But she gets ORKO by Takumi. I'm not sure how I can soften him up first, as it almost always would mean losing a unit right off the bat. I did all 3 attacks with that team. Lost twice, and both teams had Takumi. Effie gets 1 shot by Takumi and all magic users, and she can never get close enough to get a hit. She's lv 32 now but is basically dead weight. On the split map the Azura/Julia thing doesn't work so well as Julia will get one shot by everyone and retreating leaves the two of them trapped in a corner. If anything I'm even worse off against Takumi than before, and that sucks as he's in every other battle I seem to do. I could have still one the last match. I realized it right after I moved, but by sacrificing Effie, Julia could have killed Takumi without taking damage and could have mopped up the rest. So really 2-1 for the team with a human error. Any suggestions on what to improve? I know I was kind of broad, but it seems like you've gotten farther into arena than I have. I'll try again tomorrow and see if maybe I just got unlucky. While @Elieson gets his beauty rest. . . Effie should have Wary Fighter 3, which prevents double attacks when she's over half health. Takumi shouldn't be able to 2HKO her (that's one bait and one smack to the face). It will also help (greatly) if she's level 40. For Julia, she'd need Olivia and a -HP or -Res Takumi to OHKO. Since you're running Azura, you'll have to have Effie deal a hit, then have Julia finish (and if you set it up correctly, Effie recovers some health).

I have no self control so I stayed up to do my next arena attacks :P Anyways, all of the heroes on my team are max skilled. I forgot about that when I said it. The attack I was thinking of she had already been damaged so it showed the x2, and so in my head I multiplied it out without remembering that there wouldn't be a second attack. However, it seems I spoke to soon. In non Takumi fights I'm 4-0, all against advanced opponents. The downside is I usually lose 2 units, but it is fairly even on who survives and who falls between battles. Only once have all survived, and it was the split map against all dragon opponents, so Julia pretty much soloed it with a little help here and there. Hopefully once I max Effie Takumi won't be as big of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's Elise and Sakura? I've been really unlucky with healers. Never bothered with Wys since I got Serra early. I'm however, mad on myself for sending both Lissa and Clarine home... orz Mainly asking this if I should try my luck with Maria with the current focus or wait for another one. I've got Maria. She was actually my first or second 5*, before she was a Focus. Her Physic works well, since having the extra range is a huge help. Healing is generally not as useful at max levels, though. On 2/23/2017 at 7:31 AM, Arcanite said: That battling Robin focus is completely useless in my opinion. Better wait for another one. The second Focus group is a bit weird. For one, it's only for a few days, and second, it seems to be all units that most people already have and/or are inferior to the other Focus group. I wouldn't mind getting units we already have in a Focus, but I'd rather it be units that are rarer, like Leo, who you can only get at 5* right now. For the units I want, I really don't mind if I get them at 3*, since I can raise them to 5* if I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ether Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I don't mind the second focus group actually, for the primary reason that it is, in fact, a secondary focus group. It gives you an increased chance to draw units that are good in the Grand Hero battle, which is nice if people are struggling, and it gives people who might have gotten lucky in the family bonds focus something else to draw from. Sure, the characters aren't new, but not everyone is going to have them regardless. Hell, if I hadn't really wanted Eirika and Julia(the latter of which still eludes me) I might have drawn from group B just for the chance at a natural 5* Fir, as I adore her heroes artwork. I agree with the much earlier sentiment that if this was a sole focus group, it would be a bad decision, but focus groups like this alongside a primary focus of new units/whatever theme IS might be pushing at the moment is definitely a positive for everyone involved. Even if a secondary focus was made up of my 4 least favourite units in the game, I'd still be glad it was there for people who wanted those units, even if I'd never draw from it.

I've got all my primary units to 40, and I like leveling new characters. Yeah, I'm leveling her too just in case, and because she's unique (so I'm pretty sure I won't get a better version of her later). I leveled the 2* version to 3* ('cause 200 feathers is nothing), and she was awful. She's getting "correct" now (on the lower side of passable), but I couldn't use her anti-cavalry tome yet, so maybe she'll turn better, but I doubt she'll be any useful in the Arena because of the units we fight there and her skills that make no sense.

