Eh. Think I'm gonna retreat from the legendary banner for now. It would probably be best if I save up a couple orbs and wait until the last days of the banner.

Anyone know how to make quad builds? I am trying to make a quad Hana, but I don't know how it works other than using Brave weapons.

I got a Hardin from the free summon last night. I still don’t really know what’s good or what I’m trying to work towards haha. I have just been clearing levels so far

- Brave weapon and Boost speed as much as possible! Usually L&D or Darting Blow/swift sparrow for A slot, threaten speed or speed smoke in C, desperation usually as B slot (but it's flexible, breakers or brash assault could work too), and Spd +3 seal. If you can't get them to 35 or more overall spd there isn't much point in trying, slower brave users need death blow. +Spd boon Hana can easily get high enough speed to be worth the investment.

- Nice. Congrats on Hardin. Sounds like you are well on your way to a really good Armour Emblem team. Go for Zelgius next and you're made (or get BK from the starter pack if you want to spend real monies)! I got a 3* Corin from that banner. Yay 150 feathers. Beating levels is good, get all thems orbs!

Ugh, could my luck be any dumber? My Myrrh is +Spd -Def. Literally the worst. Can I just ya'know, swap her IVs with Summer Gaius? Please?

who's everyone's picks for the voting gauntlet? i have no attachment to any of these people so i can't decide who to back p: (well, hardin's off the table 'cause i don't have him, but other than that, idk.)

also like all of these guys are red except hardin??? so i feel like i should switch out frederick for the gauntlet? or maybe not, since you should expect enemy blues? hrm

edit/ kept hunting for greens on the legendary banner like a sucker and now i'm at 10% rolled two more freds tho, hopefully one's +atk or at least -spd they're +def -res and +res -def. darn

Hardin is another great unit, congrats on the pull! I haven't been lucky enough to see him yet. And yeah, there's quite a lot going on with the game but at its core, it's relatively simple so you'll probs just pick up most info along the way. And the game is very generous with resources for F2P players, even; before long you'll be rolling in feathers and maybe orbs (we get ~300 free every month) so don't be afraid to experiment along the way.

If I had any advice, it'd be against sending anyone home yet, for both potential future merge projects and potential skill inheritance. And when you get the chance to upgrade sacred seals, prioritise Distant Defence 3, Close Defence 3 and Quick Riposte 3 in whatever order, with Heavy Blade 3 following. Also pick up free Fjorm and Legendary Ike if you haven't already, dunno how hard the game prompts them but both are great units.

Also managing to max score consistently with Infernal clears on Grand Conquests, whoo. I've used all my lances and am just a hair under rank 25 so I'll make it easily. Infernal's score boost really gives a lot of flexibility. Horses have been great as they're so offensively oriented, with Sigurd and L!Ephraim to cushion blows as necessary.

- I'm torn between Ephraim and Lyon, it'd be a good excuse to finally 5* my Lyon, but I also have a high level of Ephraim loyalty.

- I always seem to miss getting enough hits on the fortress, both infernal and hard though, so I've just been doing infernal. about 1/4 through T24, I hope I make it to 25. I have been strictly auto battling though, if I need to I can start playing it myself, then my units won't get constantly repositioned away from the fortress (I think that's the main reason I haven't been getting higher scores, they keep pulling units off the spots around the fotress making more enemy units span than necessary.)

...I don't think would have any of those seals. They were all TT rewards. The only seals available to a new player would be the squad ace ones and the tutorial quest ones. The only ones of those worth upgrading are +spd and +att, it's nice to have one of each of those at +3, but you probably don't need more than one, I like to keep my duplicate stat seals at +1 for F2P strats. Speaking of F2P, Kevin, keep all those free units you get from the daily battles etc around because those youtube F2P vids will probably be really helpful to you while you build up your army.

