Hmm. Deciding who to promote between Frederick and Alfonse.

The only green melee cavalry I have at 5* is Titania, who is specialised in counter-magic rather than melee, so Frederick looks like a good bet to keep rounding out my options a bit for Arena Assault etc.

On the other hand, I've been meaning to promote Alfonse for ages as he keeps popping up in quest prerequisites etc, but I've got loads of red swords already, and don't even use half of them. I think I'll go for Fred, he's pretty cool.

 

[Roman]

After promoting all three starters I don't even care to look at the seasonal bonus lists anymore.

This is why I want to promote the Fonz, I've already upgraded Anna and Sharena, the latter of which has been really useful.

I ran into a full armor team with Amelia. Legitimately terrifying. Had to take out Amelia first like some JRPG boss type of shit. She even had Bonfire on QP so the first counter attack it was loaded up. Managed to take her out of the equation then it was time take out Hector, Zeph and Effie. I forgot to mention, they all had distant counter! Had to let Alfonse wear down Zephiel so Delthea could finish him off then I had Julia get nearly completely knocked the fuck out by Effie distant counter. I take out Zeph and reposition everyone out of the way of Effie. Meanwhile Hector is going back and forth like a hyena waiting for his moment to jump in. Everyone was just about dead except for Delthea by the time I take out Effie. All that's left is Hector. Alfonse is the at the highest health at 14 so I have no choice but to send him out to Hector praying this merged behemoth doesn't hit for enough to take out Alfonso. He hits for 10! Alfonse blows him up sky high and the battle is won! Man that was a head scratcher and I just made it by the skin of my teeth.

Then on the next map Tana-banana Guidance BS flew someone across the map (which I survived initially) then Wings of Mercy Ninian flys in to fuck shit up even more. RIP

You made the right choice.

 

[Scum]

I can see why IntSys put out such a GHB. But I'm patient. Still a few good days to go...

 

[Semajer]

This Infernal GHB is killing me. It might be possible if all my brave bow units weren't -attack. I've seen a guide online that I think I can build but I'll need to 5* two units.

Huh? Who do you have? You definitely don't need a 5*, a 4* Gordin can do it. I went with takumi+regular brave bow (posted build on the previous page) and it was actually overkill. It's possible you have some helpful SI like a spare Hawkeye for Death Blow 2, or an extra Cherche for Attack+3. Add the attack+1 seal and you could make a lot of units work.

I thought I only had a -attack Gordin and Klein, but I pulled a -spd +HP 4* Klein a week ago, and had forgotten about him. I was planning on following this video, but I'll try levelling up the Klein and seeing if this strategy works.

 

[Mupod]

I gave up trying to follow strategies other people used due to how finicky the AI is regarding what units it moves toward. I couldn't tell you what I did other than the general idea. My strategy made sense to me, most of the top reinforcements are fliers and can be soloed by an archer. The really problematic enemies all come from the bottom, and those were causing my wipes with my other teams. The armor guy seemed to be chasing my archer, so as he wandered up top I had lots of time to clear out the bottom with a strong desperation/blade tome mage and some dancers. Since they spawn on the player turn, I was free to instantly dogpile them.

A quick look shows I did something similar to the 4* video, but Takumi was able to handle everything up top as it spawned (until the red mage arrived).

 

[Sushen]

Finally, beat the infernal Valter, after 6-7 tries, with double dancers, Bridelia, and Reinhardt, my biggest fire power team. The key was to use Olivia with TA to tank and kill axe cavalry, and I had to play aggressive to reduce enemy units early on to keep it manageable such as Bridelia taking out righthand side archer early on which almost costed her life. Then, WOM dancers could move her around freely.

Still, the MVP of the match was Olivia. Azura could tank the red armor unit pretty well as well.

 

[Akuun]

While fun, it seems my flier team doesn't seem to quite cut it with the infernal battle without a dancer. Everyone needs to stay in certain spots to maintain flier buffs or else they're unable to oneshot units that they need to for the next turn.

From strategies I've looked up, there's one video where a guy just brings Gordin with three dancers, and it actually works lol.

 

[Sushen]

If a unit has TA and ruby sword, do they stack?

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

If a unit has TA and ruby sword, do they stack?

Yes, both ways.

 

[Muramasa]

If a unit has TA and ruby sword, do they stack?

no, they do not:
https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Triangle_Adept

Triangle Adept does not stack with weapons that have the same effect, such as Ruby Sword

 

[Akuun]

Really? I thought that didn't stack.

 

[spiritfox]

Yes, both ways.

Wait no it doesn't. It just takes the higher of the 2.

 

[Trunx28]

FINALLY! Infernal done with 2 4* Olivias (one with ruby sword), Reinhard and Klein (both 5*).
The trick was to use both Olivias on Reinhard to kill Valter as soon as possible. Ruby Sword Olivia tanked the green flyers on the left side of the map. No wings of mercy needed.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Wait no it doesn't. It just takes the higher of the 2.

Then why does Raven tomes and ta stack?

 

[Sushen]

Ruby sword doesn't work the same as TA, right? I mean, TA helps you tank better when your color is in advantage, but ruby sword doesn't?

 

[Akuun]

Ruby Sword lets you tank your favored color better too. It works the same way as TA, I think.

 

[Technoweirdo]

Then why does Raven tomes and ta stack?

-raven tomes grant weapon advantage; they don't change severity which is what TA affects.

 

[spiritfox]

Then why does Raven tomes and ta stack?

