What are his IVs?
He makes Kagero, Klein, and Takumi redundant as all hell.
Only trade off is that Julia and Nino now devour him whole even more now.
He had like 28 defense and 22 resistance IIRC? Neutral YTiki did 4 damage. Karel with Fury did 0. Kagero with Death Blow and +4 did 14.
They really need to fix the description of Triangle Adept lol
Why? It isn't' wrong. "Gives Atk+15% if weapon-triangle advantage, Atk-15% if disadvantage." It's just that Robin's weapon make him also advantaged against colorless as well.
I found that Sanaki and Robin have pretty good synergy. I'm sure that there are a few skills that would enhance said synergy even more.
Once the April arena update changes the scoring algorithm, mage teams might be more viable for big points.
You have him with a good sword red on your team and you're good.
Is this with +3 or +2 Adept?
Alright guys. Help me out here. I'm not doing much with chars at the moment, aside from lvling them up. I'd like to have a team and go for this inheritance lark, but I can't even be arsed. Not that I'm not having fun, ofcourse. lol
Here's my Posse of characters I enjoy staring at.
I also have 5* Priscilla (lvl 1) and 4* Maria, Wrys, Lachesis, Lissa and Clarine. All at lvl 40. Help this laid back gamer out please. [insert .png of a whale in here]

Because it doesn't say it ALSO gives +15/-15% to foes.
I've been leveling an entire repertoire of 4* for these 3 orb quests but I won't be able to do the flier one I don't think. Don't have enough fliers worth anything.
I only have two heavies too, haha.
Almost done with Cavalry, though, Fredie 5* with 4* Eliwood, Jagen, and Elise has been solid.

Did you manage to grab the Mum you were looking for? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I run these two together and they're a pretty good duo. Sanaki eats Robin's counters alive. If the map allows for it you can poke Sanaki out and green mages will instantly pounce on her and get melted.
Swap on Sanaki might not be a bad idea to get her to take green magic damage for Robin. More often than not she's right next to him giving Hone Attack. Speaking of which, her weapon makes hone attack a bit redundant. Too bad it doesn't work like Ephraim/Eirika's lances. Could have given her hone speed for some double buff madness.
Don't forget you can get Stamina Pots for 100 My Nintendo Coins a piece.
I sort of want to wait till the details of the April Update come in before committing to any SP grinds.
On the flip, this makes promotions very valuable. Get a 3* to 5*? Sure you had to get 20k feathers, but you have zero concern for SP because you have like 2000 of them.

Finally cleared GHB Michalis! Turns out that I was approaching it all wrong. Post-mortems suggest that a Nino would've made it easier, but she's awaiting feathers.
So I cleared it with Eirika, Linde, Takumi, and Olivia. Taco and Eirika can actually take hits, which surprised me. And Linde was beefy enough to DPS Michalis with Olivia behind her.
And I got >4000 in the Arena for once!
I think I'll start doing SI soon.

I took my Nino from 4* to 5* and that definitely helped a lot but now she still needs just 30 more SP to achieve her final form.
Eirika still needs 259 SP for Swordbreaker 3.
Putting Fury on my Palla was a pretty good idea, it helped me score 4496 in the arena with 4* Anna sandbagging my team lol. That was with a single death, but I don't really care enough to try and improve it this week.
I also put Michalis on my defense team, went from 1 defense victory to 7 in the space of a few days. Pretty good.

I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on Triangle Adept for Robin because I don't have any truly disposable units for it. And I only have two that have it, I doubt I'll be using Severa anytime soon but I don't like getting rid of units with good IVs no matter who they are.
Also, I've replaced him with Ursula for the week anyways. Maybe for next time.
As for the extra green vulnerability, mine is -res so he got destroyed by green mages anyways. Hell, Tharja was a problem, he would lose to her darting blow on defense. There have been a few occasions where he has killed green armor for me, most notably on Ursula's grand hero battle. But I can always unequip it, and Nino can handle everything else now.

