Darn. Is atk ploy 1 worth it to go through the tempest trial a thousand times? I don't even have any of the bonus heroes
I mean, if you get to 6000 you can just use Clive anyway.

You can 100% AFK this Tempest with the right team comp: http://sendvid.com/ynq43ngv
This is me doing it with auto-battle, no input.
Do note this requires S+++ super tier only units such as this gem:

Cool seeing all this Reposition talk, one of the reasons I got so much mileage out of Selena. Also Delthea, yep, might as well call her Deathea.
I'm also starved for Reposition at this point. I have a bunch of good characters over the past month or two that are pretty badly gimped because I have to put budget movement skills on them instead of Reposition. I actually build my teams around having at least one guy who has Reposition, just because of how good it is.
On the other hand, Swap is actually more useful than I thought it would be.

My Alm isn't level 40 so I just took him into one of the easier TT levels with a healer. Didn't even really need the healing as he destroyed everything. Gained 3 levels and a lot of SP.
EDIT: couldn't beat an Effie though.

Assuming Sacred Coins lets you upgrade Sacred Seals, what seals would be the best?

I just took a lvl 1 delthea to lvl 38 after 4 tempest trials. These buffs are crazy.
My 5* free unit streak ended with the starter hero banner, but I decided to pull the lone green and got Julia! I have a bad habit of getting 1-2 levels bwfore remembering that I wanted to check +/- stats on new units though. No idea if my Julia is any good.
Celica is pretty powerful in temptest even with lvl 1 skills and no other changes. Mine is now lvl 35 with a cache of about 1k sp. I will have to start planning build.
I am contemplating pulling the temptest banner a couple more times. Celica was my first unit of those four, and I am not sure if we have anything else of worth this month. I lucked out with swimsuit corrin on my first set of 20 orbs. I have Ike and that FE Echoes healer already. I can live without Ninian, since my Asura and Olivia are both good.

Or, you know, the solution to all fire emblem heroes problems.
I just auto battle Pony emblem and let Xander/Cecilia/Ursula/Berkut*(bonus unit) handle it. They're all free units everyone could have too, although I made the first three 5* with feathers...
It's an option in settings.
Nah, you're not being dense, since it's a bit counterintuitive. It's a few extra options in the game settings menu, and not part of the normal battle menu where you turn on autobattle.

30 seems to be the sweet spot for auto battle. The AI is pretty dumb though. I just saw it have Julia tank an Alm for literally no reason and die. It seems like it always wants to advance on the enemy no matter what.

It really is dumb. I'm like wait Reinhardt where are you going!? The sword unit is that way.
It likes to leave my flying units in the range of archers, haha.
I can't complain though, 400~ points without having to do anything is going to help a lot with the grind. With some far better units than I had in the last two, the triple points for the first two runs in the day, and auto battle I think I'll be able to get the good rewards this time.
I blew through 70 orbs (the bulk of my cache), but I got Delthea, plus some useful 4-star feeder units with Life and Death, Fury, Vantage, etc.
I guess that is a good trade off.
I also find myself at a loss of what to spend my 50k feathers on. It seems like a waste to use them to 5* feeder units for some level 3 skills, bur that might be the most bang for my buck at this point.

I don't know what heroes you have but with assault modes it might be more useful to promote 4*s than to promote only for level 3 versions of skills - unless your core arena team is struggling to stay in tier 20 and you need the score boost.
My 5-star lineup:
Most of those are not skilled yet. About a third need to be fully levelled as well.
Edit: I also have 4-star Olivia and Cecilia that are each at least +5, instead of spending the 20k to get them to 5-star.
I guess they're using Sonya as a substitute for Marla and Hestia (in Gaiden, they did use the same portrait; after all), but it doesn't quite work. It probably wouldn't have been that difficult to palette swap her art to resemble the Witches, either...
Also, given that the map is based on the Labyrinth of Thabes, Awakening music would have fit in just as well.

I'm leveling up Celica as I'm playing the tempest and she doesn't have any skills on other than ones that she came with. The default 5 turn special seems not too bad actually.
Is it because I'm in tempest mode where she'll have tons of turn to play? I need to start equip her although I have little idea for her.
Medic M Marth is working out well enough that I replaced Ike with him for the tempest team, haha.

