Am I going to get up at 6AM to try and fail getting a free character in a Gacha game?

But that's 6am...

Yes.
I laughed but then I was sad...
Arena is a good way to farm SP IMO. My Roy and Ephraim had a ton of SP from a bunch of Arena matches.
It really isn't enough though. They should definitely make it easier to grind considering that some heroes end up with an excess of SP after learning their native skills and others end up far behind.
I just had a thought.
Galeforce on Ninian. Possible? Worthwhile? Does dancing trigger the countdown?
couldn't get it on nowi due to weapon type
It shouldn't take weeks to get 500 SP. I've gotten like... 600 or so SP onto my Cordelia since the inherit skill feature was implemented.
My terrible sleep schedule redeems itself! I doubt I'll be able to do the hard map but this guarantees me two 3* Michalis, at least
It's the best option at the moment, are do you think there is a better way?

7th stratum and up in he training tower gives you 3 SP for every kill.
I just wish I hadn't blown all my SP on expensive skills that now I don't even use.
Seriously, haha. Looking at you, armor buff on Hector.
8/9/10 stratum costs 9 stamina. Suppose you have three full stamina bars each day to work with and you KO 4 units each match, that's 4*3*6=72 a day. It takes about a full week to gain 500 SP for one character. People complain about IV breeding and EV training in Pokémon. This might be worse.
The inheritance system very heavily favors "raised" units over auto-5*s since the "raised" unit will have hundreds and into a thousand of SP surplus.
...what? Even using the situation you described, you get 15 attempts at 8/9/10. 4 KOs per match is 12 SP (3 SP per KO). That's 180 SP. You'll have your 500 SP in less than 3 days. I think it's sorta unrealistic to get 4 KOs every time, but you can also clear the lunatic stratums much more than 15 times in a single day.
That said, SP grinding right now still sucks and there needs to be a better way to grind it out.

Should I promote her to 5*, or no good?
It's not ideal but you can make it work if you give her Darting Blow and have someone with Hone Speed on hand.
Just to clarify, guys, any buffs on Nino turn into more attack power right? I just realized that my Rally Defense from Eirika overlaps with Ninian's Spur Defense. Thinking of switching to Rally Resistance or something.

I think this is the right idea yea. If you have someone to buff him I am not even sure you need triangle adept 3. Selena gets you triangle adept 2 at 4*.
Lance Breaker is great but I think the down side is the lack of lance users in the meta. Nowi, Robin, Linde, Ninian, Effie (wary fighter) all are not affected by lance Breaker, and azura has such low HP. I would almost go with Sword Breaker just to make sure those reds get erased. I know it sounds like overkill, but there are some high hp-high res reds out there, certainly more than lance users.

Hey how do appearance rates increase?
Is it per summoning session or per summon?
For example does 5 summoning sessions of only one character increase the appearance rate the same as one summoning session of 5 characters. Thank you.
Also you still get the focus movies even if you don't get a 5-star? I got the movie just now for a 3-star Male Corrin.

Oh really? That's cool. That would one shot her. Not that she is much threat anyway. I welcome armor units in arena.
Okay my new plan is to put Fortify Resistance 3 on Ninian from Sophia.
So Nino gets
+3 Attack from Eirika's Sieglinde
+4 Defense from Eirika's Rally Defense
+4 Speed from Eirika's Hone Speed 3
+4 Resistance from Ninian's Fortify Resistance 3
For a total of +15 damage.
Alternatively I can keep Fortify Defense 2 on Ninian and give Rally Resistance to Eirika from Cecilia.
+3 Attack from Eirika's Sieglinde
+3 Defense from Ninian's Fortify Defense 2
+4 Speed from Eirika's Hone Speed 3
+4 Resistance from Eirika's Rally Resistance
For +14 damage more or less the same.
Any thoughts? The latter would be easier and cost less SP but it would be a little (1 point) less damage and I'm also put off by the idea of blowing more SP on Eirika after already learning Rally Defense. Also, Cecilia has a lot of other good skills so it seems like it might be a waste to throw one away for Rally Resistance alone.
Honestly SP is a huge barrier to a lot of what I want to do.

Since Michalis is appearing, that means flying teams are viable again.
I have to do some theory crafting again.
Offense
Palla
Minerva
Catria
<Insert bonus hero>
Palla
Ruby Sword+
Reposition
Moonbow
Iote's Shield
Wings of Mercy
Goad Fliers
Minerva
Hauteclere
Draw Back
Draconic Aura
Life and Death
Desperation
Ward Fliers
Catria
Killer Lance+
Smite
Luna
Iote's Shield
Vantage

Hinoka was fed to my Effie. She was hungry.
Nope. I only Sacrificed a single 4* character even, most of what I have used was a few dupe 3* units to pad out the stats of my Arena defense team. Give Ephraim and Frederick +4HP and Swap, Roy Spur Def 2 and Moonbow, and Olivia Wings of Mercy 1.
I've been running an all/mostly flying team for like the past month and this is what I've been working towards with skill inheritance:
Palla
- Ruby Sword+
- Draw Back
- Moonbow
- Iote's Shield/Darting Blow/Speed +3
- Wings of Mercy
- Goad Fliers
Cordelia
- Brave Lance+
- whatever movement skill
- Luna
- Triangle Adept
- Wings of Mercy
- Goad Fliers
Minerva
- Hauteclere
- whatever movement skill
- Bonfire
- Fury
- Desperation/Renewal
- Ward Fliers
Last slot is for whatever bonus unit. Hone Fliers is good but Goad Fliers stacks and is much easier to position around.
Wait a sec, are you saying the Goad Fliers on your Palla and Cordelia stack to give +8 attack and speed?

I disagree. She's fragile like most makes, but very powerful with high resistance. She also provides up to +8 attack to neighbors.
Yes, they do! You could even run triple Goad Fliers once Michalis becomes a bonus unit lol.
Does Cymbeline actually stack with Hone Attack?
Pics or it didn't happen.
Okay, I never knew combat buffs of the same stat stack.
That's pretty good for Goad Fliers because I like it's 2 space range.

Good for Goad and Ward. A hyper offensive team will end up pretty buff if everyone runs Ward for +12 def/res. Even normally, you could probably keep your forward units always buffered +8 in combat. Being able to ignore all terrain makes it easier to set up as well.
Any ideas for an Assist skill on my defense team oriented Takumi? Pivot? Reposition? Smite?
That's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous.
Y'all talking about your M!Robins and Effies and I just can't wait for arena season to end so that I can get my Nino to 5*.

Got my Shareena to 5* just in time for a completely different game. She has pretty massive stats though so I'm not too worried about how skill inheritance affects her.
She's remains good with her already good weapon and good Rally.
Now she can simply become even better!
So I would make a flying team for arena but that would be a, "once I finish my current team."
My Eirika, Nino, Female Corrin are possible for me to get them to level 50 because I can roll 4* versions of them but, for the flying team Minerva is 5* only so she is very difficult to get.

At least you didn't do what I did and make Anna 5* which was great for about a week until I got Nino.
Isn't Corrin and Eirika redundant?
M!Robin (with all this new triangle adept business) is also so very good to me, as is Vantage Lucina. I know a lot of people think skill inheritance totally broke the game but for me it's breathed new life into it. I love seeing the crazy ass team comps people come up with.
How?
