Score time:

  • T20 score of 3678 - #2870/6166
  • AA score of 5231 - #1596

Distributed more blessings so I could strategically deploy for score in AA. I couldn't do all slots, but I was able to get enough in to push my score something like 6-8 points higher than I got last week. Despite the raw increase, I can wrecked in ranks. How amusing. I guess it was expected, though, given my starting team is all water, so my base score would be inherently lower while the whales are throwing around legendary Hector +10s like they're nothing. Ah, well.

Oh boy, how much longer am I gonna be able to take this mode seriously. I gave up on defense, so no surprise there with my 0 wins, and I got kicked out of top 3k rather quickly today with 5186.... my god. It's already painfully dull to play AA, but redoing runs because of trash scoring is the worst. This week I got lucky afterwards and managed my first ever score of 5200, but that's the problem, it's just luck. No team gave any problems of getting beaten, I could use all the elements (except for the first match, of course, which is locked to water) and enemy teams are getting more boring by the run, but hey, that's how scoring works. Please game, give me merges..... I want to stay here a bit longer without having to get stressed out every week.

After that last FEH channel, though, I just can't possibly hope for any improvement anytime soon, so I'll hope to persevere instead.

Arena is about to go to shit. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

I think those king crowns are going to do something amazing, but only whales will be able to get them.  We are talking the top of tier 20 arena now right, not just tier 20, that is whale only zone.  They will get their own tier, with increased rewards, likely more orbs (probably 1 more) and a substantial amount more feathers to make it a big jump from the previous tier.  Currently you can bounce tier 18 and 19 (like I have been doing long time) and get same amount of orbs just miss on a few feathers.  This is going to make more people to hit the new arena tier, yet it will be very costly (money wise) to do so.  Perhaps it will birth new whales, perhaps some dolphins will take the plunge and become whales.

Now the king crown, this is an exclusive item that will only be available at that top of the mountain tier.  I don't think it is just going to be for bragging rights.  I think it may do something like let you reset a characters' nature to neutral, or provide a free merge, or something else really juicy.  However since this is whales only zone, throwing them such delectable morsels is fine, after all they are financing the game.  

I think arena has long needed a rework, but I don't think this is going to make things better.  Plus the randomness of getting bonus kills, well it is easier to get more bonus kills if you have advantage, and many of us will only have one bonus unit per week which means what the random matchups give us is going to be a huge factor in how many bonus kills that unit can get.

Yikes. That was too close. I felt an inflation like no other this week, probably thanks to that stupid Hector (good riddance, by the way). Water week should bring me back into the comfortable 3,000s.

I’d rather not talk about Arena...

Back to tier 20, I lucked out and got 1 Def win yesterday but losing those feathers would've made me feel bad.

On AA I went back to the usual, being just shy of the top 5k. Although it's funny, I've been in the 6k range for months and now I ended at rank 5,186. Anyways, if next season is Water then I'll try to see if I can perform the top 3k miracle again.

Offense score of 3668 (T20) remains in T20, combining with a defense score of 624 for max rewards.

Armor emblem this week. I ended up subbing in Leif as my bonus unit because he scores higher than Anna. I don't think I'm going to be a fan of the upcoming Arena changes. I guess that if it really comes down to it, I could run Dazzling Pain+ Elise, try to feed the bonus unit every KO, and hope it's enough to offset the negative scoring effects of running Elise.

Saved my AA run until the last second. Head just wasn't in the game this week, so naturally I got slapped with a bunch of low-scoring matches on the one run I managed to finish. I actually thought I wasn't going to make it. I goofed up selecting my units for the final match. Somehow, Niles ended up saving my butt. Thank goodness. 5169 got me top 5k. I had a pretty comfortable Arena run and ended up with 3572 and a handful of defensive wins. Lyon as a bonus unit ROCKS. 

Changes to the Arena make me nervous. I'd like to make it into the fancy tier once at least. I saw that Mae was going to be a bonus unit in the next rotation, and I have her at +10, so for the first time ever I'll be able to run a team of all 5*+10 units in the regular Arena...but unfortunately, it's also going to be during Fjorm week, so I'm not sure if my mages will cut it. I've got a Lukas merge project in the works who should score a little better, so we'll have to wait and see...

