I also beat Blesses Garden on my first try, but the mode is now where I hoped it would be:

The maps start to become rather difficult if you can't just field whoever you want. My team consisted of Sigurd, Reinhardt, Elise and Klein and I had to rely on Draw Back/Reposition and AoE slow because I couldn't kill anyone without getting countered or standing in attack range of other units.

Took me 5 tries to beat the new map, but managed to do it without having to resort to any changes to skills/seals.
One of these days I need to get around to putting together teams for the other elements. Team Earth Dragons might work, though two of them would be flying, which would be weird.

Tip for those who have trouble with the new Garden map: BRoy with horse buff and +3 spd seal should be able to double Legion, trigger Galeforce and retreat safely on the first turn.

Also, thanks to whoever has merged Fae with Guard and merged Camilla with DC. They destroy everything, even reds to my surprise. Fae even tanked Falchion!

My water team had my healer with Gravity+/Wrathful/Dazzling/Savage Blow 3, so that worked out perfectly for the map, but I like the ramp up in difficulty.

Joking and super OP builds aside, if any newer F2P is actually looking for some basic advice for that garden map, I would say Fjorm (who everybody has) + Black Knight (who nearly everybody has) is probably your best bet. Unmerged BK with QR (2/3/seal) should handle Legion and Clarisse on turn 1 exceptionally well, and Fjorm is fully capable of dealing with Katarina. And if you have a swordbreaker lancer (you need a bunch of these for AA anyway) lying around, then you are golden. Or if you are like me who are stingy about blessing a character just for a map and insist on putting Fjorm up against Athena, know that she will be almost dead after eating that Wo Dao Moonbow. You will need another guy to finish Athena off because of her Vantage. Dancers and seals (stats boosters, spurs, etc. that give you the extra push over thresholds) will certainly be helpful too.

Again, can't say I'm a fan of how IS is cooking up difficulties in the garden maps. I don't hate challenges, but 1) artificially limiting your selection of characters and 2) changing nothing to existing maps but simply increasing enemy stats aren't very creative, or pleasant. We are still early in the map rotation, remember? When the later chapters hit, and with reinforcements, like the 1st SS paralogue map (with Amelia and Seth), with the level of stats inflation we are seeing right now, I'm not sure many people will appreciate that "challenge".

So, someone on reddit found the patent for the summoning and there's some interesting stuff: https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblem..._feh_summoning_system_according_to_nintendos/

Like predicted, the server generates the 5 characters beforehand, and then only transmits the colors. After you choose, then the transmit all the information about the character (like rarity and IVs). They also prepared for multi color characters it seems, giving the example of a half red half blue orb signaling that that character has both blue and red "attributes".

I have 13 Water Blessings and I've never pulled a Fjorm so it's not hard to field another team for the gardens.

Thought about pulling on the new banner and then remembered that Bike will likely appear in the next legendary banner. Neph was in the last Hero Fest but hasn't appeared in a legendary banner yet.

If you really want B!Ike specifically, keep in mind you probably have a better chance of pulling him in this than a legendary banner

I need a hector and 4 Refin E. Cheese Tokens, then it's all feathers 'til +10, :^) I need 10 of this Divine Dew but you get it from refining, so I actually just need to know whether upgrades to Prf will just cost SP, or if I have to upgrade it from something else.

Allegedly, if I take this Fir and merge it with a +atk-def Fir, the new Fir retains everything the old Fir already learned, plus gets the level up and some SP. So I'll be fine until I get a good one.

All Main Story and Paralogues done, all the way up through Lunatic. Now I guess I do Chain challenges. Some of those maps were really hard on Lunatic, such that the chain challenges should be even worse. The 'defend for x turns' for instance, I'd lose half my team before the end. I've got no tanks. Should fix that soon, I think.

I'm afraid that you'll have to put the idea of Tana as a Tanky Flier straight into the bin, mate.
That's a shame. :/
I mostly wanted Tana for Guidance though. Probably I should just swap infantry/flier colours and pick up a decent green unit from the likes of Michalis, Cherche or even Camilla while replacing Ike with Fjorm or someone similar. For now it looks like a better idea than leveling and promoting Catria or Florina.
Tana has much higher offensive stats than Catria/Florina, sporting a really solid 34 attack and 36 speed, compared to Catria's 31/34 (still pretty good) and Florina's 29/27 (... not good at all). However, the stats that Tana has over the other 2 in offense, she lacks in defense. Tana has 25 def and 25 resistance, which isn't awful but hardly noteworthy. Catria has 29/25 which is better and Florina has 25 defense and a very impressive 34 resistance. You can see that both Florina and Catria have equal or better defensive stats than Tana so they're easier to build in that role.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that both Catria and Florina have better HP than Tana. 39 and 42 vs 36.
Well, they look like buIky units, alright. But I still need them to kill things or hurt them badly on retaliation, and while Catria looks fine, I have some doubts about Florina. Units who have good defences and meh attack usually struggle a lot even against enemies of their preferable colour. Back in the days I've been trying to use Odin, and that was... something.
So the thing is, I'm sure that both Catria and Florina would work as tanks, but what about the dps side of things?

