    I'm not sure we're getting a halloween banner—it just seems like they'd want to premiere that and have it running at least a week prior to the holiday.

    The Hinoka banner also gave me a 3* Robin. Fortunately I already have a Hinoka from off-focus some time ago, and even though she's -ATK it doesn't matter when her sole purpose is to crank SCamilla and Elincia into murder overdrive mode.

    So fucking salty at the dancer banner. Pity rate up to 4.75% and I just got 3 star beruka and hunter. Worthless. 200+ orbs and not a single dancer.

    On the bright side, my 5 star Arvis with ardent sacrifice and fury 3 is a MONSTER. geez, healing 10 every single round is so powerful. Esp in tempest trials, he just cleans house.

    Pfft. If you're taking damage at all you just need more reposition/hit and run/dance. :biggrin:

    Usually yeah, but I ran into a few fights on lunatic 7 where I was up against multiple mounted casters with like triple overlapping coverage. Thankfully I was able to reposition most people out of it and let Deidre do her magic counter attack thing. Also baited an archer to taking a kill shot on Delthea. Or it would have been if not for miracle being charged. .

    Auto works great with Sigurd, since he's so tanky he just ignores everything except lances...which he laughs at. With TT buffs he's even doubling people, despite having a speed bane.

    Are you going to cringe more when I tell you that she was my healer with renewal, ardent sacrifice, and breath of life seal?

    Deidre and Ayra did the heavy hitting. Delthea's damage was still no slouch, and she still contributed to the fights with drive attack and the dark aura tome's buffs even if she wasn't attacking.

    I think that the it worked out pretty well.

    Nice sounds good for TT. Never thought about how Miracle could work in that context.

    Outside of TT I'd want something else, but I thought that it was nice as an alternative way to negate an enemy attack. She's fragile enough that most physical attackers will "kill" her in one shot, and fast enough that a lot of targets can't double her. The AI can't seem to pass up an opportunity for a "killing blow", so you can pretty reliably peel one attacker to her like a moth to a flame if necessary.


    Also it's part of her default kit and I didn't have sp for anything else :p

    There, Camilla map served me good one last time. I kind of forgot inheriting skills increases their cost and to teach Galeforce to Hinoka costs 750 SP. Yikes. So before it's gone tomorrow (T_T) I was able to grind up enough SP to make this:

    Fury 3. 6 damage every kill, which instantly restores. He can even tank a hit and be fine.

    Still leveling my 4* Arvis just to bank up more SP the easy way before promoting him

    Wondering if I care about Def Ploy or if I should eventually just get him to +2

    Nothing like busting out a calculator to figure out how to kill an enemy with Vantage when nobody can one-shot him.

    Unrelated - after listening to Arden's voice clips, it's totally changed my opinion of the character. I assumed he'd be the vicious brute type, but no, he's just a strong and tough friendly boy!

    So, I've been thinking. And I think guidance seal on brave lance+galeforce Cordelia plus three dancers will break the game.

    So, guess I'm going to start seeing if it's true

    You might be better off with Firesweep and Hit and Run if you're trying to use Galeforce. That way she can still charge into greens without worry, and if she doesn't kill them she'll back off to let a dancer (namely, Olivia or Axzura) jump in with Guidance for the kill.

    Few more pulls on the Dancer banner got me a Performance Inigo, +Res/-Def which is not the IVs I would have chosen but hey

    I did it! Infernal Arvis down! I have three of them now and at some point in the future I'll have a 5*+2 Arvis as healbot supreme!

    Shoutout to some youtuber "sukwindallinrush" who took it down with a 4* Nino (+ATK/-DEF) with an Atk+1 seal, 4* Donnel (+ATK/-SPD), 4* Olivia (+Spd/-HP), and 5* Axura (+Spd/-HP). No SI.

    I did not have precisely those units, most notably Axura and her buffs (which mattered a LOT) and my Olivia has -ATK. However by making use of some SI, I compensated for the lack of buffs and emerged victorious!

    https://youtu.be/ToSSm0BM1zs

    edit:
    Decided to try a random roll on the Performing Arts banner to try my hand at Axura. No green stones. Decided to pull grey. 5* Innes with -ATK stat... I'll take it. Colorless stones can give me much worse. I'll level him up to 40 so that I'm ready if the game ever has a quest for me to do something with 4x archers...or at least I'll have 2 archers ready.

    his skill that gives the stat boost to people he dances might be useful on another dancer, though it would go instead of WoM

    I would say yes. I don't see anything super good on him worth inheriting. Figure out which one has the best IVs and merge to that one.

    Side note, looks like Ursula GHB is back tomorrow.

    To check which two stats will get a +1 boost from the merge...refer here: https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Merge_Allies

    Should always be HP and then the next-highest stat. Based on Inigo's stats...I think he'll get a +1 SPD boost, so worthwhile for sure.

    +1 to whatever their two highest stats were at level 1 (without skills or equipment). Generally HP plus one other one. Then +2 is the next two highest, +3 is the lowest and HP again, and so on.

    I never forgot about Ursula. It's just that she isn't Reinhardt, and at 5* she would be a -ATK IV Reinhardt without the bulk if she took his tome. Although she would be better as a blade tome candidate, thanks to her speed.

    I still use Ursula (whom I promoted to 5* prior to getting and promoting Reinhardt). I mostly use her for baiting, depending on the map. Most challenge maps of some sort don't really let me tank ranged with Reinhardt much, especially mages.
