The incremental gain of 2 defense is much higher the bulkier you already are. If you already get 1HKOed or 2HKOed by everything, it takes a lot of defense to make you go up to getting 3HKOed (which is the only functionally meaningful measure of survivability). It might make your numbers look better on paper, but if you have 24 HP and take 20 damage per hit, 2 more Def doesn't take you from being 2HKOed to 3HKOed, so your practical survivability doesn't change. Whereas if you are already 4 or 5HKOed, it takes less defense to go up to getting 6HKOed because your defense gets to apply on more hits before you die. This eventually does hit a limit when you aren't feasibly going to tank more enemies than you already do anyway so getting more Def doesn't matter. Someone like Haar or Xander doesn't need the Dracoshields because they've already passed the threshold of functional invincibility to physical damage. | ||

Despite using the turnwheel on a crit, it seemed delthea could just teleport to whoever she wanted and one shot the person with the least Res. then you couldnt kill her but she continues to follow you and attempt to kill people. What was the strategy here? I lost two people on it | ||

What was the strategy here? I lost two people on it Eventually Delthea will tele and unfortunately it seems a bit random but overall she warps behind you when you start to move towards the bridge. I kept my clerics back, didn't field any armors or cavs except for mathilda who was forward. The moment delthea comes at you attack her such that she is left with 1 health. Alm using his royal sword skill comes in handy here. At this point she will try and walk to the nearest heal tile. You can either block the tiles or just try to rush tatarra with everyone as fast as you can. It should be noted that I bench the deliverence hideout crew + Lukas at the start of act 3... EDIT: damn Yango beat me to it | ||

I dont see how that rally is better than having eirikas unique weapon, with her hone speed lvl 4, ur getting 3 attack 4 speed, then u can use a seal for def/res and run rally for the last one (i personally dont). I play arena solely with a Nino lineup and she is completely buffed up on the first turn due to being able to rearrange units then i just reposition her out to blow someone up or ready to bait and kill them on their turn. Its a weaker version for a support unit that takes away the assist skill when her other a,b slots arent really contest for something. Personally reposition is my eirika rally it lets her move nino out of the way after a kill while staying next to her. If u run rally often u have to rally nino, then nino will move forward and miss out on the start of turn buffs next time around. | ||

Python is worth raising if you don't make one of the villagers an archer, but undeploying him here is fine since he still sucks pretty bad at this point in the game. I use Lukas for a few chapters in Act 3 and Clive has enough bulk to sit back as a Mathilda support-bot, but Forsyth is insta-bench the moment you get him, lol. | ||

I considered using python but his accuracy pains me. At least with leon in echoes he hits quite often, and his other stats aren't that bad either. | ||

Hector/Cordelia/Tharja can take pretty much anything the game can throw at them as long as they stick to what they're good at, and Tharja benefits really well from a buffer. Right now, I have a Jeorge with Rally Speed and Hone Speed (or Spur, whichever one buffs), but he really doesn't do all that much. You can just use that 4th spot for one of the week's bonus heroes, which you'll want to do anyway since using at least one bonus hero doubles the reward you can receive per battle. This week you've got Sharena and Olivia as potential budget bonus heroes, which is cool since they're both pretty good and I'd already upgraded both of them to 5* earlier. | ||

Oh well, at least I get to put Miracle or Spur Def/Res 2 on a support, does Dance charge specials? Also, between Gwendolyn or Effie, which would work better to build up on the blue armor slot? Effie is so significantly better than gwendolyn it's not even funny | ||

Effie hits like a truck, has highest attack in the game, and can double everyone with brave lance.Effie is so significantly better than gwendolyn it's not even funny Speaking of Klein and Effie, I would recommend sacrificing Klein to the dark gods to inherit Deathblow 3 to Effie. He is the only 4★ in the game who can inherit that skill away. If your roster is short on solid heroes currently I would also recommend not rolling on colorless anymore. Colorless doesn't have a great spot in the meta right now and you have a higher chance to get garbage compared to every other color. | ||
