Training Tower Quest Woes

[shadowofchaos]

So I only now did the infantry one.

Safe to say I'm not making it for the other quests.

I did it with a 5* Gwendy (personally promoted) and 4* Sheena and 2 x Draug. It pretty much murdered me and used all my blessings, but it is doable... just... Is it worth it? Still debatable, but nice to see all the ticks there. Man I hope they give us a better armour soon (Zephiel would be a good start when he comes... depending on stats and skills...). If I ever pull a Hector, you'll probably hear my happy screams from wherever you are xD

9-2 ... has a Zephiel. He seems to be like a Red Hector. Here I thought Zelgius would take that spot too.

However Zephiel doesnt come with DC. which literally helps alot in Hector case. I believe there's at least 2/14 times that I did it.. and won. All I did was position Hector and he won. However... it doesnt always work. Tried it with some heavy mages and Hector died.

 

14/15 Armor. (1 left)

Finished the rest

 

Still have 7-5 to do ... Z.Z and all the other lunatic quest.

My best map was the one where there's trees lining everywhere and just one space for a knight. So often, it was cavalry and not infantry, and seemed to be lances and swords, so I could position Gwen and then line the others up behind her. I think I won at least five times no deaths because of that map.

A Hector would have been a dream... any kind of distant counter. That being said, giving him vantage 3 and distant counter (if that's possible) and the whole thing feels like it would be ten times easier >.<

yeah. I dont have Vantage 3 sadly.

hell I dont even have Fury 3. Pivot.

 

I have awful inheriting skill. Just completed 15/15... DONE.

and the last map is... the map you just described.

 

Why afraid... when I saw a Ruby Sword+ Palla... thought gonna get wreck. Then AI decided to charge into my Effie and my Hector is just one spot away from getting sandwich by her.

Congrats :D

I've pulled a lot of units - several of which where Lon'qu. I have two left over, plus the one I'm keeping, and I gave vantage to Ryoma and Kagero already ^.^

[Ryuke]

@Cute Chao thanks. Still salty I never got to pull Ryoma. Rather than him than Hector any given moment (rolled hector like twice... but the first time was part of a reroll... then in the end I settled for 5* Roy... because my first round had a 4* Roy so... its only safe to play it out that way)

My account has Roy, Leo, Lucina and Ryoma. I'm drowning in reds. I never rolled a 5* green. Blues are catching up - Azura, Ninian and Reinhardt, but at least they all have different niches.

That being said, I do like Ryoma so I'm not unhappy to have him. I find mine pretty frail, though. I need to really look at his skills. My Roy and Lucina pretty much do everything that he might save distant counter.

That's some nice banner 5*. My 5* are mostly not from banner. Hector, Hawkeye, Raven, Tharja, Tharja, Nowi (the rest hard from there). How is your Roy. I do have Roy too .. but he keeps getting doubled by Lucina/Lyn (now I see less Lyn) so I have to take him out. And he doesnt even need Triangle Adept when he takes out Hector w/o it (my roy is +atk/-res)

My Leo was before the banner ^.^ He's my pride despite being... pretty sucky lol.

My Roy seems pretty good. He holds up his own against reds and decimates greens. I've taken to using Lucina more because she's a bit more versatile, but I often go back to my Roy. He was my first ever five star :D I also have a Maria and a Kagero. I think Kagero pretty much owns my game. She, Reinhardt and Azura are pretty much my go to-s for everything now, despite her being minus atk (plus speed, so not as bad as it could have been). I do hope to get another one to pass the skills on to a male dagger user at some point, though ^.^

[Ryuke]

I dont think there's gonna be any more strong male dagger user after Jaffar and Saizo. Volke is the closest... but Kagero is still superior in attack.

I think the game really wants me to do the armor quest. At the beginning of the month, I went from having no armor units to four armor units. And when I felt that I was not going to be able to finish the armor quest because my Draug, Sheena, and two Wendys were not being trained fast enough, the game gives me a 5-star Effie.

Fine, game, you win. I'll do the stupid armor quest with the intention of actually finishing it.

I saw three greens and two blues, I never thought it would be this bad.

Best of luck. I finished the armor quest this morning. I spent more time rerolling stages than playing them. Also, all the stamina of the last 3 days was vampirized by this ordeal.

I now suspect that the 4 armors I felt so happy to have pulled were in fact a trap.

[GinRei]

I managed to pull enough armored units to actually do the quest.  Unfortunately, I'd have to level 3 of them to actually do it, and then actually get map rolls that they can complete.  Not sure it's worth the stamina potions and hassle.

If you enjoy wasting a few hours of your life gnashing your teeth at a grossly unfair challenge, outgunned, outnumbered and outflanked, the answer is a firm and resounding "Yes!".

If it's just for 3 orbs worth about 50 cents apiece, well...

[GespenstMK2S]

At 1/15 for the armour challenge, since I was able to get my armours levelled up in time. Barely got the win against a 3-unit map.

Can see why others recommend putting Swap and Pivot on armour units - I was able to secure the win only because a forest tile prevented the enemy Marth from coming in and killing Sheena. Offensively, I don't have any problems (I had my armours inherit offensive skills). Unfortunately, I don't have enough units with Pivot and Swap to feed to my armours. Really regretted sending the 1-star units home, though I had done it before skill inheritance was announced.

I'd level them anyway just in case of future events. I wouldn't power level them to do it now, but they likely will have more things involving armours seeing as they've asked for them twice in March events now... (as a full team, not counting the one needed for the normal quest).

Me too, me too.

 

8/15 Armor. Someday Draugh might have enough SP to learn Silver Sword and I won't have to resign from any map with a green unit with too high defense right ahead. Someday...

[geozeldadude]

i don't know why i'm having such a hard time putting together a good flier team. i have a hard time dealing any damage. and also prob. b/c there are no healers or dancers. ugh!

Do you have any armours with Swap/Pivot? If not, what kind of teams are you fighting in the tower? I've gone through 3 stamina potions now and I've not moved beyond 1/15 for armour.

I had Sheena 4* lvl 40 with Swap, Gwendy 5* lvl 40 with some kind of attack that lowered defence, 4* Draug lvl 36 with poison touch, 4* Draug lvl 35 vanilla. Basically, I just kept throwing them at it, and using a few Light's Blessings, until something stuck.

No. I haven't done any skill transfer with any of my armor yet (well I transferred a silver sword and axe breaking to Draugh but he hasn't had the SP to learn them yet so point is moot). I have Draugh, Sheena, Effie and Gwendolyn, all drawn as 4*, by now between level 38 and 40. Mostly I try to pick only battles against few physical enemies only (and even then it can be tough), they all stick close and I try to rotate them well for favorable matchup (doesn't always work). I have spent several Light's Blessing though.

Looks like I might have to use a couple of Light's Blessings then. There are times where I lost one unit due to he/she not being to move away fast enough, but didn't choose to use Light's Blessing since I have so few of those, and so many more stamina potions in comparison.

I would say, if you have the points and units for it, give at least three units swap. It would have made it a lot easier and I might not have needed the Light's Blessings then.

Yeah, I figured out since I hardly ever used any Light's Blessing previous to those challenges, they were a less valuable resource than Move skills, but that's a very personal way of weighting different things and depends of your own playstyle and priorities.
