Nah, Zardin is good, no shame at all adding him to your party! I just have no need for another light adventurer right now, unless it's a waifu. That isn't the case here.

Even still, it's cool to see Cygames adding more husbando to the game for those that are interested. It's nice to have things balanced. :)

Today's Nightmare Sabnock run was a lot better. Only made 2 attempts before getting the win, albeit still clutching for victory at only 4s remaining...

Don't know if kiting Sabnock was as good as suggested. My one attempt at it was bizarre : indeed, it resulted in Sabnock turning around doing nothing, but then he used his charged attacks again twice and the fight ended by a time out with still a good 1/4th health remaining. Maybe we didn't get the fight's sequence right (bad planned overdrives, breaks) or maybe we didn't have enough strength (although each one's teams seemed to be north of 20k might).

Got my daily reward from nightmare

Ive changed my tune on dragon prep, but ONLY if you pair it with shining overlord, so you can shapeshift three times in battle. One at the start to hopefully stop the dashes if the host does not know how to bait them (most don't), the next ones asap to get the strength bonus

Man, this one we break the guy after the time was up, then couldn't kill it, THEN break a limb for a few seconds extra then we won. It was insane

Still gotta search for a party of like minded people. I got two parties. One with dragon prep and one without, so I can switch if I see a group not doing dragon prep

I had loads of difficulty yesterday finding a good group for nightmare, even with my 20k+ might light party. Eventually managed it, after changing out of dragon prep prints, except for the MUB Kings Countenance (for Annelie, who lacks the curse resist). I did the same today, but was still having difficulty, so I caved and raided my sunstone vault for the first time and used two to fully unbind and upgrade Cupid.

That really did the trick, team is now 21k+, and now Annelie is destroying with her DPS, what with ~40k (best before was #25k) damage on stunning display if I place it right at the break. Beat him the first time with 7 seconds to spare after doing this, in a 20k+ room. I think I'll be playing more than my single run each day now that I've made the investment, as it's much more fun to fight him in nightmare, and I like the idea of helping people get their daily bonus chest.

Edit: So far, I've gotten 20 succ dragonfruits + 1 twinkling grains, and then 1000 eldwater + 1 twinkling grains. Really jealous about all the sunlight ore and damascus crystals floating around. No vouchers in the drop list, but still I'm crossing my fingers to get at least a couple ores or crystals over the rest of the event.

Nightmare lobbies are pretty dead right now. I'm guessing people are only doing it once making it harder to get matched with a good team.

What's probably making it seem dead is that you inherently benefit more from hosting due to the might limits. I'm like 19.5k, but can set up to 1k higher, so I make 20k rooms.

Been messing around with prints a bit; curse got too annoying on Albert, so I had to switch out Bonds Between Worlds for my second Heavenly Holiday (which was thankfully already leveled so I could swap between attempts) and I do think that helped even with the strength loss. Prep loss is unfortunate too but it's not like Impulse timed up well for things regardless, and I surely lost more than 10 seconds of it charging due to curse anyway; actually being able to use the buffed Lightning Burst more often's probably better to begin with. Also just gave up and bought 4 more TSOs to hit MUB, since that's a story mode drop and it's unlikely I'll get another naturally (and certainly not anytime soon) as a result. So I obviously benefit most when people actually bring dprep and I can boost my strength, but even the skill damage (that I can now regularly make use of) helps, I guess.

Finally got a kill after a while; 1000 eldwater + sunlight ore. Still no full clear; Alfonse died this time because I swapped Gil to Lucretia. Think I need to either just eat the fruit cost of leveling my dupe Gil (who will almost certainly be used to unbind eventually) to 40 so that both have a better chance of living, or just actually spend some of these moonlight stones on possibly worthlessly making a second MUB Lindworm and leveling her instead...

...also, had a grain drop from an EX fight yesterday, which is nice though hard to be excited about.

I ve been waking up during the night to go to the bathroom lately, and have used that to get my nightmare runs, in public rooms to success twice so far

Maybe everyone competent does it asap and doesn't run it again and by daylight there s few peoole good left

...oh.

So on the other 3 party members I'm running King's Countenance, Dragon's Nest, and Dragon Arcanum since I currently only have one copy (which are MUB) of the first two. I realized Nest was still level 40/60, so I dumped some water into it and only then remembered something I was told about and that I should check.

