I am a fairly new player and I've been wondering how the reruns work. (Like today's Oliver's GHB.) Do people who already cleared them in the past get more copies of a character?

The map rewards don't reset, but there is one additional copy of the character available by doing the associated quest.

Thanks for the answer!

Does it worth doing the quest for the 3* Oliver?

If you don't want to play Oliver or merge him, at least he is fodder for Blazing Light and Mirror Strike at 4*.

or sell him for feather lol. The easiest way for this quest is using Ensnared by Beauty map from Book 2 chapter 3.

If I merge a unit with a blessing into another unit, will the boosted unit get that blessing or is it gone forever?

Blessings will be kept (not sure what happens if both units have a blessing). You can always check what the resulting unit will have after a merge on the confirmation screen by tap-holding on the "after" character icon.

@Xenomata @Ice Dragon Thanks for the input guys!

The "despite her nature" part was due to the fact I totally prefer an offensive nature that'll push her stats a bit more with LnD. It also matters to me that LnD is still quite precious and rare to me and makes me wonder if I want to put it on a unit with a sub optimal nature or keep it for a future unit that might come with its optimal nature and make more use of it.

The units who would make "better" use of LnD3 mostly consist of glass cannons, see Nino, Tharja, Linde...

If Karla is someone you think can take advantage of LnD3, go for it. She's a fast and powerful unit even without a directly beneficial nature, and she easily reaches 50 speed with just a little support. Her being -Atk for you is probably the best case doomsday scenario, since she'd otherwise have the speed equal to most other sword units.

Ao I just pulled a Lene on the Bridal Bloom banner. She's +Atk -Res and my Olivias are strictly for utility, so I thought I'd build her as more offensive support. Any recommended builds for that?

Just build her like any regular unit. She will require buffs if you actually want her to kill things though.

Wo Dao [Spd] / Slaying Edge [Spd]
Moonbow
Fury / Life and Death / Swift Sparrow
Desperation
Speed +3

In my opinion, Gem Weapon/Triangle Adept builds are more practical for a Player Phase team to relieve pressure on allied nukes. For example, Reinhardt is going to have a tough time dealing with green mages and green armors, however, if he has Lene as a Dancer support, she can run these builds to specifically counter greens and allow Reinhardt to fist enemies with impunity.

Ruby Sword
Moonbow / Glimmer
Fury / Distant Counter
Quick Riposte
Close Def / Distant Def

Armorsmasher [Atk] / Armorsmasher [Def]
Moonbow / Glimmer
Triangle Adept
Quick Riposte / Axebreaker
Close Def / Distant Def

Thanks, I'll keep those in mind. My thought is to turn her into a support killer like my Airzura, who gets rid of most blues in a pinch. With that in mind a Ruby Sword build might be most desireable, but I wouldn't want her to take hits with her low bulk (moreso on account of her lowered Res). Would switching QR with Desperation be a good idea? (Along with a different seal ofc)

As long as the unit's Def and Res are not like 13 or something, Gem Weapons on top of Close Def/Distant Def is enough for most units to receive little to no damage from the weaker color.

For Lene, unless she is going for the first Player Phase build, she is not going to reach 40+ Spd without a Weapon Refinement, so Desperation is not going to matter most of the time in my opinion.

If you are really worried about her low Def, you can keep her Safeguard and have her run Triangle Adept instead of the Ruby Sword-Fury combo.

After weighing my options, I think I'm going with Safeguard and TA, since that seems the most cost-effective option too, and she can at least damage the green armours enough to help my Micaiah take them out. Thanks for the help!

[Usana]

So here is a question. When thinking about what I want to do with my Sanaki I of course considered a ward flier team. Ward is obviously only on Minerva and Shigure. I have both after a random 4* Shigure showed up fairly recently. And I really think his and Sanaki's outfits go well together. He would make an excellent escort for her, no?

So what is the problem? My Shigure is a +SPD/-ATK and promoting an ATK bane just seems to go against everything in me. Particularly since the Harmonic series is 1 less mt on top of that. At the same time 30 base attack isn't terrible. It just ain't particularly good. Unfortunately Harmonic is no Hauteclere so I get the feeling he might just end up hanging around as a Ward bot.

[mampfoid]

@Usana Also NY!Camilla has Ward Fliers.

Since Shigure is in the 4* pool, you could give Harmonic Lance and Ward Fliers to someone else (Valter?). But perhaps you should consider other buffs for a mixed team, such as Drive or Tactic skills. Also Tanas Guidance could become handy.

Is it a good idea too swap iv for mRobin from +spd -hp to +def -spd? I was thinking that the extra defense will help his bonfire proc and tank archers better.

I personally think so, since there aren't many meta archers that want to be around 32 Speed anyways. You are either higher, in the 40s, or lower, in the 20s with a Brave Bow.

You might be able to outpace a few Red mages, but I honestly don't think it's that big an issue when Quick Riposte and Breaker skills exist.

What's the effect in the end, 1 more Bonfire damage? Did he ever die to an Archer in AA? 

If he isn't on your main team, I would invest the feathers otherwise.

I would say no, especially if you're running TA3 + Raventome. His defense should already be good enough to tank colourless, and being +spd means he gets doubled by less things in general.

Yes, I would suggest to -Spd him too and choose +Atk or +Def.

32 Spd at +0 or 36 Spd at +10 merge is too low to the 40+ Spd meta these days. Only Quick Riposte and Breakers can help him win.

I second @mampfoid. I would save your resources and put it to use elsewhere. Triangle Adept on top of 29 Def is enough to tank things.

Pulled a +Def -Atk S!Cordelia on the new banner and am currently mulling over which build I should give her. 

With her normal lance, I'm thinking a player phase build with Deathblow and maaaybe Desperation might work out. +some horsebuff.

On the other hand, with that defense, she could work on enemy phase with Fury (budget) and QR. Just need to think of another lance.

OR I could break the feather bank and maybe invest in an expensive Firesweep build (including Deathblow).

Thoughts?

I think it's hard to justify the enemy phase build when Camus is free. (As are Finn, Berkut and Clive)

I'd go with the cheaper first option of keeping her weapon I think. Getting a good Oscar shouldn't be too hard and the Firesweep investment would be better value on him probably, lose one speed but easily merged to compensate and a fair bit more atk.
