    I just beat about 5 reinhardts and 6 bow lyns to get 4800 in arena assault. Had to use all 3 items! And even pulled out pieces of shit like 5 star Merric! Lol. Used a special blade and unleashed his growing wind on some fools.

    Is there a way to figure out IVs for units at 40+? I've got a Cherche at 40+1 and I know she's +ATK, but I forgot what she trades for it.

  • OptyOpty Registered User regular
    Assuming it's a 4*, go into the upgrade page and it'll show her level 1 5* stats and you can check that way

    I usually just look at what they are closest to. They will usually only be one or two points higher than non-merged which is typically less than the points spread.

    Apparently each + boosts the two highest not-yet-boosted-stats as they appear at level 1 (looping once they've all been increased starting at +3). One of which is always HP. So you can probably figure it out.

    Phew, the Infernal Robin GHB was harder than I expected. Ended up needing a tactic of BLyn attacks, Olivia dances her and she runs away, Reinhardt attacks, Xander repositions him away, Olivia tanks a few hits, rinse and repeat. Put Breath of Life on BLyn to keep Olivia alive.

    Axebreaker kagero Gogogo! Funny to click her at the start and see check marks on every enemy...

    Man do I miss that exp/sp boost already

    Between that and rerolling the trainer tower you could take basically any unit 4* or higher from 1 to 40 on a single full stamina bar, even with the late 30s slow down

    Sweet - blue tomebreaker fodder! Though I am not 100% sure the best candidates for blue tomebreaker. I have Delthea with Lancebreaker already...but situationaly I might want to make her an anti-blue mage counter as well. Heck...I might even build up Female Robin anyway. I have almost 90k feathers now.

    I'm not sure who I want to put Distant Counter on... Maybe I'll just save Hector for another beast of a Melee character.

    Ohh... What about Effie?

    Blue Tomebreaker doesn't do anything against Dire Thunder, so its use is limited to Blarblade+ off Linde, Olwen and Corrin. Only a few greens have the bulk to handle those attacks; Julia, Fae, the armours, and the Emerald Axes (plus Anna and Sonya, with Fury).

    Otherwise Corrin with summoner support kills 168/168 of units in the game! Huh. Glad I whaled for her.

    A really cool Distant Counter Effie build gives her Berkut's Lance+ to boost her resistance with barely any trade off.

    I prefer Brave Lance and Death Blow for her though.

    There, Infernal cleared... Somehow... So uh, the blue mage one shots Reinhardt, and yet when I thought I had lost because Olivia was left in his path.... She survived with 1 HP.... Hooooooow? Reinhardt was able to kill him only with hone attack, because my Reinhardt is a dumb +SPD one.

    I really wish the game would let you sort by Unit Name. Trying to find a unit in my 100+ units is really difficult.

    Try Origin. If you know what game they are from it works pretty well. All the Fates and Awakening heroes go to the bottom :P

    I actually really don't remember anyone from any of the games, haha. I'm a pretty light FE fan. The last one I played from start to finish was the Gamecube one.

    Ah yeah, then your best bet is probably weapon or movement type. But yeah, name would be a nice one to have.

    My current sort is an advanced sort on favorite - rarity - level :)

    Well, I made my two "best effort" attempts early this morning with my 3x bonus, and that put me within a single auto-battle of my goal for Tempest. So I've finally got a 5* Marth (Mask). Of course, I used a max-level 4* Marth to get there, so now it's a question of whether I spend 20000 feathers to upgrade the one with 1200+ SP, or just level up the 5* one. I've got a lot of other 4*s I'd like to bring up, so I'm leaning toward the latter.

    You could always do both and merge them :3

    ok here is a question.

    i have a lvl 40 3* + 9 olivia. she is +atk/-def

    i just got a 4* +spd/-hp olivia

    is that a better iv? as far as i can tell either +spd or atk is good for her. but i was thnking of giving her a spare wo dao i have, so the spd might be viable.

    if i merge the +9 into the 4* will any of those carry over? i am thinking no since overall the base rarity is lower

  • ShenShen Registered User regular
    Merges do not carry over between the rarity tiers unfortunately, though you'll get a feather discount for promoting the 3*. +Speed is definitely a good pick for Olivia.