Florina really shines against mages, Catria has better base defense and HP, which would normally allow you to run Tana as a bruiser instead of tanky with her Vidofnir.

That's what it looks like to me going by gamepress.
Yeah and anti-mage Florina probably requires Distant counter which I dont have right now, and that seems like a too big investment into that kind of unit anyway.
Btw, awesome Fir! )

Should fix that soon, I think.

That's the fun stuff, time to start building up some units for long battles. Running a Falchion user with Renewal 3 and reciprocal aid/ardent sacrifice works really well in chain challenges. That or an Aether user if you have one, but that can be more unreliable getting it to proc at the right times.

I'd actually recommend building up an actual healer too. I run a Lachesis with a Gravity+ staff that prevents countering and Savage Blow 3 C Skill with a Savage Blow 3 seal. I gave her Wrathful Staff from Genny too (although Genny is just as good). Paired with a dancer or a unit that can reposition it's a deadly build for non enemy spawning maps. Oddly I think Lachesis is my most expensive unit given all the skills I've had to inheret.

Tomorrow's Feh Channel is totally gonna be about the introduction of a few dozens of new 3*/4* units, right? I really want the minor characters of the series..

Also, thanks to whoever has merged Fae with Guard and merged Camilla with DC. They destroy everything, even reds to my surprise. Fae even tanked Falchion!

That'd be my Camilla! (and iirc Mupod's Fae). and thank you for you BRoy. helped me a lot in Rival Domains lol

Oh FEH channel tomorrow "morning" (fight me, 5.30 am isn't remotely morning for me).

I guess we get the full preview for Leif banner's skills and also an announcement of the next hero fest. But i second the wish for more 3* and 4* heroes, the roster is stale as heck and needs new stuff badly ... it's not that there's no huge pool of "mediocre" units to take from.

Still, i hope there's some new stuff to do in-game, or new QoL improvements, like setting team behavior on defense and replays.

Gotta stick it to the cruel gacha system after getting burned (more like completely incinerated). Even if it's just petty, it's kind of cathartic.

Nice! I auto battle VG at this point since there's no punishment for not doing so and it surprised me how every mage can't dent her. So I checked her stats and turns out she almost has 40 resistance lol. Must be nice to auto battle with.

Lolat 530 not being morning. Are all of you just unable to sleep or something? :) I unfortunately got roped on to work again so i woke 30 mins ago, busted out a voting gauntlet, 2 chain battles...

Multiplier for Flygero happening right now.

I'm married with 3 children and in my mid 30s, 5.30 am is not morning, it's being clinically dead in the middle of the night.

Now if i still was in my early 20s, it would've been going to sleep for some hours before work/studying. ;]

I thought married with 3 children already counted as clinically dead :)

And another multiplier for Ninjabbit, this is what i'm talking about. ^^

Only in terms of being tired. Having a bunch of one mini-me and two female mini-me's run around doing exactly the stupid stuff you also did while in their ages is surely a nice thing. But let's see how long it's going to be this way, eldest daughter is close of joining puberty, my wife is already scared shitless of that, going by her own puberty-self. ^^

Hah. Firemind's BRoy and that DC Camilla are staples of my Rival Domains. I have a similar LEphraim to that Roy and their Galeforces are essential to clearing out forts. I cleared the hardest one this time in 7 rounds, although this week you can win by just parking a dragon on each fort and winning off bonus points.

Only problem with me putting Guard Fae out front is I sometimes move the Quick Riposte seal off her. I think I had it on Fjorm for the Blessing map. Seal management is becoming a real problem and I hope they add loadouts soon.

I'm back up to 20,000 feathers, kind of want to try on the 4* banner for Fae's +10. Or maybe make a Guard Bow HJakob - I don't have Close Counter for him but I do have Distant Defense fodder now. I guess I'll wait and see what they show in the FEH channel.
