- Yeah, I've been trying to do the other quests first too, we have all year for the GHB ones. And the Daily maps right now take up a good chunk of stamina on their own. The TT's gonna come and I won't want to do GHB during that either. So it might be a while. I might be glad to find those orbs available later. 5* Shareena is worth it IMO, she's my favourite Askr, and was my first feathered 5*. I had no trouble with those quests, that was the day the armour training map was out, so finding her an armour unit was easy. Then I just took the team of them to the 10th training stratum, got the infantry 10th strat quest too.

- If I got the orbs! Need all the Hectors! (I'm still a collector, and he's still in my top 5 favourite FE characters, so yes, I need ALL the Hectors, even if power creep has made his original iteration obsolete.)

daily maps through the end of the month, TT starting in a bit, more special maps tomorrow night, and a new bound hero battle the day after that -- GHB reruns can absolutely wait 'till next month, haha

& yeah, anna and sharena are getting my next set of feathers~ just gotta wait for the weekend sp bonus o:

- Fury boosted Anna actually helped a lot in the arena last week. This week I'm testing out Hector, but by himself it's hard to move him around, might have to switch to VIke.

hold that thought 'till we see the tempest rewards. supposedly one of the seals this time is armored boots, +1 movement for an armored unit. (i'm running hector & friends ft. armored march, myself, but i don't always want to run henry so i'm hoping the datamine is right)

[edit] 20k - fortress res seal (yuuus) 40k - armored boots! (YAAAAS)

The opening text for the tempest trials was cute, Roy being all worried about his Pa C:

Rewards are pretty nice, I’ve never pulled anyone with armour match so looking forward to trying it out. Eliwood is only 2000 points as well - that is nice of them to do that. Never really used Fortress res before, looks like it would be good for a mage bait.

I will probably give the ghb a rest until I’ve made more progress on the TT. I’d forgotten how much I disliked Robin’s map and my barracks are full anyway.

Was a bit worried after Dierdre showed up but I got myself a new Hector just in time for the trials! He’s very shiny.

What build are you running on W!Tharja? Mine is +Def -Atk with a Def refined Candelabra and Ignis, sounds like yours is -Def sadly but I still think she can work! From my experience using her during the TT, Ignis/Glacies are much more handy than Bonfire/Iceberg as her damage is so-so but the special procs come thick and fast. I do think that Ward stacking is the way to go, though. Only thing to look out for is the debuffs from the thieves, I think. Their damage isn't super high and if you can remove the Poison Strike one in a single battle the skill doesn't trigger, which gives you some breathing room.

And haha my BK had to go for a few training courses on the special map yesterday to inherit Swap. 😊 Was pretty fun actually, just used my full ward team without weapons and he slowly went around tanking and retaliating.

Happy my boy Sothe came through! He's definitely shot up as a firm fave, love any chance to use him!

(I totally started typing this yesterday soz)

Was going to pause on the GHBs but got the itch just now haha. Sent W!Tharja in to the middle with two wards behind her and ally support, just removed everything but the blue lance. Swapped her out and W!Lissa took him out. Kinda nuts. The blue tome barely scratched her.

Currently running V!Roy, Horse Eirika, Camus and Ninian for TT. I don't really use Camus much these days so it'll be nice to cap him on HM again. Not sure who will take his place.

And congrats on all your new units! Kinda jealous of all those Hectors haha. Might pull on the banner still but gonna see what comes out of the regular ones first. I do have three built green armours so sadly it's not really a priority colour.

edit: Fliers was easy, same squad as before etc etc. Gronnblade+ S!Camilla took out the top axe and NY!Azura got her out of there. So happy I pulled for a flier mage! S!Corrin is one of my most wanted units at the moment, definitely gonna go for her if she appears on a legendary banner soon.

Did a total hatchet job of Cavalry but managed it. I saw a video of B!Roy cheesing it so thought, hey, I never use him, let's try that. Dunno what went wrong but panned out in a totally different way haha, required further intervention from my backup squad of Cecilia, Camus and Oscar.