    I'm not super familiar with her best IVs, but yeah, you can merge either into the other and you'll get +10 and any skills you taught her. You'll just have to re-level to 40 if you merge into the +SPD one.

    Anyways, I kind of realized today I have been handling arena defense wrong. I didn't realize it took into account the bonus hero like attack does. Whoops. Trying to rejigger my defense team. I think this may work. I had Reinhardt eat a 4* Cain so he now hilariously has Wings of Mercy 3 (honestly, how useful is Lancebreaker on defense anyways?). I also put Female Robin as my lead to bait clicks. YOU WILL PAY FOR UNDERESTIMATING ROBIN! Mwahahaha! (even if she's only used as bait :P) Threw Olivia and Brave Ike there for good measure. Figure Ike will make a nice WoM wall in case Robin can't stand the heat.

    the +9 one is 3*. the +spd one is 4*. I know if you merge the same rarity or higher it adds the mergers so if they were both 4* the result is a +10

    however, I also know that if you merge a lower rarity into a higher rarity you just get feathers.

    i don't want to lose the +9 for a maybe only tiny bit better iv

    Oh yeah, then ignore what I said. I thought the +9 was 4*. You'd lose that.

    I have this strange urge to make a speedy Wo Dao+/Moonbow/Steady Breath unit. If I'm theorycrafting this right, it would do two boosted Moonbows on the enemy phase, which is comparable to Bonfire, but also be fast enough to double on player phase against most units.

  • DuriniaDurinia Evolved from Space Potatoes Registered User regular
    Got my first 4800 (exactly) in Arena thanks to my fully armed (5*) and operational horse emblem, including cavaLyn.

    Now to see if they turn it up on defense.

    I keep seeing references to "horse emblem" and "armor emblem" and such. Is this an actual game mechanic or just a fan name for all-cavalry teams?

    Yes. There are powerful buffs that only work on Horse/Armor/Flier units (ex: Hone Fliers, Goad Cavalry, etc). So the teams generally try to maximize these buffs for huge damage and defense increases

    More specifically, they buff 2 stats at a time, which is enough to make blade tomes completely ridiculous, even before you take the +6 x 2 atk and speed into account

    horse emblem probably wants the hone/fortify ones since those stick around regardless of where you move unless you go deathball ala armor emblem

    Hones don't stack with Hones, though. You can be an even larger doomball with both Hone and Goad (and Fortify + Ward).

    And for more movement flexibility and the ability to max offense/defense you can go with just goad/ward. Armor Emblem with four Ward Armor basically laughs at physical damage. Horse Emblem with full Goad Cavalry isn't as good for bladetomes, but avoids Panic completely.

    Edit: Ooo a new red flier... hmm.... Also I really don't want Oscar, but I want the other two (also weird, 3 person banner...)

    So I guess Nephenee really isn't the TT bonus hero. Odd she was datamined so early. Wonder if they changed plans. Also wonder if that makes Black Knight the bonus hero?

    Oh man, I just rewatched and paused to read the skills. Some good stuff! Nephenee gets both Slaying Lance and her B skill Wrath seems to both accelerate the special trigger and grant +10 special damage if she's below 75%. She's going to be firing off specials like friggin crazy!

    Also um.. I'm super sorry Cherche... But... Elincia has a legendary weapon that is basically Brave Sword with 3 more damage and only a -2 speed penalty and a B move that lets her warp to any flier within 2 spaces.... Oh, and Death Blow 3 baked in. And she's a non terrible red flier... (I think, maybe her stats are garbage). Umm... Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...

    Oscar legit looks like hot garbage, buuuuuuuut he has Lancebreaker 3 and Sapphire Lance. When he inevitably is demoted after this banner, just maybe there will be a non-Narcian 4* source for LB3...

    Edit: Jesus in the video Elincia was quadding a red unit for 20 a tick too. She legit seems broken to me.

    Edit 2: Oh God, someone on Reddit suggested giving Wrath to Reinhardt. THAT would be broken...
