valentine's day
Did you use Grani's Shield? Didn't even think about that.
Yeah, I did. Pretty necessary against those 2 anti-cavalry cavaliers.

Used Camus with Grani's Shield and horse emblem. I think Cecilia even tanked a hit from Hawkeye.
So what can I do with my Valter? I am using the original build + desperation so he can work as a physical tank when his HP is high, abusing panic ploy, and then kill squishies when his HP is low. I am thinking of giving him reciprocal aid so he can have an high HP or low HP at will.
I don't think Desperation is a good fit for him since he isn't that fast with 31 SPD. Given that he has good def it's better to give him a breaker (Lance probably works nice) or Quick Riposte or Vantage since he loses HP quickly thanks to his weapon.
Well he gets to 33 with his weapon and 39 with darting blow, so he is doubling a lot. I don't want to give him another A because I will just use him for arena. Maybe if I can pull Elincia and build a fliear team e can be my tank. QP is problematic because he loses HP, Vantage can be good, but I am saving my only vantage 3 for BK.
39 Speed is still not reliable enough for doubling in the arena. I would recommend an enemy phase build with Quick Riposte, Ignis and Fury.
The idea is that he tanks an enemy sword and kills it, and has Ignis ready for the next player phase to kill a second enemy.
It is too expensive. And I lack Ignis and Fury to inherit. Desperation is working well for me so far. But if I do a flier team I will start building him like this.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE RNG GODDESS WILL STRIKE AFTER 80 ORBS
Hinoka is +ATK, -DEF and Elincia is +DEF, - SPD. I think I'll help her out by giving her either Swift Sparrow or Darting Blow.
And now I have all the pieces for flier emblem!!

Finally got a (4*) Effie +atk -spd after five previous -atk or -def with +spd or some such. So Amelia finally has a 5* armor friend. Will save a spot for the Black Knight.

Disgusting. Congratulations!
Just pretend that your -Spd Elincia has a stronger brave sword instead of the wacky power creep shit she'd have otherwise. Give her Life and Death since you have some Def to spare. Should be gravy.
There's so many items in Arena Assault and obviously their use will differ on preferences because of what strength of seven teams that you have.
Eg. I use Elixir, Dancer's Veil and Fear Charm. But something like Lightning Charm would be good to weaken a whole team that doesn't have Vantage or Wings of Mercy.

And then we get Nils for Dragon Valor.

So I just YOLO pulled not really needing anything, maybe going for a better Elincia or very lucky Ryoma or the new blue units.
Ok then.
Ok then.
IS knows how broken dragon emblem will be when we have access to full buffs and everyone has lightning breath.
I still need baby tiki and fae to start my dragon emblem. Also also while fe8 is one of my less fave fire emblem games I am still impatient for myrrh.Contemplating ignis on my +def brave Ike. On one hand a default aether build has more sustain but on the other ignis would let him delete a lot of threats fast enough to not need healing.
I want to build a bad boys flier emblem someday. Purely villains, or antagonist turned allies that are still less than scrupulous people.

I have a total of 38 orbs right now,should I roll all of them or wait until a better event arrive?

These warriors maps look like a great way to level up/SP grind. They appear to give full exp/SP after your first clear as well.
Depends on your current roster really. If you have functional teams for now I'd suggest just doing the free rolls on banners and saving your orbs for the next limited/seasonal event. If you are still newish and need more units for si fodder or in general than pulling is advised though the low orb amount means you're up to the mercy of rng more than normal.

I'm still new,just got into the game a few days ago

If you're new to the game and the hero fest banner (Ike, Ninian, Genny & Julia) is still up, use your orbs there. There is a higher chance to get a 5* off that banner than the others (5% up from 3%) and all the heroes from it are top tier.

I'd say Naga's Tear is the worst, just because it is really unreliable. At least the other items are consistent and can truly be used strategically. Elixir would be second worst, but it's reliable. The other items are really great in various situations, but Pressure Charm is the most versatile Charm (and overall item) in my opinion.
Infantry Boots and Dancer's Veil are almost always useful as well.
Unrelated, but I hate selecting a level 1 version of Hero on accident.

wait,should I just spend all of them in that banner?
BrokenJohnCena

Can't find that banner,is it gone?
Generally, you want to focus on one banner at a time. The pity rate mechanics incentivise stockpiling orbs to spend on a single banner.

Idk man,focusing on one banner is one thing,but choosing the right banner is another story,I don't even know which is the best current banner right now
"New Heroes: Dauntless Crimeans" is the best one at the moment, all three of the focus units are really good. I would suggest you pull on that.

I remember someone saying it was still up for new players last week. It might be gone now. As Shito said above Dauntless Crimeans is the best current banner otherwise.

Karel just broke my pity rate on the Elincia banner for the second time.
Wo Dao+ for everybody!

If you've got a passable full colour spread team that you can use to earn orbs from content up to an intermediate difficulty, it might be an idea to stop pulling for a little while. Most of the statistically best characters in the game that require the least amount of investment (skill inheritance from other characters) to be good can only be pulled as 5* units so if you're going to be pulling you want to skew the odds as closely to guaranteeing that you get a 5* unit as possible. There's also the pity rate to consider, which increases your chance of pulling a 5* unit by 0.25% for each 5 heroes you summon (20-25 orbs) that aren't 5* but only on that banner, meaning that if the banner expires before you pull a 5* that increased rate is wasted.
Try to stockpile around 100 orbs and go on a summoning spree and you'll have a solid chance of getting a 5* or at least some decent 4* units. It might sound like it'll take a while but orbs rack up fast when you're not paying attention and when you get better units there's even more ways to earn them.
Make sure to keep doing Arena and Arena Assault modes every week for feathers and free orbs. Even if you're not placing in the upper echelon due to your team(s), it's something you'll need to get used to and you can use the feathers to increase your best 4* units to 5* to make up for any gaps in your lineup.
While I imagine it'll be tedious if you're newer to the game, if you have a decent amount of time you can grind out the upcoming tempest trial (23rd onwards) to earn the 4* (or even 5* if you're dedicated) version of the Black Knight, who aside from looking badass is also an incredibly powerful unit. You'll also get some feathers, orbs, crystals and sacred seals along the way.

Well I said I was done with the Dauntless Crimeans banner but then orbs popped ups I decided to pull. I get both Nephenee and Oscar. So that completes the triad of heroes for that banner. It also dropped me a 4* Boey and Athena so definitely a good pull of 20 orbs. (The 3* Lissa is forgettable)
Nephenee....+atk/-spd
Oscar...+spd/-atk
WHY AM I GETTING BANE/BOON OF THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT STATS?!
Suffice to say I'm done with pulls till the next major banner.