Uuugh, I summoned ANOTHER -def Myyrh. I don't know what to do with her. -def Myrrh is pretty much not even worth using. Great flame's effect will only be active on units with 26 or less def. Merging them seems like a waste, do I pawn her off for hone dragons? That also seems like a waste, I don't really have the makings for a good dragon emblem team. Using her for Fury or Bonfire DEFINITELY feels like a waste... I just don't know what to do with her, either of her.

super bummed about my 10% pity rate now that nephenee's getting a new weapon x:

... i completely missed that ephraim was there. maybe bc his regular self refuses to come home >:c and i missed that it's regular ike instead of legendary, so i don't have as many options as i thought... i'm leaning towards sigurd, maybe. i might wait a while after it starts and see who looks good for feather hunting.

as for seals -- he should be able to forge any of the tempest reward seals, except for the newest three since they haven't been added to it yet (they'll be in the next update, probably). so i'd go with thomas' suggestions and then add quickened pulse and armored boots to the end of the list, though sacred coins can be kind of a pain to collect so those are definitely lower priority o:

and i keep forgetting to do this but i just cleared my friends list a bit, so! if you feel like adding anyone else, i'm 300 455 4311 ~ my lead unit is usually frederick :3

[edit] anD I'M SO MAD THAT TITANIA'S NEW WEAPON IS A PRF??? IT LOOKS SO GOOD I WANT TO GIVE IT TO FREDERICK AND GEROME THEY DESERVE TO HAVE DRACONIC POLEAXE I AM DISPLEASED

- Is it regular Ike? If it is, they screwed up the splash image, it definitely shows Legendary Ike. I am stoked for Titania to have a better weapon finally. I hope Draconic Poleaxe is SE against dragons. Too bad it's not inheritable though, it is a shame your Freddy can't get it. And I wasn't so much saying that they can't be upgraded, as much as Kevin posted that he only started a few days ago, meaning that past TT rewards are not something he would have. (unless there's some other way to get them that I don't know about) Plus, if he's still working on clearing maps, might not even have access to the forge at all.

nah, they should be available in the create section of the forge -- at least, a quick google tells me so? i can't get gamepedia to load, but iirc the only seals listed as "cannot be created" are the initiate seals, enemy-only seals like embla's ward, and the three newest ones.

and ok so, when i looked at the gauntlet brackets i thought it was regular ephraim and regular ike, but i guess i should schedule my yearly eye exam bc they're clearly the legendary versions? alts are bad for my eyesight, lmao.

and apparently her new weapon is not "draconic poleaxe" in translations (it's "mercenary's battle axe" in japanese?), so don't get your hopes up too high -- though if they're going to give her a fun upgrade, they should go all out imo. effective vs dragons and cavalry would be neat.

- Riiiight, I forgot that was a thing. Pretty sure I created everything the first day it came out, and haven't missed getting a seal since (well, I don't have all the squad ace ones, I've been lazy about that)

Awww :( Titania would be a great dragon killer. She's got good res for a melee unit.

Just sent a friend request. My lead should be Karla.

(Oh jeez, guess I need to pick a god and pray)

Loool I'm so annoyed I sent home so many Titanias along the way. I currently have three in my barracks. Ah well, she'd probably be low priority because cavalry penalty. Still never pulled a Nephenee but she's overdue a prf. More Tellius units next, thanks?

Ah yeah you can create seals after they appear in a TT. I guess QR provides the most benefit at level 1.

And yeah, AI is forever dumb. I usually autobattle Rival Domain maps now and watch them flounder around the fortress, then take the reins for the Infernal map. Though they have won before, impressively! I've been manually battling all through the GC because I was worried I wouldn't make it.

Did a few more pulls on green because I was like, there's probs never a better banner to get Legendary Hector is there. I got another Fae, yay, and ended up with... another B!Ike! Then finished pulling the circle and got... another lady Grima. She doesn't really have any good fodder (Res smoke is a little niche imo) so might just merge her. Only problem is this one is +Res -HP, with a super boon in Res, and my current is +Atk -Res. Attack seems favourable but her lack of Res is very noticeable when I require her to tank. Hm, no rush so I'm gonna think it over a little longer.

