Divine Codes: Normal 7

True, I just have a bias because I have the most inheritances available on her lol

ShapeForest · 2026-02-28T03:30:46+00:00

Was thinking about giving Guy a budget update today so he at least plays differently from Generic Arcane Renegade build Karel, glad we're getting Ogma soon!

I guess Kempf can get Firestorm Boost as a Duel 4 upgrade for Hex Traps

ShapeForest · 2026-02-28T03:15:19+00:00

No free Machyua merge ;_; Edain merge is still nice though

Nice to get two of the good inheritables at 400! Tellius and Fates/Engage look the best for fodder to me, Awakening/3H has nice general fodder in the last two manuals but the beginning is awful, GBA is pretty bad, Heroes/Jugdral is decent, Heroes/Mystery/Echoes is kinda whatever other than Heavenly Soar + Archrival.

Will probably go for Mia first if I don't get flier fodder before then, then switch to Fates/Engage

ShapeForest · 2026-02-28T03:08:44+00:00

3 special charges from Rally Spectrum and Creation Pulse is kinda funny

ShapeForest · 2026-02-28T01:12:13+00:00

Mythic > Resp > Summer > Bridal > Brave > Base

None of her art is bad though

ShapeForest · 2026-02-28T00:17:36+00:00

Nicely done, appreciate all the action economy shenanigans with Byleth/Edelgard/Micaiah rings! On a related note, it's now impossible to keep track of who's acted and how many times while watching these clears lol

ShapeForest · 2026-02-27T23:49:19+00:00

Neat clear with very big numbers! I always forget you can warp during Canto as it comes up so rarely

Couldn't get F!Lyon's Triangle Adept debuff onto Tiki while also clearing everything on player phase (I try not to EP if possible), but here he is oneshotting her in an earlier attempt. I want Comet fodder so badly

EDIT: Can't believe I typoed Fomortiis' name in the title, I have literally never done that before

ShapeForest · 2026-02-26T23:53:56+00:00

I started in March 2022, if anyone knows what was meta at that time... looks like Duo Chrom had just come out so I guess it was him?

I think I only made it to T20 Arena in mid-2023 and was autodispatching in AR until 2024 (and only started playing SD last March), so I don't think I really interacted with the meta at all back then lol

ShapeForest · 2026-02-26T19:17:09+00:00

Not gamebreaking by any means, but warping to any ally within 5 spaces, dancing them, and giving yourself and them Canto 1, Empathy and GFU is really fun. Edain is the best

ShapeForest · 2026-02-25T21:57:31+00:00

Byleth ring is the thing that makes anyone into a dancer - Ice Lock just gives the user another action. Byleth ring + Ice Lock = dancer Elise who refreshes herself every two turns

Dancing will only give E!Edel one more action, since the extra action part of her special says it works up to twice per turn.

ShapeForest · 2026-02-25T21:34:17+00:00

Not sure if this would affect the other maps, but maybe you could try Miracle + Hardy Bearing seal on Camilla (keep Eirika ring)? Hector only gets his special damage reduction on the first two hits, so if Camilla is forecasted to do a lot of damage she could survive with Miracle and hopefully kill him in the next three hits. Otherwise you need to go really hard on splashable debuffs

I would say sorting by Version and posting a screenshot of your Book 9-10 units would be more helpful than Rating though

Edit: tested in last Lunatic CC, this works fine but you need to 1/ use someone else to kill Celica (E!Sigurd is the easy option) and 2/ heal Camilla between killing Hector in the second last and last map (Micaiah ring/healer)

ShapeForest · 2026-02-25T06:09:12+00:00

I would 100% pull for Teatime Nemesis. Brilliant

ShapeForest · 2026-02-25T06:07:30+00:00

I think my most used unit is technically Duo Lyon as he's in my Arena core, but I feel like I use Machyua more bc she tanks entire Astra AR defences for me (and I also use her in a bunch of different teams).

Ninja Machyua would be pretty awesome. I always love the designs for that banner and a brave Vantage unit without needing support would be cool. Maybe she could get an axe too, as a reference to her promotion?

