A shitload, I think.

Got Claire out of my draw today, which was what I was aiming for, and a Setsuna as a Bonus. She's only a 3 star, but considering that i have close to 40k feathers, it might be worth getting her up to 5 stars, just so I can finally replace Takumi on my main team.

Not the best banner in the world.  Dumped my orbs anyway because Clair is cute, got Clair.  Also got a (4*) Eirika which is super nice.

I have a suspicion that all the units on this banner are going to be middling at best.

Hrm that's what I believe too....

Victory :V

I would hardly call units that have two game-changing skills and one game-changing bow "middling"

Yeah, I don't know what you guys were expecting but this seems pretty solid to me. I also seem to recall that everyone called the banner with Eirika and Ephraim "mediocre" and "disappointing" but people seem to love them now if usage is any indication. I'm not sure you're right about this banner, and I'm not sure anyone can really make that call at this point regardless.

But really a counter to vantage and distant/close counter is pretty welcome imo. But other than that everyone's stats are pretty bad. Alms speed is bad he will never be able to stop counters from pretty much anyone. Faye will always get doubled or quad and just die. I think Clair might be an amazing unit to have.

Yeah, I dunno why anyone would think anything that stops vantage or distant/close counter is mediocre. What IS mediocre is that you're supposed to sacrifice these units to get them on anyone else.

That was kind of my view, honestly.  They're whatever units with some great one-off abilities.  Being able to soft-counter vantage etc is good, but only great on a better unit (or the existing unit with heavy investment).

With that said, it's entirely possible Alm or Faye (or both) will be 4* units like Eirika and Reinhardt after their banners, making inheriting those skills somewhat less painful.

In other news, now that I have a good candidate for Goad Fliers (Clair), I fed Nino to Spring Camilla for maximum gronnblade shenanigans for Flier Emblem.

Edit: Random note on Clair / Hit & Run, but this skill seems to have fewer overall uses than Drag Back.  I've been running Drag Back on Lyn for a while and I can't think of many situations where she's hit something and I wished she didn't bring the enemy back a square with her.

Yeah, honestly I've been considering doing that myself. I'd have to spent 20k feathers to max out a Nino to get Gronnblade+, and I love the goofy animation of Camilla's existing weapon, but I can't deny that Gronnblade would be much better.

Green Egg isn't *completely* horrible on my current SCam build though. I have Iote's Shield, Quick Riposte and Threaten Speed on her, so being able to heal off the (usually minor) damage archers deal to her to get back into Quick Riposte Range is nice in theory. In practice there are rarely two opponents on the same team that Quick Riposte is that relevant for, but it could matter. And the Threaten Speed combined with my SCamilla's +Spd nature means I can double up on enemies surprisingly often, so I don't necessarily need a stronger spell to take a lot of stuff (even sword lords) out.

Perhaps, if it's on an infantry unit and/or on a team with ranged units. But melee only flier teams like me would probably prefer hit and run. In the event that you won't kill the target, you would always want to retreat and the terrain may not always allow for that, like if you were attacking over a river.

So has anyone else been noticing a huge shift in the arena since the update? I'm seeing much stronger teams and a different spread of unit usage. I think I'll be retiring my previous 1.0.1 arena usage list (partly because of this new shift and partly because I accidentally deleted like six days worth of data without entering it :V) and starting over for 1.0.2.

I have very little data on 1.0.2 so far, but what little I do have looks like what you might expect. Common units include Hector and Reinhardt, which makes sense, but also interestingly Eirika. Any of that could be a fluke at this point though because I have so little information. Expect an actual list with a slightly more acceptable number of data points in a week or so.

I've found new arena to be easier for some reason, which runs counter to basically everyone else. Before I could barely break 4.3k, but now I have 4,732 and a top 10k rank, and that's with using a 4* Olivia.

Something that might be important is that I haven't skill inherited a single unit, although I did smack seals on all 3 of my fighting team members. I'm wondering what score range you guys who experimented with SI are getting.

Edit: I also don't think I've seen a single Hector or Reinhardt this week, possibly because they're common SI targets.

This is my score right now, although I haven't had a perfect run yet. I lost one unit in my best run.

My team is extremely inherit-heavy, and I've been having a much harder time than previously. Which is great, the added challenge is a blast.

i dont think drag back works if the enemy dies so in either case if the enemy does or doesnt die this lets you put an ally in range of someones goad/hone buffs.

both drag back and lunge work even if the enemy dies. It's also one of the only reasons melee only fliers works at all :V
despite the wording on the skill, what won't work is if you try attacking a ground unit with a flier from over a mountain/river/lava and they don't die. The skill description for drag back makes it sound like you would retreat back a space anyway, but if the ground unit can't move into your current space, you won't retreat back either.

I wonder if they'll keep cycling 3 the FEH lords like they've done for the past few cycles or if they'll disappear and come back after a few months (again). Debating how much I want to invest in them if it means I don't have to worry about always having arena ready units.

Also, I've been trying to train up a Navarre and he's probably the weakest of the GHB units so far.

While IS is taking their time on that content, I started playing through Sacred Stones since someone sold me on how Ephraim is actually a pretty awesome lord/mc (and also since my 3ds is still being borrowed). Have to say it's a lot easier than conquest on the hardest difficult so far, unless they really toned down the difficulty on localization or the difficulty really kicks in post- route selecting. Would be pretty interesting if Ephraim was the harder difficulty, like conquest vs br.

I'm not the biggest fan of Sacred Stones. On one hand it looks fantastic and the monster enemies are super cool, but on the other hand I really don't care for grinding in my Fire Emblem and Summoner is the most degenerately broken class in any Fire Emblem game I've ever played (except maaaaaybe Heron in Radiant Dawn, but I think Summoner still wins) for how badly it breaks the AI. Definitely worth a playthrough and I know some people absolutely love it, but it's not one of my favorites.

The game only gets (relatively) challenging after the route split. You should definitely play both routes, but Ephraim is harder while Eirika's route has better plot so I guess it is kinda like Birthrout and Conquest

I wouldn't know about the viability of grinding because it eats up too many weapon uses for my liking. Is Summoner really that good? I'm currently on a playthrough right now and I've never used one, but I don't know if I want to train up Knoll.

Oh I've played both routes quite a few times. I'VE SEEN EIRIKA.

There are techniques to make grinding a lot more viable. You don't have to use them of course, but they're there. I won't mention how you do them, but you can find them easily if you look them up.

The thing that's ridiculous about Summoner is that the AI prioritizes kills over everything else, and the summoned ghosts have 1 HP and no defense, so any enemy can kill them in one hit. Which means all enemies will always target them over everything, and they're completely disposable because you can make one a turn. So you can use them to bait enemies and distract them from attacking your real characters. They're the best offensive and defensive weapon in the franchise as far as I know, even more so than dancers.

I got knocked out of the top 10,000, so I had another go - 4760 got me rank 7815.  Hopefully that'll be enough.

These flier quests came at a pretty convenient time, what with Flier Emblem becoming a very real (and terrifying) thing in my reality.  Finally managed to grind out SP for Gronnblade+ on Bunmilla and it's just overkill city all over the place, and I don't even have a Fortify/Ward Fliers user online yet.
