    I just now realized that your Arena score is the highest score from a single chain. I thought that after you completed a chain then the next chain adds to the total score.

    "Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse
    new seal that reduces your Special's charge by 1 only at the start of the match"

    Um. Pretty bananas? Lethal on someone like Minerva, and no slouch on the Moonbow Quick Riposters either.

    Yeah, it seems pretty darn good. At a first glance, I thought it was straight up makes anything a killer weapon, but even if its just at the start of the match, it seems really good.

    Suddenly want to try getting some use out of Galeforce again. It always felt like it was really powerful, but just a touch too slow to be reliable.

    Lucina? Like, awakening Lucina before reveal.

    Whew. Camus lunatic cleared after a couple attempts to manipulate things. Finishing Xander (mostly) helped a ton since +10 def/res let Titania shrug off the bait round. AI manipulation to split them up a bit and I was able to safely drop Camus with Titania (danced to reach), and Xander cleaned house.

    Olwen didn't do much besides soften up Camus - the red mage died to Siegfried counterattack, but Ward Cav was useful several times.

    PSA: I just heard about an epic Hero Merit farming method.

    The second Kozaki Yusuke trial map can be farmed by 2 strong blue units on Normal. You can load up 2 other units you want to farm HM for and go to town with auto battle.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/6fdlnm/full_page_of_2k_hero_merit/

    Only two days left, but since its a 5 stamina map that is really efficient. I'm going to try to get me some HM! Just remove the weapons from the two non-blues so they don't engage and let your blues go nuts. Camus and Effie for me.

    Also, major tier list update: http://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Inheritance_Tier_List

    Bridelia's coming along nicely. She's now packing a Brave Bow+, Rally ATK/SPD, Life and Death, and is now working on Swordbreaker. All I've got left for her current build is Hone DEF.

    But I'm not done! Since that build is mainly for running alongside blade tomes, I felt that it was a bit of a waste to have her ridiculous stats sitting on the bench at other times. I'm gonna throw Ardent Sacrifice/Desperation/Threaten DEF on her, too, so she can run solo.

    Maybe Breath of Life, if the BoL Sacred Seal stacks with it. Constant AOE healing for 10 HP sounds like a great way to back up a team of QR users.

    I mean, the inheritence tier list only really has three things to consider:
    Weapon Type
    Base Stats
    Unique Weapon (if any)

    Those are the only things you can't just add to a character at will.

    I like the idea, but even with no weapons equipped my randos are moving forward and getting hit by Wrys. This means I can't take along lv1 idiots, because they'll get taken out.

    It still works, sure, but the auto-battling is just too stupid to make it perfect.

    Est is just as good as Cordelia and Hinoka. Just much more expensive to build since doesnt come with brave lance+. But i dont see much point to her hehe. Unless you have a lot of Abels and Donnels around and now Cordy or Hinoka.

    It's meant as a guide...not the be all, end all.

    You want to take lvl 40s anyway bc they will earn maximum hero merit of 4.60. My guys can auto perfectly...just takes a couple seconds for each run. Maybe not the most efficient use of stam pots but i have over 60 and need dem feathers. Plus, effie needs SP so this is slowly doing that!

    Back over 20k feathers. I'm trying to resist using them to give Linde a blade tome, but I'm not sure I'm strong enough.

    For business reasons, I must preserve the outward sign of sanity.

    Damn, I didn't notice that lower levels meant less HM. That's unfortunate.

    Est is great but she can't seem to take a hit.

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    I only just realized that after trying to raise some low levels and finally not skipping through the HM gains at the end of battle. Wasted a fair bit of stamina.

    Hee hee.

    Started a new game on Echoes and got a Star Jacinth for both Alm and Celica before even starting their first story fights. At the end of Act 1, Alm as a Fighter at level 15 had over 40 Hp, and halfway through Act 2, I think Celica might end up being unkillable because Priestess with a Star Jacinth is getting regular increases to RES as well as DEF.

    Yeah this is the best pull I've ever had. I still cannot believe it. The two brides were the first two I clicked even, and then I ran out of orbs so I did spend a little actual money to pull the rest, which was apparently worth it. I must have spent like 100 orbs on the Ike banner and got all crap.

    Edit: Looks like Ike is +DEF/-RES, not the worst. Lyn and Caeda are both +DEF/-HP

    Ah, yeah. Definitely running Lyn for it. I have her mostly done for crippling/poking.

    The hyper offense and such needs to dial back a little still though.

    Now I want arena to run endurance style like this, because that would make dancer or healer an actual choice again (ha ha no, Azura/Ninian plus healer).

    As is dancer alpha strikes are the way to go.

    Yeah, my Spring Camilla is setup with Fury 2 so she heals all the damage she takes :P (she can learn Fury 3 but not enough SP for it yet). Makes her great for just about everything since she is so tanky, and ranged, and does a lot of damage

    Edit: Dang, Ike is already legit crazy. I only have him up to 29 but like, blue units will attack him and his counterattack will murder them. It's nuts.

    QR2 is fine. So 4* subaki should do the trick. The 20k isnt worth it to go to QR3...better uses for those feathers.

    That's true for most slow, tanky QR users, but I'd argue that for ones capable of self-healing the QR3 might be worth it to make sure it goes off as much as possible, since they can have it trigger more than once per match.

    Hell, I might replace Nowi's Bonfire with Noontime for that reason.
