I could use my new KN!Hinoka and swap out her base skills and give her the Guidance seal.

...Or I could sacrifice 2 points and run my newly built +ATK/-DEF Lilina at +1.

...This is gonna be fun.

This Arena season was kind of rough on me. I was pretty spoiled the past two seasons with easy streaks, but this week took some work...maybe 30 or so crests to get a deathless streak. (A lot of those wasted trying to getting better match-ups.) IDK what happened. I guess it just wasn't my week.I'm ending with a score of 5080 (currently 3796/5573 to stay in tier 20). Defense wins were easy to come by at least. 

I switched things up and replaced Lucina with Lucius to see how things would go. My score didn't change much, and I ended up not needing her Falchion because Lucius's Pain helped a lot with...everything. I think I'll run him again next week. (Two more merges until he's +10. ;A; I should get another one after Arena reward feathers tomorrow.) And I get to run Shigure as my bonus unit! 

AA wasn't quite as bad. It took a few tries, but in my spare time, I've been focusing on building seven specific teams with my favorite characters that are well balanced. Did some trial runs this week, and I'm pretty satisfied. I may try to do the cool kid thing and film a run if I can find the time.

I ran into an... interesting team, to say the least.

I think the score was 706, and it was a cav team with Gronnblade Cecilia, Reinhardt, Raudhrblade Leo, and Xander...

At first I thought I was screwed. The map didn't have the greatest range of mobility (it was the map with the bridge with the 4 forts in the middle) and to ensure that each unit was killed, I'd have to separate my WE!Robin and WE!Tharja, which causes problems with getting them to move around.

But then... I looked again.

They ALL had TA3.

I had thought only Cecilia had it, but no, aside from Leo with TA2, they all had TA3.

That turned out to be the easiest match I had all day, plus it was worth a little more than other matches, so bonus.

I unfortunately end this week with no Arena Defense wins... but I barely scrape by Arena offense. God, that was stressful...

Also encountered an unusually low amount of wins this week. Not entirely sure why, but I didn't really have much for issues myself, so that's probably it.

Scores

  • Tier 20 score of 5104 - # 1947 (/5721)
  • AA score of 5200 - #1129

Bah, got low-balled hard on AA rolls (really frustrating when I got to start with a 750, but every subsequent match shed huge chunks of what could have been a decent final score), but wasn't able to take another crack at it. I guess I might have been more motivated to try to squeeze in some time for it if it wasn't a mere gamble to maybe improve the score by enough. I did get another merge on my Sheena, though, pushing her up to +9. Planning to throw a couple Drives at the dragons, too, so maybe it'll push me out of that precarious RNG spot.

Back to tier 20. The feathers left me 3k short of getting Cordelia to +7 (I'll grind a few hard CC to make up for the difference).

I got 4 defense wins this time. Not that surprising considering that the maps heavily favor the player this rotation, hopefully Siegbert will give me more defenses than Alfonse.

Top 10k in Assault.

Promoted Titania instead of my last Arvis to help this arena season. After thinking the team through, I put Hone Cavalry on her, then S!Sharena runs dual tactics, so L'Arachel can unleash a fully powered Blarblade+. Leif did well for me so far so he's my sword user.

Season 65 Results:

Score: 5,068
Defense: 618
Rank: Tier 20 --> 20

Changes from last week:

-Shanna got another merge (+6 to +7)

Bonus unit this week was my other prize from the Thracia banner, Nanna.  Being one of my most anticipated characters I went all out with her build, but it's really gimmicky and kind of useless outside of Horse Emblem.  Eventually I would like to give her Pain or Gravity so she can be more useful on mixed teams, but she pulled her weight well enough here with her Drives and healing support.

Offense score of 5162 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 628 for max rewards.

Another week of Ephraim following my flier team around. For the next set of bonus heroes I'll probably have Ryoma follow my flier team around. That, or put him on a team with Celica, Tana, and Julia, since it's been a while since those three were in the Arena. I might use Lilina over Ryoma for the latter option. I'm not sure yet.