- Yes, more Tellius units pls! Boots too for all thems armour pulls Kev got!

Got Hector, so I'm done with this banner. A bit upset about the crappy - def Myrrh situation, but I'm out of orbs, so I'm going to have to just deal. Maybe I'll get another one of her later that isn't -def. OTL. In the mean time, should probably give SOMEONE hone dragons from the Dupe, but I dunno who. I IV checked all the dragons I have sitting around, You Tiki is -spd, useless, Adult tiki, Fae, and Corin are all -att, also useless. Nowi's the one who I want to gain the benefits from the hone, so she's out, Ninian already has Fortify and Kana already has ward, so that would be a waste, so that leaves.... F. Robin Grima, which I guess would be an alright choice, but she's already got a pretty good C skill in Res Smoke. Need to free up some barracks space before Re:Hector the second coming.

congrats on hector!! 🎉 yeah, i've got my fingers crossed that if titania's prf isn't a dragon slaying weapon, it's at least going to involve her res so i have a reason to build fred's mage-tanking opposite :B but i really do hope it is dragon slaying! i think the only cavalry dragon slayer is fancy chrom? i want more options. (though i think i've only rolled -res/-atk titanias, so... still gotta hunt for a good one!)

got you added! :3 & you're safe, that's the one line he doesn't have in heroes ;w;

The desire sensor is fucking real, man. 10.5% pity rate, and no Legendary Hector. Just a bunch of Gunters and Arthurs. I feel like I'm gonna have an aneurysm over this...

I always forget about Boots but yeah, they're a great pick for mixed teams!

Lol ended up team Sharena on the final round. Had the chance to check in 10 mins before the end and we had a single territory with everything knocked out around us. Oh well, only a few feathers!

Joined team Sigurd as service to all the times he's saved my butt. Thinking about changing my lead out to Fae now she's +7, her build is boring but undeniably effective and I feel Bridal Cordy losing steam a little in the big leagues.

Edit: yay, saw 's Oboro! Also changed for Fae, lemme know what you think if she shows up for you. :)

I joined team Sigurd too, even if Lyon was probably the best choice for feathers! This man deserves an happy ending, haha. I switched my lead to Linde to help with reds! I hesitated with Axura so don't hesitate to ask me to change if you need more green.

Friend code if you want to add me is 0980064179 C:

- lol, yeah I was on Sharena at the end too, it was a really sad round for her. There were so many knock outs by the end of that round that there were only two spaces that ANY team could battle on.

- Take up my counter measure: Merge all the Gunters and Arthurs, try to +10 them, even if just at 4 stars. The Desire Sensor will get confused and think you want Gunter and Arthurs and you'll stop summoning them.

I Joined Ephraim, but I kinda want Lyon to win, if he does, I will join him and make my Lyon 5*. Maybe I'll even make him +3 cus I need to clear my barracks, and VG gives a good deal of feathers.

i joined lyon for feathers, we'll see if he sticks it out. i also remembered to put my live for honor/live for bounty units in my monthly quest teams! it's more for hero merit than for badges/crystals, but extra resources can't hurt.

this week's questionable decision was giving morgan close counter and candelabra+. i'm going to stick with the candelabra through the upcoming arena season, but i have a feeling i'll be switching back to grima's truth... i wish canas wasn't a tempest reward, i'd've liked to give morgan the owl tome just to see how it plays.

x_x I know I'm kinda background noise as of late -and not on the forum much- but it seems my legendary Epherem is a spd bane and defence boon so that's a bummer.

_< also I'm afraid of getting Myrrh if I try to roll Hector so saving the rest of the orbs for the banner on the 10th, joined Team Lyon (typo) for Voting Gauntlet....I wanted so long for him to be added to Heros so wanted to support him even if he doesn't win it in the end.
