Thanks. That makes sense. Thanks again. I never noticed the change season button on the Edit Raiding Parties screen. I just thought you could only have a total of 5 teams. Do you think I should start blessing units now, or should I wait some more until I have more experience and more consistent wins?

OK, I'll give Swordbreaker a try and see how it does. It's cheap enough to experiment with. I guess she's been doing OK for me so far with Vantage, I guess I'll stick with it for now and see how it goes. In fact, I just swept my first match of the season using her and Tharja. In fact, the match ended so quick on the first enemy phase, I didn't have a chance to even try for the pots 😲 I've got Altina ally supported with Velouria so she has instant Twin Blades. Here's the team I used, am I supposed to bless everyone there (except Altina) with an Astra bless to earn more lift? Or is it just to buff the units up when they deploy with Altina? Since blessings are rare and I can't really swap them every season, does that mean I will have to come up with a few different effective teams, with some blessed Light, and the others Astra? Yeah, I wish I could. I really like Thrasir as a character 10x better than Duma. In fact, Thrasir's debut banner came out right when I first stared playing the game and I pulled so many green orbs trying to get her. I didn't even understand why she was any good, I just thought she looked cool and I saw a few YouTube videos talking about how good she might be (of course, I had no idea what anyone in the videos were talking about at that point, LOL). Of course I didn't get her, and looking through my barracks it looks like Spring Veronica was the only 5* I got from that banner. Uggg. Hope she gets re-run soon

Ok, I now have enough dew to get B!Lucina's refine. So what else should I give her that will be helpful in AR, specifically a B slot since right now she has nothing. I know a link skill was recommended, the only one I have available to fodder is Atk/Def Link 3 from Mordecai and would cost 20k feathers. I do have Spd/Def Link 3 from 4* Norne, but I've started merging her and I'd like to keep the copies if I could. Would WoM be good on Lucina? That way she could teleport back to Ike if they get separated? IDK I'm also thinking about giving galefore to Altina. Good idea? Bad idea? Akariss said today that galeforce might be the only viable way to use her in AR since she's a poor support unit. I already have a red vantage sweeper in Tharja so I don't know if I should have two red sweepers. Other galeforcers I have are Mareeta, Cordelia, and Cherche but none are completely built yet (Cordelia is probably the closest to being finished). I did just promote Naesala to 5*, and I was possibly thinking of him too. I really want Altina to work though because I like her best, lol. I also picked up a Duma this morning. Should i be using him on Offense or Defense, or both? I see that right now is Astra & Anima season, so I know I should be doing something with both him and Altina, but I'm still not clear on how all that works. Can somebody give me a TL;DR? 😁

Great information, really helpful. Especially about the bolt trap, I was almost gonna upgrade it. Thanks. I do have next weeks bonus structures, so that's good. Is there a way to see past next week what the rotation is? A calendar of some sort? I think I will have to just buy some Shrines (O) now, because the only other worthwhile thing would be to upgrade the ladder to LV.4, but I don't have enough stones (700). I only have 400 stones and 1,100 dew. The next Fort (O) upgrade is 1,500 dew, so if I spend the 400 stones that will give me the dew I need, right? If I wait until this season ends, it looks like I'll get 170 stones for finishing in Tier 17, so I'll still come up short to be able to afford the ladder at the beginning of next season. So I'm probably just better off buying some shines to get the dew to upgrade the Fort (O) right away, and leave the ladder until later. I can't add another offense slot until Tier 19. Moving up tiers is slow because I only have 1 Eir and I haven't setup proper blessings on anybody yet because I don't quite have my teams set where they're consistently winning. So even when I win, I'm only getting 60-100 aether. I didn't even have an Astra Mythic until I got Altina the other day, so that might help a bit.

Well, my first attempt with the new & improved B!Ike was pretty much a total failure 🙁 I brought him up the right hand side, and was able to initiate on Gunthra after being danced by Azura and Lucina was 2 spaces away. I know without her refine he's not getting cooldown reduction, but he still gets buffs, right? He didn't kill her that turn, but next turn she attacked him and he was able to defeat her but was left with ~22HP. That allowed Erika to come and destroy him. It's my fault for kind of forgetting the WTA at the time. Duh. Lucina was able to kill Fjorm with help from Azura, but was then killed by Lyn. Sothis then killed Azura easily, which left Eir & Aversa. There wasn't much they could do except gang up and kill maybe one enemy unit together. So yeah, I guess I played that map really poorly. Of course there was the usual 5 vs 3 Fortress level to deal with. It looks like I will have JUST enough dew to raise my fort another level if I build/upgrade 400 stones worth of structures, which is the exact amount I'll have if I buy one more item in the resort. What would give me the best usage? Offensive healing tower Lv1 (don't have enough for defensive tower upgrade), Offensive Bolt Tower to Lv2, or just buy whatever structures I don't have yet so I can use when they come up in the bonus rotation? Or are there any must have defensive structures that I should have or upgrade before others? I haven't been putting much effort into defense, and I think the most kills I've gotten has been 2-3