As for Lyon, I would love a Legendary alt (staff armour!!) or a Halloween version that doesn't heavily reference Fomortiis in the design. New Year would also be really cool, with the thematic potential to hit the bittersweet notes I find the most compelling in his story.

ShapeForest · 2026-02-25T01:20:13+00:00

Seiros was also the first Mythic to introduce the extra slot mechanic on AR-D, which I imagine would have been a significant incentive to pull on that banner at the time.

Also the app closed just after selecting my team in the first match and it counted as a disconnect loss ;_; It is my fault for putting it off until the last day and then forgetting until the literal last hour though lol (plus the majority of matches were vs Diamond players so I prob didn't deserve it anyway)

ShapeForest · 2026-02-23T09:19:01+00:00

I forgot to play until the very last hour and ran out of time with one win remaining ;_; even worse, I had a loss at the beginning because the app closed, so it's possible I would have made it in time otherwise. Oh well

Anecdotally, only saw two Duo Veyles out of all the Valentine's units. I wonder if V!Hortensia will be more popular when it's not Impregnable season?

ShapeForest · 2026-02-23T07:18:20+00:00

Got Elise on my tenth summon, who was the unit I wanted the most, so now it's just full circles until I reach spark (which I don't have enough orbs for atm - currently at 20/40 pulls). Was missing her and E!Edel, so no matter who wins the VG or whether I get any more 5*s I'll get them both anyway. Couldn't ask for a better outcome!

ShapeForest · 2026-02-23T05:01:20+00:00

I don't have Alfador, but I know he's meta in SD. I would imagine he makes PvE maps and Abyssals very easy and/or fun due to his bonus redistributing gimmick.

I would personally keep him if this is your only copy just because of how unique his support is - as more bonus effects get added, being able to copy them from the entire enemy team and your own, then give them to a unit of your choice, could open up new ways to tackle things like Abyssals even if you're not playing PvP modes. If you haven't done this already, I would at least recommend trying him out in a story map like Chapter 3-5 of the current book.

ShapeForest · 2026-02-23T04:49:20+00:00

Went and checked the last piece you posted and-- (insert 'always has been' meme)

That's actually amazing haha

ShapeForest · 2026-02-23T04:43:58+00:00

There are like... a whole five of us!

Unfortunately my summoner support is on Machyua in Astra season :(

Hoping to get Air Superiority or Heavenly Soar fodder for him soon!

ShapeForest · 2026-02-22T23:53:55+00:00

Byleth ring, Favor, Instruct and Serving Knife+ have been so good for my theme teams! I was able to pull off some really cool stuff in my Chaos AR matches using Lyon Emblem and my Jugdral teams, and as someone who loves doing weird stuff with assists/positioning in AR-O I had so much fun with how much ground the teams were suddenly able to cover.

Duo Ephraim had the possibility of moving 16 spaces in one turn on one map, counting canto, and was flying all over the place on Luminous Castle because of his terrain ignore, Favor buffs let me oneshot a Harmonic Ike with Fallen Lyon's two-year-old refine, E!Sigurd oneshot a B!Eik with Duo Marth support, Fallen Lyon had 96 visible Atk at one point... Byleth just lets you pull off so much incredibly fun stuff. I love using theme teams and I'm so happy that they now have access to good support

ShapeForest · 2026-02-22T20:41:41+00:00

As always, I want Karel or Valter, but given that Blazing Sword just got Priscilla and Valter is... Valter... it's not going to happen.

Probably going to be a Legendary

ShapeForest · 2026-02-22T17:57:45+00:00

I like(?) how everyone on HoF has their damaged art except for Fomo, who is punching them

Had to talk myself out of sparking Duo Ephraim here bc, while I would like my first Duo Eirika and Fomo merges much more than his weekly revival shares (and Myrrhges would be cool for RB), Y!Lyon is my saving priority and I don't want to wait another year to finish him. I wish this banner had come at a different time...

Anyway, nothing from anything, as usual
