    I've got weaponless 40 Robin and 40 Navarre in my arena defense team. Hope it helps at least one person.

    Reddit's ok sometimes.

    I kind of hate to say it but I wish they'd slow down with the quests.

    I have had a busy week or so, I just found time to finish Subaki for the Seals quests.

    Oof the grand hero quests are rough.

    Camilla is amazing for the robin map though.

    No idea how you can possibly clear Navarre lunatic with Robin in play though.

    I used this epic strategy for Navarre with Robin. Kagero and 2 dancers ftw. My Kagero is 5* which made short work of this. Robin does nothing but sit there.

    All I've learned from the past few pages is that I need a Kagero...

    important question: if my frobin gets the kill on lunatic navarre and then promptly dies, making me fail the mission, do I still get credit for the quest?

    I should probably just 5* my Kagero. I'm sitting on enough and haven't been able to decide who to boost up...

    Confession time, I have four Kageros

    Two of them are 5*. The other two aren't leveled yet but I am toying with the idea of leveling them, and running an all-kagero Arena Defense team.

    If you don't switch up their weapons I think that falls over pretty easy to, say, Horse Emblem.

    Sure, but you only need 1 good defense win per season.

    I'm having a personal crisis. Zephiel is actually making me not hate armor units. I'm actually considering upgrading him and my 4* Effie and running a team with them and Sheena (already 5*). This is a horrible idea, right? If you asked me a week ago I would have said that i thought all heavy armor units were garbage, they're lack of mobility is too penalizing. This world is crazy.

    Do it!

    I pushed mine to 5* and I've been levelling him with the 5* Effie I pulled while trying to get Nowi on the last banner.

    Moved Draug to 4* and Sheena was at 4* and now it seems like the "all armor" quests will no longer be out of reach.

    Edit

    Oh, and they both ate the +6atk/SPD C skill from Gwendolyn. So Sheena pops the +6def/res and Draug Spurs +4def/res. They're unkillable barring horse emblem.

    I've been having a hard time with getting a defense with the team I have up (Minerva, Reinhardt, Tiki, Azura) for the last couple arenas, I think I might have to do something kinda gimmicky to mix it up, I think.

    I just used today's swords to throw out some defense wins for other people since I already broke 4k for this season and wasn't gonna burn a bunch of emblems for a better record

    I haven't tried it myself, but every other mission seems to not update if you fail the level. Like, if you have a 'kill enemies with red' mission, and you kill someone with red then lose the level, you won't progress the 'kill enemies with red' mission.

    So, I doubt it, I think it's unlikely enough I'm not going to try.

    Well the arena is down currently but I've put up a level 35 frobin and Navarre so hopefully some peeps can finish off some of the quests when it comes back up.

    its weird since some of the new quests still count if the actual unit dies, but you still need to win the mission. while some things you need to stay alive for it to count

    I think it's easier if you look at it from this perspective:

    Actions only count towards quests if you clear the stage.

    The GHB stages require all units to survive to clear the stage.

    So if you're doing a quest that requires GHB, then to clear the stage and complete the quest, all your units must survive.

    If you're doing a quest that you can do in a normal map/training map, then your units can fall in battle.

    Ike seems broke as hell, not so sure about the other ones though. Probably will do a full pull anyway

    ike seems insanely good, and also like the best use of vantage. the others...
    healers are still bad.
    idk if i'm reading watersweep right, it's either bad or very good. i think it's bad? you don't ever followup, but mages get no counterattack?
    titania seems okay.

    i would pull reds on this banner 100%, greens if you don't have any good greens.

    Watersweep is like the windsweep from this current set. You can't counter, and if you meet the conditions, the enemy can't counter either. (and you can't double)

    Managed to clear all of the quests except killing Navarre with Navarre. I need to level him to 40 to really stand a chance there.

    Kagero is pretty good apparently.

    Yeah, but never in the announcement.

    Basically, they are trying to get that hype draw money, you can bet your ass since they started hiding future banners they weren't making as much when the good ones came out.

    Also, I was completely neutral on Ike, but good lord that A Skill is gonna be fuckin GODLIKE on the right Heroes. I...I need multiple Ike's.

    Also hope you pulled on Echoes cause we about to be Distant Counter Emblem(I did, got literally nothing).

    Wooooooooo! Ike, and far sooner than I thought. Hoped to have more orbs at this point, but 115 is respectable I suppose.

    Did some rough spreadsheet math to determine my odds, ignoring any increasing rate due to pity timer (so these are slightly understated). Pulling only red orbs, odds of ike:

    100 orbs - 46%
    200 orbs - 70%
    300 orbs - 84%
    400 orbs - 91%

    Good thing 400 orbs costs only... $213. Hmm... Gachas are evil.

    Hrm, my team as it stands is very much built around Ryoma and his +4 speed buff. I wonder if Heavy Blade + Aether is enough to carry and make the swap.

    I wish they'd display the unit name below the portraits or levels or anything else. As it stands it's really hard for me to find out what units I actually have... Especially because I only know maybe a dozen FE units throughout the entire series.

    There is a 15mb patch up at the moment but nothing is available.

    Did a last minute pull looking for Lukas and hit both Claire and Lukas in the first one. +HP/-SPD and -ATK/+Res respectively.

    I'm looking forward to multiple pulls in a row with no red orbs at all so I have to do a single wasted pull and back out

    I'm thinking I'll drop a bit of cash pulling for Ike. That A skill...wow. I'm sure I still won't get him though!

    Good he comes with Swordbreaker, but he looks like Vantage is just calling to him.

    Though...I already have Ryoma, Marth, Eirika, and Alm for red 5-stars. But Ryoma is -SPD and Alm is -ATK, while Marth is +HP and Eirika is a buffer. So moar sword lords is great right...right???
