I got A/B on my first try yesterday, but today, I was being sloppy and got quite a few Cs and Ds. I really wish I had a 5* Bonus unit. I gave Robin Triangle Adept 2, which helps a bit, but he's still a bit lacking. And taking the coveted Blue Unit spot keeps me from running one of my better Blues on my initial team. (I just got Reinhardt, too.) My initial team of Ike/Julia/Robin/Bridelia made it all the way to Map 7, but it doesn't have the oomph to finish it off.

SatsumaFSoysoy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Bleh, terrible runs. Mishaps keep happening, and the map with the ridges is so annoying. If I get that map, either my Speed is going to tank, or I have to play very risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studying for and acing a test is easier if you've been doing your homework along the way. And what makes you think those of us with lower scores haven't been putting in just as much effort for just as long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual Dragons Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Usually a combination of Hector + high-Resistance melee cavalry messes me up. My Ryoma is likely too fatigued and Tharja needs to stay healthy for Veronica. Still, giving Tharja Darting Blow has been a boon. Currently raising a Felicia for Breath of Life to Tharja. Ryoma is fine to stay in low HP except against Hector. And yeah, I think I'm giving Desperation to Tharja. Sorry, Nino! I'll get you Desperation one day or sac the other Shanna Score: 14,051 Stamina Potions: 70 Goal: 8K minimum a day And eventually I'll need to do the Zephiel quests. I think I'm fine.

In order to have a reasonable Speed on that one, the enemies have to be things Reinhardt can ORKO, and I have to keep him at low health so my WoM Azura can support him. However, if I get that as the 6th map, that means I can't heal up my Rein with Breath of Life to prepare for the final map, in case Effie spawns.

Effie has like mid-20 Res, which is still fairly decent for an Armor. Eh, considering boosted stats, I wouldn't be surprised to see Effie with +30 resistance. My dumb luck with greens ensured me that I have a ton of greens to deal with blues, but the award would have to go to Titania. Titania walling out Olwen and Reinhardt is amazing along with dealing with the other blues like Cordelia, Hinoka, Jagen, and Peri who do scratch damage and default Guard means she can stop them from muscling through with their specials. Green mages with high defense, though... Can sort of deal with the randoms, but Lucina is my only reliable means to deal with Veronica, so if she's dead, then I'll have to somehow manage someone like Eldigan, Eliwood, adult Tiki, or Zephiel to 2HKO her. Regarding losing runs over and over, maybe a break or go with the lower 5 battles run? Hitting your head on a problem over and over isn't a good thing. Frustration just makes things worse.

That one works pretty good with Robin if it's the one I'm thinking about. Especially if a horse is blocked by the trees. He can just soak up a lot of attacks.

Because that's easily my least favorite map in the set :/ It slows me down so much because I have to squeeze units in one by one, sometimes having to retreat after a kill so that I'm not killed on the counterattack. I'm rarely in danger of dying there, but it does slow my run down considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur97 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 My least favorite is probably all of them the Cordelia map with the 4 fliers. they close you in making it really hard to keep your vulnerable units safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that though, I happened to pull a 5* Hawkeye on the Golden Week banner while trying for Hector, so I just sacrificed him. I'm actually considering replacing my Ryoma's Fury because sometimes I feel like the chip damage hurts him more in the long run than the extra stats help him. The chip damage isn't such a big deal in a single Arena match, but it's a lot more noticeable in the Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put very bluntly because I'm not so great with words, the fact that you're getting lower scores. I'm not trying to belittle your effort, but I'm finding it hard to consider this situation as anything different than a test in school. The better prepared you are coming in, the better you will perform with the same effort. There's nothing wrong with being behind others. We walk the same path, only some of us just walk a few steps ahead. If your goal is to catch up, then you need to be prepared to put in extra effort (or other resources if you have them, like money or talent or longer legs) to make up for the distance. God, I must sound like an old geezer right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual Dragons Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Unless there's a unit that Tharja likes to hit, that one Awakening map with the forest slows me down badly. 8 minutes ago, SatsumaFSoysoy said: I can keep things alive most of the time, but yeah it just takes way too long. With the bonus effect of not being able to heal Reinhardt back up if it's the 6th map (my Reinhardt is Fury because I put it on him back when BST mattered in the Arena, and I have never pulled a Klein in my life) I know Fury 3 is more costly than Attack +3 but since I'm in the same boat of "No Kleins pulled" and only having Fury 2, I switched him to Attack +3. It works pretty well, all things considered! And getting a Gordin or Cherche is lot more reasonable than getting a Klein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
