Non 5 star locked units you are building.

I'm not building any right now because update 3.0 is around the corner and i dont wanna waste resources on a unit that may or may not degrade is usefulness within the next couple weeks. But if its any consolation, heres my arena core, not a single 5 star locked unit.

Like Nilla/Allin I'm on a break atm.
But the ones I am kinda building are Chrom (Bond falchion and steady breath) and Soren (allround mage with WoM and drive skills)

The merge project i have at the moment are Sheena who is at+7 and Soleil who is at +6, i haven't started yet but i will +10 both Titania and M!Corrin for arena when i'll have enougth copies to +10, i have 600k feathers so that won't be the problem

Building: Camilla, Nowi, Marth, M! Corrin

Status: +8, +5, +4, +1 (respectively)

Short units to merge for Camilla, Nowi and Marth (0 copies to promote). Camilla, I haven't gotten a copy since like June/Julyish. Been locked at that. I haven't gotten a Nowi since maybe January or February. Instead, I've been building some other units to fill missing gaps, along with GHB units. So I'm still under/spending 20k feathers as they come.

I do have 3 copies of M! Corrin to merge in, but placing on temporary hold while I get some GHB units promoted: recently did Michalis for Aether Raids, about to do Navarre for next season. Also wanted a pain+ healer, so built a Lissa (40k for Pain+). Been farming feathers to cover my expenses, so 20k is usually pretty easy to hit either in a week or every other at the latest depending on available content.

Chrom is almost fully merged, haven't decided on his final set though. Hawkeye will probably get done eventually. Niles and saizo are also on the list.

Edit. Forgot beruka, I 4* merged her to +10 and regret it, been saving up copies to bring her to 5*+10.

Completed +10: Catria, Marth
Merging: Caeda (+7), Maria (+5)
Want to merge next: Titania, Aversa

She's almost done. Cordelia will be next.

Nice titania! Been thinking about merging her myself.

I'm working at Raven who's +5 atm. Ideally I'd build Sheena after because I want a good green tank but I haven't been able to get enough copies. Not too sure who else to do. Maybe Leon, Soleil, Berkut, Nanna, or Marth. Or Titania. Or Effie. So hard to pick.

Just finished building up my Clair and my Abel and I'm very happy I did. Right now I just need better ivs for my Leon and Silas.

I finished my Nowi recently. She runs with a teammate using mg Atk Tactic to help her use that Heavy Blade. Is she the best user of it, no, but she uses it pretty well.

Currently building two, both with builds based on their Ally Support.

L'Arachel's build is based around a fairly standard Sieglinde effect refine build on Eirika, supporting her for defense. Eirika's build is a high investment, but L'Arachel is complete, aside from merges.

Waiting on my final merges for fae and Nowi.

In currently working on both Effie and Caeda, but before adding any merges I’ll wait for 3.0 to kick in. I also have a bunch of Reinhardts waiting to be promoted and merged.

My biggest problem is that I wanna do a mixed team with being able to run tactics and I want a mage but my team right now is F.Corrin, Setsuna, and Sheena, and I can't really have a red Mage Flier/Cav/Armored unit since from my knowledge all are 5* locked and most are seasonal

Edit: looking through them all 90% are seasonal and one is a GHB who at the moment isn't in grails yet which is fine cuz it would take 4 months to +10 anyways

These three are my main arena core. I'm also working on Mae, Titania, Corrin, and A!Tiki in the sidelines
