I have a Ryoma but I don't want to swap out my +4 Eirika. My +Res Julia seems like a good choice to tank them but she cannot kill them in return. I really hope they release a Green Dancer soon. <.< Any suggestions on a non red unit that can tank and kill Nino, S!Camilla and Julia on counter? I use Ryoma but Nino can be used when in a pinch. Mine is +spd with fury and when buffed with hone speed, she'll definitely double other Ninos which means ORKO. Nino kills Julia if buffed and S!Camilla dies no matter what.

Hide contents I decided to try a similar team: 4* Olivia, 5* m!Robin/s!Lucina/Sharena. I've been going the "blue stacking" route with an emphasis on ranged attacks, but I guess adding Lilina as a third ranged attacker over Sharena could also work? No success so far, so I'm inclined to keep trying new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camilla, Nino and Julia who both pretty much slaughter Robin and Lucina and the former will be likely to show up since she's a bonus unit. as great as Sharena is, i feel like she's a bit lackluster on a defense team, because she lags behind due to the AI's super-intelligent-rallying-for-no-reason-strat and is easy to pick off later. at least in my experience of going against her. though Lucina has a rally too, may not be as bad since she's ranged..

Hmm. I gave my Sharena Draw Back instead of Rally Attack, but I wonder if taking off Lucina's Rally might also be helpful. I've found Draw Back very threatening on enemies like Nino on the arena, although that tends to rely on them holding back an enemy with a smaller attack range so a player is forced to enter both of their attack ranges at once. With a ranged team, that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two units will advance and get slaughtered while the other two are continuously repositioning themselves to stay out of my range. Once that is done, I just move my units back and the two remaining will separate and get killed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizzard of soz Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 got the highest score i could with a deathless run. i should probably stop bringing Olivia to tank my BST but i can't survive without her since everyone on my team can't kill pretty much anything in one round. Score: 4,682 Rank: 14,219 s. Lucina has only one higher rating than my 4* star Michalis, but does the fact that she's 5* also get me more points per battle? might attempt a run with her if so.

Yeah, star level and merges count for a lot of score now. However, Michalis is a bonus unit, so if you don't have another bonus unit on your team, you have to keep him this season. (Bonus units double the whole team's score, but multiple boni don't stack.) Edit: I'm an idiot, you meant S!Lucina. Yeah, run her instead.

Lucina for the bonus so that's cool. what's not cool is immediately running into a full Blade tome team (S Lucina, Nino, Tharja and an Azura smiling from the back) the moment i switched her in. don't think i could've avoided being beaten to a pulp even if i hadn't made a misplay. think i'm gonna just, maybe, not...

Kiran Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Finally got a defense win! I was getting worried that I wouldn't. I'm now set for the week. Hopefully I can pull a focus unit from the SoV banner. 4* Michealis is probably tanking my score this week. Edit: Improved my offense score by 6. Jumped up more than 1k in rankings! Now ranked 5084 with a score of 4754. Maybe if I'm picky with my battles, I'll make top 5k. Edited April 15, 2017 by Kiran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafiel's Aria Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Been leveling Nino while doing the Sacred Seal missions. Yesterday she was level 26/27, and now she's 35 which raised my Arena score a bit. Got another 7 win streak, but it wasn't deathless, so I decided to give it another shot and managed to succeed. I've still got like...60+ dueling swords to throw away. XD My previous score of 4664 had my rank at 13,176 yesterday and in about 24 hours it dropped to 17,029. Now my score is 4,740 which raises my rank to 8,742. I doubt that's good enough to keep me in the top 10,000 for this week, but man does that feel good.

My team was Spring Camilla, Hinoka, Hector, and Lyn (+1), which minor skill inheritance on all four. Quoting for comparison... my latest run after switching Hector for Tiki +1 and equipping seals gave me 4,768 and rank 1,403. That's... a much bigger jump than I expected, especially considering I was below 8,000 before the update. Is that normal, or are scores a lot tighter since the update? I wonder if I could manage to break into the top 1k with a few crests and being selective about matches. I've seen the values vary by almost 20 points.

Galactaray Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It seems using a team full of 5* stars which all have all skill slots up to 3 as well as support and special skills should be enough to break the top 1000 in a deathless run. Currently using Michalis, Linde, Roy and Jaffar which got me a score of 4,792 thus the rank of 1,188. None are merges so it's definitely possible to score high with some SI and a balanced team to defeat merges.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiran Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Got a streak ruined by an anti-green tome team....Half the team had green tome breaker.Screwed me over when AI decided to change Liliana's movement from chasing Nino to Ryoma. She one shotted him....Also, why are there so many Kagero? She's a pain to deal with, especially one with LD3 on the bridge map. But on the bright side I managed to finally increase my score by choosing battles only 680 or higher. Ended up with a score of 4764, ranked 3900.

Vaximillian Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) After like twelve crests and various shit thrown at my general direction I finally managed to increase my score by whole eighteen points: Let's wait for some fifteen minutes and see where this new score places me. The previous score of 4,750 was worth rank 7,243. Just look at what I had to deal with: Needless to say, I'm a scrub and Ephraim's harem made quick work of my girls (and Mike!) and me very, very angry. Still no defence wins :( EDIT: score of 4,768 is rank 3,459! Can I stay in top 5k? Ehhhh, I doubt it.

pianime94 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Ephraim's harem trumps over Michalis' harem! No defense win too. Maybe map positioning makes the battle super easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Wow, I got a new Streak of Seven worth Offense 4794, which gives me Rank 1322. Is it confirmed that they only show 10 Defense Wins on the screen? Because some of the ones I saw earlier are missing, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okigen Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I kept dying to Wings of Mercy teams so decided to give myself one. But not enough sp so had to settle with WoM 2 on Hector and 1 on Eirika. Worked like a charm except it reduced ranking by 10 pts per match damnit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_or_Die Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 My 6-win streak was ended by a TA M!Robin (lvl 40+1) with lancebreaker on the bridge map. It was brutal. Killed all of my units except S!Chrom, who died to Ryoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the update, I routinely acquired 3-10+ defense wins per day, which makes it easy to realize that the old wins are no longer visible.
