Shade

I am running a high atk 4* Setsuna who seem to work pretty decent in arena, but she get outclassed by Gordin overall. Probably going to try clearing the game with my 4*s, but going to take a lot more time to level a variety to cover the chapter requirements. I am stuck at C9-2 Hard, do not have Tiki or Fae, and only just got my 4* Level 1 Nowi. @Wuppeteer Henry is a pain to level, and honestly even at higher levels his damage output is pretty pathetic (he takes a few hits to kill a green knight) unless he triggers his pink skill. The biggest problem with him is that while you are trying to bomb some knights with him, another mage (on a horse, because AI cheats) is going to run over and OHKO little slow Henry. He can tank swords and axes like a wall, but it is very likely he gets OHKO even by green tomes before he can get in range of anything else. I liked him so I tried adding him to the roster, but gave up around level 26 and switched to Tharja :(

Did not expect the 4* and 5* to be this disproportionately different in strength at the start :\ And honestly did not expect my luck to be this bad... thought I would have been good to go if I get any 5* before lvl 30. (I didnt) Now I am far enough into the game that I am not really that keen on rerolling, but I am starting to see my units getting overrun quickly in Hard Chapter 9. All the lucky friends with their army of 5* lords are telling me to restart the game saying its impossible to clear lunatic without. Thus me coming here to see if it is going to be as bad as they claim :|

Currently on 50 pulls and a total of zero 5*, and not a single 4* lord-class hero. Just wanna know if it is near impossible to play at end-game (high lunatic/arena) with a full 4* team, assuming I do not pay for orbs?
