Looks like the original map rotation is now in arena rather than that cancerous one with the truckload of defensive terrain and breakable walls. It was like that too 2 weeks ago. Seems like SI's been changing up between original map rotation and the new ones each week. Edited June 13, 2017 by Lyrai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s original set 1 → fort set 1 → original set 2 → fort set 2, rinse and repeat. We’re at original set 2 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis_z Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hi, im in tier 19. but only 586 can go to 20 hahaah ;(. i only win 682 per combat, I think it's impossible even doing a deathless run . All the rivals are 40 +, and i dont have anyone ;( for best BST Tier 19 Nevertheless, im happy beacuse i think is a really good meta for a FTP with no rerol I did not know it existed lol.

LuxSpes Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I was able to promote to Tier 19 and I completed my deathless run, which was much easier to achieve than last week. Considering the cut-off point for promoting to Tier 20 is rank 1466, I think my chances are good that I'll promote next season. Don't think I'll be able to stay there though.

I got into T20 this season with a lower score, so you'll probably be fine. On a separate note, I already have 5 defense wins, so I'm set for the week :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperGYS Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ah, even with 4570 points I'm still back at Tier 16... Maybe this is a good tier to stay forever xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFrigid Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Burned one crest yesterday just 'cause, so got the streak today worth 5086 (T19). Current rank is 12, with the cutoff to move to T20 at (currently) 2143...I think I'm gonna make it. Teams faced: Spoiler Some of those skill sets hurt my soul. Highest Def score (out of 3) is 586. Nino's back! WOO! Sorry Hector, you're cool, but Nino is Nino. I should have enough feathers to make her stick around permanently by the time this season is over...unless week 3 of T20 is harsh enough to require Hector O.o ... hope not.

bethany81707 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'd ask what all those Aethers and Galeforces are doing in there, but I guess a lot of people double offence for defence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just leave them like that since there's never really a situation where you want to let the enemy proc a skill, so what proc gets left there wouldn't make a difference either way--except for perhaps Moonbow or Quick Riposte with Quick Pulse and a 3 CD skill. That, or skills do factor into defense scoring in some capacity. EDIT: And then there's units like Nowi who hardly benefit from having a special, so taking one with 5+1 CD comes at no consequence.

Kiran Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Phew...that was scary. The enemy had Deathblow Bravebow Bridelia, Fury Kagero, Erika, and vantage Hector. The Kagero/Erika combo is frightening when I'm running an all infantry team. Thankfully it was on the mountain map. Nino killed Bridelia first turn. So that left slowpoke Hector and Erika + Kagero. Split up Kagero and Erika. Ryoma was able to tank a hit from Kagero and counter-kill her. Ephraim buffed Nino and with Draconic Aura charged up, she killed Eirika. That left vantage Hector. Ryoma had 7 hp and was able to tank a hit and double Hector. Yay for Sharena's weapon debuff and fortify def and spur def. Hector did 5 dmg :P Edited June 14, 2017 by Kiran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 This was the lead unit of someone who lost/auto-surrendered to me last week: Spoiler Props to you, whoever you are. That's some dedication! It looks like my arena "rank" will be "bounce between tiers 17 and 18". I'm definitely high enough to move onto tier 18, but 4.7K isn't enough to move to tier 19.

Infinite Dreams Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Got my first deathless run fairly easily with the free swords. Doesn't really matter, though, since I will definitely be demoting to Tier 19. I finally ran into a horsie team! Luckily, it was a team of Titania, Leo, Cecilia, and Olwen. Super easy. Just threw Ryoma into range of Titania and Leo. Both killed themselves on him. Then Cecilia did. Rein took out Olwen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Tier 19 score of 4856 (New career high! No deaths; no surrenders; 690, 696, 692, 698, 690, 690, 700; Nowi +2, Sharena 5*, Eirika, Nino +3): Jun 15 12:35AM PT - #703 (/2271 to Tier 20) Phew, that's a pretty good position that hopefully shouldn't slip too much. Had my second 700 ever and it was finally an Armour Emblem (plus Bride Cordelia, of which I'm seeing billions of) that's not half-assed and on the bridge map, no less. Full Distant-Counter-Bonfire-Goad Sheena, Hector and Effie with WoM on Hector and WF on Sheena and Effie. The only odd thing was the Carrot gear on Sheena and Effie, which lead me to believe this is also a team that's set up for offense, since that would help their sustain against the AI. Sheena and Hector were looking a bit scary, but unluckily for them, Eirika's actually a rough cookie. With the help of Nino's Hone Atk 3 and Moonbow, Eirika one-rounded Hector. Sheena's Atk was low enough that even after dueling Hector, Eirika was able to attack and Drag Back Sheena despite the Goad from Effie. This let Nino place the finishing blow on Sheena. With only Effie left, Sharena and Nowi still didn't get to do anything because Eirika's full suite of buffs let Nino one-shot Effie. I kinda forgot to change seals back for my defense team again, but it didn't really matter. Got three defense over the first couple days. Got a fourth that's worth my highest, at 580, possibly influenced by Reinhardt's upgrade to Death Blow 3. That was one that physically hurt to do, though. Despite doing merges on Nowi and Nino, I was still extra apprehensive to sacrifice a crappy +Spd/-Atk Effie to do it. Thing is, that awful boon/bane makes her a worse attacker than my 4* Effie and that Effie isn't getting a promotion anytime soon. More than likely worth the benefit, but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This Effie was acquired, of course, in attempting to get one of the new characters. Namely, I'd have settled for anyone other than Athena. Naturally, the game gave me Athena. However, since she's actually +Atk (me rolling +Atk, what?!), I'm actually kind of excited to train and use her. Anna's gonna have to wait a bit for her time in the sun. EDIT: Oh, and forgot to mention that Nowi has the Quickened Pulse Seal instead of the Spd +1 Seal now. Not sure if I'm going to change things around, but it seems to help my Arena score, so I'll probably keep using it.

Most to all of my opponents gave me 686 points, which is pretty much the bare minimum of what I can get now I think, so I should be able to improve on this. I'll probably have to as well, since I doubt I'll make tier 20 with this (currently ranked around 1.2k). Team used was Ryoma, Hector, Reinhardt and Sharena, all 5* and unmerged, apart from Reinhardt who I merged to +1 before the last two battles.