Similar story with Infantry but this was all my own messy doing haha. Used Nino, B!Cordelia, Azura and PA!Azura. Went after the axe at the bottom to begin with but Nino didn't have the firepower to OHKO him. Ended up B!Cordelia having to tank a hit from Robin as they swarmed me haha. Nino took a hit from the red tome to trigger Wings of Mercy range for PA!Azura to fly across the screen to buff her and let her take him out, while B!Cordelia and Azura contended with the blue lancer user closing in on them. It was just a mess but we managed it in the end.

Ah... So it looks like my W!Tharja is -Def and +Res. Her stats are HP43/Atk46/Spd18/Def31/Res39 and I'm running Candelabra+, Ignis, Close Counter, Vengeful Fighter 3, Red Tome Valor 3. Tried her just now and she just about survives the blue mage but it leaves her with very low HP so she can't survive the green axe.

I think she might be better with Glacies if she has +res, and a close defence seal... Ignis activated on the blue mage but it didn't totally take him out. I have a lot of SP left to spend on her after she was my bonus unit on the winter tempest trial so I have the flexibility to tweak her.

Sothe is a lot of fun to use, I generally tend to neglect the dagger units in general but I will definitely have to give them more attention I think! (Neko Sakura is also a favourite of mine)

There is a new summoning focus called 'New Power' coming up... I am curious what that is, whether it will be units with refined weapons but it overlaps with the mystery GHB and Voting Gauntlet so perhaps it is something involving the Askr Trio.

Ah yeah. I'd maybe refine with Def on the Candelabra just to give her versatility at both ranges and then swap Ignis for Glacies. Felicia and Fir are super attainable for fodder which is nice. There's also no ploys on the map so Fortify Armour could work as support for her as opposed to a Ward. I used DD3 this time as the blue mage was the biggest threat. So from base 39, add 8 res from two wards, add 2 res from Candelabra effect, add 6 res from DD3 brings you to 55. :) With WTA he gets up to 56 attack so you should only take 1 damage each attack. You're going to be triggering a flat 44 damage from Glacies then, too, so shouldn't have any problem taking out the bulk of the units.

And yeah, I think New Power will be one set of the refines, with the Falchions banner pencilled in for later. I keep seeing Raven everywhere haha, not a fan as so few of my reds can double him! I need to be generous with Axebreaker on some of my back-up swords.

Got it - swapped Effie out for Draug for the ward, and replaced Ignis with Glacies. So Tharja went into firing line, with Hector directly behind her to give her attack a bit more power and she managed to take out pretty much everyone. I then repositioned her out of the way so Hector could kill the remaining blue spear. That was before I refined Candelabra as a well, so there is life in her yet :D

I'm a bit late but I'm very glad you finally got your Hector!

How are you doing so far for the new TT? I'm struggling with the last map. Especially with that ranged unit spawning next to Lilina, makes it super hard to bait her if it's not a red or green mage :/ I need to figure out something because 2 weeks of TT with a 20% only bonus unit are going to be hell if I can't manage to get high scores xD Maybe I should try pulling again on the LA banner...

Im trying to get 3* robin but I suck at this strategy thing haha cries inside

Yay happy you managed to get it cracked in the end! Haha such a good feeling when you beat one of these challenges, looking forward to finishing the quests tomorrow hopefully. :)

I'm using horsies which is a bit of a cheat. I'm not sure if the foes move without you getting into range or not. Sending them up the left side to target the ranged user left of Lilina, using Draw Back or Reposition then catapulting my dancer (Ninian) across the map with either Reposition or Wings of Mercy, to Draw Back or Reposition again. Ninian has been killed a couple of times but no great loss at that stage, tbh, Lilina is easy prey for V!Roy and horse Eirika so I'm in luck.

