Hmm, +2 Shanna or +3 Leif.

Or I could merge my 3 L!Hectors raise him up and swap out my core for a full fire team...

Leif it is. I have way too much TT grinding to do since I am going out of town for the last 5 days of it. No time to train L!Hector this week. Maybe next week.

Although I could go with a full flyer team with Shanna since I have Caeda, Myrrh, and F!Grima who are all +10.

In the meantime, I need to squeeze in my AA run at some point today. Thankfully it is water season so my ranking will be easily among the top of the top 1000.

Subbed out Grima for a nowhere-near-score-optimized Legendary Hector to take advantage of fire season score boosts (Zelgius and Hardin now have fire blessings), and I'm sitting at rank 441 right now with a score of 5,271.

I really need to start updating my preset teams to add in some more Legendary Heroes and blessings.

 

I ran into a team of 2 Myrrhs and 2 Legendary Hectors on the number sign fortification map and had Eldigan solo the whole thing with healing from Elise. Eldigan is awesome.

Hectors not running Armor March are also awesome.

Score time:

  • T20 score of 3676 - #1949/6267
  • AA score of 5233 - #1322

Used my armours off the bat in regular Arena because I didn't have time to mess around with multiple runs this week if my score fell too low. For the inability to do multiple runs, I knew I wasn't going to have any chance at top 1000. The reason is that I wanted to put more blessings on units, but was indecisive, so I did a run and took a hard look at each character I deployed, giving a good chunk of them blessings. Unfortunately, this meant I went a run with just +13 to my score when I probably could have done over +20. Oh, well. I kind of have doubts that extra 7 or so points would have gotten me in. Maybe next week.

Back to tier 19. Let's hope Linde doesn't tank my score too hard next week, although I think it'll be fine. Got 5 Def wins this time which is very nice, guess my team is still doing pretty smooth.

I guess I went a little overboard in AA, I was aiming for top 5k and instead got into the top 3k (rank 2,558 specifically). I didn't expect to be anywhere close to that considering this is an inflation week with both L!Hector and Fjorm being active.

Season 76 Results:

Score: 3,654
Defense: 0
Rank: Tier 20 --> 20

1BnJ7XE.png

I got confused this week when I entered my first arena game with only half the score I normally get -- like others, I thought we'd be starting the new rotation of bonus characters.  After that, I decided to give boosted Sharena a go.  Can't really say they helped much.  Before I would use her to stop some sword unit if needed, and she doesn't need +4 all-around to accomplish that.

First time I haven't gotten a defense win since November of last year.  Usually I can get at least a few even I have to forgo a bonus unit, but I guess folks were playing well this week.

The next bonus units are well timed for me.  I'm already pushing it for staying in tier 20 with +0 bonus units, and L!Hector's inclusion is not making it easier.  Thankfully, Shanna is also included in the lineup, allowing me to go all out and preserve my status for a few more weeks.

Arena Assault:

Rank: 3,298

Tiki is now +10, so I can't expect to score much higher than this for quite a while.

Got a pretty good AA run - it felt like I actually have the units needed for fairly easy matches! (score: 5062)

Moments included:
Sheena tanking and defeating The Reinhardt and flying Nino
Vector taking down +10 The Reinhardt and then Vantage+Glimmer'd a Nino down
Unironically deploying Merric and Canas into a match to take down a Catria and a Nino respectively
Taking down a heavily-merged flier team with Bridelia, VLilina (only there for Atk Tactic), PA Olivia, and Arvis
Saias taking down a very bulky Selena (she has 40+/32 listed Def/Res and has Brazen Def/Res 3)
Seeing stuff like Camilla without an A-slot and an OG Ephraim with Sapphire Lance.

Offense score of 3690 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 634 for max rewards.

Teams faced (streak):

I don't really have any of the bonus units built up except Anna, so I guess I'm rolling with her next week. Luckily, the core I have her working with is Armor Emblem, so score shouldn't be an issue.

Was a little surprised to see the first match offered was a 712. Looking at the recent T20 entry thresholds, that looked like it might just be enough to sneak back into T20 for the first time since 5-match arena was introduced. So I fished a little for 710+ scores and got a 3552. Hopefully that's enough to end my long exile (admittedly during which I hadn't been trying at all.