That'd be it. Yep.
Edit - Perhaps, Renewal & the oh-so-fun Moonbow might be a good start...

When is +14 Atk/Spd at 100% HP ever not fun?
They're freaking out over Defense Ploy.
You will worship your new Def Ploy meta.
Def Ploy with Est's high Res + Brave Lance with her high attack + flier buffs make her really strong. Of course that's stupidly expensive to build, currently requires Summer Gaius, and I don't know how practical Def Ploy is in reality, but that's the theory I believe.

Just wait until my goddess Reina gets added in.
Damn continuous is crazy. I've just been starting battles periodically and I've already got Celica, S!Elise and Nowi full SI'd. Celica often solo's the final map. Just been running the Lvl 35 one, gets enough points.
For Celica I went with Distant Defense, Vantage 3, Spur Def, Luna. Still got 1000SP for when I get another swordbreaker or desperation, whichever comes first.

I feel like this is kind of funny to observe: someone spending 1200 F2P orbs on Hero Fest and Summer banners.
Thanks for the heads up. Saw his announcement on reddit, almost missed it. It is interesting to see, even if just for research purposes. lol
Also, record of this "experiment".

I know there is a million banners right now, but I hope some new characters are on the way soon.
It'll be weird having an arena season with no one new to feature.

Lol he just went over 200 orbs without a 5*. If there was any way to convince a bunch of people watching someone pull on twitch to never buy orbs, that was it.

Yeah, isn't the next week, we get new bonus heroes? Clive will be only new, if so?

So what's the tempest reward Hardy Bearing going to be useful for?
This is exactly it. Not only did we conclude this with calculations, we are also actually using her in practice with ridiculous success.
No other unit in the game has this combination of Attack and Resistance to fully make use of this skill, and it allows her to hit harder than Cordelia or Cherche without any assistance, it is also not hard to set up due to being a flier, and she supports the whole team with it including herself, which not even Flier buffs can do.
Cordelia is still ranked higher because her damage output is not dependent on any conditions.
It allows you to bypass Vantage (and Desperation which shouldn't be on defense teams) while you are at full HP. It's a safe option to combat Hectors and Ryomas, but I'm not sure that its impact on the metagame is going to be large.
Really wanted Celica for my mage team (well my only team, Olivia + Summer Corrin + Julia + Nino).but the Tempest Trial banner screwed me over and gave me a Gray (-Atk as well....).
Not gonna spend any $ on orbs so i guess i'll just be using my free orbs on the Hero Fest.
EDIT:
I somehow pull Celica and Alm....
+Res/-Speed and +Speed/-Atk.
FML...

Continuous auto-battle is excellent, a nice way to rack up points when I'm doing something else.
Anyone have any thoughts on Clive as a unit? He seems remarkably middle-of-the-road, unexceptional at pretty much everything and without even any skills that stand out or synergise with his stat spread. Am I missing anything?
Finally pulled an Ike. -Attack, +HP. Ah well, could have been worse I suppose...

Clive seems pretty bad, we put him next to Berkut on the list. He's not really fast enough to run a tankier bruiser build for enemy phase, along with having low Resistance.
The best option I see for him is Brave Lance and Berkut runs that a bit better.
I think Caeda is better than Palla, especially outside fliers, but she's extremely expensive to build. For most players, Palla is easier to invest in.

I only tried the first TT a few times but it's way more fun now. My Celica is getting lots of SP~
Clive seems like a very average unit (like any of the other Tempest units besides MMarth), but is actually doing quite well as an autobattle bonus unit in Tempest.
Those tempest buffs are really nice. It's like having an Eirika taped to him at all times, and then some.
Also finally cleared the Infernal battle with a flier team.

I stuck Reciprocal Aid on Alm and made him my cleric with horse emblem. He also cleans up in the last battle.

Feels good to beat TT with first team; buff to TT units is awesome and Bride Cordelia became my healer with Breath of Life + BoL seal lol
i think i'm going to have to give escutcheon, triangle adept and swordbreaker to help ninian survive TT
also why the hell can't we get duplicates of some seals. if you don't want us to have more than one quicken pulse i get it. but i don't see why you have to limit +3 hp or +1 atk and then put in another one under the name of Squad Ace A 1. especially with how TT, chain challenge and arena assault allow for multiple teams now.
