Watching auto-battle jerk my team around the map with dances, WoM, and repositions, I think I'm going to change my arena defensive team to this one on account of how much I'd hate to face such an unpredictable team.
It's annoying to go against reposition and drag back shenanigans AI but they don't actually do anything effective with it.
The stuff to watch out for is dancing + WoM AI, because it actually factors that stuff in when determining attack order and will aim for a kill regardless of cost.
Against some players looking to move up with a flawless set, killing a single unit is probably enough to make them just surrender so they can start over.

So I just noticed that the guidance icon is the hand of God, and I kinda love it.
18k score thus far, I plan on having the seal tomorrow.

That guidance seal is going to make armor emblem absolutely murderous.

I was just thinking this today. Put it on Amelia and suddenly your whole team could potentially move two spaces per turn (depending on positioning). At worst, it gets someone next to her again for Armor March to continue to trigger next turn should she get separated.
Well, after my first run on the dancer banner was filled with 4.25% suffering broken by a single Camilla, I made it back up to 4.25% and got Lilina...and Axura! +SPD/-DEF, too, which looks to be one of her best spreads.
Not sure if I want to throw remaining orbs at Ayra or try for any other limited time dancers now that I'm freed of chasing green.
Also, TT, Seliph being the lead of this and yet not a bonus unit is just one more shameful notch in his column of uselessness.

This continuous auto is salvation for TT. I don't mind going through a few times a day, but it gets old pretty quick in addition to being a time sink if you're constantly trying to tackle the highest difficulty.
I'm hoping they release a new "Heroes with X skill" banner that doesn't include Hinoka. Otherwise I have to make a difficult choice, which is to chase the last piece of flyer emblem I want, or limited Halloween units!

In before "Heroes with Hone Fliers"
Edit: Oh... Or how about just "Heroes with Hone Skills?" You've got Hinoka in there... Gunter, and.... Gwendolyn Heck, let's even throw Female Corrin in there to be extra evil. Just in case Oscar and Eldigan weren't troll enough :P
Well I got home from work and started playing tempest trials for the first time. I was trying my hand at the hardest difficulty setting and things were working out great so far. Three matches in with no casualties and everyone's scratches were topped up by Delthea's supporting healing. Then I see the maintenance warning. Is this gonna spoil my run and waste my multiplier, or will I get to pick up where I left off? I'd be fine replaying the previous map since it was various sword and spear infantry marching into range of Delthea and Deirdre.

There should be a bookmark that lets you pick up where you left off.

This Trial is a far cry from the last one, where I ran Ike, Nephenee, and Titania in their super saiyan forms. At least Arvis turned out to be good. And the team's healing is amazing, basically overkill. The problem is we occasionally get nuked in a single turn.
Also, I'm not sure whether it's better to focus on one Sacred Seal at a time or level up a bunch of them to level 2 or whatever.

I've been moving the key ones to level two - panic ploy, attack smoke, atk, spd, distant defense. I think the cost/benefit of moving to third level at this point just isn't there yet. I anticipate that mudflation will take place with the coins - just like we saw with feathers.
I've actually been finding this one a lot easier than the last one. Julia is a hell of a lot easier to take down than BK, and it feels like the other final map people aren't as ridiculous as well

Arvis does well here it seems. So it is nice they gave us a pretty good GHB hero who is seemingly well suited for the next TT!

This trial is easier, I got pretty much to the last map with my first team (Sigurd, Cordelia, Brave Ike, Azura) also I don't necessarily know that I give a fuck about Arden though
Ayra really should have been the tempest trial character, and I say that as someone who has Ayra (Though her IVs aren't the best)
I've said it before, but Sigurd is what Seliph should have been, and I get even more sad over how shitty Seliph is now
Ugh. Got my 6th and 7th off-focus 5* from the dancers banner. Still haven't got any of the new dancers, but at least one of those off-focuses was Ninian.
So having reasonably good luck on the lunatic 7 battle TT.
Cant auto battle it, but I can reliably finish it with a single team right now. Still working on the SP for Ayra and Shigure, but its working nicely so far.
Ayra
-Ayra's Blade, Repos., Regnal Astra, Swift Sparrow 2, Desperation 3, Threaten Spd 1, Phantom Speed 1 Brave Ike
-Urvan, Repos., Aether, Steady Breath, Beorcs Blessing, Threaten Def 3, Distant Def 2 Brave Lyn
-Mulagir, Repos., Moonbow, Swift Sparrow 2, Sacae's Blessing, Atk Smoke 3, Quickened Pulse Shigure
-Dancer's Score, Sing, New Moon, Darting Blow 2, Geyser Dance 1, Breath of Life 2, Breath of Life 1
Im really liking Healer Shigure as support for TT. 1 attack and right now he heals 15 hp of everyone adjacent to him. plus he's a singer.

Definitely need to get a +3 Spd seal to rehabilitate my Ayra's -Spd IV, I think
She's not exactly in a bad place without it, but there are definitely a few matchups where it helps
That is 3/4 1/2 the same team I use to flawlessly autobattle Hard 5, and doing just that with a single refresh potion each day will make me reach probably 110k if I do it everyday with all my stamina.
For a moment I skimmed over Brave Lyn as Brave Lucina. I feel like infantry are more auto friendly as they tend not to ridiculously overextend.
This TT is giving me a whole new appreciation for Wings of Mercy 3. When auto battling in these kinds of endurance modes where a unit (or units) might conceivably be at low health for several maps, it is hilarious to see Black Knight teleporting around the map deleting units.

I really hope that he's made available again someday because that sounds amazing and I want in on it. Until then I'll have to make due with Arden, who also seems really good but is less badass looking.

I hadn't really been playing for awhile, so glad someone poked me right before the BK tempest trial ended, was able to squeeze out enough to get the 4* copy at least
Now I'm just waiting for my boy Xander to come back around
One casualty. I was too accustomed to the AI teams just passing the turn until I got into range and didn't expect them to all make a move on me at once. I tossed Ninian into Julia's line of fire to draw her away from striking my more lethal units. Julia could not resist the bait.
Now to do it again.

I wish the 3x bonus wasn't restricted to your first runs of the day. I've got time in the morning for one lunatic 7, but not 2, which means I can't auto-battle until I clear another lunatic 7 at lunch.
I guess I could get up earlier.
Every day for 2 weeks.

Well, dumped a bunch of orbs into the dancer banner on only green orbs trying to get an Azura or Inigo
You'd think, "Ok, we're gonna send the swordsman forward to get the kill and then Ninian will dance them to safety. OH WAIT, Ninian is gonna get the kill and then get repositioned to safety. RAAWRH"

At this point I don't even understand it. I mean they've literally given out two insanely OP heroes for free lately in Black Knight and now Arden. Even Arvis is pretty great. I guess Armor Emblem isn't a meta-destroying thing or whatever, but honestly, horse emblem isn't thaaaat big of an issue. It's 100% just the Reinhardt and Brave Lyn parts of horse emblem that are the issue. Xander dies to blues pretty easily, especially if they have swordbreaker.

Anyway the real problem, as someone who doesn't have any Armor March, is getting him to be the one to initiate combat