Every time I spend money on Orbs, I seem to get crap rolls, and when I manage to build up enough free ones, I have a good pull. And the game taunts me by giving me multiple Focus characters, but not the Twins, which I want, especially Eirika. I've gotten 2 Seliphs and 3 Julias. That's extremely lucky, but I really wish I could pull Eirika. I've never even played past chapter 1 in FE4, so I don't know much about these two.

The V-day was definitely a good one. I think I've splurged a couple times since then. I just buy the $13 when I do, now. I think I've spent about $100 altogether. I've actually had a very lucky streak with Pulls, lately. Since the new Focus, I've gotten the five 5* mentioned, but three of them were doubles. I also finally got a 5* Roy, but with a crappy -Spd. I still haven't gotten Leo. I seem to not even be having that many Reds at all sow up. I keep getting Greens and Grays. I think I've gotten every single gray, now, actually.

Kaiyumi Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Hello! I'm looking for some potential...team formation ideas? Let me preface this by saying that this is probably going to look absolutely crazy (which it is), but it's also...100% legit in that a lot of money was spent. OTL I have some very, very mad friends who all pitched in for Google Play giftcards until I could get Leo (;;; which took forever, which is why I have this many characters to begin with), because--mad as they are--they're also terribly sweet people who know how I love the series. I won't divulge how much was spent, but it fortunately probably wasn't quite as bad as it could have been because I got very lucky with my rolls. Spoiler I know that F!Robin, Laslow and Niles were tactically not great units to rank up to 5*...but I did it out of personal bias, honestly. That aside, I'm trying to figure out how to put together a good arena team! My current team is Ephraim (+3), Lucina (+9), M!Robin, and F!Corrin and they seem to be faring decently, but there's always room for improvement! Also I wanted to ask how Camilla as a unit is in general, just because she's the only green unit I've trained up thus far. c: Thank you for any help/suggestions that you can provide!

Anacybele Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Even if you did spend a lot of money, how the hell did you get enough feathers to do that many five star upgrades? This doesn't look legit to me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyumi Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Getting that many 5*s unfortunately also means getting a lot of not-great units. OTL I just sent home almost everyone else (and the other 5* Tharjas because I...don't like her), which was able to pretty easily bring me up to enough feathers to upgrade anyone who was at 4*!

My eyes They burn You already have amazing tools at your disposal. Lucina, the best Sword user, and Linde, the best Magic user. For the sake of countering Takumis, I would suggest Kagerou, but given how you have ridiculous Limit Breaks, you might run into Limit Break Takumis as well, which your +0 Kagerou cannot beat. Robin and Jeorge could work, unless the Takumi is really high in Limit Break, so I'm not 100% sure how that works. Last spot is kinda up to you, I guess. Camilla could be good, but is hard to use due to the current Arena environment, and while she is offensively strong, she doesn't bring much defensively. Abel, Kagerou and Young Tiki would be your best options I think, as they counter Swords, pretty much everything, and Hector respectively. Alternatively, a team with Eirika + Tharja core could be extremely strong. Tharja is already quite ridiculous honestly, and Eirika's double Hone makes her damage output go through the roof. Assuming she doesn't get hit back, I don't think there's much that can survive a round against her. You'd still need a Takumi counter, and probably Camilla to eliminate certain Blues.

Rezzy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Does anyone know if there's been a leak of who will be in the next Focus Group?

Did you spend more or less than a $1000 for all those? I've spent over $100, now, and I don't have anywhere close to that many 5*, and only have enough feathers to promote a single unit to 5*, but I think most of my feathers have come from Arena and the promotion. I'm going to stop sending units home, until I find out how the Skill inheritance works. I justify spending money on this game by asking my significant other if it's okay to buy them, and consider it a gift. Some girls like jewelry; some like flowers; I like Fire Emblem.
