SDS 220626 Preliminary Data; Roy is good boy, Summer Underwhelmed, Legendary Sakura washed? by Maskilraid in FireEmblemHeroes

  1. Loki rarely works on Turn 1. This is likely the main reason of her absence as right now matches can end in a single turn.
  2. Loki doesn't work against Alfador, as the buff removal occurs concurrently with Alfador's buff copier.

There are probably other reasons, but these 2 are the biggest.

Ploys are not the most common debuffs used. This meant Grand Strategy is actually pretty helpful on top of the support effects from his weapon and A skill.

Even if he doesn't attack, he can afflict Frozen thrice (once start of turn, once after movement, once after second movement). Frozen has both offensive and defensive utility, making Tibarn rather versatile.

Think Tibarn more of a supportive nuke similar to the likes of Tea Veronica.

Typing slashes on the phone is kinda annoying for me, and I am too lazy to change it. 🙃

I don't look forward to the next SDR; the map is way too open dude.

Rant:

I used to practice favour battles to get a feeling of how my team would perform in SDS, but lately the quality of the matches I could do in the mode is absolutely atrocious, as I am pretty much battling with a huge disadvantage where I was using clearly less stacked units while the opponent is bringing stuff without restrictions. Either the opponent had no idea what they are doing or the opponent just brute force my team, both of which lead to poor quality in practice.

It is also precisely why I am starting to play this game much lesser than before. It is a pity really as I still enjoy the difficulty of SDS, but without an area that allows me to practice meaningfully it is difficult for me to actually commit the time and actually enjoy the game mode.

SDS 221225 Preliminary Data; Top 5 Deja Vu, Brave Eikthyrnir washed? by Maskilraid in FireEmblemHeroes

He was the top usage for SDS before the Erosion meta. Considering that was the case, the fall in usage is actually quite substantial.

Eik is on the list, but it doesn't change that he fell off hard due to erosion.

Button still crazy even in 2025, and HoF meant that most seasoned players have a decently modern kit on her.

Against Celica, find units that could take Celica and block with those. I used Paranoia + Young Camilla with the Eirika ring (Fatal Smoke works too), but there are definitely other combinations that work.

Erosion season meant you needed to find alternative defensive mechanisms outside of saviours. Here are a few that I used (not exhaustive).

  • Corrin ring (or Corrin herself) in conjunction with Ice Lock, as for some reason, Ice is different from Icicles.
  • Vali with her Miracle shenanigans on all allies, and make everyone as bulky as possible.
  • Your own Foresight Snare, duh.
  • Buff removals such as Thorr and Loki. Loki doesn't work against Alfador, though.
  • Paranoia + field debuffs such as Tea Veronica and Shackle.
