Vantage is the B-skill you want, special you can go with bonfire/ignis because of the super high def (also that damage isnt reduced by def/res) so you just kill anything upon activation. Your C-slot depends on what comp u have, its armor emblem cant go wrong with ward-armor. If you want him to be a solo monster you can run threaten defence. Either way hector is amazing even without SI | ||

Congrats on the pull, he's super rare and kills it in TT right now with the extra stat boosts.ye the feedback im getting is that the wiki can be pretty shit. thanks, time to eat my units for vantage and bonfire | ||

Can't complain though, got CYL Roy and CYL Lucina in 60 orbs so the TT banner had to even the luck out a bit. | ||

Leveling them was ezpz and I've been using them+Olivia (dancer idk never hurts) for a lot of the TTs to pretty solid effect. I've not done any SI yet (in fact I'm still floating a lot of SP to prep for it since a few of their base skills seem meh). Suggestions? I'm sure I can keep Ike pretty basic as a tank and just abuse his stats, but I've no idea what to do with Lyn for example. Bows are a mystery to me; I've had a 5* Takumi for ages but I barely use him these days and never SI'd him lol. For bowlyn I did BB+ Repo Luna LaD 3 Sacea's Blessing Hone Cav Breath of Life 1 | ||

Also Sacea's Blessing seems so specific but I guess if there's no better B's. Also one less slot to SI is a bonus. | ||

Ryoma/Ike are pretty common too, although are not really effective as a full team compared to horses. She basically has to have that b skill since otherwise she dies to any phys attack (18 defense doesn't really cut it, even less with L&D3). I haven't put much into her for that, although I am running a Green Ike/Azura/BowLyn/Camus Arena team that works well. Ike/Camus can tank plenty and BowLyn will take care of most things I have to go offensive for. I am still using her base setup (+ Breath of Life 1 seal). | ||

I was going to ask this too, since +4 when attacking vs +5 all the time seems minor. Unless she's going to die when she gets hit regardless of the LaD penalty, so might as well min/max that glass cannon and go for the bonus 1 atk/spd? | ||

I can sometimes make it all the way to 20 with my pauperish team. Haven't managed to stay there though. I've found that Eliwood is actually pretty serviceable as a 5* horse emblem guy. Atk 3/Swordbreaker/Cav buff with Reposition and Glimmer/an equally good skill and he'll usually win any sword or axe duel he gets into. My horse emblem team is now my default offense team and they give me deathless streaks fairly consistently (Titania/Eliwood/Olwen/Lyn). | ||

Getting out of 18 to 19 seems pretty easy at this point. On September 13 2017 10:42 Duka08 wrote: I was going to ask this too, since +4 when attacking vs +5 all the time seems minor.

Unless you're whaling in this game, DO NOT give her LD3...thats crazy expensive for a tiny buff. Especially if youre running her with calv-buffs. Even more so, that in arena many of the maps require a bait to move the enemy units out of position (the defensive tile ones, where you cant reach them straight away but moving first is advantageous to bait them) On defensive tiles you might survive, but in any other scenario you're hurting ur options. Im not saying that LD3 is bad tactically, im just comparing LD3 to swiftsparrow theres no need to swap it out.

Dont forget to hoard 4star, gunters, eliwoods, reinharts. You want to arrange your buffs, so that you're bladetome can be hit with both hone and Fort, which means she can run either Goad or Ward Cav. Reinhart, you want him to receive hone and Goad, therefore you give him Fort. Example, i run Blade-celica, reinhart, eliwood, lyn atm. Cecila has Ward (So she doesnt miss out on any Hone/fort, and can be buffed by goad for that speed, i run darting blow so i can double everything) Reinhart has Fort (he needs mainly atk, so hone and Goad can hit him) Also often you either can blow up a Red unit with Reinhart or a Blue unit with Celica on the first turn, but then you have to get out of the way, so i run reposition on both of them, thus in the end they end up next to each other for Hone/Goad next turn) Eliwood, Goad, He has plenty of Res already to tank anyway. Lyn Hone, Shes so strong that she doesnt even really any attack buffs that badly because of Swift sparrow initiation. | ||
