Alexmender Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I got two defense loses already because the mode took my lonely Y!Tiki as my Def representative before I could setup a true defense team. I'll wait a bit for people to setup their teams because so far it's a bit too easy (for some reason my units are buffed to hell and back while the enemy is full of low merged units). I can't wait to combat a bunch of Reinhardts/B!Lyns/B!Veronicas. Luckily dancers are usable here so I don't really fear those units. Creating my own map is fun, though. I used the one with Def tiles and wasted almost all of my rocks to increase the defense value. The team is TBD but right now I put Eirika/Airzura/B!Veronica/H!Myrrh in there to see if they can screw with people. I might use Bride Lyn with double Savage blow if I feel evil.

Korath88 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You don’t need to worry much about defense until 4K lift since failed defenses don’t drop your lift until then. It’s actually a surprisingly fun mode so far. Only problem is limited number of matches a day with no refills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It’s unexpectedly fun so far, mostly because MY UNITS CAN ACTUALLY KILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWill Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's been a solid experience right now. Hope they keep updating it with new options, especially when people start hitting higher tiers in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlyle Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 So far very interesting. I'll have to think up a good strategy how to defend my castle and make the A.I. not suck for once. This can be challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon you could just box a super tanky unit of one colour in a corner, then fill the rest of your team with multiple dancers and TA adept units that can kill that units counters to stall to the turn limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethneer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I spent all my aether already ;_; But yes this mode is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Pretty fun so far. I only worry that it won't be long until I hit a wall though. I kind of suck at this whole town building thing. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilas Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I like customisation. I like map-making. I like seeing Replays. Although it's too bad some replays end abruptly and can't play the end. Maybe the enemy surrendered? Do we need the bonus unit for Defense as well?

Nope, but the bonus unit stat boost applies to defense as well unlike arena. Which makes Aversa particularly annoying on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Building a keep is already a lot more fun because I can actually design a map around my team. If you come across a team of Owain, RB Lucina, Hardin and Nino, good luck to you For offence, I appreciate that losing a unit only reduces the bonus you get.

Alkaid Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I like it a a lot so far, but it's going to have 2 major problems at later ranks: 1. Defenses making you lose -80 lift if your team doesn't win will cripple your ability to gain rank. You either make an amazing defense team or hope people at least don't encounter and beat you too often. 2. Because defenses will be hardcore if you want to score well, dazzle spam will probably pick up to try and make defense teams as cancerous as possible. This doesn't really bother me too bad since my team is usually okay dealing with those, but it's going to piss a lot of people off. I think the mode plays great and I'm really enjoying it, but I wish defenses making you LOSE score wasn't a thing, or at least not nearly as much. Literally everything else about the mode is great. Map editing, buying buildings, replays, no BST so you can fight a better variety of teams. All good.

mampfoid Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's funny how some people box their team in defensive devices, which makes it easy to destroy Aether boxes and approach them slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 So I'm learning how to use the AI for my team. Can't let my units be able to attack the enemy on the first turn if they don't move. So applied walls. Need tanky and annoying units. So bring in your WF Effies and Myrrhs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diovani Bressan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's a fun mode! I can fight against my team, and they are tough! And the battles replays are a great thing! IS should add a way to fight friends's keeps anytime, but without the lifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one map where they boxed themselves in but everyone was in range of a Wrazzle Dazzle Maribelle. Also there was a Lector with Armoured Boots and a B!Celica waiting to GF someone who wants to bait Lector I approached to the side to snipe Maribelle with L!Lucina.

ruruo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Really good so far! Wish there was more ways of refilling aether. I like how we can watch replays of defence battles and also test our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefyingFates Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Really fun, but we need more refreshes. I have 16 Aether now and need 17 to play again...screams Basically, you always need to take a few turns to destroy your enemy's Aether supplies; maybe everyone could just put theirs front and centre, or does them being destroyed cost you Lift? Also keep in mind that we only get 50 Aether points a day and I don't see a way to increase that (though you can increase your upper limit).

Why couldn't they have let us use our stamina? We've got the pots in massive abundance Has so much potential, but they're gimping player's time to play it. Hopefully they'll decrease Aether cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