I do have a spare Kaze so I could do Atk Smoke now, do you think it's that much better than his stock Threaten Def? I also have Pulse Smoke, but it's only on the single Igrene I pulled the other day, and I'm not willing to sac her yet, she's actually pretty fun with her constant charged AOE. EDIT: What about Lucina's B slot? Is WoM good for her?

OK, thanks guys. I gave him his refine and sacrificed Nailah to him, so he's ready to put in work. Just need to give him Repostion, unless you think he also needs a different C skill or Special? And what kinds of enemy team comps should I be looking for or avoiding with the Ike & Lucina combo? I know to watch out for Ophelia. Who else? And I assume the best use strategy will be to Smite him in as close as possible and let him tank on enemy phase?

Idunn is one of my favorite characters in the game and was one of my first 5* pulls (only been playing 2-3 months). I've thought about giving her DC and using her more, but I'm worried that red isn't a great color for a tank and the fact she's weak to armorsmashing and dragon effective weapons. I might merge her if I got more copies just because I like her so much, but she does have some good fodder so that's a tough call. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, lol

I think that's a really good idea. I know when I get high enough pity rate, once I get that 5* I stop summoning. I'd probably keep dropping orbs if I still had a decent pity rate at that point (even though it's kinda dumb, it's psychological). I bet they'd get an increase in revenue f they implemented it like that. Yesterday I had a 10.5% rate and ended up getting a Fjorm because I was sniping blue. I was bummed because I really wanted a L!Tiki (I'd even be happier with a L!Julia even though I already got 3 on this banner). If my rate didn't drop down to 8% I might have kept going a bit longer.

There are so many great ones, but I really like Halloween L'Rachel for some reason. Love her voice actor too

Last night I pulled B!Lucina on a lucky single pull, so now I'm leaning towards building B!Ike as my tank. Do you think now is a good time to give him DC & Null-C from Nailah (or do you guys still suggest holding onto the fodder and waiting)? If I do use them in AR, what kind of team comp should I build around them? Right now I have a team with Eir, L!Azura, Aversa, B!Ike, & B!Lucina. Does that sound OK? I was also thinking about swapping Aversa out for Altina. Also, I only have enough dew for one refine right now. Should I do Ike or Lucina first? The other I should be able to do next week most likely. In other news, last night I won my first match in a long time without any deaths. That felt good. I don't think the enemy team was too scary, but I was at a -2 fort disadvantage. I basically had to move Altina over the traps safely to take out Veronica first, then almost every one else was killed on enemy phase (except Surtr. Altina need help from axebreaker Aversa to take him out 1 turn).

OK, wow. So last night I was in bed deciding what refine to spend my dew on, so I started to read about B!Ike. I kept seeing how great he is with the refine if you have him paired with B!Lucina. Now, I don't have a lot of orbs left after the string of desirable banners recently, but since Lucina is a focus right now I figured why not try a YOLO summon for the heck of it. My free summon on the banner was garbage because no blue came up (combat manual Libra), so I knew I shouldn't spend any more orbs. But I'm glad I decided at that moment to try. Only two blue orbs to choose from, and I chose wisely 😁 I still can't believe I actually decided I wanted a particular unit, pulled one orb and got it! I don't know if the time I pulled three 5* in one session is my best summon ever, or this is Now I just need to decide who's weapon to refine first. Only have enough dew for one, the other will have to wait until next week at least.

🤬 I caved and bought some more orbs today. Note to self: stop watching FEH videos on YouTube. I was pulling everything except green, and I got nothing until I got my rate up to 10.5%, then I pulled a single regular Fjorm. Ugggggg. What a bummer

Thanks for the tip. I don't have any Oliver's yet, so I'd have to decide if it's worth the grails to pick him up for fodder when the time come to disperse those skills (probably not though). And you know, when I was looking at Mirror Impact I was focused on the stat buffs, and I overlooked that it denies follow-ups. Yeah, that's a pretty good skill. But might not be optimal if using on a galeforcer, no?

