I got valentines lilina.

She has now become atk tactic on pa inigo, meaning that jaffar/pa inigo with atk tactic/elincia/firesweep cordelia is competition for jaffar/pa inigo/galeforce soleil/bridal charlotte with infantry pulse for 'my favorite team.'

i need more atk tactics. fortunately there's tons of time to get more draws from that banner

Cordelia's art annoys me too much but I would love to get use out of Firesweep Lance, are there any alternatives or is Cordelia the only one who really makes it work?

Cordelia sits at 35/35 for attack/speed at 5* level 40 neutral IVs. Tana's at 34/36 which is pretty much just as good if not better. Est is at 35/30, Shanna at 30/35, Catria at 31/34, Hinoka at 35/32, if you've got +spd or +atk they might, but Cordelia isn't rare enough to justify investing in a good-enough unless you are madly in love with Catria's slightly exposed butt cheek or something. Hinoka has her new personal weapon to consider, too, since it's pretty rugged.

Clair is at 26/36, Florina at 29/27, and Subaki is at 25/35 which are way too lacking.

Red fliers can pull off a Firesweep Sword build. Ellincia is at 34/36 which is the best there but Amiti's status at a super-brave sword makes it less appealing to give her any other weapon. NY Camilla is at 33/35, which is fine. Palla is at 31/31 which is barely acceptable. Caeda is at 25/37 and is going to use her new Wing Sword for effective damage and/or speeding up Icebergs or be kind of bad.

There's no firesweep axe, and there's no flying bows.

Was single-pulling green orbs on the Valentine's day banner to try and build up to eventually getting either V. Lilina or V. Hector.

Got up to a 3.5% 5* rate up, got a set of 4 blue stones and 1 red stone. Pulled on the red stone to avoid the possibility of getting another V. Lyn.

Got a 5* normal Lilina. I couldn't even be mad about that, I just laughed at the irony.

I got both Tana and Hinoka at my disposal, and Tana isn't doing much of anything yet so she could do the job?

Yeah, OFS has done his homework. Most non-flying lance units are a bit shit for the firesweep role, too, although you might be able to make it work with peri or oscar- she's 33/33 and he's 33/34, not terrible. Bonus: with his shirt tucked into his pants like that oscar looks like BATTLE ACCOUNTANT

Anyway Perry, yes, your tana would be ideal. Even with neutral atk/speed she gets 54 attack and 41 speed with firesweep lance and life and death 3, which is more than good enough. If you're lucky enough to have a +atk or +spd version, she's even better.

Anyway, I just did the armor quest for narcian's infernal and it was considerably harder than infantry and fliers, which could be summarized as 'galeforce steamroll' and 'terrain abuse' respectively. Armor was a huge pain in the ass, because, with all their breakers as well as the fact that the bottom archer has panic ploy with 59 hp, narcian's posse is super hard to tank with any one guy and armor is slow enough that it has no option but to handle the map defensively.

these are my dudes (effie and probably jakob are going to get dumped sometime in the future):
ImageImageImageImage

My basic strategy was to take out the blue mage and the have zelgius tank everything else. So I started like this, which jakob deliberately unbuffed so as to not get owned by panic ploy:
Image

Jakob takes some hits, then shoots the blue mage in the fucking face and removes him from the map.
Image

Then zelgius and henry pass jakob back out of range with swap, leaving this:
Image

And zelgius proceeds to kill two units outright and badly wound a third, leaving three alive. Narcian flails at henry ineffectually.
Image

This is where I got stuck for a while, though. I couldn't successfully kill everyone in one turn, because both the archer and narcian resisted being one-shotted. The answer, as I eventually figured out, was to back up, trusting that 'wet-noodle' narcian would fail to actually kill henry.

