been using a pretty unorthodox Alfredo build for the last couple weeks in Arena to some pretty good success in Tier 20 that I thought I'd share with you guys. Wanted to do something to spice up my Askr trio builds and I like it more than just the standard brave sword+ and db3.
Weapon: Brave Sword+
Alt: Reciprocal Aid
Ult: Luna
A: Defiant Atk 3
B: Desperation 3
C: Haven't decided what I like the most. Probably a spur or panic ploy.
S: Brash Assault 3
He runs around behind my team and waits till he can Reciprocal Aid someone with 21 hp or less, which then procs Desperation + Brash Assault. For those of you who don't know, combo'ing those two skills with Brave weapons lets you 4x strike before retaliation, swinging in for 50x4 damage after Def Atk buff is applied.
Luna, Bonfire, and Draconic Aura are all reasonable ults to choose here considering you should be able to proc any 3 charge ult in your initiation. I didn't go with Draconic Aura here, because, I think it's marginally worse than Bonfire pretty much just because it doesn't get affected by Atk Smoke/Ploy/Threaten and Bonfire can benefit from spurs/other buffs. Luna stands out over the other two though because it really helps with the armor matchup, since it's generally the only thing he can't one shot.
Defiant Atk 3 was taken over Death Blow 3 for a similar reason. He pretty much never enters combat before Reciprocal Aid'ing someone anyway, so might as well take advantage of the extra +1 atk that Defiant Atk 3 offers.
Pretty useful for clutching arena fights.
Now that you mention it, Alfonse is like the perfect character for the desperation + brash assault combo. And I have a useless 5* Cain that I've been sitting on... Hm... Also GTR, Ike is pretty similar to Ryoma and he's on the 8% banner. If you specifically want Ryo as a character then I guess you are pretty much out of luck, but otherwise it might be worth pulling for Ike? I just used 20k feathers to give Blarblade+ to Olwen for my first-string cavalry team. She does... a lot of damage now. Thinking I might need to switch from Glacies to Iceberg, though. Or maybe Glimmer now that it's on a 2 turn cd instead of 3. Got pity broken on the 8% banner on two separate occasions by Bridal Caeda and Carrot Xander. Shame on me for pulling blue when Hector's on the line. At least Caeda's bouquet gets a weapon forge upgrade? Carrot Xander is awful, though.
While carrot Xander is pretty terrible, his lance and badge ability are worth inheriting especially on to a unit u want to tank up. The lance has pretty high damage and is amazing for tempest trials.
I really want to see some new analysis of the healing+ abilities is rehab still the best one? what about the new weapons etc I cant see to find a website who can crunch the numbers

Man, the power creep over the last couple of months has been insane. And now we have Siegbert whose native kit gives him +10 atk/+4 def when he initiates combat... Gotta sell them orbs, I guess.

I think I might stream trying to beat all of the squad challenge maps just for fun after i finish my finals up.
has anyone run FEH off of a desktop emulator successfully in recent times? I know bluestacks/nox used to work, but I had issues with it the last time that I tried.
|
I was working my way through Squad Assault 2 after TT ended and man... that mode is annoying. Like, I've worked out a strat for 4 of the maps, and then I get to the 5th, do something silly, lose a unit... and then I have to do it all over again. I guess it's the authentic FE experience, but my smartphone-age attention span starts to flag after one attempt. Clearly, it's time to start meditating so I can enjoy FEH more.

hm, i still cant find any emulators that are working. might have to scrap that idea

Oh sweet, the Warriors maps are back. Was hurting for SP on some newer units, this will be great.

Farmed enough SP to spec my Felicia, Effie, Sharena, and Ike. Thanks Friday. (25x enemies, 2x SP, 2x SP from Lance Valor 3 = 300 SP from 10 stamina. That's pretty disgusting lmao)
might post my Felicia build in a bit, still undecided what C skill i want on her though.

What skills do you have on Felicia atm? I still have one at 4 stars waiting on queue for promotion since I have other stuff I want to promote ahead of her. But I'll get to her eventually since I like her design quite a lot.

