Sunwoo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Interestingly enough, the rewards for clearing the tempest trials three times are double the usual. Because we had a mini tempest last time, perhaps the doubled rewards are so the two will function like a normal tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Turtle Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Ooo, goodie, we're finally getting a bit of plot to do with the Tempest, instead just the usual "The world is ending, help me save it." I was wondering when that might happen. Loki starting up the Tempest was still one of the big question marks about her for me. With the selection of bonus Heroes, I'm for once actually left with multiple teams I could use. I could either bring my new makeshift cavalry team with Gunnthrá and grind the SP that Sigurd and Elise still need, or I could bring one of my infantry teams with Fjorm and grind Alfonse and Fjorm's support. I might end up just alternating between the teams so I don't get bored while grinding for reward orbs. Edited January 31, 2018 by C.

Humanoid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I've only got Fjorm sadly, until Marisa shows up at any rate. And it's not water season, which is a shame. Until then I'll probably run my new Alm as a medic, a dancer and a mage. It's so generic it'll be like the first TT again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korath88 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) TT boosted Fjorm kills archers, mages and reds, while Myrrh kills everything else even without TT boosts. Final map is really easy this time. One thing to note about the drive def seal is that it starts as a level 2 seal due to its base being spur def 1 Edited January 31, 2018 by Korath88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Disappointment aside Fjorm can easily auto battle Lunatic 5 with the Quick Riposte seal and a healer, Lancina also gets pretty bonkers although the lack of range hurts (she gets better with the QP seal) but S!Xander is a liability because he can get one rounded by any red mage. I'll change him for Marisa as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mampfoid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That was unexpected ... I have Fjorm, Gunnthra, Axura and Lancina. I'll start with Gunnthra to play my first Horse Emblem since a long time. No blessing? That's strange, but I didn't use any of the water and wind blessings I got, so ... With those seal awards I should upgrade Guidance, but I'm playing horses, so I'll sit on those coins (and other stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wow, what a lame ass bunch of sacred seals. Granted, we’ve been spoiled rotten for the past couple TTs, but aside from Hone Attack these are decidedly meh. I guess the good part is I can invest in Defense Ploy instead.

Roflolxp54 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Fjorm, PA Azura, Brave Lucina, Summer Robin, Summer Xander, and soon, Marisa as my bonus units... Wish we knew ahead of time. Hone Atk seal is neat since Hone Atk is probably the most popular non-themed C-passive. Poison Strike and Drive Def aren't bad due to their max tier weighing in at 240 SP cost. 80 Sacred Coins this time around since no useless Blessing being offered as a reward. Oh yeah, Drive Def being a seal - that means that dual C-passives like other Drive skills and dual Spurs may be seals in future TTs.

SatsumaFSoysoy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm running mage Eirika, Reinhardt, Brave Bow B!Lyn and Axura. In other words, the "no dignity" setup. I'll switch to Marisa after I get Eirika the SP she needs, then maybe shuffle people around for HM purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strullemia Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is the first time I have multiple 40% characters, I have Fjorm (duh) PAzura and I just pulled Guuntra. So this is going to goo smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have Fjorm, Gunnthra, and PA Azura, but Azura is very near HM capped so I don't want to use her here. I also have Brave Lucina but she's similarly close (she's been a bonus unit twice now but I got her to 3k HM on a TT where she wasn't...). So I'm using Mage Eirika, Fjorm, Gunnthra, and Priscilla as my team. It's certainly working out so far even though they aren't all decked out on skills yet, three double A runs in a row. Looks like the boss is Loki disguised as Fjorm...interesting. Also, does Drive Def only need one upgrade? It's no QR level seal, but it is a nice filler skill and if it only needs one upgrade then we can save some coins on it, so that's nice. Hone Atk closes out the hone/fortify seals so that's that done. None of these seals are incredible, but they're all probably better than another threaten or seal skill.

Wish we knew ahead of time. The only Bonus unit that's in the normal summoning pool is Brave Lucina, so there wasn't much people could have done to prepare beforehand. Poison strike is definitely a seal I had been anticipating, since it's core weakness is competing with other B skills. But now that seals have gotten so good, I think it's still facing just as stiff competition and probably is only great when stacked with poison strike and savage blow. Slap those on F!Corrin.

Alexmender Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 At least this thing is absurdly easy. I'm already at 12k, I'll finish this TT later because it's 2 AM here and I'm getting sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ran my first attempt with Alm, Fjorm, Linde and Inigo. It went okay except the only person capable of denting Fjorm is ...Fjorm. Fortunately mine runs the QR seal and the fake one doesn't so I got away with it. The final map took seven turns as a result but still managed A/A thankfully.

Hawk King Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 What the hell, here I was getting Myrrh and the others ready thinking it was going to be SS related. Now I need to make up teams and all of that stuff. Ugh, at least they are all good bonus units. The new seals are fine. Poison strike shenanigans can be cool. And drives are a bit under rated. I wonder what the upgrade cost will be for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFrigid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I’m kind of happy the seals are meh this time ‘round, since it lets me clear up a bit of my existing backlog =P . It looks like I’ll have Def Ploy ready in time for the next round of Flier Emblem after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah, looks like the ice rocks do nothing after all. Worth noting too that the enemies on the final map are aggressive and don't need to be baited, as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 No bonus unit except Fjorm. Seals are decent (barring Poison Strike) and allow for more versatility for Enemy phase units like my Matthew so I'm happy there. Still, a bit bored sadly. At least this Tempest will be a bit more lax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