Yeah, I know you're right. It's just hard trying to use a unit with an incomplete kit because it's hard to get a feel how good they're gonna be or if you enjoy using them. I'll hold onto the extra Nailah for now, but yeah I'm leaning towards B!Ike getting it once I have the dew for his refine. Anyway, I should be able to raise my fort another level next week thanks to one of the Black Friday packs giving me a bunch of aether stones. Back to Velouria, looking through my barracks I realize I have an extra L!Lucina that I never merged. Would Swift Sparrow 2 be better on Velouria compared to having a +1 Lucina (best IV I have is +Spd -Res), or just wait to put it on someone else? I also summoned 3x L!Julia during the current banner (2x +HP -Spd, 1 Neutral), so I do have Mirror Impact available. Is that a stronger fodder over Atk/Rest Oath 3?

I get what you're saying in regards to raising Spd and Atk, but I was just looking through the A skills that I have at the moment available as fodder. I've been buying orbs, but I'm definitely not a whale yet, lol. I do have an extra Nailah now though, and I was reading a lot of people give Velouria both DC and Null C-Disrupt. Good idea or no? If not, who is a better recipient of those two skills?

Oh, how does that work? Are feathers based on score? What's the best strategy as far as how many ballots/flags to use?

Added both you guys. I'm bummed to be on the losing team (so far), after riding Mia all the way to victory last month 😜

As far as giving Velouria some Atk in the A slot, would Brazen Atk/Def 3 be a good choice? I have plenty of Ares copies to spare. I do have a B!Camilla I haven't merged yet so I could give her Atk/Spd Push 4, but Camilla has fodder that would be good on a lot of units so I'm unsure. I considered Fire Boost 3, but Velouria's HP is that high to begin with, and mine is -HP so that's no good. Also, I played my first AR match with Altina tonight, and she did pretty good. Even with a -1 fort disadvantage. She just about swept the whole team herself. Duo Ephraim did take out 2 units though. His Duo skill is actually pretty helpful getting him to an out of reach enemy or aether pot quickly. I did lose F!Tiki and Nagi, but that was because I totally forgot about Surtur's 20 damage in 2 spaces thing because I usually just snipe him from a distance with Thraja. I could have played this map better, but it sorta worked out.

How does the system determine which friend you ally with? Every single match I've played it puts me with the same friend. It's nice I get to use a Claude because I don't have him yet, but I'd like a little variety. Is it because he might be my only friend who supported Mordecai? If that's the case, if any other Mordecai supporters want to use Altina, feel free to add me 2410298309 (sorry, is posting friend codes allowed? if not, I'll delete it)

Yes, I already put Heavy Blade 2 seal on her (will be upgraded to 3 next week). I do have a couple of galeforcers now, but none that I really use because they aren't that good yet (Cordelia, Cherche, & Mareeta), so the seal is available. But I will use Altina as a vantage unit to start and see how she does for me before I give her galeforce, but galeforce does seem like it would be fun on her. I'm curious to see how she does in PVP contect, because she is super OP in PvE (I have her and F!Tiki basically solo'ing the harder TT auto-battle runs) Should I start building Velouria like you suggested if she's supporting a vantage unit? Should I start off with WoM, or give her Vantage as well? Since she doesn't come with a B skill, that's the first thing I want to give her (along with a movement assist)

I pulled a +Atk -Spd Altina (Yay!), would the Velouria strategy still be a good idea even if I only have 1 copy of each? I haven't started building my Velouria yet, what are some skills to give her to get going?

Yeah, -Spd does kinda suck. Sorry man. I still think she could be viable, but I know her fodder is valuable. She's my first unit with Special Spiral, and I'm leveling her up right now in the magic workout map and it's insanely fun triggering Blazing Wind 3 times in a round (with help from 2 dancers) 😁

Heh, reading your post reminded me that I've been sitting on a pity rate of just over 4% on that banner for a few days so I figured, what the hell. The second red orb in the circle gave me a Igrene! So thanks for that, lol. Not great IVs, -HP +Def, but I guess it could have been worse 😉

Before going to bed last night I decided to throw a few orbs at the DC banner. So glad I did because my second Nailah came home 😁 That makes 2 copies of each focus unit so I don't have to worry about foddering off my only copy. Although it has the exact same IV as the first one I got early in the week. How does that happen? I'm officially done with that banner (good thing too, since it ends today, lol). Now the only thing to figure out is who gets DC & Null C 😎