+res -def is best IVs, +res is pretty damn important in general though for obvious reasons.
Weapon: Kitty Paddle+ (or Rogue Dagger+ (+Res))
Alt: whatever
Ult: Iceberg (or Glacies)
A: Distant Def 3 (Fury or Res 3 can work, but it's pretty much strictly worse)
B: your choice of: Guard, Windsweep, or (color)tomebreaker.
C: Def Ploy or Atk Ploy
My personal build (I should have guard 3, but I fucked up. Also my Felicia is +Res, -Atk): + Show Spoiler +
Weapon: I got lucky and got a Sakura in the halloween banner, so I used that weapon cause it's really good on her. Pretty much every other dagger just sucks, honestly, so just pick one that you like and put a res buff on it if you can afford the shards.
Ult: Iceberg and Glacies are both really strong. This and the B skill are probably the hardest decisions to make I think. Iceberg obviously hits a little bit earlier which is super important, but the extra damage from Glacies sometimes covers a breakpoint against a really buff mage. I find that I prefer Iceberg for easy PvE content and Glacies for Arena/harder things.
B: Again, you have a lot of flexibility here in the B slot. Picking a tomebreaker is probably the weakest option in general, but if you really need Felicia to specialize against a couple specific units, then this might be the way to go. Otherwise the choice of Guard/Windsweep pretty much comes down to how you want to use her specifically. Guard helps cover Felicias primary counter, Luna; while Windsweep helps Felicia proc her ult faster.

That's a pretty good build. I wish I have the spare fodder to be able to give Distant Defense or Kitty Paddle+ out like that. T_T
One thing though, why Windsweep? Seems a little bit out of place with the build in general. Also, I'd put Quick Riposte in the B-slot for mage baiting purposes but Guard sounds good too.

Windsweep gives you the chance to get a free attack off. It gives faster ult proccing relative to enemy gaining special charges and you can proc dagger effects without getting countered.
I would feel that with his build you will likely kill whatever you attacked with windsweep on your first counter, if it had the ability to attack you on the enemy turn. Is possible that he would focus on an attack, then pull back with rest of his team to prevent the enemy from attacking, allowing you to get free hits with no counters.
|
Wait, distant defense stacks!? That's messed up.
Also how about this power creep on the armors, I have a level 39 winter Chrom with over 50 attack and over 30 defense and resistance. And he comes with wary fighter 3 in his default kit to make up for his abysmal speed. What even...

All I want is winter Robin just because of the art lmao
Actually if I got a couple of these winter characters I'd probably finally make a full armor team. They seem to come pre-loaded with everything.

I made a team using the winter characters, can confirm that they are pretty good.

Issue is Windsweep stops counters from physical units only (axe, lance, sword, dagger, bow). Which really shouldn't be where Felicia focuses her attacks on. I guess it helps with bows and DC melee units but you'll likely just be trading 1 charge on your Glacies/Iceberg and some chip damage for 1 charge of Moonbow on the Ryoma or 1 charge of Bonfire on the Hector, which is a pretty even trade all things considered.

I really want a robin so i can make a cool build with his A skill.
Also, since I never mentioned my pulls on the holiday banner. I managed to save up about 60 orbs for the release. I pulled 3x 5* Chroms (2 seasonal, 1 regular chrom :p) on the same summoning session, so i guess I've spent all my luck for the rest of the year. Decided i'm just going to make Chrom my arena weight BST unit. WIP so far though Warriors maps are really really nice, because he can literally afk solo the map.

I would personally not recommend running QR. QR isn't quite as good on Felicia because she has such high SPD. You'd be better off running one of the three I listed (probably green tomebreaker specifically if you're scared of speedy mages).

I got Christmas Chrom off my free pull and nope'd out of the banner after. My precious orbs will be saved for something else. (Probably will waste them trying to pull for a Hector/B.Ike and not getting green orbs again.)
