's Azura best, as -hp is the best IV for Triangle Adept users.
I like her native skill set, it's quite good for a dancer, so I'll be keeping her Triangle Adept and Drive Res. I might eventually swap out Drive Res for something like Spur Spd, but it's fine for now. For her special, mine is +Res, so I'll go with Iceberg, since I have plenty of fodder for it. Moonbow would be a good option for her too.Just got Performing Azura woohoo! Finally, the Azura with the superior dress.
According to Gamepress, she's a -HP and +DEF iv. How is everyone else that have her building her?
If I had to make a guess, some time in the middle of the month. I would say around 10/14-10/15 is when the next banner should begin.
. +Spd/-Def at that too.
Nice! 5* characters on the free roll are always a treat. Guess she was waiting around to slay some dragons for you? I wish the game would eventually get around to giving me a regular Lucina! But I have the CYL Lucina, and Masked Marth, so I guess I'm doing okay in the Lucina department.So there's a manakete voting gauntlet coming up, and the associated summoning banners are already up.
I don't have **** for orbs because Performing Arts banner, but y'know, free first roll so I did that, and--this is probably slightly ironic given the banner theme--the RNGoddess gave me
That was nice, I did want her, and I wasn't even expecting to get anything from my free rolls either.
I'd recommend starting with Sophia, I don't think it's very likely she'll make it past the first round, unless she gets an upset. Nowi is decently popular, a pretty strong unit, and an Awakening character, so she's more likely to make it past round 1. I'm not sure how well she'll do, since she's not one of the most popular Awakening characters, but I imagine it'll carry her harder through the round than Sophia. If Nowi makes it through r1, you'll be more likely to be able to support both of your characters, and Sophia will gift you with a nice bit of points starting off as an underdog character, which means more feathers lol. That's part of my logic in choosing team M!Corrin, I know he's an underdog character, so I'll take what time I can supporting him, and snag those free feathers in the meantime lol.
I run a similar set with my Ike. I have Threaten Speed over Threaten Attack, but the latter is better for Heavy Blade.Today is the last day of Tempest Trials. My rank is hovering around rank 1500 atm, and I'm trying to decide if I have the time and energy to try and grind into the top 1000. It'd be a tough climb though, and I'd probably need to use a few stamina potions, so idk. This tempest trials was particularly fun, since I have had my reliable +1 Ike to carry me as my bonus unit lol. I've maxed out his HM, and I'm close to maxing out his SP at this point lmao. I didn't really use Ike prior to this TT, simply because I have so many red units, but after using him, I have a newfound respect for just how strong he is as a unit. Here he is with his Tempest Trials boosted stats:
![]()
My main clear team was him, Brave Ike (S supported with regular Ike because tbh they are amazing together), Nowi (tri adept 2 + sword breaker 2 = consistent Black Knight counter), and Mask Marth (Healer set with HP+5, Renewal 3, Hone Speed 3, and the HP+3 seal, caps out at 52 health and is decently bulky, and can fully heal most of my units). Nowi and Mask Marth have S support as well.
There are two routes you can go for:
That sounds like a great team. And yeah, I gave my Ike threaten atk to make his heavy blade work better lol. His self-healing came in clutch in a lot of situations thanks to fast proc'ing aether. I know what you mean about Reinhardt not OHKO'ing BK, I was surprised my first run by that. I had to let another unit take heavy damage to put some chip damage on BK, or Rein needed to have his special charged in order to guarantee a clean KO on BK. I've been using Subaki and my fliers as my main backup team instead, since my 5* Subaki with moonbow and quick riposte doesn't get doubled and can KO BK most of the time (sapphire lance ftw). He can also double BK on player phase if enough of my goad flier support units are in range lol.
My Ike hasn't seen any action in this TT because his Hero Merit was already maxed out. Instead, my main team has been Elincia, Brave Lucina, Brave Lyn, and a healer. The healer was originally Lachesis, but she maxed out her HM, so I switched to Sakura. Elincia and Lucina are S-supported, so with Lucina nearby, she has no trouble quadding pretty much everything under the sun. They usually get perfect runs.
I feel you, have the same thing with Robin and F!Robin. Just works nice together.
Haha, yeah, I forgot, but I actually have them paired too! They do work pretty well together.
I know what you mean lol. I use my main team for the extra bonuses at the beginning of the day, but I've swapped all my units out except Ike, who is my only 40% bonus unit. The second team isn't strong enough to make it all the way through 7 maps, but it helps some of my less-used units get HM. Right now I'm working on my Summer Robin, Raven, and Priscilla. I'm not sure what the actual best set is for Robin, but I've been getting a lot of mileage out of this set (and yes, I've temporarily transferred Mask Marth's HP+3 seal lol).
Well, you lucky guy got a +spd S!Robin! You can slap Fury3 on it for an immensively double&tank potential, (+5 to all stats at 100% hp...!), but your current build is just fine, and likely better for PvE content.
Alas, steady breath isn't going to be an option for my Summer Robin, I have but 1 brave Ike, and he is <3 not fodder lmao. I've thought about giving Robin fury for the reasons you stated and as you noted, the HP+ from her default A skill helps her be more consistent in PvE. 8 damage in recoil from fury + her harpoon would make it hard for her to be consistent in stamina modes like TT, and that's where I use her most, along with lance valoring new lance units I'm training lol.Well, you lucky guy got a +spd S!Robin!

