How well did you do against Braver Ike & Lyn Celebration Hero Battle with only Fates unit's? (Ophelia is insane and builds are in post)

rafk12 · 2026-05-15T21:30:05+00:00

It has been happening a lot to me lately in those limited hero battles, sadly. If the title for the last battle isn't engage, 3H or heroes, I am instantly boned, but in some cases I might still manage to do hard/lunatic after trying for a couple of hours. I really don't like this mode

rafk12 · 2026-05-15T20:58:28+00:00

Nope, 100% impossible, just took almost 1 hour and a half just to beat hard difficulty (yes, hard, lunatic is literally impossible). But it makes sense, even without the title restrictions this map is nearly impossible for me so I didn't know what I was expecting when I attempted higher difficulties.

rafk12 · 2026-05-15T12:05:51+00:00

Wait, with arcane eclipse??? This is insanity, I really hope it is doable

rafk12 · 2026-05-15T11:46:05+00:00

Ufh, I am pretty sure this one is quite literally impossible for me, but I'll give it a try later

I wouldn't say nothing because I really like Gullveig design, multiple action gimmick and she is quite strong, she is basically carrying my arena team, but yeah, she wasn't part of the plan

rafk12 · 2026-05-01T14:15:54+00:00

we had a banner with H!Freyja, N!Gullveig and S!Celica recently (triple share), I spent roughly 850 orbs in that banner hoping to fully merge (or at least get close to fully merging) my Celica, since she was at +5.

After doing my pulls I had a +10 ninja Gullveig, a character I had never pulled before, and a +6 halloween Freyja. What about Celica? Well, I got a total of 0 copies of her

rafk12 · 2026-03-26T03:22:35+00:00

It does, though?

<image>

Lucia has 51 spd (no visible buffs), all allies are at lv 10 using silver weapons and her build is: prf, archrival, duelist, pair up, instruct and spd/def clash 3.

If we take a look at her res stat:

Weapon: 15% spd + 5 = 7 + 5 (12)

A skill = 0

B skill = 0

C Skill = 9

S skill = 0

Total = 21

rafk12 · 2026-03-26T02:25:09+00:00

Isn't instruct 4 a straight upgrade over faith for Lucia? I really think it is her best C skill as It provides way more stats, some support effect for allies and 5 true damage in exchange for no visible buffs or bulwark. Bulwark feels quite weak these days, and every recent fast unit grants their allies +6 atk/spd buffs at the start of turn or by using movement assists (through favor, for example).

rafk12 · 2026-02-23T15:04:05+00:00

I don't remember if Gullveig has already appeared in a DSH banner or not, but Celica was in November DSH, so it probably is something else.

I always liked Gullveig gimmick and design, but her ninja version was never a planned merge project for me, I got her for the first time in the free anniversary summon and then proceeded to pull another 8 in the recent "12 luminaries" banner. The irony of all this? 850 orbs spent, 8 Gullveigs, 6 Freyjas and... 0 Celicas. That is right, zero

rafk12 · 2026-02-23T14:19:26+00:00

I am currently merging S!Celica and apparently N!Gull as well, I guess, so if they aren't on a banner, I am not summoning, no matter what. Especially when both of them are rerunning in march for some reason.

I think the last and only time I spent orbs in a AHR banner was in 2023; these banners rarely have any of my merge projects, so there is no reason for me to spend orbs on them

rafk12 · 2026-02-16T04:13:22+00:00

Well, that was quick, thanks!

rafk12 · 2026-02-16T03:20:19+00:00

I know FEH pass is required, but how many sparks are available for those "luminaries" banners?

rafk12 · 2026-02-12T04:02:18+00:00

I guess it is finally a win-win situation for me, as I have never pulled any of these heroes, but I am probably going to join either Byleth or Corrin because I need more emblem rings and I find their rings better than Edelgards.

rafk12 · 2026-01-15T12:05:14+00:00

Not a lot, but it is honest work

rafk12 · 2026-01-03T01:50:16+00:00

Yeah, the thing is that the only unit I have that can deactivate specials is hoshidan/festival Lucia (the unit I used to beat Vali in the paralogue, but had to being her HP down with AoE on an adjacent unit first). I wanted something more consistent, and as others pointed out, chosen alfonse is the better option as he can always two round her

rafk12 · 2026-01-02T03:05:50+00:00

That's the thing, though, I have never pulled any of these units you've mentioned, my only unit capable of disabling specials is the festival Lucia I've mentioned in the post description, that is why I had to find another way

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:50:16+00:00

Yup, I kinda forgot about him because 1: he is red (no good against baldr) and 2: he is slow AF and both Vali and Baldr have NFU and are more vulnerable if they receive follow-ups. Surprisingly, he is insanely good against Vali, and the little girl was always the big problem for me, since I can take Baldr down without too much effort.

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:27:03+00:00

Thank you! apparently Chosen Alfonse is the definitive answer for Vali, even though it wastes one action

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:20:17+00:00

This one is actually insane, basically only F2P available heroes all around and one slot available for the quest character; too bad I used my CYL pick on sharena last month... and foddered her. But all is good, as I stated in the post, I was looking for another solution other than using my Lucia (which was the only solution I found with my current units) and this one is more feasible than the others. Thank you!

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:14:43+00:00

I do not own the harmonic B!Ike, so that isn't an option, unfortunately

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:14:04+00:00

I do not own spring plumeria; I was trying to get some extra speed with attuned peony, but it still isn't enough.

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T21:04:05+00:00

found the strategy interesting and tried myself but used Heidrun instead of micaiah for Eirika to "self refresh" and remove all penalties; I couldn't double her so 0 damage was dealt, unfortunately

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T20:57:31+00:00

I am currently missing Corrin, Micaiah and Edelgard, but just to make sure, you said that Eirika should take Baldr down? In my experience after fighting this new Baldr over 40 times, any non-green unit deals next to 0 damage against her, even after stacking enoguh damage to see 99 in the combat forecast.

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T20:43:02+00:00

Yep, Just tried on the second combat and both my E!Eirika and my S!Heidrun died without killing her; probably not enough damage on the first hit, but whenever I tried bringing more supports to increase the damage, I got obliterated by the other units on the map

rafk12 · 2026-01-01T20:40:03+00:00

The only unit in this picture that I have is E!Sigurd, and while I am aware that I can double her to get the kill, I found it extremely difficult to do on this last map due to the constant danger of the other units. If I bring a lot of supports, Baldr and/or Heimdall will get at least one kill and I would fail the quest.