Yeah... Arcanum's still bugged to have 5* stats! So it's definitely the best dprep option, even compared to Countenance if you don't need the curse res from it; I'm just leaving it on Vixel for that reason.

so I spent like 25 water for nothing till it's fixed, I guess... but that was worth it to remember that I could get +107 HP/+52 STR/+144 Might on Alfonse for now, so that works for me

It's buried in the list of ongoing issues; the print changes a few weeks ago messed with a few prints when they're unbound.

...actually, I hadn't realized this aspect of it, but both Nest and Countenance are listed as having worse stats than they should. So Arcanum's that much better of a choice, huh.

though looking into it, I also don't see how their stats actually are worse, so maybe it's that they were supposed to be buffed and that didn't happen, idk

What are the best things to spend leftover Fire Emblem badges and great badges on before the exchange ends? I already got the unique stuff like the weapon, wyrmprints, and items that let you unbind any 5*.
Are any of the upgrade/crafting materials more valuable/harder to get than the others?

Probably IO materials, any weapon tablets you're low in followed by insignias.

After mixing and matching, my clear team is now Odetta/H! Elly (Fleur works too)/Vixel/Xiao Lei for Nightmare raid. I feel Vixel is better than Hildegarde for raids because of his team wide regen heal S1, and energize actually helps DPS. On top of that, both Odetta and H! Elly/Fleur as well as Cupid all have heal skills, so recovery potency is legitimately useful. Xiao Lei is still a monster DPS buffer with her S2, I also gave her a MUB Bellathorna to make the buff last an additional 3 seconds.

After two days of twinkling sand grains, finally got a damascus crystal out of the nightmare raid.

Same pattern for me, except a sunlight ore today instead of a damascus crystal. Really starting to love these Grand Bounties, and hope they keep them (and nightmare mode) for all upcoming raid events, especially the reruns!

This banner has been interesting for me. Didn't get Xardin or Lucretia but I've somehow managed to pull Hildegarde and Heimwald. Both are new so I'm super pleased

Not being able to level wyrmprints/farm consecrated water is starting to get a bit frustrating for me. It'll probably work itself out in time with enough events, Need a new mode that gives it as the daily/weekly drop or a water fountain in the halidom.

But then I guess this probably isn't a new complaint for people to hear, haha.

Meh, finally got 1200 again and my tenfold only had 1 new item (1st out of 3 of them this banner). I did get the 4* blade user. General consensus on her? I have 5 5*s already so no huge need to promote her but certainly willing to do so if she's pretty good.

These are cute, and maybe I'm just in a bad mood at this moment... but on some level this approach frustrates the fuck out of me?

The lack of stickers for communication is kinda dire at times. I know most of these are just gonna be fun jokey ones, but we absolutely need more stickers so there's no need to be stingy. Just... add all of them?

I know it's not realistic, but Chrono Trigger collaboration please.

Chrono/Crono - Katana
Marle - Bow
Lucca - Wand
Frog - Sword
Robo - Lance (actually uses his robotic limbs to pierce and lunge forward)
Ayla - Axe
Magus - Staff (offensive staff, similar to Heinwald)

My wallet would cry.

We're getting new Void bosses on the 20th. Void Poseidon is indeed next month but we're getting a new golem/ghost/I forgot the third this month which should give us some new weapons to make to prepare for Void Poseidon.

What the heck, the epilogue just randomly popped up after a failed nightmare raid. Don't know if it was actually selectable or not since I was an idiot and tapped back instead, then it disappeared:

Honestly, I made it with the auto optimizer save for wyrmprints on Mikoto and Marth.

Mikoto (PC): Blazing Steel, Flower in the Fray, The Warrioresses, Cerberus. Might try giving A Mother's Love
Marth: Levatien, Elegant Escort, A Mother's Love, Ifrit
Verica: Otherwordly Bough, Take My Hand, Destiny's Hand, Phoenix
Ezelith (Either one)

Bring along a friend hildegard or Verica.

Ieyasu is coming back! May 20th, along with Marishtan (and I assume Addis and Sazanka).

They really want people spending their wyrmite before the end of the month. Incoming Gala Mym!
