mampfoid Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I was so proud when bow Hinoka (whom I don't use much) killed a brave Hector in AA that Minverva couldn't ... until my TA/Gronnraven Inigo got killed by a Klein while staying on a defense tile. Klein didn't even had CA, just a charged Blazing Thunder from double Infrantry Pulse, QP and Slaying bow. Of course it was the 6th match and I got really good match-ups so far ... 6 minutes ago, Vaximillian said: No. Too bad, that would have been my chance to stay in tier 21 once.

Vaximillian Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Improved my arena score somewhat: It’s so satisfying to use King Marth to cut down dragons even better than before, and it’s also satisfying to have Cecilia delete everything at discretion. Speaking of whom, does anyone remember when was the most recent time Cecilia was a bonus unit? EDIT: I looked it up. It was back in October, just before Book II hit and daily hero battle heroes lost their quota. Almost a year has passed since. Oh well.

Almost a year, back in October 2017, her last rotation was a mere ~3 months before IS scrapped the Daily Map free rotation units from the Arena Bonus list. It was a bummer when they changed that (Fjorm's first bonus week started to weed them out), but nevertheless she stayed on as my core nuker until this latest arena change. I fully expect the GHB rotation to meet the same fate when another GHB Revival quest set comes around, so all the investment people put into merging their GHB units as high as possible to have consistent arena bonuses will be negated.

Blazing AoEs are like being hit by a good Bonfire or Iceberg, making them very dangerous. It also disables QR/VF, though it runs into problems with Vantage. It also happens to score better than Bonfire/Iceberg . There's a reason I field them on my bonus unit whenever possible (and not already running Aether/Galeforce). Those mass Pulse setups are also usually carefully calculated to kill everything, including the unit's TA counters, so be extra wary when you see that (pretty sure the Lewyn I listed a bit back would have straight up killed my TA3 A!Tiki—Draug had absolutely no chance—so I had to kite him around until Anna had a chance to run in and Blazing Flame him in the face).

Hehe, he's my second favourite FE character after Inigo. I had almost 400 free orbs saved up and bought some packs as well. I'm still using the free orbs to pull for him until his banner ends. I would say my luck was about average for what I put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaximillian Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Well, ain’t this nice? My new team already produced two defence wins, and one of them is my new highest defence score ever: Such is the power of my queen, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) That is... bizarre. I wonder what slot it takes. Could be worth considering on the Askrs, though their ability to function is already pretty precarious at times. EDIT: Apparently it's an A-slot with some possible extremely heavy restrictions. What a wacky implementation. Edited September 14, 2018 by Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Once Red Infantry Duel gets released, hell shall break loose. (Red Infantry is the most common color-movement combo and some of the most commonly used stat whores and support units are red infantry). Duel skills pretty much only benefit refresh units and support units since those guys are less likely to care about their A-slots.

Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Also, blade tomes. My Nino could get by without Fury 3. Granted, it may not be all that useful for attacking units for a totally different reason than losing their A slot: the meta focuses around feeding the bonus unit, so having Nino obliterate things isn't terribly helpful for scoring. Support might help the bonus unit more, I guess, though I don't think red infantry will be the thing to make things go crazy. Colorless cavalry or infantry is going to, because troll staffers.

I can see it now: Red Infantry Duel on M!Corrin (bonus unit's gigolo) and Olivia (F2P friendly dancer) Colorless Cavalry Duel on Nanna, Clarine, or Priscilla (if F2P friendly) or Veronica, Maribelle, or Elise (if got plenty of orbs, luck, and/or money).

But no Water season =/ Still she will score better than any of the others at low to no merges. Now I need to go and invest ~100k feathers into Tailtiu to make her good enough for the next two weeks since Fjorm allows me to not have to build anyone up.

Ice Dragon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don't want to try to figure out how to make Fjorm kill Hectors and Grimas and Ephraims. Hell, Zelgius is hard enough for her to handle. Tactics team go... I suppose. +10 to all stats due to Arena bonus and Tactics should help... I guess. Considering I only aim for 10 out of 20 kills.

My summoner support is reserved for Bride Ninian. I don't do ally supports. I'd rather be spending my time on more fun and important things like working on builds, mussing around with staffies, and getting the Heroes section on the main site finally up to date.

Azuni Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Fjorm seasons are going to be a breeze, going to slap on Slaying Spear+, Summoner Support, and Ally Support. I expect it to be even easier to feed 17~20 kills than Slaying Hammer+ Anna was this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not expecting to stay in Tier 21 so its ok and for AA i dont need to use Fjorm against them. I am wondering if i should invest in +10 Jaffar once the A skill for Arena BST gets released for daggers, the amount of Chip dmg + Windsweep with double savage blow would be godlike to get kills from the bonus unit. obviously he cant attack dragons but meh.
