To be fair, Lyn is my favorite character, Matthew just wound up being my favorite unit in this game, guess I have a thing for the underdog.

It's not so much that I'm passing on my favorite unit because others use it better, but that I'm trying to get the most out of said unit, not particularly because I just want to give him the best toys. Close Counter was something I new I wanted to give him from the beginning. It complements him perfectly and suits his statline and playstyle. It was the best choice I ever made in this game and I have never, repeat, never swapped it out.

Without that sort of assurance in my decision, the window is open for regret. If he were to get Special Spiral, it would mean there was quite a bit of it to go around. On the other hand, Wrath is a skill that many users in my barracks would love (Ayra, Ephraim, Hector) but if I get fodder, the first unit who's getting it is Lyn, 100%. Because she's a favorite and it's perfect for her. It's the equivalent of CC for Matthew even if the others are technically better units. You can't have one of those two factors without the other.

I didn't pull any Lewyns, but honestly it wasted on a unit like him. Units that can nuke things want skills like that. Sure he can nuke well with Ignis, but to me it's so much more valuable on a unit like Lillina, Ophelia or even Kagero, who's High ATK can take advantage of specials to their fullest.

I probably wouldn't give it to Matthew even though he's my premiere unit. I'm still waiting on Seal ATK/SPD 2. That's what I really want, to be able to debuff all 4 stats on every enemy near him while buffing himself.

I did see that actually! I Just never commented. Simply ridiculous. Smite and Pass is a combo I never thought I would see, ever. Nevermind what Libra was able to do once he was there. Matthew was impressed.

Not sure which video you're referring to. Been busy though, so link again good sir.

She was quite the surprise. I pulled her and a *5 Sakura as pitybreakers while pulling for dagger dancer Olivia.

It was a blessing in disguise turns out.

Nope, link meh.

Sup~

I tried him out a few playthroughs and used him if I needed an extra thief. Stuck with Matthew for the most part. His weapon is interesting, but on a unit with a better ATK stat. Nothing changes for Matthew. If I pull a Legault I may build one of him. He was a cool unit and interestingly enough all the thiefs from FE7 are now in Heroes.

Me neither. But I'm partial to dagger users and Takumi is probably the closest thing we've gotten to a real combat dagger since launch. (Kagero is a specialist and useless vs anything not infantry.) Of course with the new seal to make fliers immune to arrows, a flying Dancer is just dumb.

Still I'm not compelled to spend anything. The ROI on this banner isn't worth the orbs given what's coming.

Legendary Banner, New Heroes Banner, potential Anniversary banner.

I'm not blowing orbs on a banner like this, or even the new years banner when there's potentially a pot of gold waiting at the end of this month.

Hey, Gray was one of those units I wanted so bad for that Sword Valor but also because I thought he was really cool. Fast forward to now and I'm at 42 orbs and I honestly regret those 8 I spent on that banner that kept me from a clean 50.

Things change. I'm much less craving for units, particularly sword ones after pulling Lyn.

My biggest issue with Fury is that for enemy-phase units (without Aether) it typically makes them a one-and-done unit. And for Arena that's usually fine but when you have stubborn enemies or are fighting enemy healers (especially with refinements) things can get Dicey. That being said I stand by that Faye build regardless. If Fury gives you the best results by all means go with that.

He's my pride and joy. Lyn is my favorite character who I just pulled last month, but since promoting Matthew and finally feeding him the Close Counter from the spare Takumi I pulled near the beginning of the year when I started playing he's been my single most used unit in the game of late. I even plan to +10 him.

If you're out of the loop, the Weapon Refinery boosted Rogue Dagger+ to debuff all enemies defenses and buff all allies defenses within 2 spaces on top of an insane jump from 7 MT to 12 MT. Stack that with a Seal or ATK Smoke skill and we're talking an 11 point damage reduction, then we're adding bonus damage to Bonfire and well... he's a beast basically.

I'm the one that made the Matthew topic in the Heroes Analysis subforum. It's got this (and better versions of) build and others and my writeup of why Matt (and Saizo) are overwhelmingly slept on as units at this point.

My current main team is Matthew/Inigo/Ayra/Genny and since Genny is an arena unit I've been running this team there and they've been doing well. The game loves throwing me armor emblem which Matt and my Dazzling/Wrathful Genny with Gravity just laughs at.

The Brave set has incredible longevity as long as you don't screw up your unit positioning. It's one of the reasons why I regret my Wo Dao+ Ogma, he performs well for one round of combat and after that he's just... over. I could run Desperation on him but then he'd be forgoing Swordbreaker which is typically what he's used for when he's not killing greens.

I'd say your Faye is fine as is. +3 Res seems... incredibly underwhelming no matter what unit you're running and what you're trying to build. Even a Guard Bow+ user. But I've never built one of them, so what do I know there.

I say Inferior because Takumi, Leon, George and even Gordin can outperform her in that field. However they don't have her bulk, but that doesn't matter as much when she's getting doubled more. That being said, she performs fine and it's fun to use her that way.

The idea of a Guard Bow+ Faye is fun in that she can run it better than other units, but ultimately it's an extremely costly build and even the Brave Bow+ build is cheaper and arguably simpler to use on her. More power to you I'd say.

Faye has options now. I wouldn't regulate her to an inferior Brave Bow+ user when... pretty much every other archer is better than her at that. She has bulk, that bulk should be used.

I'd run something like Guard Bow+ with Distant Def and Quick Riposte just to be the most irritating ranged unit I can possibly be. I really should give my Bridelia the Brash Assault seal. I don't know what I'm doing with that seal anyways, but since Bridelia has maxed HM, I only really bring her out for the serious stuff.

It's all about my Matthew now. At least... it will be for the next days before he maxes his HM too.

• Brave Bow (Not +)
• Draw Back
• Luna
• Death Blow 2
• Poison Strike 3
• Hone SPD 2

She had enough power to kill the squishiest of units and softened others up if need be. Not amazing but pulled her weight enough to max HM and did a heck of a lot more work than Firesweep Bow+ Faye could ever do.

Why?

90k I think? I was impressed! I would have hit at least 115k myself if my cell battery hadn't completely died along with my charger. Either way, you'll hit that 100k next time if you hadn't already, the trials will only continue to get easier with your units growing in number and strength.

Unless of course they screw everyone over on the maps like they did in Awakening.

No. That Zeo you're referring to is most likely ZeoHawk. He was a guy in the Smash scene and has a youtube channel. I ran into him a few years ago and we had a good laugh about having the same name.

Generally I'm "ZeoRebirth" around the internet.
