I probably needed to field a double Hector to counter that lol. Hector wouldn't do anything when Reinhardt can OHKO him with Cavalry buffs. At that point only a handful of high res green mages would be able to stop him (like Julia :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is his brave ranged tome too much without triangle disadvantage? Wait. They said two Reins. Man, depending on the map, people may just potentially be screwed by that matchup.

However, if the Reinhardt is not +Atk or if he only has Death Blow 2, then Felicia just barely survives. EDIT: Adding on to this, if he happens to have Luna active, then even a neutral Reinhardt with no Death Blow at all can still OHKO with Cavalry buffs. If he did not have Cavalry buffs but did have Luna active, then a neutral Rein could OHKO with Death Blow 3 (but not Death Blow 2). I didn't bother checking calcs for a -Atk Reinhardt.

LuxSpes Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The walled map is the worst against horse emblem. I had my streak broken several times because of it. I had previously managed a score of 4770, which coupled with a 290 defense score put me at around the 7K range for the ranking. I had used a team of Sanaki/Nino/Linde/Ike. However I decided to try again using a Ike/Fae/Lukas/Sanaki team and after many failed streak I finally managed to get this: I gave Fae TA2 and Lightning Breath+ after having too many streak broken by Reinhardt and Linde. She worked pretty well against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 1-3 defense wins every week, so I think that Gronnblade defense is not very efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katrisa Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 3 hours ago, chirp said: I've benn running a 4* Blade Cecilia + 5* Reinhardt + 5* Ninian core for almost a month. The 4th unit was 4* Gunter, now replaced by 5* Titania. Deathless payout was about 4740 with Gunter, now 4760 with Titania. Blade Cecilia is good for active play: stay out of range, charge, kill, dance, draw back dancer. If countering is your preferred play style, then you might want to use a different configuration. The only times I use her as a bait is when Linde is on the opposite side. 3 hours ago, Eridras said: My Horse Emblem team is basically the same as yours: Eldigan, Reinhardt, and Cecilia. I also had the same question regarding Cecilia, and I ended up going the -Raven route for her. She makes it so blues and colorless units might as well not exist for the other team. Importantly, she's your counter for opposing Reinhardts. Lastly, -Raven Cecilia only requires the sacrifice of a TA unit(likely Roy), meaning you can easily swap her into a -Blade build without a huge loss if you change your mind. Thanks for the feedback! Both your thoughts is roughly what I was expecting of Cecilia from what I've seen of her. I suspect I'll go with Raven first and maybe blade Cecilia longer down the line if I enjoy her.

Okigen Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Got my deathless run this week. Replacing Linde & Sharena by Reinhardt and Soren made fighting Horse/Flier Emblem a lot easier but lowered the score by around 4 pts per match - even though Rein is higher merged than Linde. It's the price of playing easy mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Score of 4822: May 3 9PM PT - #1276 May 4 3PM PT - #1799 May 5 3PM PT - #2232 Still looking pretty safe. No defenses. Very unlikely to end up bumping my score up at any point because the free swords have been giving me points slightly worse than what I got for my current score. Unless the final 6 swords really inspire me with their generosity, I probably won't be adding any crests to the mix. Ah, well. Still doing 'em for the Hero Merit.

SakuraFish Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Score of 4802 is now worth Rank 3624. 24 hours ago, it was worth Rank 2825. The drop of nearly 800 Ranks in 24 hours probably means that i will get kicked out of the 5k if this pace keeps up. I just hope that it slows down a little bit the next 2 days, 500 feathers are 500 feathers after all. On the good side, my somewhat sketchy version of Horse Emblem (5*Titania+1; 4*Blade Cecilia; 4*Blade Ursula; 5* Xander) managed to finally achieve me a defense, so that can make up the loss of probably loosing the 5k bracket. Since I can't really bump up my Score I decided to run my daily Swords with my horse team, and damn, I had much more fun with it than I had with every other Team so far. Destroying entire Teams with a buffed up Cecilia and Ursula is so extremly satisfying. It's a shame that this team gets about 30 Points lower per match than my other Arena Teams.

LordFrigid Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Update for 4930: 5pm PDT 5/2: 184 4pm PDT 5/3: 315 4pm PDT 5/4: 447 4pm PDT 5/5: 536 Got a few random 708+ battles on my current run, so it looks like I might actually beat that tomorrow...assuming I don't horribly screw up on the last battle (currently at 4240 with 6/7 completed). Ran into the same mono-blue Ninian/Nowi/Reinhardt/Olwen team from day 1 today. I had to be a little more careful, since I made the switch to Desperation Nino (from Vantage) to try it out, and it was on that accursed breakable walls map, but fortunately came out with a win in the end (after a few turns of watching Nowi chase Ike around the map while waiting for her to get into Nino territory).

eclipse Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Using a 4* Clarine as a bonus unit. Current score: 4,726 Current rank: 14,077 Not bad, given that her damage output is worse than Virion. I have her bait vanilla Nino, since she's 34 Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizzard of soz Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 one drunken misclick made me lose my deathless streak...i'm actually kinda mad. ranked 26,372. having a deathless streak probably wouldn't even help me jump a tier for feathers so whatever 8') but hopefully my rank doesn't decline out of the 30,000 range by monday..

Thor Odinson Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I really can't wait until Xander's season---I'll finally have a 5* bonus unit since they changed matchup calcs, and I can run a full mount emblem team with it. Reinhardt/Minerva/Olivia 3-manning (with deadweight uninvested 4* Zephiel--i don't even have a pivot for Hector rn, let alone zephiel) gets me 4758, which I'm happy with. Next season is lava map, which i'm oddly actually kinda excited for, between making Rein hit people over lava and Minerva's flying reposition getting him outta there. Olivia is picking up a lot of Ryoma's jobs while I'm stuck with Zephiel. She can't counterkill green mages, but with Ruby Sword she can take a hit from Julia/Nino then dish back an ohko. Similarly she walls the shit out of Hector. 5* her was the best decision I made. Can't lol at Takumi and Vantage 3-man EP wipe but i mean if she can do that AND dance that would be kinda ridiculous Edited May 6, 2017 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaos Steel Wing Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Score of 4776, in the low 6000s. Should hold up for top 10k. Soren (+atk,-HP)has been great so far. My doubling build with Fury 3, Green Tomebreaker and Eirika buffs is doing great. He one-rounds Hector, and deals with many common characters like Nowi, Effie, Reinhardt, Olwen, Ephraim, Male Robin, Linde, Nino, Julia. Even against many melee reds he does significant damage despite weapon disadvantage. I didn't have skills fully inherited on him until tonight, so my score hasn't improved from previous weeks. Perhaps with full inheritance I make a push for top 5k before they change arenas on us soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