Horse Ephraim + 4
Cecilia 4*+10
Lilina +6
Lyon +0

Allready got a defense win with my Team:

Lector(+ATK-HP): Vanilla kit, Aethet, Distant def seal, rally res def

Effie(+Atk -SPD Brave Lance, galeforce, deathblow, bold fighter, armor march, atk 3 seal

Karel(+HP/-Res) Nameless blade (special refine), reposition, Vengeance, HP4/DEF2, Wrath 3, atk tactics, HP5 seal

Bride Lyn (+SPd): Gravity+ (wrathfull), Rehabilitate, Miracle, Atk SPD Bond, dazzling, savage blow x2

all +10

This Team got me like 20+ def wins last week

If I had kept my initial score of 3652, I would've been kicked down to T19. It was fringe.

I did a new run and scored 3656, which put me 1k+ ranks above the cutoff rank with less than 40 minutes left. I assume 3654 was also safe.

But yeah, this is the week I fall, I'm sure. It's been a good few seasons up in T20, but with only Anna at 5* (who has less SI put into her than my Sharena) for a bonus unit, T19 is certain.

 

Edit: I also did a quick full 7-battle run of AA for the first time in probably months, and scored 5083, which was top 10k in ranking. I should do a complete more often - the feathers are pretty nice. I think I can score 5100+ if I put all my highest arena scoring units in the first team.

Since I'm going down to tier 19 anyway, I'm trying a full bonus units team for regular Arena. Anna, Tiki, Tak-Tak and Lyon make it feel like TTs cheese.

On my first try I reached 5,098 in AA which is equal to my all-time highscore from last week, so I'm fine. Perhaps I'll rank a little higher, since water season is over. 

Glad I gave an Earth blessing to SS!Tiki, since she saved my a** in battle #7 by tanking and one-rounding an Effie (which couldn't be killed by my LA!Lilina).

As expected Linde tanked my score a bit but 3,632 should be more than enough to get back in tier 20. No defense wins yet but that was because I messed up last night and changed my team for something that scores way less, hopefully I'll get one soon now that I fixed that.

For AA the season doesn't favor me so I ended with a score of 5,132. I'll likely end out of the top 5k like always, last week was just an anomaly due to the stars aligning for my teams.

Yay, I got my Defense Win and Deathless Arena Assault on the first day, so I don't have to worry about that for the rest of the week.  I just might be able to stay in Tier 20 this week, but I might have to fish for scores a bit.

If I get some more Ares, I might merge him to +10 to replace his dad on my core Arena team.

I agree, the new bonus hero killing .... bonus is really bad, and the new crowns are really promoting the top of the crop (let's see the threshold first, though). Well, guess they will feel good about it? Otherwise, uuuh... Arena still sucks.

The bonus unit change basically amounts to this: All that effort on making my arena core strong has gone down the drain. Now I'll have to play Arena like my Eirika solos but instead of using my favorite unit I'll be forced to use the Askr trio+Fjorm to solo stuff (screw changing bonus units now, I'm not going to be building a new unit up to solo potential every 2-3 weeks for a few points) and I'll probably have to change Eirika for Marth because Drive buffbots will be better than ever. Reciprocal Aid will also become a lot more useful, I guess. Arrrgh, this change really pisses me off. At least AA remains playable as long as I coordinate blessings which is better than being forced to use units I don't really care about and Fjorm.

Whale tier is a non issue for me as I was never going to reach those levels, I just hope the extra rewards aren't too crazy.

I think you guys might be thinking about this Arena scoring thing from the wrong angle. The whaliest of whales don't really affect the majority of us all. Instead, however, those players who aren't heavily merged, especially if they've got promoted GHB heroes and Askr trio should have an easier time getting higher scores.

Oh yeah. There are vacant spots now in tier 20

Here are the datamined arena bonus units

Baited Tana with Micaiah, Catria flew towards her as well. Micaiah softed her up, Myrrh finished off. Laslow killed himself on Marth, Azura helped.
Always nice meeting familiar faces! Should I leave you a defence win? I can wait for an answer for a while.

Heyyy it is I. I've only ran into an SF peep once which was LordFrigid and that quite some time ago.

Edit: @Vaximillian I assume you might have ended your battle but you can go ahead and defeat it, I've gotten two already it seems.
