Man, DD + DD seal Xander is exactly what I was hoping he would be.
Edit: I'm at 10 successful defenses this period. I've never seen that many before.
Poor Celica :bigfrown: She is my S summoner support!
I might have kept her but unfortunately I played SoV and hated her in her own game. I also have Nino and Tharja for Blade Tome and Sanaki for High res requirements. Maybe if she was a blue tome user...

Damn, I just spent my last Roy, but then decided I wanted to try and make Female Robin into a Gronnraven user. Which means I no longer have good Triangle Adept access
Down from 100 orbs to 40 with no one to show for it so far. If I go through a few summon sessions with nothing I take a break from pulls.

Hooray a +spd -res Nephenee
I really want an elincia though, I was just able to do the armor emblem quest for the first time this month which leaves the flyer emblem quest there just taunting me
And my very next pull is a +atk -Res Elincia, woo!
To merge the first, or use for inheritance?
Elincia's only unique skill is Flier Formation, and I don't think it's so much better than Hit and Run or Drag Back that it's worth putting on your other fliers, especially with all the bow Lyns around, since it can leave you overextended.
Used some of my spare feathers to promote an Athena and gave her Wao Dao+ to Olivia.
I don't really have many unique four stars to promote up, unless I want their skills. Thinking about bumping Mathilda to give her cancel affinity to Cavalyn since I've noticed a resurgence of TA Raven tome users recently.
I need them to separate the lock function from the favorites function because I want to lock some of these units so I don't accidentally lose them for whatever reason but then I have actual favorites I would like to populate the very top of my list.
Wonder if we are ever going to see infantry only buffs.
I wouldn't think so. I see the specific buffs as a way to offset the penalties of the types (armor and cavalry for limited movement, birds for weaknesses to fliers). But who knows!

It might make infantry too useful?
Always felt like their (non-infantry) strengths were already good enough to cover their penalties (trees, 1 MV, bows) without throwing super-buffs on top.
Right now it's to the point where the only infantry that ever makes it to higher difficulty content at the moment are dancers, blade tome users, quad bows (now dethroned by Lyn) or someone filling a niche roll they don't have a pony/armor available to fill instead.
Considering the likes of Infantry Pulse and Guidance, and Wrath not being inheritable by flyers or cavs, it seems like they are trying to improve infantry without releasing "Hone Infantry"-type skills. Which I definitely appreciate, since that kind of team is already stale. They haven't pulled it off yet, though.
4,908 demotion marks an end to 5 weeks in T20. Calling it because I won't stay in next week anyway because of no armoured/Bike bonus units, I'll rebound when TBK comes out.

I think I've decided my next project is gonna be to turn Female Robin into a Gronnraven Lyn killer. Brave Lyn is just getting way too common and I need more ways to deal with her for the literally every arena assault mission she's in (it's worse than Reinhardt). Of course, stupid me, I ate my last Roy just to get Ninian TA3 I'm hoping I'll pull another. In the mean time I can farm some SP and get ready to promote a Cecilia though...
TBH, part of me wants to merge all my Female Robins together, but that is a longer term project
Only project left for me at the moment is to level up and promote Alphonse. He is currently 3* but I already gave him defiant defense and brash assault to work on and pair with his own 5* sword because SOMEONE has to use those skills.
There is always the option of going crazy and sacrificing my only BIke to Nephenee for the steady breath, although I would throw the 4* Black knight at her first for steady stance so that she can then take steady breath and aether.
I'm hoping the coins or whatever we get from arena assault lets us buy skills to avoid such a fate for poor Bike.

Fury Nephenee
Summoner Support Nephenee
Enjoy your new god.
There are two ways; both get the summoner support she deserves.
Ugh, I've probably gone through 30-something fights, and I just can't get a deathless streak with all these bowlyn and brave ike teams. I guess for the first time in months, I'll just have to fall out of the 4 orb range
Lemme tell you, my +Res TA Raven Boey is doing WORK in this new arena meta. He takes down Lyn and Reinhardt easily, my Celica cleans up Bike, and after that who cares? So worth the investment.
I used to be able to hang in tiers 19-20 with 4810 points. Not this week! I am ranked nearly 12000 and will head to tier 18. Still 4 orb territory which is great, but bow Lynn and Bike have really made a difference.
Yeah, with that res/spd and no distance counter/vantage, he's mage meat. His only defense is panic ploy and if that doesn't land, even some red mages can kill him without much help.

The border must be really tight—4824 moved me to 20 today.
So I've discovered that leveling is far, far easier if you do it one character at a time. I've been taking a max level dancer/healer/attacker and the unit to be leveled and just spamming tower refresh until I get a map that's mostly advantage units. Olivia gives extra turns, Sakura heals chip damage, and Cherche picks off any off-color dangers.

Yeah. For me leveling is either a careful explosion of experience for a 1-2 units with dancer/healer support OR a bunch of auto-battling with a full team. The key to spamming auto-battles is to have the fully upgraded castle for EXP rewards and to just fight things that you over-level. Works great for 1-20 for inherit and merge fodder.
The four-man group is good for grinding while doing cooking or something. Queue up a battle, let them fight it out, come back two minutes later when I have time and set up another one. Slow and steady.
I wish I had a reason to use all these crystals. If I'm just leveling someone to promote for SI, then I only need to get them to 20, which crystals can't be used for, only shards. If I'm leveling someone past 20, it because I'm going to actually use them and thus I'll fight to get the SP from kills.
Edit: Well, I guess I could use them to unlock the 5* level 40 comments for units I'm not going to use.

I use the crystals for 4* units I may need. They always have more than enough SP for the partial sets and if you're planning on promoting getting the extra SP from going to a level 40 4* is handy for any inherited skills.

Hm, I have exactly two Lukas, one's +Atk/-Res and the other is +Def/-Res. I wonder which one I should build when I finally get around to him...
And leveling up a single unit is a pretty quick process. My leveling team is Olivia + Azura + Elise/Weapon Valor unit. It takes maybe 30 minutes to get them into the 30's? I might be underestimating just a little.

I mostly use them for missions that require kills with a specific character. Beat a level 35 FRobin with FRobin? I don't want to level her, so I do it with crystals.
Ike/Soren/Titania/Mist are half of the tempest trial bonus units.
The other half is the nephenee/elencia/oscar banner, and Black Knight

I've been trying to pull some more reds in the hopes of getting a Roy, but no dice so far. In the process I did get a second Nephanee, +SPD/-ATK so I merged her into my other one. not Somehow getting Tharjas, but every one is -ATK somehow. I just want one perfect IV Tharja that I can promote and merge into my bad IV 5* one... Bleh.
With the arena feathers I did promote Cecilia for Robin to eat :P Need to farm more SP for Gronnraven+ though (and eventually TA3 if I ever pull that Roy)

I did just get a Celica...Might just have to try this. I don't have the DD seal though.
Edit: or maybe save it for Black Knight..

Fury Moonbow / Bonfire + QP Nephenee
and
Aether + Steady Breath + QP I'm-going-to-blow-through-this-Tempest-FIGHT-ME-BK Nephenee.
I'm out of Hinatas though and spending 20K on fury always feels so awful.
Theme teams being brainlessly effective doesn't make infantry incompetent.
And Alphonse I guess
holy shit
Yea, killer weapons with Steady Breath means Bonfires on every counter. He's like BIke with a worse showing against mages but more special damage.
