A score of 3729 is currently rank 2017 out of 3856.

I'd estimate the cutoff to be near the higher end of the 3750-3760 range.

My initial run with a score of 3745 fell to the 1400s before I did my serious run. It's really bunched up in there so I wouldn't be surprised if the cut off was as low as 3752 right now. By the end of the season it will most likely be 3760 or higher though.

Using coins to upgrade Poison Strike... I don't think I have it in me to do that.

We haven't gotten anything to upgrade for a long while so I had like over 450 coins. Poison Strike just happened to be perfect for letting Effie chip strong greens down and it is worth 240 SP so I didn't think twice about it.

 

Defense wins are at 57+ now. #50 was kind enough to lose a 2nd time.

Looks strong! Matthew will make a great babysitter. Am I seeing the final merge on him? O_o

I wouldn't invest too much in bonus units who don't return as regularly as Askir & Co. Would you use GF on Frederick at all? I mean it works on my Cherche and she is similar to him. 

I guess Chrom will replace Nino as soon as he gets flooded by merges? Too bad ranged units are so limited in their scoring potential. She is missing also expensive skills. 

Dual Rallys suck, I'm curious how I'll get along with them. Future Vision was fantastic this week in comparison. 

Yeah I goofed on that. Still waiting on that +10. There were 3 colorless stones in today's free summon circle, but I have to save my orbs, so I took a pass. I'll probably just stick to whatever unit gives the biggest bonus for the week. No point using up resources for short-term gain. It's only a crown and an orb. I just want to reach that tier at least once.

Chrom will likely replace Nino. Fae could do it too, but that would be expensive. She's likely a better choice though, if I sacrifice... wouldn't you know it, a Chrom! At least she has Dual Rallies in the meantime.

For PP units dual rallies are more annoying. For EP units though they can save your bacon. Still can be a liability when compared to positioning skills. I had to switch Matt to Draw Back in order to get through this week's Arena and I still won't make it to T21. I'm staying in tier 20 for the first time this week though. Ice Dragon and Hilda were right. All this is doing is giving the whales their own tier. At least for the time being.

Hey cool, I wasn't able to do this last week.

Good luck next week! Sooner or later, it'll happen.

Yeah, we'll get there. Next week will be crazy with everyone using CYL2 units for arena. I don't know if I'll be able to do it but we'll see.

So, uh, it completely slipped my mind that I should have levelled CYL Hector over the weekend because he'd inevitably be a bonus unit this week. Oops. Oh well, I'll get by with Veronica or Palla as the week begins and do my real run later.

Bonus units:

CYL2 units
Narcian
Gordin
Palla
Green Olwen
Lute
Sharena

On account of the cutoff to stay in Tier 21 being absolutely ridiculous, I decided to take drastic measures and actually exercise my old whale muscles to pull off something equally ridiculous.

Zelgius, Hardin, and Grima all got wind blessings. Zelgius got Armor March because not having Myrrh around to provide Guidance is a pain. And holy shit was this the easiest time I've had in the Arena in quite some time. I should have done the Armor March inheritance much earlier.

I suppose it helps that the oasis map is in this rotation, being one of the best maps for armors, and Legendary Lucina being a bonus unit means she has a more than usable 42 Def when buffed and standing on a fortification tile. Taking single-digit damage from Hardin was an awesome feeling.

Lucina being able to shake off Chill Spd and Chilling Seal from her using Future Vision was key to her success in actually killing things.

Tier 21
Score: 3,793 (748-754)
Rank: 148 (out of 3,991, 1,197 cutoff)
Defense: 634 (×15+)

+10 Zelgius [+Atk, -HP] (Alondite, Rally Def/Res, Black Luna, Steady Breath, Warp Powder, Armor March 3, Close Def 3) [Wind]
+10 Dark Hardin [+Atk, -Spd] (Gradivus, Rally Def/Res, Aether, Steady Breath, Bold Fighter 3, Ward Armor, Quick Riposte 3) [Wind]
+10 Dark Robin (M) [+Atk, -HP] (Expiration, Rally Def/Res, Aether, Steady Breath, Vengeful Fighter 3, Ward Armor, Drive Def 2) [Wind]
+10 Legendary Lucina [+Atk, -Def] (Thogn, Future Vision, Luna, Swift Sparrow 2, Guard 3, Distant Guard 3, Flashing Blade 3)

 

Now to just leisurely grab my Arena Assault streak and be done for the week.

