Bonfire on the first counter attack takes them out. If they somehow survive the first Bonfire, Even a Woa Doa+ Black luna won't kill him and the second Bonfire will do massive overkill damage. Brave Ike might want to be -HP or -Res to avoid a potential quad attack from Alm.

+Spd is not good for him. Speed stacking on him just gives him a lot of inferior skills. If I were to be fortunate enough to pull all of the copies I would need to +10 him and still have plenty for fodder, I would build him pretty much the same way as Lukas. +Def/-Spd, Bonfire, Steady Breath, QR, Close Def seal. +Atk would also work for the build but it would take a little away from his raw ability to tank physical (and magical because Urvans is broken) damage. Most definitely. Urvans makes the feat quite easy. Lukas can survive Bold Fighter Axe users with a full defensive build.

Dr. Sakura just prescribes death for everyone. Speaking of Dr. Sakura, maybe next week I will try both her and Serra on my defense team. I can give them both water blessings so that Fjorm can make them even more disgusting to deal with...

Holy crap, I took out Lukas for Serra on my Defense team, and I went from 2 wins to 14+ in the past 3-4 days. She doesn't even have anything like CC + Vantage. Just a mixed bulk set with Pain+ and single Savage Blow.

Definitely go with Brazen Atk/Def if you pull an Ares. Getting below 50% would probably be tricky/dangerous. Although when he does fall into the quad range that would be pretty nasty.

I'm always interested when someone mentions Lukas. What did you come up with?

Yeah, her mixed bulk combined with a very respectable 38 Spd lets her survive anything with less than 43 Spd that doesn't have Bold fighter. LOL, just checked again and I am up to 7 defense wins with her on the defense team. Too much Fortress lowers her attack too far. My -Atk Clarine runs double fortress, and she is even more of a pain than Serra. I just don't have any plans to +10 Clarine any time soon. Honestly, the dual stat skills are perfect for healers since they can't have other better stuff in their A-slot. My other build for Serra is Absorb+(Wrathful), Recover+, Attack/Speed 3, Renewal 3, Drive Spd/Savage/whatever, Attack/Speed 3 seal. It's not as good for a defensive team, but she hits 44 Atk with 41 Spd. I really want to give her CC for the Absorb+ build, but I am way too hesitant with my rare skill fodder.

I'm curious to see who you went with. Morgan right? Good thing about healers is that they are so versatile that they can run great sets with and without CC. You should check out my Serra that I have set as my lead right now. I put her on my defense team for the first time and I got 6 wins in the past 24 hours. I have only been getting 2-3 in each of the past 3 weeks. Apparently she is really difficult to deal with. If you are into using healers, it can be really good on them.

Oh right. I guess there will be nothing but disappointment then.

Takumi had a stretch where he was on like every other banner that came out. I see no reason for Dorcas not to be here. Along with Shigure, Zelgius, and Shiro. There are 4 stats for Stance skills they all should be represented IMO.
