    From the "people with too much time on their hands" department, here's a video of Genny soloing the Oliver GHB Infernal:

    I'm not sure I'd consider bringing three healers "soloing" :P I think my Genny could solo crap too with dedicated healers :P She does good damage and can refine for dazzling to not take counter attacks (though he just has a normal Absorb+ staff not refined... guess he didn't want to spend the refining stones :P). Honestly she's been saving me a lot as I go through these chain challenges. The real reason she shines is the colorless damage - rarely enough to outright kill someone, but she doesn't take decreased damage from anyone really since she's outside the triangle. Especially if you can pair her with a dancer, I was finding she could two-round a lot of troops. Also helps her default staff is Gravity+ which is super amazing (that has ALSO been saving me in chain challenges thanks to slowing down units with type advantage over my already-used heroes)

    He just set the other healers up behind her (with no buff skills) to show off - they didn't do anything.

    He went with an extremely tanky Genny build. He gave her Miracle as her special, but didn't actually ever need it with Absorb+ and her crazy defensive stats.

    Hoping to get Myrrh tomorrow, and now I realize I have the makings of a fun dragon emblem already. No ninian, but I have an as yet unused young Tiki (+def -res), a 5 star Nowi with refined breath (+-spd -HP), and NYAzura to make sure Myrrh gets a Hone too!

    I mean, the level 1 tiki needs a lot of work. But i'll dive in if I get Myrrh.

    Ahh I didn't watch too much of it, looked like he was going to use them.

    One of my goals right now is to put together a dragon emblem, though I'm still really debating on red. I have both Young Tiki (with I think not great IVs) as well as like a bazillion 4/3* Adult Tikis. So it's like, do I build a +10 Adult Tiki or do I just run with Young Tiki who requires so much less work, but probably won't get too many merges (I think she's +1 right now)? But I still have to build everyone else up too. I want some Steady Breaths and such for Nowi and whoever else. Plus Aether (I have the Chroms but not the feathers to promote them). And I do have a Ninian, who should probably be part of it, but I don't know what to do with her either :P

    Edit: I checked, Young Tiki is +1 and she's +SPD/-ATK which is the bane I thought she had. I believe both of them I pulled were -ATK :/ (the other was like +HP/-ATK or something even more terrible)

    Yeah, my dragon emblem team I'm currently running is Young Tiki, Fae, Nowi, and Ninian. Fae and Nowi have refined Lightning breath+, but I still haven't gotten around to getting Lightning breath onto Young Tiki. I'm gonna go hard for Myrrh, but I'm kinda sad that I'd probably have to put Fae on the bench to do it. I like Fae.

    Yeah same. I don't exactly regret giving Fae refined Lightning Breath+ as she's still a very solid hero for Arena Assault, but wish I hadn't also wasted the other refine on her refining the wrong weapon :P

    Maybe Myrh will have garbage Res and we'll need to keep using Fae to check The Reinhardt.

    True, good point. Its not like I'm getting rid of Fae. And from her weapon/abilities, it seems that Myrrh is gonna have high defense. So, who knows?

    I suspect this will be the case honestly. It's just that I don't particularly plan to use my dragon team in arena so I don't need to necessarily check The Reinhardt :P

    Also yay, +10 Robin is done. I got up to 38k feathers and figured close enough and merged the last one. Then I sent a bunch of dudes home in preparation for the banner tonight and got up to 20k anyways :P

    but wouldn't the windsweep on her weapon stop the double so there is still a good chance that myrrh will survive The Reinhardt?

    I'm currently running the following on my Ninian(+ATK/-RES)
    Lightning Breath(SPD)++
    Dance
    Moonbow
    Triangle Adept
    Swordbreaker
    Fortify Dragons
    Quickened Pulse

    Although I don't think I'm entirely sold on the seal. I might swap it out for Hardy Bearing so I have an out to deliver a few points of damage at least against targets with Vantage.

    I'm using her in on my Arena offense Dragon Emblem team. She's fast enough to double W!Tharja naturally, and I went with swordbreaker because I found myself in more situations where I wanted to bait and KO a sword unit than situations where I would have found Wings of Mercy useful.

    I still get a kick every time Ninian kills a Black Knight.

    I'm at over 200K feathers just in case Nephenee ever becomes a 4*... or simply waiting for a good +6-10 to show up. Maybe Adult Tiki if I ever pull enough of her.

    That's probably close to what I have. Mine has just the normal Light Breath+ but I'd probably give her Lightning Breath+. And I don't think she has swordbreaker. The rest is probably the same tho.

    She's going to get permadoubled though.

    New Eirika will make a swanky bladetome with decent attack and good spd.

    With neutral stats and base kits all around, there's only like 6 heroes with enough defense and speed to naturally double her. Throw in a DEF boon or fortify/ward fliers/dragons or one of the seals on, and she's going to be looking at a sea of single hits.