Steady stance works on her surprisingly well too, if you ever consider it.
And unique builds?

I Summoner Supported her, because she'd be able to tank archers/mages, -and- heal back up with aether and Renewal. Her atk is thanks the Summoner support and the seal high enough to procc against the heavily boosted TT/GHB units too!
She's a blast to use.![]()
My second Treasure. Naga+Seal+Distant Def ==> +10def/res while being attacked. I can kill Brave-Lyns with that, it's amazing. Reinhardt doesn't even scratch her. Julia is my most common Unit that breaks pity-rates, so it's "unlucky luck" I'd say.
BONUS:

And this is purely for jokes, for the upcoming Dragon-Voting-Gauntlet, I gave her these skills. Nothing will survive... mwahaha!
I considered it, but I'm honestly far more used to reddits style of questionthreads, as it doesn't clutter the entire screen up, and doesn't meet as many conflicting informations, where 7 people try to offer you different things at the same time.
I said Steady Stance.
I was in it for a little while, but I left. It's better than the subreddit's discord, which is far too big for me, but I didn't feel like sticking around. I'm still in the Fire Emblem GAF server, which is where the gamepedia people build the tier list (they actually sit down and go through units build by build and test them in the battle sim, it's actually interesting to see how much work they put into finding each unit's optimal build), but I don't talk in there very often myself. Since I have less time in general, I'm less active in most online forums at this point. (It may seem like I'm active here, but I only have to check / post once per day to keep up with it lol).
Ooooooh....Steady stance sounds intriguing, but I'm still pretty hesitant to use a limited availability unit. Won't get another 4* BK until there's another mini-Tempest Trials, I would guess, and who knows how long that'll be? Took me 2 revivals of Narcian before I finally started using him for lance breaker 3 fodder lol. Black Knight is so good, he's also another candidate for a feather project. Robin'd be a prime candidate among my current barracks for steady stance though.

I've added both of you. Name is Symphonia and current lead is Reinhardt though I might change him later
That Hector! Lmao!
Yes, I had fun coming up with all of the most useful things to put on Hector, since I needed to make room in my barracks. As for Cecilia, you're correct, she's +Spd/-Def. Desperation is a very good skill on her, it's been especially useful in conjunction with Darting Blow. With Hone Cav and Darting Blow, she gets 42 spd on the offensive, so she doubles most things. I also went with a 4*+10 since it's virtually the equivalent of a 5*+5, but at a fraction of the cost, and she's quite a common pull, so the 4*+10 route wouldn't take forever.
Just so. ~ I accepted your friend request lol.
). I've also been making 4*+10 versions of all the healers just so I can use them in tempest trials for hero merit grinding. Also been building them with defiant skills because tbh I can't think of a better way to use a random 4* Beruka or 4* Est atm. Those two are pretty far down on my list of units I would want to build. I've got a mostly complete 4*+8 Sophia, and a 4*+6 Virion I built out to clean out space. Sophia does an excellent job checking Brave Lyns, so long as they don't have cancel affinity, as I gave her a budget raven tome build (no 5* upgrades, but not + raurraven and tri adept 2). My next project unit is going to be Hana, who I'm pretty sure I have enough of to create a 4*+10 already lol. I'm just hoping I have an optimal nature one, +spd -res, I believe. I almost have enough Ninos to do the same, but I'm torn, because Nino is such a good unit. I'm tempted to go with a 5* Nino with the best nature, and use the rest for skill inheritance (draw back for everyone!)
In that case, here's some of mine (though don't expect anything too mind blowing). Any advice for improvement is appreciated.
Meanwhile, i just thought of my Black Knight build i posted in the last page and realzing just how much more broken it's gonna be with both Steady Stance AND and upgraded Distant Defense seal. It's gonna be so good. It's gonna be so evil. I love it.
I want a remake too, so it can fix all the abysmal gameplay problems Genealogy has.
The best thing about these Sacred Seals is that if you put investment into them, you could use that level 3 SS and not have to sacrifice a 5 star. So you can get away with Distant Defense 3 and Panic Ploy 3 without having to sacrifice Celica for Distant Defense and Valter or Luke for Panic Ploy.
Genealogy is in my opinion, the most overrated game in the series. While the generation 1 story is really good, second gen throws all of that out of the water, very dissapointing in my opinion. But hey, at least the gameplay isn't as atrocious as Thracia 776!
