I think the fact free units in general haven't been getting any weapon refines in awhile really bothers me royally.

need prf due to arena at this point, need the points
and like viability has mattered when Elincia got her upgrade
Elincia got a refine because she is 5*locked and they want a 5* unit in each refine banner to make it sell, basically the same reason why Lute got a refine last month and Kana is getting one now.
Anyway Subaki was the worst lance flier in the game, and he doesnt even have alts like Cordelia has.
That being said it is about time characters like Arthur, Barst or Setsuna get a refine, they are super mediocre and just like Subaki have no alts
Yup. Like no longer using a gem weapon for one. And hopefully the eff refine is a good one.

I have a fondness for Subaki in this game because he was around before Skill Inheritance. It was nice to park him in front of all the sword units and let him QR people to death. I used him on my original team when beating Veronica for the first time. He is really outdated, though.
He is reasonably bulky, maybe he could be a Steady Breath flier or something.

Been on a roll on the abyssal maps, this time beating Lucina's and Azura's maps. All thanks to L!Hector combined with L!Azura, L!Eliwood and Eir. Hector don't give a fuck about the weapons triangle, in some cases just barely surviving!
Just Alm's among this lineup of rotated maps left but gotta come up with a different strat considering his true damage shit.

He isnt even the worst character in Fates. Azura exists
Jakob's entire character is "I'm a total fucking douchebag that sucks up to corrin"
Fuck jakob
Azura has that and worse because she hides info for no reason that could save plenty of people. That and she actually encourages corrin to do his/her dumb decisions.
She also actively discourages Corrin from developing, which is what completely soured me on her (that one time in Conquest Corrin plays evil to please Iago and avoid conflict, but then she goes on a rant about how they're losing their purity and should always stick to their principles).
I'd guess Three Houses' low sales in Japan will hold back Heroes' support in the long run, since a large part of the profits of Heroes comes from Japan.
I'd easily take Corrin over Azura. Several of Corrin's worst moments in the story are directly tied to her.
"low" sales, in the end it's not going to grow like the west but it's not exactly shrinking (and it's not like Fates or Awakening banners remotely performed like actual leaders in the first place)
Its physical numbers were around 250k last time I saw them, which is better than Echoes, but just around Shadow Dragon/ New Mystery level (you know, remakes that split content of the previous version in addition to the issues with their visual style and general addition in Shadow Dragon's case) - bellow FE6 too for example. Online numbers might help it approach them, but not by much since Switch online numbers still don't seem to be very high in Japan.

How the eff do you beat a Surtr? I've never killed a single one and every time he shows up my team wipes.
vouchers were always going to throw off that number as the difference between retail price and voucher price in japan was gigantic.
Red unit with effective damage weapon like Armorsmasher+. Axe breaker and/or TA also help. Tobin, Selena, or Hana have effective weapons/refines.
Not true, unless you specialize them to face surtr that makes your team weaker overall, that can be a problem if the enemy has other big threats
What makes Surtr a menace isnt that he is invincible but that he has great zoning that makes some maps really obnoxious.
Surtr is too slow to be an issue in the first couple of turns. The right tactic is often to pick the rest of their units off by baiting and break the pots when Surtr is alone and non-threatening.
The optimal options are quite rare - dancer Micaiah or dancer Ishtar are excelent as they are dancers and they can delete surtr with little effort. Another very powerful (but rare) option is LAlm, since surtr high def is pretty much a death sentence, and wary fighter wont work against alm as well. If you happen to have any of those, they work really well.
But any armor effective red unit can work. Triangle advantage and effective damage together is a 1.8x atk multiplier. Even an unit with only 45 atk will have 81 under that multiplier.
Just don't try to EP him, his entire kit made to break EP tanks. Unless the other player is stupid enough to give him armored boots or armor march - then you can just tank him from the max range without triggering his weapon or prf skill (do check other units for WoM before doing this though).
Or, just like every content in this game, you can just brute force him with a blade tome mage.
I think I just need to remember not to try and beat him on enemy phase, which is my default strategy. By the time I remember he's already killed my sword and it's too late.
I think I might manage to reach tier 21 on AR finally! I'm around 220 lift left to reach it and haven't lost any lift since the start of this season not even from my one defense loss. But at the same time I might have just jinxed myself. Though it helps that seasons will now end at 3PM PT on Mondays thanks to transitioning to standard time.
And who's now facing Mitch (can't believe I just said that lol) on the final VG round?

Alright around 6 hrs ago lost 60 lift. Just manage to finally accumulate enough lift to reach tier 21. I cross my fingers more lift isn't lost before the season ends!
Sounds like you're in the clear? There's less than 9 hours to go before the season's done which puts you below 20h.
Meanwhile my run was awful, though I was distracted the past week, mostly with alcohol. Still managed to stay above T21 though, so it's all good. A couple fewer grails isn't a big deal.
The threshold doesn't increase, but everyone in a given tier has their lift reset to the tier floor at the beginning of every season. So if you don't make it to Tier 20, you start at the bottom of 19.
If you are not making enough points on offense is either because too many of your units die or because you are not using blessed units. Ideally, your team would be 2 Mythic heroes of the current season + 2 blessed units matching the mythic hero's element + 1 bonus unit that should also be blessed.
Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind elements are for legendary heroes. Those heroes and blessings are used for increasing your Arena/Arena Assault score.
Light, Dark, Astra, and Anima are for mythic heroes. Those heroes and blessings are used for increasing your Aether Raids lift gain on offense (Light and Astra) or reducing the lift you lose on defense (Dark and Anima).
Before you start a match on AR, the game tells you how much lift you will gain at most with your current team. If you make a team with 2 mythics, 3 blessed heroes (one of them being a also a bonus unit for the current season) then you should be making at least 160 points. If your mythic hero has merges you could make a maximum of 180 points if both of them are +10. Lift loss on defense has other formula that I don't remember.
If you only have one Eir you should be able to reach tier 21 with some effort. You need to give light blessings to the rest of your team and reserve one spot for a bonus unit. Just wait for light season and go all in. Mythic heroes on defense are not that necessary. I've seen people not use them because as long as your team can kill the enemies or stall you won't lose points anyway.
Also, since there is always one offense and one defense element each season, light and astra never coincide. This past season was Light, tomorrow is Astra, and so on.

I think for most of us, we just reached T21 and slacked off
Post T21 things work differently, the Lift requirements per tier after 21 are lower but you reset back to T21 at the end of every week.
So just go all in, reach t21, and then just do whatever from there, just doing enough to stay in 21+.
And managed to remain in their 21. Finally!
And yeah, pretty much my end goal is to maintain being in tier 21 from here.

I just bought six Kronya, so now my frothing demand for grails decreases (ign.com). I guess at some point I could make a run at T21, but it'd require Eir and L!Azura to be bonus units together again.
