XRay Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have a few questions regarding how skills are sorted in the search skill menu. Does the search menu put Sack o' Gifts before Handbell, or is it vice versa? I am pretty sure Brazen Atk/Spd will be before Brazen Atk/Def, but where are Brazens located? After Defiants? Where are Bold Fighter and Vengeful Fighter located? I am assuming they are both right after Wary Fighter,Ā but I am not sure. Also, is Bold Fighter before Vengeful Fighter or vice versa? ā ā ā ā ā ā ā I am little curious about the whale meta. It is probably a little soon to ask, but have you guys seen triple TOD!Jakob running Firesweep-Moonbow-Death Blow-Bold Fighter yet? Would the Cancel Affinity version be more annoying?

For Winter Chrom is a netural orĀ +def-hp better for him? 3. Can a +res -spdĀ Winter Tharja run Aether withĀ vengeful fighter well? 1. Definitely not Enemy Phase units, since they need their HP up for Quick Riposte and you want to maximize their performance during their first round of combat. For Player Phase units, the only unit I can think of that may want it is Lyn since her performance appeal revolves around her second round of combat and beyond, but Brazen Atk/Spd is far better for her. If you do not mind gimping a Player Phase unit's first round of combat, slow Brave units would appreciate Brazen Atk/Def the most. 2. I lean towards +Def. Chrom has a massive HP pool. HP matters less and less the more HP you got. 3. Iceberg is better in my opinion. Aether is not going to proc during her first round of combat, and I would not rely on having a full HP enemy around to heal WE!Tharja back up. Personally, I would run [RauĆ°rblade, Moonbow, Death Blow, Bold Fighter] as she can take on merge+10 enemies like they are nothing. You should totally check out the calculator with Bold Fighter on TOD!Henry and TOD!Jakob as well: it is bonkers.

Melior Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Does anybody know the interaction between Vengeful fighter and Steady Breath? To give an example, let's assume weĀ run both skills on Black Knight alongside the Eclipse Special (3 turn cooldown.) We have the enemy phase and enemy A initiates on the Black Knight. What happens? The enemy attacks is resolved (cooldown 3 ->2) and steady breath activates (2->1). AfterswardsĀ the BN counterattacks (1 -> ready). Now, since vengeful fighter reads "Grants special cooldown charge 1+ per attack" I'm guessing the charge is attained after attacking and would fall flat in this case since the special is already charged. If the situation was the same, but the special was changed to Aether the cooldown would sink from 5->3 on the enemy attack and then from 3->1 on Black Knights counterattack. However, all of this is just speculation from my side. IsĀ someone able to confirm/deny wether it happens like that or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmokestack Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) @MeliorĀ They do not stack.Ā Also, Vengeful Fighter does not add to the cooldown like -Blade and Lightning Breath do. Vengeful Fighter allows specials to charge at the same rate Steady Breath does. Running them together is useless though as both skills state in their descriptionĀ that their effects cannot stack with other skills that have the same ability. Lightning Breath and -Blade have this in their description: Quote Slows special trigger (Cooldown Count +1) Ā Steady Breath, Heavy Blade, Flashing Blade, Vengeful Fighter, and Bold Fighter have this description: Quote Grants special cooldown charge +1 per attack These *are not* the same effect.

Melior Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I see. I suppose things would grow a little out of hand if both skills independently worked at the same time, haha. Thank you for answering so quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Breath's extra charge happens when an enemy attacks the unit, while Vengeful Fighter and Bold Fighter's extra charge happens when the unit attacks an enemy. I know it does not stack with Heavy Blade and Flashing Blade since their extra charge happens when the unit attacks an enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmokestack Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 @XRay Vengeful Fighter: If unit's HP ā„ 50% and foe initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack. (Does not stack.) Bold Fighter If unit initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack. (Does not stack.) Steady Breath If attacked, unit granted Def+4 during combat; also gains Special cooldown charge +1. (If using other similar skill, only highest value applied.) Unless the two effects of Vengeful Fighter are randomly separate from one another due to a mistranslation, it both activates under the same situation as Steady Breath does and gives the additional charge effect whether the enemy attacks or the unit attacks during a round of combat. Also this If using other similar skill, only highest value applied and this Does not stack It kind of says they donāt stack right in the description.

Medeus Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I was thinking about starting up a Dragon Emblem team, but I was wondering which of my Adult Tikis I should upgrade.

Tamagon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I've been running this team in Arena for the past few months: Fae, Nowi, Olivia, and a askr unit as a bonus. When Olivia is bonus, I put in Reinhardt. I'm planning to get as many 5* merges as I can. My Olivia is 4*+10, so naturally I'll need a solid 5* replacement that I can easily merge. Preferably a red replacement to deal with Julia/Deirdre. My options are: 1. Adult Tiki - Meshes well with Fae and Nowi + easy counter for Naga mages with TA3. Downside is lowish BST compared to Fae/Nowi which hurts scoring. 2. Eliwood - Legendary weapon helps out with scoring and cavalry range allows him to rush up and shank Naga mages. Alternatively I could put Distant Counter on him to make him into a somewhat competent anti-magic unit. 3. Draug - An odd choice but his very high BST helps a lot with scoring, but I don't think he'd mesh well with Nowi and Fae and couldn't easily take down naga mages. What do you guys think?

With Ruby Sword, Distant Counter, and Distant Def Sacred Seal, Olivia has a pretty decent bulk to handle green mages, although Dancers/Singers are not too useful on Triangle Adept team. I would go with A!Tiki. Exclusive Weapons are 400 SP while Refined Weapons are 350 SP. At 4*, A!Tiki is in the 145 BST bracket while Eliwood is in the 140 BST bracket. As long as Eliwood does not have a bane in HP or Spd, both their 5* BST bracket should be 155. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the best I can give you on the third one is that I don't see any reason for it to work differently. I actually don't really spend all that much anymore, and even when I did, it wasn't on the level where I'd feel comfortable foddering a Brave Ike for a unit that already had Vengeful Fighter (at least...I don't think so); I've only ever pulled 2 Brave Ikes, tbh. It seems to me, though, that the intent of the "no stacking" bit is to prevent the cooldown charge rate increase from going above +1.

The two effects āDoes not stackā and āOnly highest value appliedāĀ are worded differently, but they mean the same thing. If thatās the case, then Vengeful Fighter and Steady Breath donāt give +2 to cooldown for a net +3 cooldown per attack, meaning they donāt stack.
