legendary weapons cost 100 more SP to learn than other 5* weapons, that's why they are worth more points.

Alondite doesn't actually matter. Black Knight overall has higher stats than Gray, which would. Did Azura have a special before then? Just trying to figure out how much stuff matters so I can minmax.

thread i read said this:
every 11 stat points (not counting skills or merges) is worth 1 arena point
every 205 SP cost is worth 1 arena point
every merge is worth 1 arena point

so Alondite and the Azura special alone add up to about 1 point more per match on average. the stat points and black luna brings it up to a bit over 3. of course, there's quite a bit of random variation with it, too. my score per match ranged from 692 to 704 in arena assault this week.

Assuming nothing changes, I'll be the only one riding the Pats this week. I figured there'd be more people picking them. The Panthers look terrible despite being 2-1.

Pats last week and Packers this week made a lot more sense to me, mostly because 2 games this season didn't sway me from thinking the Bears are considerably worse than the Bengals. Panthers vs Texans is pretty much a tossup.

the whole point of the build is he doesn't have to use his action to attack but can still kill stuff. anyone else with his stat spread would be better with a blade tome.

she might be my favorite archer in the series now just from her Heroes dialogue. she's hilarious. though the bar was admittedly not set very high before her. also the one i have is +spd so if i'm going to sac one i kinda want to wait for the next, especially when i might be pulling colorless for the next month. or, like you, i might rather sacrifice her to Fae. mostly i'm just really indecisive.

I used the double SP to finish the BK today. Took him, Hector, Tana and Effie into arena assault and hit my new high score of 4870. Starting off with an armor team appeared to give me easier matches. A lot of distant counter armors, but zero Bow Lyns and only one Reinhardt. Armors are pretty much free wins, and the last map was literally 4 swords. Not a problem for Lukas and Valter.

i ended up doing this exact same thing today, except with Hector, BK, Lucina, BIke as my lead (my straight up highest point total team; too bad it saps me of good greens later). i had to face several Reinhardts and a few Bow Lyns. can't remember how many on my successful run exactly; took a few tries. ended up with 4880.

i had some runs where i brought in a subpar team that looked like i could perfectly counter the enemy; stuff like literally just Clive and Titania to fight swords and Ninian, but whoops one of those swords was super high attack and took Clive out of swordbreaker range and then got doubled by the others and killed (probably would have worked if i was just a bit more careful and brought Jagen and Berkut support). one where i planned to use Gordin to kill Elincia and standard Camilla to kill Bow Lyn, but they moved in a completely different way than i expected, and after that first turn it was pretty much over since they had Azura and i had no dancer or positioning skills. my one total scrub team that actually worked in the finished run was Anna, 4* female Corrin (just to make sure Sanaki could one-shot Hector), Sanaki and Clive. Reinhardt did not move how i expected him to and i thought it was all over again but i sorta lucked out and got Anna in position to kill him safely and i could pick the rest of them off after. i guess worst case scenario i would have just had to use an item or two since it was the third to last round and i still had all my good cavs + Azura left.

i didn't want blues. i was going green and colorless. got mostly colorless. at least i got a Matthew and my first Clarine and Setsuna. also a -atk Fae, so i gotta decide which Falchion (or Celica) gets her too.

i've been thinking about feeding Takumi to Spring Camilla forever now. i think i'll just feed the new one cause i'm lazy and probably never going to use him anyway now with Lyn and Innes.

What does this mean? Do green focus units tend to have higher percentages of being pulled?

yes. all focus units appear equally often in summoning sessions, but green orbs are rarer, so more of them end up being focus units. the opposite is true for red.

Dark Young Link posted...

Apparently there's going to be quests involving Fir, Fredrick, and Sully. So make sure to spare one the fate of being turned into feathers/SI.

normally when they have quests like that they give you one for free. though this time it's a bit of a different format, with no quests to KO an enemy with the 3 askr lords. i have both a Fir and a Sully pulled at 4* with +atk -HP so i'd use those even if we got one free. but my only Fredericks are 3* +res, one being -atk and the other being -def, so i think i'd rather use the free one if we get one.

with Oscar as my bonus unit this time, i switched things up for TT starting yesterday. i'm using him, Titania, Xander and Elise for my two lunatic 7 runs. it works pretty well and it's a lot less stressful with a healer. too bad Oscar is -spd, it stops him from being able to double BK even with the TT bonus stats and hone cav.

i actually started with them auto-battling hard (but with Ninian instead of Xander). i gave Oscar and Titania silver weapons from 3*s to work better in auto-battle. then i realized i could probably do my 2 lunatic runs per day with them to keep my A rank survival.

i do think we're going to get a Halloween banner. the two summer banners overlapped by a few days, so if that happened again we'd get Genealogy in 2 weeks and a Halloween banner around 4 days before Halloween.

Shigure's B skill is probably the best one with a bladetome. normally all you're getting is 3 atk/4 spd/2 def or res from Eirika or Ephraim, so that'll still make your second attack hit 6 harder. or maybe 4/4/2/2 if using two characters to buff and no twin, but that'd still be +4, or +6 or 8 while allowing you to use other seals.