Which, after the low-hp sword guy was killed by zelgius's counter, leaves this:
Image

After which the final move is to retreat even more and marvel in the fact that narcian cannot do even ONE damage to zelgius, the only person he's in range of.
Image

THEN THEY DIE, ESPECIALLY THE ARCHER, WHO GETS VAPORIZED BY FULLY-BUFFED GRONNBLADE WITHOUT GETTING TO COUNTER, BECAUSE HE WASN'T IN LINE TO USE PANIC PLOY. GOOD GAME I WIN FUCK YOU
ImageImage

everyone did great, except for effie, who was at least great at having fortify armor in her c slot

You can now get a free Legendary Ike (presumably stat neutral) for clearing Xenologue 3 on Easy in the Paralogues section of the story quests.

Also, there's a banner with Legendary Ephraim that I ended up getting Gunwhatshername on because I got a set of summoning orbs with no blues and I picked a green one. :-I

So... 3/4 Legendary Heroes now, I guess. (I have no idea who I should use these blessing things on.) :-I

Just stick the blessings on anyone, we're getting absolute piles now and their most valuable utility is the double sp which works regardless of whether you put the unit on a team with a legendary guy

Also nice to hear they've added the free Vlike, time to make my evil robin fucking hilarious

I've made two pulls on the Falchion banner. Both red orbs. Both 4-Star Adult Tiki.

Between this and getting two copies of Shiro and two copies of Summer Female Corrin trying to pull for Legendary Ephraim on that banner, I feel like the game is deliberately trying to spite me.

I wouldn't know, I never use the one I had before.

I was more referring to the fact that on the banner with the focus units having a sword designed for slaying dragons... both my pulls on it were a dragon.

Oh hey also more Awakening alts characters



Yeah... I'm skipping this banner. :-I

Also, no wonder they announced Thracia characters early. Probably didn't want to be spammed with more angry tweets about more alts instead of actual new characters.

I really don't get why they're so afraid of adding actual new Awakening characters like Sumia, Gregor, or Ricken. Instead we get Robin offspring who is basically just robin anyway and also more Chrom.

I'm really liking the new stuff they're adding that makes mixed teams more viable. For example, I've been blowing through the hardest TT difficulty repeatedly with no healer and usually no unit losses using this team:

ImageImageImageImage

Jakob can function without armored support using his seal. Meanwhile, all three units get a very powerful and easy-to-apply boost from atk tactic, despite being different unit types. If I used cordelia over reinhardt, which would work perfectly well, I'd have all four movement types on a single team.

e: yep Image

They just need to make the tactics a little bit easier to get and that will be perfect for greater team creativity.

i pulled three of the new spring banner units and now i can make a reasonably good bun team :yay: (even though sharena is -ATK and kagero is -SPD)

Image
centerpiece buffer and RES soak. the muninn's egg effect is stupid, but it doesn't require her to engage with the enemy so it works quite well for her

Image
nuker. in spite of her pitiful base ATK she gains an immense +17 (+21 with def tactic seal maxed) from Sharena and should have the SPD to double most non-glass units. her support, B, and C skills could do with eventual replacements as no one on this team particularly needs their SPD matchups improved

Image
debuffer with potential bonus chip. ideally she would have desperation 3 and SPD smoke, but i don't have them right now

Image
i don't even know what i'm doing with this guy. ideally i would probably have him running ATK and SPD tactic but i have neither. i could also give him fortress DEF and a DEF weapon forge to give this team a good physical wall, as that would bring him up to 35 before Sharena's buff

Why Hawkeye is my current favorite unit to level up:
Image
I mean sure "strength" =/= "offensive power" but c'mon mang don't lie to yourself.
"If you had said one year ago that we would come in third in Ilia, we would have given anything for that. And you know something? Not only are we going to Ostia, we're going to Thracia, and Plegia, and Grado, and Goldoa, and we going to Macedon and Lycea and Zofia and Norh and Bern, and then we're going to Emblia to take back the summoning gates!"

to the surprise of no one, Sharena lost in the first round

based on the scores across the board, Kagero seems poised to win the gauntlet but i'm supporting Alfonse because he still has a better costume and isn't yet another awakening or fates character
