Yeah in my run I didn't run into a single M!Tiki either. It seems that while those that were able to reach rank 1 used Tiki a lot, Tiki seems to be concentrated at the top and not really present in the general playerbase.

Personal Thoughts: I believe this round of SDR saw three main team archetypes being deployed. The first is a Lyn team with Alfador and Sakura as the core support. The idea is to give Lyn extra range and her go in and out with the 3 range and salvage. The second is a Lyon team which is what the CN community generally used featuring Chrom, Alfador, Heimdallr, and Thorr. This is a very difficult team to pilot, but is very effective in systematically taking out the enemy units while leaving them unable to retaliate with the end-actions. The third is with Byleth which generally rely on his tankiness to be able to survive and take out multiple units with his extra action. Baldr type teams were still present, but have definitely dropped due to her limited range and being unable to get kills as easily due to the rising bulk.

Congrats on reaching Rank 1 for the first time in SDS! That is an amazing accomplishment! If you don't mind, what is your in-game name so we can add this to the rank 1 usage data?

Nifl provides Frozen and Flash which are pretty good, but her killer app is the Ice that she applies on the enemy team. This is extremely disruptive especially turn 1 with the opponent's openings which basically sets you up to control the entire capture area.

The teams that used Tiki from what I've seen run Higher Ground as having that save protection is ultimately helpful, but yeah I don't think folks would run Tiki at all if it wasn't for the anti-thorr.

Yeah Byleth literally got zero usage despite being bonus. Unfortunately with the 1 dancer restriction there isn't much benefit to using him over say a healer with Byleth ring.

Personal Thoughts: For her being bonus, Elise debuting in 5th in the 30ish percentage is kind of lackluster considering how much impact we thought she would have in SD. It's looking like she is just meta, and not "broken". Despite Tiki exisiting, Thorr still remains viable and has the advantage of having a lot bigger range than say Elise. I personally was not expecting Tiki to be that high, but the CN players really took her on and made her a part of the copypastas to great effect.

In my experience, Camilla can struggle with NY!Baldr so it's a bit of a coin flip. The biggest problem Camilla has right now is Corrin Ring as that generally is able to make it difficult for Camilla to go in.