Raven tomes are not the same. It just creates a weapon advantage similar to the normal red-green-blue triangle. That's why Raven tomes themselves are not affected by Cancel Affinity. A mage with a Raven tome and no TA will still have an advantage against a colorless user with CA.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

-raven tomes grant weapon advantage; they don't change severity which is what TA affects.

Ah I get it now. Raven Tome grants the initial 20% advantage just like being red does against green. TA then boosts that further.

So basically you cannot hold a color adavantage greater than 40%.

 

[Mupod]

Has anyone ever figured out a simple way to get JP voices? Other than just playing that version. I've been using Camilla a lot lately and...yeah.

Anyways, turn limit quests arrive tomorrow. From datamining we know there will be 5 of them and at least normal-hard difficulty, with quests for each map. Hopefully they have orb rewards, I'm itching to pull again. I almost just tried for Summer Corrin again, to improve the -atk +def one I have. But I should know better.

I've almost got Corrin's Blarblade+ ready, I'm also planning on giving her Fury. Iote's would actually let her survive archers in theory. But in practice the only archers you see in arena are brave bow death touch monstrosities, some of which can ORKO Hector with ease. Iote's wouldn't do shit. And if I run her in AA I can just avoid archers period. However, Iote's would be great for chain challenge, so I can more safely run a full flier team. At +DEF with Fortify Fliers she could take a few hits and turn on the Desperation machine.

Still need another 20k on top of this for Valter, but I will hold off as I want to do some pulls on the SS banner. If I get a Tana he would be pretty pointless. I know I should probably save for CYL or a Hinoka focus but SS is pretty much the only FE game I have an attachment to and I've got a use for all 4 of the focus units. Even Seth.

 

[TWILT]

Managed to roll Tana! Got really hype since it was my last couple orbs too...but -SPD +ATK, hmm. Guess I can salvage it a little.

There are at least 10 orbs (one each from the give maps x2 difficulties) plus some quests, which judging from past events I suspect will give (at least) two more, and 1500 of each shard/crystal type.

I'm sitting on 200 orbs once I've got all 20 from the giveaway that started today. Waiting for CYL, hopefully in early september, or I'm going to regret not pulling for so long.

 

[Sushen]

The more I think about it, CYL banner can turn out to be underwhelming. People will pull because of the characters so they don't need to be the next OP unit.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

And I should mention that I only got a 5* Nino once from a banner. She has been in so many banners and yet it took me hundreds of thousands of feathers to get her to level 50.

Congrats, man! Use her to destroy everything in your path.

 

[Mupod]

Oh I'm sure they'll double dip, like with Bridelia. Especially after the banners they just dropped. Get ready for built-in distant counter axe Ike.

 

[Pejo]

Man I really need to pair down my character inventory. I seem to remember a list of units with worthwhile SI fodder a few months ago, is there an ongoing or updated version of this? I need to dump all these characters that are truly worthless.

 

[Sushen]

Haha built-in distant counter axe Ike that also dances will be awesome.

 

[Busaiku]

Hurray, got a perfect run in Advanced Arena Assault.
I accidentally took a level 1 Summer Leo instead of my 40 one, so I had to use a Lightning Charm.

 

[Sölf]

I replayed and recorded my clusterfuck of a Valter Infernal kill.

Witness my... whatever it is I did. Probably one of the strangest ways to do this, especially with the skill inheritance. xD
The video is in german.

I don't mind that though. The game isn't so hard and even when it is, pony emblem solves a huge amount of the challenges.

And I probably want the Ike/Lyn/Lucina just because

but I'll end up with Roy

 

[Mupod]

I was thinking what kind of evil shit they could put into CYL. It's been a long time since they added a dancer. Get ready for dancer

[SliceSabre]

I just bit the bullet and promoted Anna to 5*.

She's my favorite FE character and that makes it easier for me to do arena since I can stop worrying about if I have the needed bonus unit.

I suppose Alfonse is next since I already have Sharena as a max 5* but I REALLY hate him.

 

[Busaiku]

Alfonse is awful, but at least you'll be set.

 

[Akuun]

Finally cleared Infernal with a mixed team. Hinoka/S.Corrin/Olivia/Budget Quadsuna. I'm not even sure how I did it.

I'm surprised Setsuna was able to do so well. She's 4* merged to +4, with a regular Brave Bow and L&D2. Still did great as long as I avoided all those damn Ploy attacks.

 

[Scum]

I watched Omni H, I believe, complete Infernal Valter with Brave Bow+ Setsuna & B! Cordelia only, accompanied by three dancers equipped with Wings of Mercy. It was truly something.

 

[Busaiku]

There's a 4 star no inheritance guide.
I think you need +Attack or Neutral Gordin though, I couldn't do it with mine (not sure what Nature).

Im fine with Roy getting shitty skills, just fix Sealed Sword or give him Durandal this time.

That feeling when Durandal is better than the sword of all divine weapons.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I think I may have to give up the Summer Corrin dream. 2 blue orbs, first one is a 5* Roderick. +ATK -DEF, so worth building up. The other orb was 4* Mathilda +DEF -RES so probably not going to do much with her.

At this rate I'll have a third Horse Emblem team before I have a really good Flier Emblem one.

 

[lt519]

I think I'll probably keep doing this forever: "Well, if I attack and kill that Camilla with Olivia she'll be able to survive that follow up attack from Klein next turn with 2 HP left and then kill him after." *forgets about fury -> blown up by brave bow*

They really need to implement a better way to equip units because I have to constantly switch out between one shot/special purpose setup and AA/chain challenge setup. It's been many times that I got into oh-shit situation because I forgot to switch it back.
