Thank you all for your answers/recommandations!

-SPD is pretty damning for Nino; wait for a better one if you want to use her. Using copies of her with terrible IV for Gronnblade SI is a good choice, but if you haven't played the game for long and don't have a deep roster, I will advise against spending 20k for Gronnblade+; your feathers should have other higher priorities. Gronnblade for Cecilia is more than enough with the absurd horse buffs; you wouldn't want to use her for arena anyway due to the low score.

1* and 2* Cecilia are the free giveaway from the daily HB, they are neutral, and neutral Cecilia is fine with horse buffs.

Hum, in that case, what should I do with my feathers? I've been pondering that for a while.

Save them until you get a unit with good IVs that you want to use.

Alternatively, promote the starter units (Alfonse/Sharena/Anna)! They all get a legendary weapon at 5*, are regularly Arena bonus units and used for various quests, and are good units in their own right. Choose whichever colour you're lacking.

IMO Sharena is the best of the three, followed by Anna, and then Alfonse (Alfonse is only last due to a lot of competition with all the sword-using Lords).

I've got all three at 5*, and I don't regret it at all. They guarantee that I have a fully kitted-out level 40 bonus unit to use in Arena every week and make quests like the GHB rerun quests easy.

-defense is probably the best bane for Nino, but she has one of the highest attack in the game and her default is a blade tome. She's definitely worth using no matter what part of the game you are at.

You kind of need the extra damage for infernal GHB. Even the later CC two chapter maps have pretty insane adversaries. It really depends on your play style. Do you want more and more characters to use for AA, SA, monthly T10 training quests or do you want a general all-purpose team with a core of three that can eventually get into and stay in T20 and is synergized to deal with infernal maps more easily without dying several times?

Time after time, BRoy's galeforce saved the day. Fought against a team of 2 Reinhardts, BLyn, and Xander. I thought I was going to lose a unit, except BRoy killed one Reinhardt and BLyn in one turn.

I don't mind the two focus units, but when they're consecutive Olivia... My luck has been running weird this week. Two straight MCorrin on the Block A banner, then two Olivia on the dancer banner. Pondering whether or not to keep building up orbs for another go or just hoarding until Genealogy / Christmas (or Naga willing, a Triangle Adept or Raventome banner).
 
So I did this tonight because I didn't have any better to do with some units...

A lot of units wasted but I had fun doing it. I guess that's the goal of the game after all.

Fuck yeah!

Finally got Fan Olivia. I don't really care about getting Shigure.

So in the end I got Fan Olivia, Axe Azura and Inigo from the performer's banner.

Finally getting around to the Chain Challenges.
Finished all the Main Story ones, did the 11 & 12 and 7 & 8 Paralogues as well. The latter was definitely the hardest one, the Roderick, Katarina, and Luke combo really messes me up.

BTW november is RD 10 year anniversary in NA. So I think it would be a good date to drop a Dawn brigade banner.

A banner with Soren, Mist, Titania and introduce Rolf as a broken archer. And thus forcing everyone back into colorless hell and pulling only green orbs but the game will just keep giving blues and red.

I'm just clearing the Training Tower quests whenever I have leftover stamina, Almost back to a healthy 100 orbs. The voting gauntlet next week is quite welcome since I need feathers to ascend some units (Eirika & Some Gronnraven fodder).

A schedule right about now would be really good though.Its almost as if they want to do a big reveal of something (maybe the schedule may spoil it?).

But none of this characters are from the Dawn Brigade.
It will be certainly be Sothe and Micaiah plus 2. I bet on Nolan and Edward.
 
Got a Shigure on my secondary acct after hitting 4.25% and trying primarily for Olivia. But he seems alright, the x2 blue tome valor being cool and the main reason I let myself pull on blue. This banner essentially went as expected. Meh.
 
At least Arena's going swell during the dry period. I'm 4025/9650 in tier 19, so I'll be advancing to tier 20. I have five Defenses, which is awesome.

I've had some seasons with 3-4 Defenses but never beat that until now. I haven't used any Horse and Flier teams on Defense ever.

I don't even feel the need to pull with the results I'm having.

Just went back and tried to finish off the Squad Assaults now that I've got a bunch of powered up dancers. Crushed them in a single try after needing oodles of energy pots to beat the first one.

Dancers are really good, huh?

I've given up on getting arena defenses until I can get some sort of brokenly strong combo going. At least my offense score keeps me in a decent place and my Arena assault scores are improving.
 
I seem to get easy multiple defense wins in my secondary account, possibly because it is still going up the ranks and also Ike and Brave Ike seem stupid strong on field together. Figures that I have neither on my main account.

Did get a win in the main again, which is all one needs anyway.

I've been getting around 10 defenses a week since Ellincia. Team is a bad IV BIke, Ellincia, Rein and Dancer. Wish I knew how it was besting people since her inclusion.
 
If you want easy arena defense wins, use a single unit. People try to cheese AA with a single unit and if they run into a triangle disadvantage you win.

I actually welcome this downtime; been sitting on quite a pile of feathers and now that I have little urgency to clear out my barracks or gather orbs for a pull, I can focus on promoting and leveling units. Plus my horses are at 3000 HM so I should start weaning myself off that crutch...

...first in line for a promotion is Ursula.

Yeah my secondary account is less than a week old and is swimming in defense wins. I'm running Bow lyn, Ninian, Eirikia and Lucious there. lucious to be replaced with lilina when i finish training her.

This week on my main I have tried:
3 horses plus various dancers.

Bike, Soren, dancer + BK

BK + 3 horses


If I don't get something by rollover I'm gonna hail Mary and run bike, Soren, Julia and Merric and hope a mono green team can ruin someone's deathless run and they just gimme the win.
 
The truth is that color diversity on Defense makes it easy for opponents to win against you. Just find a composition that hard counters certain colors/class types.

I used Nino, Hector, Azura (WoM3), and Alphonse (with Swordbreaker) this season. This team basically forces resets if the opponents doesn't use a Red Dragon or Mage. Most players prefer to use just one Red Sword, and they can easily get screwed over when facing me.

I've really not had issues with Defense ever since using a similar color strategy. I only struggled in the last two seasons, because my Anna build is still so poor/incomplete.

I wasted using a red unit for fighting a level 50 Hector in Arena Assault because I didn't notice the Hector had no weapon equipped.

I went with the bonus Catria, Robin F, Mathilda, Adult Tiki. Targeted at maybe getting a horse team, and apparently took a Xander-led team by surprise.

Not on the same level, but noticed a dancer with no weapon equipped. Thought it was a cute way to dodge AI suicides.

Urvan seal. Brave weapons are useless now.
Tho urvan is for all weapons.
Why would they do that? Although I suppose so long as you can still only have one sacred seal it's not too bad. It just feels like why take that away from brave Ike, it gave him a niche when he could tank even brave reds and then aether back to a respectable health while countering. Also why auto devalue any units you introduce in the future who come with brave weapons? Aside from Reinhart and lyn/ bridelia were brave weapons really that big a part of the meta that such a skill needs to be widely available?

edit: oh they are separate for each weapon class type, that sounds more fair, forgive my fussing then.

Lyn will still be good with Mulagir/Firesweep but Reinhardt is dead.

Glad I never got past +1ing mine. He'll still be a monster for PvE, but I don't mind letting him take a break from Arena.

*edit*

Oh, they seem to be specific to general types of weapons. I guess it's nice if you explicitly need a Rein counter but that's not too ridiculous.
