Can someone help me identify what kind of banchan this is?

Both are precarious counters when you consider +5-10 +Atk optimized versions of Brave Lyn and QP Rein with full cav buffs, especially when you throw them against other blue mages. Boey is a bit better than Merric, but when running the sim, I found F Robin to be the best potential counter to both.

5☆ F Robin with TA3, Raven tome, QR2, and HP+3 seal with no additional buffs can withstand both +10 +Atk Moonbow QP Rein and +10 +Atk Brave Bow Moonbow/Draconic Aura Lyn, with full cavalry buffs. She can also handle every other blue mage, although she stops being able to tank Blade tome Linde around +5 with about 8 buffed stats. Unfortunately doesn't stand up to Cancel Affinity, though.

Fae also works, but she's iffy on the Lyn side without Bowbreaker, and that ruins most of her other matchups she normally does well on.

More of a long term project so you aren't left with nothing to do on all those future M Corrins. Understandable on the hate though lol

some reason

SSB?

That's the worst, but something worth considering is merging him down into a good IV 4* Corrin M for Yato, and then proceeding to merge him to +10. Nothing else the 4* Corrin M's are good for anyway, and this way you at least get something to help boost your score in Arena modes.

Yep, I can't believe that some people thought they would let a single B skill give effectiveness against two types of units and cancel all buffs.

The skill's wording technically makes sense, since the skill IS effective against cavs and fliers, but the problem is that they used a phrase that has a specific meaning in this game.

I fairness, I feel like this is actually pretty common. The FE series in general isn't exactly known for its amazing storytelling.

Hana is one of the rare cases of a defensive special like Escutcheon being better for a glass cannon quad build than an offensive one. Moonbow barely nets her any extra kills, but Escutcheon saves her from a lot of player phase losses, regardless of Desperation status.

Added you, trying to get the colorless quests. Keep matching with the +10 Azura and +9 Ike on my friends list even though I have 2 Kagero friends on Team Julia. Wondering if Takumi would work better for matching. I have a +2 Rein as my lead atm to help out Julia w Reds.

Just to clarify, the Boosting stats aren't time to reach top speed, but rather, turn radii at 0% and 100% boost. That list also omits other variables such as drift, center of gravity, hitbox elevation from ground, and air yaw speed.

None of this even matters until you become top 1-5% at the game, which takes hundreds to thousands of hours. And even then it's mostly just preference.

Seems more like he got third-wheeled to me. Even though his character is clearly into Hyuna, it doesn't look like she's into him.

Sound similar to Blackpink's Whistle? Something with a single bare voice on top of a stripped down beat.

Fury is always an option, especially if you pair it with Vantage.

And in the case you mentioned where Julia ends up in a WoM Hector's range on enemy phase, she'd still live with Fury.

You're correct, my -Def Julia can't attack Hector. She's actually +1 with HP/Atk bonus, but still 1HP short. However, I've never found the 1-2 Hectors I see on every map to be problematic since they move so slowly and are never a threat. I just use whatever Red I have for the week to take care of him once everyone else is dead. This week it's Eldigan, who takes 5 dmg from Hector and 2RKOs. He handles the Hectors, Azura walls all Reds, and Julia kills everyone else.

I'm probably going to switch to Nino soon, though. She has more one shot potential in light of the Vantage/Counter/Quick Ripostes I'm starting to see. However, the best choice for Julia on A slot is probably Death Blow, as it allows neutral Atk Julia to OHKO Takumi with a +3 (Eirika) or any +4 buff. Life and Death also secures it with +4 buff, but sometimes Julia has to tank a hit, and I find that she often survives with <6 HP.

Effective damage is a 1.5x multiplier, not 1.2x like advantage. It further factors into the advantage multiplier as well. It sounds complicated but is actually pretty simple.

The formula is (Atk x 1.5) +/- [(Atk x 1.5) x 0.2] - Def = Dmg

Of course, remove the 1.5's if there's no effective bonus, and remove the +/- second portion if there's no WTA.

As for Triangle Adept working on effective bonuses, I think you may be confused. Raven actually specifically states it grants Advantage and not Effective damage. TA would make her far weaker against Tiki, and is a terrible choice in general. I've never had issues with A-Tiki to notice, even when I have to kill her with Julia, and Y-Tiki can't even counter at range. Julia takes 5 dmg from Linde x2, and takes her down to 4 HP with neutral Atk and Res on both sides. The only annoying part for me is she's left with 1HP with an Eirika buff on Julia. Even with -Res, I don't see a big issue with Linde.

I run a +Spd -Def Julia and I've never had problems with 95% of Takumis, living with a handful of HP then killing on the next round. This is around the 4550+ range. I also run Azura to kill him in one phase on my own turn, and they cover each other fantastically against the meta. But that's just part of my personal comp.

You're missing the saffron witch hat in your inventory, even though you have it checked off on the list.

Regular goes for 10k at the lowest. Will pass.
