    do they have distant counter? because i shudder to think of facing that.

    hector does, with vantage 2 right now
    zeph has bonfire L +d 3, wary fighter 3 and Hone Armor
    effie is mostly stock, but has 213 sp so i could inherit something on her easily, just didn't know what to put on her, maybe vantage? though that seems not as good without a guarenteed counter

    leaning towards threaten defense

    After 3 casualties I ended up with a 4610 arena run. That's fine enough, time to play around with poverty horse emblem. It's just Xanders, Titania, and Clarine with my Azura and it's interesting to play a team that actually wants to sit there and let them poke at me first. What's that reinhardt? 0 Damage against Titania? Yeah that sounds great.

    i really should figure out what to do with this Nowi. She has good IVs. Was leaning fury/vantage, but quick riposte seems to be the hotness? (I only have Quick Riposte 1 lying around). I also see Triangle Adept mentioned a lot, but it seems like a win more condition.

    This is why I really really want Distant Counter on Titania. She just doesn't care about mages, and it would be amazing if she could poke them back.
    Haven't been able to pick up a duplicate Hector, though, and I'm certainly not burning my first one.

    Triangle Adept isn't win more for her because it guarantees the win over Falchion users. I prefer Fury because it means she can tank Hector despite triangle disadvantage.

    Mine (+spe/-hp) runs Fury and Quick Riposte, she is excellent. Ryoma for additional speed means Lucina still shouldn't double, and Ike is there for falchion backup just in case.

    Triangle Adept is a seriously good skill. The fact that it further reduces the damage you take makes such a big difference.
    That being said, my Nowi's got the typical Fury/Vantage, and I've been very happy with her.

    In one of my failed attempts to get Hector, I got a second Julia. I wasn't interested in changing from my +atk -def Julia, so I fed the new one to her for my very first merged 5 star. Got G tomebreaker on her in addition to her base kit.

    Just rampaged through Tier 14 arena with no deaths - Julia to kill Nino's, lindes, Reinhardt, Nowi, etc, Ephraim to kill reds, Ike (with Luna!) to kill Hectors, and Kagero to clean up messes and assassinate squishies.

    4780 points! Here's hoping it is enough to finish in the top 10k for the first time.

    Did i just accidentally use my leveling team in the Arena on my 7th match because i wasn't paying attention? Of course not! And if i did I'd like to see you prove it. Maybe I just wanted to see what would happen if i won 6 advanced + 1 beginner.

    Anyone have any tips there? No matter what I do, the reinforcements coming from all corners overwhelms me by turn 6.

    When looking at your available quests, there is a circle on the right of the "Quests & Missions" banner (on the left is the red arrow back). Tap that.

    If you've never done that, there are 10 free orbs waiting for you, too.

    Why does it say I have like a thousand points worth of missions completed but I have zero points?

    Also, how the fuck were players ever supposed to know about this?

    Yeah when I linked my account I had issues. All this myNintendo stuff didn't exist the last time I opened a 3DS.

    Looks like the rewards for completing the various missions all expire after 30 days so... screwed there.

    FYI - I wouldn't use L+D on Zephiel, personally. The speed does nothing for him and then you gimp his defense a lot too. I would say Death Blow is best for him, and Fury 3 maybe but that's a lot of HP to lose.

    On another note...just remembered I had an Azama at 4*. I need to level this guy up so he can babysit everyone as they level! Forgot how great Pain is for that, and he's very sturdy with his defense.

    I have ~60 stamina potions I need to use up while this SP bonus event is going on. SP is much harder to get now than XP.

    Also...finally checked the IVs of a 5* Catria I pulled awhile back. -SPD :( I guess I now have Killer Lance+ fodder...

    This might be a bad time to tell you this, but after you choose to go into the arena, and you get your 3 choices of opponents, if you choose "Surrender" it doesn't break your streak, you just lose a dueling sword.

    In the game's defense, it does say exactly that when you click on "Surrender". "If you give up without battling, it will not break your current winning streak." Though admittedly it is a little counter-intuitive to tap the option and then it lets you know the consequences.

    I tend to do this if my 7th streak match suggests a mage team. I usually fare the worst against those.

    ok, skill question.

    working on my hector. he is at vantage 2 and has about 176 sp. I also gave him moonbow as an inherit. do i learn new moon first or wait for enough sp for vantage 3 then go for the special?

    i think I am leaning towards moonbow first but thought I would throw it out here.

    also the youre gonna have a bad day arena team now has Zeph with fury 2 instead of L+D, and Effie with threaten Def.

    Pick up New Moon, then Vantage 3, then Moonbow is what I might do if I was ever lucky enough to pull Hector.

    New Moon and Moonbow both trigger on your second defensive attack anyways when someone picks a fight with you at 100% health (unless someone is slow enough not to double Hector) without any change in potency, so I think the next nice skill increase comes from upgrading Vantage.

    Hmmm... Do the Hector banner which has the bonus to focus pulls and somehow end up with a 5 star Peri (who isn't even a focus hero) :P ok game... I'm not sure if Peri is any good or not, though I guess more 5 stars are always nice

    Yea that was my thinking and ultimately what I did. I just needed someone to affirm me. So now I have moonbow and almost pivot/fury 3 on zeph. However he just hit 40 so not sure how fast that will go.
