Bad/weird arena builds?

So I found this in arena today...
What’s the weirdest build you’ve ever seen in Arena?

Looks good to me.
Probably just a sacred seal swap that they haven't fixed yet.
The rest of the build is ideal.

...except Ayra's Blade has Flashing Blade in it.
-_-

Welp.
I'm dumb. -_-
Typically I'm used to more obvious meme builds.
I'll show myself out.

Not blaming you. m8. Maybe the person may not have known they don't stack........I really, really want to believe. Otherwise killing off a Mia like that is not a funny joke. lol

She has a 2cd special. With Flashing Blade it charges in only 1 attack. So even if Flashing Blade could stack with itself, the extras still wouldn't do anything in this build.
Still want to believe?

It's an ingenious build. This person here was trying to get his / her opponents to lose so many brain cells to the point where the opponent can't think properly anymore and just ends up forfeiting the match.

While we're all here playing checkers, that person and his / her Ayra are playing some sort of higher-dimensional chess that we can't possibly hope to comprehend.

...

[Seriously, why does this exist though?]

Someone really really hates guard hahaha

"NO U"

Wait, do two Flashing Blade/Heavy blade cancel out guard? Never knew that. But three Flashing Blades is definitely too much

I'm actually not sure. The skills say that only the highest bonus will apply, and guard is technically a penalty applied against the opponent which is a separate matter.

Confirmed: Two heavy/Flashing Blades will NOT ignore guard. It’ll act the same as if there was only one.

this person's cognitive function has ascended past what we puny insects could ever hope to achieve

i shiver in fear

Earthboost
Vantage
Growing thunder Rienhardt comes to mind, even tho i saw it a long time ago.

That is an... unnecessary amount of Flashing Blade on one unit. Something that comes to my mind right now is the W! Tharja builds that use the R Tome Valor on the C slot instead of some other useful skill. I've seen a lot of them lately for some reason.

I think that's a result of people forgetting to switch off the skill for something more useful; people might be grinding up their Red Mages for SP, and she is the only unit that comes with it. That, or they don't have any other C-Skill inherited onto her.

Or they simply lacked sp to learn something, its hell to gring sp on armors

That makes sense, but I guess I just fail to understand the reason why every Tharja I come across in arena has the Valor C slot.

M!Robin with Blessed Bouquet+ and Close Counter.

Well, the most puzzling was a black night
steady breath, Vantage, Even speed wave, Quickened pulse Firesweep + weapon

I was so weirded out I might have almost lost

This scares me.

Full team of the winter seasonal units...one of them carrying a Tactic skill.

The catch? They're all armored units!

Honorable mention goes to whoever refined their staff user with the same skill as their B slot.

You mean like this build?

Something like that, yeah.

I don't think the Hector sacrifice was worth it for this one.

Blame IS for that one. DC + Expiration is the highest scoring build.