Season 77 Results:

Score: 3,682
Defense: 616
Rank: Tier 20 --> 20

Shanna bonus cycle plus L!Hector score inflation?  It's time to whip out the big guns.  Normally Hinoka would have taken the free slot, but seeing as how this was also Earth season, I figured this would be a good time to introduce a long-term project of mine: L!Robin.  After pulling two copies of her on Ryoma's legendary banner and deciding I very much liked how she played and what she could bring to my teams, I decided I wanted more.  As long as she continues to be run on legendary banners, I will pull for her until her merge level is maxed, and I'll be posting the summoning results in the pull thread after the relevant legendary banners for anyone interested in seeing those.  Should I be lucky enough to eventually pull what I need, Narcian will be taking well-deserved break from my arena core (Until we can get more copies, at least!).  Speaking of Narcian, he very much enjoyed the boost to his Hp and Spd Robin/Grima provided.  

This cycle marks the first time one of my highly merged units has been a bonus unit while the +4 stat boosts have been in effect.  Shanna already bowls over most units she fights, but this girl simply couldn't be stopped this week.  Not even double LaD Ravens could avoid getting double-attacked and killed.  She even managed to face-tank a Myrhh Bonfire after I had gotten careless and let her charge it up.  I'm going to miss those ridiculous stats after this cycle passes. =(

Wow, first time breaking into the top 3K in many months.  I got pretty lucky with the draws (a couple 746!), and I took advantage of blessings as much as I could. I doubt I'll be able to maintain this for long, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Got an alright AA run - 5070 score. Had a funny moment in which my 5*+0 Titania basically trolled an enemy Nowi into defeat. (Guard + Draconic Poleaxe + ally Canas' Res Tactic 3 buff = Nowi doing 0 damage and having no chance of proccing Aether)

Somehow, 3,658 held on to tier 20. We were ~100 away from being kicked out, as shown by this screenshot taken 20 minutes before closing time.

Aww man, I almost screwed up by thinking the new rotation would be today. Anyways, I ended normal arena with a score of 3,656 which will probably put me back in tier 19 because we still have the L!Hector inflation. 

I'll do AA later, although I don't expect to get into the top 5k with this terrible season.

Last AA season arrived to rank ~7k with a score of 5,098. The additional M!Marth merges (+7) gave me a new personal highscore of 5,117 today.  I'm curious if it will make a difference since it's neither Earth nor Water season. Don't think it'll be enough for top 5k though. 

Poor Roy, he'd need 3 additional merges +8) to arrive to M!Marths score.

Managed to surprisingly get back to tier 20 in my main thanks to Lector and fishing for 712+ matches. Fire week is nice for me with those blessings. Masked Marth merges also help.

the extra feathers makes up for not havinf a defense win at least.

Doing AA to beat my morning score of 4932 because during the run I fell on a "meh" score of 698(instead over 700).I went again and found very good score teams, then, at the final stage, I fall on armor team (Jacob, Tharja,L Hector and Lyn) and lose to them because of my lack of anti armor and their good stat. 

I hate armor units

@mampfoid So I decided to give WoM to Cordelia this week to see how it might improve my defenses, as you suggested. So far the results are..

YMGizVQ.jpg

Very good! It might also help that I switched in Soleil with Firesweep Sword + Drag Back, so the team has 2 strong Firesweep users. Cordelia and S Camilla also have the Guidance and Flier Formation seals, but they had the same last week so I don't know if those are really contributing.

3664 is about 500 ranks from dropping out of the t20 threshold, with ~34 hours remaining.

Fire-LHector week, even more cancerous than just LHector week. Off to t19 I fuck.

Have we had the Arena units for next week leaked?  I'm guessing Wallhart will probably be on there, but I'd like to see if I have any of the randoms are units I have already built before I sink too many resources into him.

Man, I got 3 extra Def wins when I forgot to change Pass. People are really caught off guard by odd skills, it seems.

Hmm, but is it water season? Might be time to give Nino 80k feathers to get to +8. The smarter thing would probably to build a non-horse Wind team but that'd require a non-Gunnthra wind hero to fully take advantage of it. I suppose I could build a team around an imaginary Bow Lucina.
