For me it's mostly just the fact that it's a Fire Emblem game. That may sound dumb, but having played games in the franchise for over a decade, it's really fun to collect and use my favourite characters, get re-introduced to characters I had overlooked in the past, or to get exposure to characters from the games I haven't gotten around to playing/completing in the series. For someone who may not have played the series very much, the game holds up very well as a gacha with great gameplay and a lot of realy fun potential customization with how you play. And future updates promise to make it even better! August is going to be a great month to start with loads of free orbs (in-game currency) coming and great characters being more available in the near future.

He currently has Triangle Adept but holy crap I'm honestly surprised I didn't think of using Moonbow, I guess I'm sort of biased against it since I like to see other specials get used more. And honestly, I think I may go with Iceberg instead and probably with the Close Counter after all. With the 3 charge special he even gets good matchups against a decent number of reds, and assuming he gets doubled every time (he has 19 speed and gets doubled by neutral Hector so I think this is a pretty safe assumption), the 3 charge special is better on him than Moonbow. I also plan on using him with either getting buffed by Fortify Cavalry or Rally Def/Fortify Res Seal. Thanks for the reply and helping to remind me of some other options!

Another thought for Olivia is that if you played Tempest Trials, you could give her Tobin's Armorslayer+ so she can kill Hector, Draug, Sheena if she doesn't carry Granni's Shield, break Zephiel's Wary Fighter and still do her anti-green job relatively well although she would take more damage from green mages. Either way she is definitely worth the promotion as it will just make her generally better which will be very nice for you in the future of the game as you are indeed almost guaranteed to keep using her. Also, I just used my most recent 20000 feathers to promote Henry and the Raurraven+ inheritence is so nice (Leo loves his new book). Olivia or Henry would be my top 2 out of your given options.

Thoughts on my Leo build? He is +HP/-Spd so I have him with Raurraven+, Quick Riposte, Reposition and Glacies currently. I chose Glacies over Iceberg due to Leo's tendency to get doubled as with 19 speed and Quick Riposte, he has a very high tendency to use four actions in a single round of combat, setting up Glacies for an OHKO in the next turn. He has Triangle Adept at the moment as well and he will probably be getting Hone Cavalry once he gets the SP for it. He works really well against non-blue mages and archers, but my dilemma is that I also have a +Spd/-Def Takumi that is gathering dust on the bench at the moment. Takumi served me really well in the early days of the game and with SI, he got Vantage and kept wrecking shit and I gave him some support skills like Rally Attack and Hone Spd to avoid having too many red units when I rely on Eirika for buffs. Part of me really wants to feed Takumi to Leo for Close Counter as it would make Leo even better, but at this point I'm not sure if it's worth sacrificing the Takumi I put so much work into so long ago...

Go for Hana with the Brave Sword! At least if she is +Spd or +Atk as with LaD, great speed and attack, all she needs is Desperation, Threaten Def or Spd, and Luna to build her quad-Hana set. Otherwise I would actually give it to Alphonse as being a main character, he is almost guaranteed to be repeatedly useful for Arena and certain quests and giving him a Brave Sword is the easiest way to make him usable. As for the Renewal, Hector is probably the next bet as his weapon gives him Quick Riposte which both frees up his B slot AND makes him reliant on keeping his health high to be good. Any other characters that have non-B slot skills that require high HP and tanks that you aren't using a breaker skill on are good candidates as well.

Distant Counter would be great with Quick Riposte... barring that, if you just want to bait with her, then the Wary Fighter would be a good idea and the pair with WoM Reinhardt could be cool although as a mounted mage he will likely not be using WoM so much and it could maybe be better used on someone else. If you pair her with a melee unit with WoM, Sheena can bait a mage, drop below 50, and then your melee unit can come in, especially since melee units have lower range and so appreciate WoM a lot more than Reinhardt would. If you had something warp-healing Linde possible to make though, that could be a great partner as she will swoop in, kill and heal Sheena back to Wary Fighter range. Another cool idea though it probably wouldn't be totally efficient: Sheena, with her killer axe, -Spd and Quick Riposte would be able to actually make relatively good use of a 5 charge special like Aether or one of the AoE ones. If she gets attacked by a melee enemy that can double her and not die on her first counterattack (so most axe or lance users), 4 actions will be used in that one round of combat, getting the 5 action special to go off on Sheena's first attack at the beginning of your next turn. Obviously this build would be best with Distant Counter so it could work against mages too, but something like Triangle Adept (to keep you in QR range after fighting blues) or stat-boosting abilities will work as well.

Nice, these stones are yours.

I'll take Cordelia, Titania, Anna, Gonzales and Kagero.

First hand over the waifus.

Hi all, I've been a member the fire emblem subreddit for a few years and have used serenesforest as a great resource many times before but I am now just starting to get into the actual forums here. I've been playing Fire Emblem since the early 2000s when a friend let me borrow his copy of FE7. I've played FE 4, 6, 12 and every western release in the main franchise except Revelations to varying levels of completion. My favourite entry in the series is probably a toss-up between Radiant Dawn or Sacred Stones, with Cormag being my favourite character in the series. I'm a pretty casual player and am just looking to have a good time whenever I pick a new FE game. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!
