Othin

You'll probably just get a bunch of 3*s and wish you hadn't bothered.

I've heard Roy is good for fighting Veronica because of his Triangle Adept, and you'll probably want whichever lance user can best deal with Xander. It can be tricky to make use of axe users in 9-5 because of the enemy weapon types not matching them well, so from the sound of it, I'd recommend using Frederick for his mobility so he can at least avoid getting killed. For your fourth unit, I think either Olivia or a healer is best. When I did that quest, I spent most of the second half of the battle running back and forth and using Priscilla to heal damage from Veronica's attacks until I could get Marth in a position to run up and take her out, so I personally found high-power healing valuable but Olivia could also help you get Roy over to Veronica much faster. Also worth noting that you do have the option of using Light's Blessings if you have any.

There's at least as much to him as Narcian, Ursula, and Lloyd.

Wolf Berg has 1-2 range in Awakening, so it could have Distant Counter built in. Some ultimate weapons that had 1-2 range in their original game don't have it here, like the Binding Blade and Echesachs, but Raijinto, Siegfried, and Gradivus all have it. No axes so far have Distant Counter built in, so that'd be a new thing for it to contribute. He's not a "bandit boss". He's the emperor of an entire continent and is the antagonist for the middle third of the game, and he's one of the five bosses you can recruit in bonus maps. He's more important than plenty of the characters already available, and a perfect candidate for a GHB.

The previous Gauntlet started and ended within the first main banner of the month, and given that this one was downloaded in the current update, it seems to be getting handled the same way. Gauntlets last for six days, so to end before the spring banner, it'll need to start sometime this week. It's also possible that it'll coincide with the release of the next Xenologue.

A lot of these types of quests have tended to have gaps between them rather than being back-to-back, so I wouldn't bet on it being too soon. That said, we'll probably have the Voting Gauntlet start in the next few days with its own set of quests.

I'm relieved that I did these a while ago. Also my growing lv40 lineup means I'll be better prepared to take on any future challenges like this.

I mean, they already seem to have decided to double up before releasing everyone, and we don't know the popularity threshold needed. If they released sword Elincia and then later released a special edition staff Elincia, I'm sure there would be plenty of excitement.

That's the purpose of having two versions of Elincia.

I hope we eventually get a flying staff user, but I wouldn't want to not get a sword Elincia with Amiti. So maybe two versions?

I've been trying to focus my feathers on upgrading non-summonable units with ultimate weapons, since ultimate weapons are cool and that's more achievable than wanting to upgrade everyone. So I want to get Anna and Alfonse upgraded at some point, and it also means I should have enough feathers to upgrade some of the later GHB characters like Zephiel and Xander, especially if I don't pull focus characters so I'll have a 5* during their rotations. Xander could actually be particularly handy if his stats are good enough, since I want a sword unit with a distant counter effect to deal with Nino. (Maybe I can pull a Ryoma?)

I think it's best not to jump to conclusions until we see if it rotates back to Anna after Sharena. They might start going into different free units instead, like Hero Battle units.

My intention was to address the "it would have been a waste of SP once the April Update rolls in anyway" concern, not the rest of it; I guess I wasn't very clear about that.

Right now, it makes the arena more difficult but also makes it possible to reach higher scores. When the patch hits, it won't affect scoring but it should make the arena easier, at least when equipped to characters that can get good use out of it.

To be fair, Fury still seems to be a plenty powerful skill in its own right.

I wouldn't bet on it. Seems more likely to me for them to join the other April changes as part of the next big update coming along with the next Voting Gauntlet or when the main banner rotates out again in a couple of weeks.

Interesting. I already have Camilla as a bonus unit, and I was ready to spend my soon-to-be-20k feather count upgrading Michalis if not, but Alfonse could be another option for further improving my team. This also indicates Sharena will probably be back for the following bonus lineup, and since I already use her, that's very convenient. I was thinking about putting my feather stockpile into Anna, but if I keep saving it, I'll be able to put it towards more GHB characters to guarantee 5* bonus characters in future seasons. Which may or may not be an issue, depending on my pulls and what alternatives are available, but one way or another, not upgrading Anna means one more fallback I'll have than upgrading her.

https://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-heroes/skills/weapon-red/ Élivágar is listed as a red tome, but Veronica, who uses it, is a green tome user. (It is not also listed in the green section.)

That sounds like the fastest reliable way to do it, since that chapter requires a lot less stamina than any story maps you could use for it.

Yeah, the remaining ones announced so far are: Early April: Navarre Late April: Zephiel Early May: Xander Late May: Lloyd After that, we'll presumably get Linus and other new ones, with Camus showing up somewhere along the line but who knows where. Of course, there's plenty of downtime between GHBs, so at some point they could start doing reruns between the new ones or something.

I wouldn't complain, but there's no precedent in Heroes for a fourth difficulty level.

In that case, I'm even more glad that I managed to get Spring Camilla so I can have a 5* bonus unit for the next rotation without needing to get these feathers to upgrade Michalis.

While it'd be fun, it seems like they want to keep 5* stuff more restricted than that. I do hope that they at least split the difficulty levels into Normal/Hard/Lunatic eventually, so it becomes possible to get three copies of each of them instead of just two.

When you're not using calculations, you can't know how battles will go; you just have to guess. I've played a lot and gotten quite good at guessing, and I still do way better when I slow down to calculate exactly how battles will go. It's not just some minor tech; it's an enormous difference in the player's ability to determine the best moves to make.

The month-long quests are pretty basic, and it seems to be in part to stay accessible to any players newly picking up the game that month. The Training Tower quests were a completely different type of quest listing (like the weapon mastery quests in February), and I'm sure we'll get something in that sort of category sometime this month.