What units do you have handy? I might be able to offer some pointers. c: Ranged unit + dancer is a good starting point as you can target either axe unit and dance then Draw Back/Reposition your ranged.

Currently sat on 6000 points, I spent most of today getting Roy, LIke and Hector to L40 today so I can start on Lunatic straight away tomorrow. My first team also has OG Azura for a dancer and the lance, as I seem to be getting a lot of red units spawn.

Back up team is Xander, Elise, Camus and Gunnthra. First team is largely okay and gets through most of the maps but LIke does seem to get knocked out quite a lot but he's not really super built yet. Lilina is pretty brutal (and she can OHKO Gunnthra) but I often start on the left hand side to get her moving as she's out of range from there.

Not going to lie, I was feeling pretty happy when it worked out C: I didn't complete horse, flier or infantry today but I did pour most of my resources into TT today. Hopefully I can score some wins from Ursula tomorrow.

I was using a guide from youtube by Ventus cause I had all in the team, except my Nino didn't have the attack power needed and I don't have a seal to bust her attack. The team is Palla, Olivia, Donnel and Nino

Hmmm yeah Nino would be my recommendation for a cheap win. She only needs 39 attack and 31 speed to double and kill the green axe user, which should be achievable for any 4* level 40 Nino with a single Hone Attack 3 buff from Olivia. I'd bring Olivia, Fjorm and possibly a healer along as my other units. Once Nino takes out the green axe, I would position Fjorm to tank most of the remaining foes and take them out. A healer might be handy if she takes too much damage; then dance your healer away and allow her to tank more. Her Atk/Def Bond skills means she'd prefer to stand next to an ally, so if it's safe you could position someone next to her.

Yeah I'm going to try again with a a healer, thanks.

i'm running valentines hector, bride lyn, valentines eliwood, and ninian, so i could s-support all my fancy dress people~~ i don't miss having a red unit as much as i thought i would, but we'll see how i feel when it's time to bench hector to farm hero merit p:

also i spent the feathers i reserved for anna to 5* a chrom, so hector could have aether. felt a little bad about it, 'cause i leveled chrom for his confession (since i was also leveling eliwood) and then immediately foddered him off x: "may we ever remain side by side. [...] this bond we've built will last forever." .......... rip first awakening husbando

congrats on the fancy hector!! :3 deidre also pity broke me on the love abounds banner before i pulled hector, i guess she got lost ;>>

[edit] navarre's map is fun! i like it, i'm excited to see the others o:

Just managed my final Ursula clear and all of them were super messy. Only one I beat first try was fliers but even then it was a mad scramble and felt like pure fluke more than anything. The others took four, five attempts each. I'll just post my teams but leave it there haha. If you want any further deets I'll try to elaborate as best I can!

Infantry: Fjorm, Ryoma, Azura & Rhajat Armour: W!Tharja, Amelia, W!Lissa & Effie Fliers: Cordelia, Elinica, NY!Azura & S!Camilla Ponies: Camus, Xander, Sigurd & B!Lyn

- I might bug you for the cavalry strat later, but I don't have enough of the same units for the rest. I dunno how I'm going to do infantry with all those poison daggers. For now, I'm focusing on TT anyway. (I beat it with armour this morning already)

- I've been doing OK with the TT. I've been having no luck with auto battle though. I need Hector to get more SP but in auto battle he never gets close enough to kill things. I put Smite on Ephraim to see if that would help, but nope. he just smites him further away from the enemies in AB.

I just pulled 5* L'Arachel trying to get Valentine's Lyn. My first 5 star horse mage, but she's -att, and in general her stats are kinda shitty. I don't know what to do with her. Res tactic is fun, but she seems like she would be far more useful carrying bladetome on a horse emblem team.

Hi all! I also play this game, it will be nice to have some people to talk to about it!

My current annoyance is trying to get Hector from the pull, and getting an annoying non-focus 5star Sonya killing my pity streak.