Well. I'm planning on building a Fae as well as other few units for arena scoring. I feel as though now should be time to invest in preparations for tier 20

4922

Thought I'd post this as its my first time making it into Tier 20, My score was 4922, I have no merges on any of the units

 Ephraim is the first 5 star I ever summoned, and hes -atk +def

V.Ike is neutral because he was free,

LA Hector is -spd +res

and Robin is -hp +spd

 

Been focusing heavily on arena recently and have been able to get to 19 but never any higher until now, very happy I finally did it.

Not even 1 day and already got a defense win. That Chill Def is really putting work. 

I got a new AA score: 5064. I know this is Fjorm week so the inflation will be crazy but I hope this one will put me at least in the top 6k.

I'm the same actually, less that a day in and already have an arena defence ...somehow - took unitl the last two days last season before I got a win.

with the addtion of Speed Tactics my main Team is finally complete with everything:

<3 B!Ike, Saizo, Clair and Gunnthra. Giving me Defense wins to no end since months!!!
It is insane how easy it makes when your Team members get +6 buffs to each stat from Rainbow Tactics (most of them) and The enemy Team is debuffed from Saizos Smoke daggers

Arena: And I had to start fishing. Titania dropped my score a bit and I"m seeing 720-724 at the low end.

Assault: Fae the Fell Dragon destroyed my S!Camilla I brought in to counter K!Hinoka. Just took a beginner match for the third and encountered Est Emblem. Eh, I didn't have time for a full run.

Defenses: Main pulled defense wins from a 4+10 Titania lead and a Clarine lead. I knew Blarblade+ L'Arachel would do it. F2P alt got a defense win from a +1 Lilina fully built, I assume they just surrendered.

Praying that AA will get the same treatment but I'm not hopeful.

Defense wins are going to be a pain when you can expect everyone to fight your team to have at least one supercharged unit, many of us will be even more reliant on charity wins now.

As far as rewards go, the extras we get are 500 feathers, 1 orb, and some useless refining coins compared to the current reward. OK.

I'm not a fan of the boosted stats. There are too many people complaining about stuff like that. Lowering it to 5 battle steaks is fine, but also giving boosted stats to bonus units is going a bit too far. I guess it does allow an unmerged bonus unit to perform like a +10 merged unit with extra HP, which can match someone's core of three +10 units. The problem is that many whales who +10 one or more of every new banner are basically going to have a full team of +10's with the boosted stats on top of it.

The people in the upper echelon are going to have to purposely build defense teams that don't score so high so that they don't get matched with these super whale teams. Thankfully, my defense team will almost always have one unit who is +2 or +3 at most so the super whales won't get matched with me.

 

I always thought people had a harder time getting Defense wins consistently than they did getting a 7 win streak.

Do we know if offense tier rewards are going away entirely?

I hope they're not.  That's a loss of 3 orbs per week for those in tier 19-20, and one of the challenges I have the most fun with (and haven't beaten yet).  I was looking forward to the satisfaction of staying in tier 20 two weeks in a row, which I guess might still be there, but why should we lose the rewards for doing so?  5 battle streaks is great, but I really don't want the tier rewards to go away.  Just another loss of a bonus to those who can get into tier 20.

(I'm not a whale, but I still wish some things were more challenging instead of easier.  I'm already struggling to find things that are actually mildly challenging in the game.  Plus, that's three less orbs per week, which isn't huge, but still a loss.)

It is just the offense category where the max reward is 2500 feathers. Defense and Arena Tier rewards are staying.  All said and done, you will be able to earn 500 more feathers than before.

Oh, good.  My mistake.  Since the rewards come at the same time, I'd bundled the offense rewards with tier rewards.  Thank you!

I pulled +SPD -HP Kana, so this week I'm running full Dragon Emblem. Goad Dragons is giving them a nice offense boost together with Drive Attack 2.

5096 in normal Arena and now that I finally got A!Tiki to +10, my AA score got further improved. 5104 feels like a new high.

Running Camus, Camilla, Sheena and Gwendolyn this week and got 5,098 points.
This works out pretty well. I truly love the build on Camilla and hope the Weapon next week will fit with it.

Turned in a 4,917 in Assault. Had stupid deaths and low-scoring matches, and had to take on more Advanced matches. My comfort zone is about two or three Advanced matches and then relaxing.

I found Sigurd and Zelgius can easily handle L!Lyn.