EDIT: A score of 5,264 with my Arena offense team as my lead puts me comfortably at rank 345.

 

I hope my paycheck comes in on the first of the month instead of third (because the first is a Saturday) so I can get some time to pull from the Brave banner before next season ends. I've got no one on the next bonus unit set ready for use.

@Ice Dragon - I figured you would have had a much higher score than that with a +10 L!Lucina. With my team of +1 L!Lucina, +10 Effie, +10 Gunnthra, and +10 Soleil I have a score 1 point higher than yours. Which has me at rank 141 out of 4013 currently.

My Gunnthra does have a nature that puts her in the 145 BST bin, but she is still worth far less than any Armor. I guess my double blessing boost is pretty valuable.

Like you, I am going to have to pull for the CYL 2 units to get a bonus unit next week. None of the 5*s I have for next week have any merges.

 

Defense wins are up to 74+ for the week. I wonder if I can get over 80.  I'm surprised my team was matched up so many times let alone able to actually get that many wins...

I was extremely lazy at feeding Lucina kills. I think I only managed to give Lucina 11 kills. Maybe 13. Definitely not 15.

Pretty bad arena rotation for me. Hopefully I can pull off getting back into t21 with Veronica, but it looks like it'll be tough with most people running the other CYLs that score better as their bonus too. My Sharena's still 3* and I have either not promoted or don't own any of the other units.

Wanted to get into top 5k AA again for the first time in months and nearly made it to top 3k (3,200th currently) ... lol. 

/Ended 3,308th, don't remember when I ranked that high. Probably in the beginning of this mode.

  • T21 score of 3716 - #2882/1212
  • AA score of 5236 - #1334

Well, expected results all around. Didn't try that hard for regular Arena because I just can't score high enough (I was twice as far from the current threshold when I got in with my score that was about 20 points higher and that's more or less nearing my limit), so I need to wait for T21 to fill out more before I can even attempt staying. AA is more or less the exact same because my teams' been stagnating. However, I've got over 350 orbs saved and ready for pulling tonight, so maybe I'll end up +10ing Lucina and getting no Fjorms be able to finally complete that Gwendolyn (still need that +Spd, though...) and add some significant merges to Fjorm.

I wonder if the game displays your total number of crowns gained or just how many you've gotten consecutively. Guess we'll find out for people who go back up to 21 after dropping down this week, and see if it displays 2 or starts back off at 1.

Season 82 Results:

Score: 3,681
Defense: 612
Rank: Great Summoner --> Tier 20

E1YrMxp.png

There was zero chance that I was holding on to Great Summoner this week, so I took it easy and let my crests start building up again.  Wasn't fighting for points this time, so Narcian gets back in on the action, along with a movement assist and Iote's Shield to counter all the L!Lucina running around.  You might notice his stats are lower than usual -- I'm using him as part of this week's RD feather grinding strat, and even with an Emerald Axe and LaD2 equipped the enemy Ike still can't knock him into WoM2 range if he has summoner support.  Naturally, he'll be getting it back soon for this upcoming bonus-unit cycle.  He's not usually one to get kills against any non-blue unit, but I have some ideas for how I can make it work. >=)

Nearly every participant had an appropriate blessing just like last week, but the game didn't see fit to give me high rolls.

Offense score of 3779 (T21) remains in T21, combining with a defense score of 620 for max rewards.

Another week of feeding Arvis KOs, though he only picked up 19/20, because I forgot Myrrh had Aether fully charged and left her in the range of a stat ploy-ed Effie.

I have no idea who I'll use as my bonus unit next week. I may just use the excuse to continue my GHB hero merge project and build up Narcian. I'm a little hesitant to do so because I'd probably have to switch out his weapon, and I'm not sure I have an axe lined up for him. I guess I could just run my +0 Hector and see what happens. He should be pretty easy to feed KOs to.

Dropped to tier 18, but that's not that surprising since I didn't go out of my way to set up kills for Alfonse. I think I'm going to go with Sharena for the next season since she is actually built.

Finished comfortably in the top reward groups for AA and Arena. And made it to 80+ defense wins.

Now I need to pull for some CYL 2 units to make my team for next week. Gonna have to throw Lute or Green Olwen on the team in the meantime.

No acknowledgement of people on your friends list who have dropped down from T21 either, it's as if they've never been there.

So now people will put a inventory screenshot in their signatures?
