I feel like quite some of us are xD. I'm going the Brave Sword direction though.

Level her to 40, use the SP on inherited skills and then merge the two units.

At worst, you'll be giving 'competitors' more feathers that they can use to upgrade their team that you 'might' find yourself playing against in future arena battles. So... not really xD. If you feel good about donating some defence wins, I would do it :).

I'm wondering, has anyone found a certain formula for how Arena points are being calculated? We know it's a combination of stars, level, merge levels, skills and base stats, but does anyone know how much point increase you'll get from switching from a 200SP special to a 500SP special (Bonfire > Aether for example)? Also, I don't take think this should be the case, but since inheritable skill costs 1.5x more SP, would having non-inheritable skills of 200SP bring less points than the same skill, but inherited, at 300SP? I'm just wondering since I think the competition at Tier 18 will probably become quite hectic...

I think it was because buying 75 orbs for €39,99 was actually BETTER than buying 140 orbs for €79,99, so they changed the pricing. Maybe should have made the 140 orb price cheaper though instead of making the 75 orb price more expensive... P.s. Actually, now that I think about it, I believe the orb price for 140 orbs used to be €74,99... so they made both more expensive...

You think this is bad? I saw a Hector with Pass once... an armor with... Pass... I'm sure that guy/girl was just done with the game >.>

So, I haven't bought orbs in a while, but I found out today that they upped the prices for orbs for Europeans 75 orbs used to be €39,99 and is now €43,99. Anything similar in other countries?

I'm not sure where/how you did these calculations. Using http://andyiverson.me/apps/fehmasssimulator/ on your very first calculation of Minerva gives me a different score (70W-5L-41D) than the one that showed up with yours. I could be using a wrong/old calculator however. Fury 3 Really gives the best of both worlds. You said Raven was practically indestructable with it on defence and with a Silver axe, but Minerva only has 1 more death when giving her Fury 3, while being supsceptible to Bows and still having the advantage of being a flier and potentially having flier buffs. I'm not really into doing all these calculations though, partially because I find them to be lacking on multiple fronts (always assuming fighting 'default' units for example) and because I kinda want to put my time into playing Echoes >.>

I'm not disagreeing on the fact that Raven has better offense, though slightly and only on player phase, than Minerva, but I classify Minerva as a offensive unit, and as a whole is better than Raven. With the Brave Axe, he indeed does more damage on the player phase, but deals much less on enemy phase while also having lower speed and worse defensive stats (-7 defense).

Can someone stop me from sacrificing Takumi and Mist for Close Counter & Spur Def/Res2 and making this the most costly healer build there is? I might be insane, but somehow this sounds like a good idea to me >_<

Ahah, I edited my post 1 minute after you qouted it with the same question of how they factor in class-specific C-skill bonusses xD. Seeing how well Cavalry emblem works, those units you specified would indeed be S to S+. Hell, even without cavalry buffs there's a good reason for atleast Reinhardt to be S+ if you ask most people.

True, it depends on how you rate units. If you'd want LnD on Raven you'll have to sacrifice a 5* unit. If we determine how 'good' a unit is, do we assume limitless SP and units? And how do you factor in class like bonuses like hone Cavalry/Flier/Armor? I always wondered how they thought about that with the wiki tierlists.

I'd honestly put Minerva over Raven as the best offensive axe unit. While he does have more base strength and speed, Minerva has a great personal weapon and Life or Death.

Those 20 orbs we got today sure came in handy. TO THINK I ALMOST DIDN'T WANT TO ROLL SINCE IT HAD NO REDS... https://postimg.org/image/mq9ilkoz1/

Yep, what @Elieson said. My four stars are all +10 (I also have a +10 4* Selena). They give about the same points as a +2/3 5* unit, and I have a lot of SP on them.

New highscore! Also, nicely on my way for 4 orbs next week, FeelsGoodMan!

And here I thought my name might have been the easiest of the three ._.

Hector is +RES -HP, Ogma is +ATK -DEF. I might merge Hector with my other Hector, though giving Distant Counter to someone sure is tempting... Ogma is probably going to be inheriting his Brave Sword + to someone :). Anyway, thanks to you in particular @Rezzy for this! ^^

I can't believe I won, this normally never happens xD. And I actually got really lucky in the pull aswell!

The OP-team is done! Team in spoilers. I really, really like Linde with Breath of Life btw. 12HP AOE healing per turn, 24 if danced by Azura? YES PLEASE. I still might get her Blarblade+ though when I have enough feathers to promote Odin.

I want orbs!

My Ike has finally been completed! I could have just build Heavy Blade, but I thought this build might actually be pretty good, but mostly unique. What do you guys think, yay or nay?

Pretty much, yep! With that SPD, DEF and RES she'll be able to withstand a lot of things and Bonfire & Wo Dao+ give her a +28.5 damage special, not even counting buffs, which kills a lot of stuff. I now have three four stars lvl.40+10's and I get around 705-710 points in the Arena. Only need one more Nino and level her to make that 4, and hopefully come close to getting 5.000 points in Arena which I've made my goal for now.

Just completed this beauty! She has a few more skills like Vantage and such, what would you guys suggest I give her? I pulled a Hector while searching for Soren/Titania last banner and I'm really inclined to give her Distant Counter, but I only have one Hector and he's +ATK -RES aswell >.<. Anyway, thoughs? (Tagging @DehNutCase because I think he might like this) Edit: Might be better in the 'Inheritance' topic now that I think about it.

Tharja, Setsuna, Robin and Nowi cleared it easily. Setsuna two-hit the mage and then used Draw Back on her. Tharja, fully buffed by three units, dealt with the axe knight and Nowi demolished the lance knight and fire mage. After that, Zephiel was easy pickings :).