    I spent a lot but got all three. I got Myrrh super early but with a gross -ATK bane. Managed to pull a second that was +SPD/-HP which seems ok. Pulled two L'Arachels, first was something lame (+HP/-RES I think) but second was +SPD. Took foreeeeeeeever to get Eirika (seriously, one circle was all red and she still wasn't in it). Finally got her just before giving up. Honestly most of the money I spent was trying to get her :/

    Also got a lot of random pity breakers. Olwen (-SPD but seems better than my -ATK one so I think I'll merge that into her), another Fae (ha), a Titania (garbage IVs but my current Titania gets to be +1 now. I actually use her a ton in Arena Assault), a dumb Merric, and surprisingly a Katarina. Her IVs are garbage but I already have a +SPD/-DEF one. Can't decide if I merge this into her or save for fodder (Swift Sparrow and Ploy Attack.. hmm....)

    Well, did not get Myrrh. Disappointed.

    I did however get a Mia pity breaker. IVs, you ask? Minus speed, of course! At least she has +atk. Only way I can think to salvage her is with Fury 3 plus heavy blade seal. Yaay for abandoning cool prf skills...

    I pulled the rest of that summon and got new Eiricka, my least wanted new unit. Haha. She is +-spd, but of course -atk. Way I figure, a bladetome would make her a monster. With swift sparrow and cav buffs she would have 48 speed on initiation.

  • Dr. FlamingoDr. Flamingo 49 Gilded Disc Perceives the Sun Registered User regular
    It took all my orbs, but now I have Myrrh. +Atk/-Def continues my trend of good boons and annoying banes. I'm just happy she came home, but never forget how quickly you can go back into orb poverty. I guess that's not really an issue (hopefully) with the Trials and other events happening soon...

    Took me 130 orbs, but got Myrrh! -res/+hp. However I now have hone dragons!

    I have refined breaths for Nowi, Ninian and Young Tiki, and I’ve been working on Sheena, now 5*+4, so figured that was enough justification to spend all my orbs to chase green.

    Once again, I probably can’t do anything with the legendary banner.

    Missing out on the next few banners could either be fine or really harsh. If the Tempest Trials banner has Lute, then I'm missing out. But there's several Sacred Stones characters to fill that slot and Ephraim will probably be there anyway...

    Then there's the Legendary Banner. I went all in on the first one to great success but skipped the second. Between the HM cap boost and all the mini trials, my need for roster-filler 5-stars has never been lower. But Brave Ike is due to show up on a legendary banner inevitably, and I need Steady Breath... Plus Summer Corrin could show up, and I'd love to get some merges. And once again, there's Lute...

    As for the anniversary stuff, who knows!?

  • AcheronAcheron Registered User regular
    Anyone else psyched for Lyon and Marisa? Marisa has fantast art and infantry pulse! Lyon has good art too and seems to have a legendary raven tome. I still don't have a red raven, and one with more might and better animation sounds excellent.

  • TransporterTransporter Registered User regular
    I was real worried this banner would destroy my paltry 100 saved f2p orbs.

    Free pull is a -HP/+Res Myrrh.

    I am no longer worried

    Also that's my first free pull banner unit EVER. Closest I ever got was, ironically, Miciah on the last banner coming in my first 5 orbs. Before that I was cursed, as on the last leggo banner I got zero 5*'s in 150 orbs.

    I got a good Eirika almost immediately, but then spent a lot of orbs trying to get either of the other two, only to eventually be pity broken by a Ninian. Oh well. I guess I can debate if I'd rather +Atk or +Spd on Ninian.

    Really surprised to see Marisa having Infantry Pulse. Makes me think she might get the Joshua treatment; I like them both quite a bit, but other characters want those skills.

    Eirika a red cavalry mage, and the only other option there is Leo and he has awful offense stats. Eirika is slightly lacking in attack but that's irrelevant, she has Swift Sparrow, Desperation, and can take a blade tome. Her speed's already at a good spot.

    Myrhh is silly it seems.

    The psychology of the free units is funny. If all were on banners, I would probably want Leon just as much as Myrrh. And Marisa would be second, above Ericka and LArachel. But since the 2 are free it is easy to take them for granted and just fixate on the evil gacha for whether you feel satisfied with the outcomes.

    Got Myrrh in the starting 5 pull! -Def +HP, and Def is the -4 bane so I'm like 5 in a row now for landing the big bane, and her wanting 5 Def over enemies just makes it a little bitter. Still happy though as my green line up could still use more padding; fury and Def dragon buffs should be enough to make up for the bane while I continue hoping one day a neutral IV potion comes.

    Hmm, should I just consider using lightning breath? Maybe the steady stance from the starter pack BK?