Ummm so I put Ninian on my defense team of Eirika, Reinhardt, and Nino and it is cleaning up now. Checked this morning and I was a max ten wins shown with Ephraim avatar near the top and now he is no longer even listed. I'd imagine Reinhardt plus dancer just is a nightmare to deal with.
Hopefully new arena rules make him more viable for a higher arena score. He is by far my favorite character in the game.

I actually find it a lot easier if you focus on one hero at a time and pair them with two dancers and a chaperone.
Leveling is trivial for me and I don't need anymore feathers. SP is the last grind in the game. With that in mind, I can see why they wouldn't make it easier.
Use a dancer and a healer, and one "oh shit button" character. They will level super fast as you feed them every kill and multiple rounds of exp.
It would probably help if I had a dancer. This is what I'm working with:
Then there's still the randomness of the enemy layoug, type matchups, and all kinds of other factors that can have you keep waiting for the right map.
Could get both free Olivias to 3* but that feels like another major drag, especially the 1* one.

I had a deathless streak going today and got a Reinhardt on my final game. I ended up opening up the calculator just to be absolutely sure Nino would survive. Thankfully he didn't have death blow, hopefully I'll have a resist buff on someone by the time I run into one of those.
Revamped matchmaking is definitely gonna be an improvement for me, but I wonder if Takumi will get more or less prevalent. Maybe I'll hold off on heavily investing in Robin until I know for sure.

Use your crystals to get Olivia to 20 then upgrade. 2*-3* is 200 feathers, 1-2* must be close to free. If she's just gonna dance you can just keep her at 3* tbh. She can die pretty easily though.
If you wanna change the map start on one of the 1 cost stratums then surrender

I think Takumi still gets folks a lot of defensive wins. Mainly because I think a lot of people still sleep on Robin as there are quite a few mages that outclass him in firepower. He's my MVP though.

If the new system still uses BST, Takumi and Robin are neck and neck at 148 and 149. I'm wondering how much they'll factor in OP synergistic skills though. That's the big differentiator. If it uses SP spent I wonder if that'd be fair at all.
Feels like a waste of shards/feathers, but if dancers are that worth it, I guess I might as well. Do they still get all the normal SP from leveling up via shards?
And the map layout and exact unit type can still screw me over even if the colors seem alright. Got stuck on one of the maps with a single chokepoint that let three units attack mine at once, and barely survived after having to sacrifice both healers to draw enemy fire.

Dancers open up a whole new play style. Definitely worth it to have one in your pocket if you need it.
200 feathers is a single daily, its chump change.
If you all say so... I guess I'm just annoyed they're red units since I have enough of those already.
As for arena defense? I literally haven't touched that since skill inheritance went live since I know I'd never be able to win a single match. I still don't know I lucked into a successful defense in the last round, but I haven't gotten one yet this time.

Broke 4K in arena for the first time.
Having one unit be a hard counter for both RobinM and Takumi really helps. At 4*, no less.
My silly defense team needs more skills. But I need units for those.
Not really feeling the current banners though. Will be waiting for the next one with new characters.

You could put a 4* Olivia in your defense team and easily get a free 500 feathers each week.
Also a dancer and healer make leveling a character easier and faster.
Are there really enough people out there would would 1) forget to account for a dancer when planning their moves against my team, 2) actually have a unit get taken out that way, and 3) forfeit because of it? Seems like it wouldn't be worth the 2,000 feathers.
I am seeing the benefits of running two healers to support powerleveling a single unit, but you can't go more than a couple levels below the target unit's level or the XP gain falls off dramatically. It's a real balancing act.
edit: then there's the cases where you make a miscalculation like I just did on a map and lose two levels worth progress.

Henry's stats are...unfortunate.
Gonna spend some orbs for boots.
Funny thing is I ran into this same exact set up the other day with an Eirika and Ninian following behind her.Nino has achieved her final form.
Now the long Eirika grind begins.
Had to sacrifice my own Nino to stop her in her tracks and thank goodness Ninian went off on her own or it probably would of been lights out. Scary stuff. lol
