    Man, that ghb was rough. Innes was mvp for me. Quad Corin with Lancina's help to kick his ass.

    RIP your speed score

    I just used fliers. Not too bad. Ursula with Fliers was way worse.

    Got -Atk +Spd Hardin (boo, could probably make much better use of Bold Fighter on another unit than keeping him), but I also got -HP+Atk Robin on my last orb. Ideally, I'd have loved -Spd + Res (I love enemy phase teams), but Robin's Atk is super high, so he's super scary.

    I'm not quite sure how to build him though, the free A-slot has kinda thrown me. Fury is kinda anti-synergistic, but still probably the best choice of what I have available? Does Warding Breath Stack with Vengeful? It reads as if Warding gives SC+1 whenever I'm attacked while VF is only when I attack, though from memory W/S breath actually gives charge for both attacking and being attacked, right?

    Atk/Def bond is another option. I don't really use Fjorm for anything other than PvE, and only rarely for that...

    Edit:
    Was planning to do that with TBK or Vector... Couldn't help myself...

    I still want to pull at least one more to give BF to Vector... [​IMG]

    Yo Z, do you have Alm? I know there's a Falchion banner coming and I have a spare Mia I'm not really using. How does Flashing Blade, Windsweep, refined Falchion and Phantom Speed 3 SS do on him? Glimmer/moonbow obvs whichever.

    I tried a similar setup but with life and death and HB3 seal instead of flashing blade and phantom seal (He doesn't really have the innate speed to warrant FB in A, even if you given him phantom speed seal... you generally want 35+ to guarantee triggering fb and windsweep).

    He's definitely good, and excellent against dragons, but generally still gets wrecked in enemy phase by almost every blue. Arya is the same, but she has more offensive power and can oneshot fae/tiki even sans the falchion unit bonus. So I'll still be using speed queen for infantry.

    Edit: He'll definitely be useful these next two weeks though to kill the slew of Corrupted Robins that will show up.

    Sure, but as you said, unbuffed. There are tons of speedsters that will still outgun him with their various skills/seals. Like... most Ayras run PS3 as well to always trigger her blade skill, clocking in at 50ish hidden speed on enemy phase, and 54ish on player.

    So yeah, Alm is good, but there are better options for red infantry.

    I've never seen Ayra run PS tbh. Why would she aside from the specific instance of beating the ridiculously low amount of units who are? Pretty much every Ayra I've seen that isn't DC/Wrath build runs speed+3, because PS doesn't actually help her double if she can't...

    There are maybe 5 units she doesn't auto double at 44 player phase speed. PS just makes sure you get that +1 cd even against buffed teams. I see it all the time.

    Really? Optimal Ayra build replaces her prf. Slaying is just so much better. If you're going to use Ayra, you absolutely should be going Slaying DC Wrath with speed refine.

    Btw, I stopped being lazy and learnt to use the simu calc. I'm still not sure what it's doing when you pick unit vs 'all' (using the most popular builds for each hero?) but the DB, HB seal alm is just superior.

    He even murders +def, SB, fort dragon nowi o_O

    That's really only true for enemy phase, and enemy phase Ayra is just wasted in 19-20 bracket nowadays. I rarely ever see her with dc. Too many new chunky green units that require fast one turn burns. If you're going to run plain infantry, player phase ayra + dancer + green and blue enemy phase units with reposition is where it's at.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Heavy Blade seal prolly needs a nerf. It's game breaking af. I keep it on my Aether/WaryF Effie with refined Slaying. Unless she's being wailed on by double greens, with 57 attack and 62 HP, she literally cannot be killed before heavy blade guarantees an aether almost every other round.

    Uh, what? Everything you just said is completely untrue. With Wrath proc'd, Ayra will always have Regnal up for player phase. If she initiates, she will actually proc Regnal twice in the battle, which will ORKO the vast majority of the game. With Infantry Pulse support, Ayra STARTS with Regnal active and ready to proc. That's incredibly dangerous and useful.

    Dancers also murder your score. Who runs a dancer in arena these days? If you're not scoring above a 5050 in arena, you have very little chance of staying Tier 20, which means running horses and dancers is just detrimental to your score.

    The new arena update scoring sucks by the way. My floor is now 740 and I have to fish hard to see 750 score battles. Makes cracking 5200 in Arena Assault so much more annoying and RNG dependent.

    I've never liked it. I find my enjoyment from team building as many teams as possible.

    Just made this weird Tactic team comp (Inigo easily swappable as he's the Res Tactic user) for instance. Tharja murders with it (except Micaiah.... Lil bitch), and to those she doesn't Ephraim, with his similar to Vector stats and galeforce/db/HB ss set murders the rest. TA Raven tome Inigo and BF Hardin are no slouches either.

    I just wish the SS limit was one per team, in that I could use my QR3 seal in each AA team, for example, once. And maybe I'm a derp, but I'd like to be able to organise my teams outside of AA too... [​IMG]

    So I was fortunate to get Alm on the banner (only 100 of my 140 orbs spent. Got 2 Marths too o_O Not sure if I'll build the lil buff bot yet). At least I didn't get Atk or Spd Bane, but I was still a bit disheartened that he was +HP - Def...

    Then I put him in the simu. My Alm with DB3, Moonbow (Performs better than Glimmer. A lot of his primary targets are super tanky I guess) and HB seal agaisnt a +10 +Def-Res stacked Nowi (Def refine, Aether, SB, QR3 and Close Def SS). Alm wins.

    Fort Dragons is irrelevant insomuch that if I gave Nowi buffs, I'd add the +9 attack to Alm that Delthea would give him, which makes redundant. Did it anyway, Alm still obviously wins.

    Yeah, in an arena where I'm constantly coming up against Dragons... Alm is pretty decent...

    If Nowis start running TA, I might just put CA on Alm's B. Or just use Vector to kill them : /

    Rival Domains is nice. Finally get to use that +10 Nowi from my fl that basically soloed most of it. Probably need to get more friends like that. Gameplay is ok. Rewards and replayability are not so hot I think. Placement is totally weird though, why it didn't get a new tab slot or at lest get placed together with gardens I'll never know.

    Been messing with Eirika a lot since Def Tactic seal came out, she's...a freaking enemy phase monster.

    Her actual stats are +12 to atk/def/res and +4 spd from what's there, and she can even tank Reins (have to stand on tile if buffed)...

    Supporting cast helps. Hardin is always there because he's my only atk tactic. I went with my +atk-res Cherche as my res buffer and the fourth is flexible (though default is blade tome, bold fighter Tharja).

    Can easily slip in either LRobin or Ninjabbit next season. [​IMG]

    I tried her too thinking it would be amazing. The downside is she can't take any sort of red/blue hit without the boost, so you always always always have to keep her in range of your booster, which really restricts an infantry team movement wise.
