Help an indecisive summonner

1. I'm about to fodder an extra Silas and B!Ike for SB+Aether. Who should be my source of Sol or Luna?

I got :
- 7 Chroms (4x4*, 3x3*) - he's the only one of them that can be a source of Aether if promoted, which makes him more valuable. On the other hand, I don't plan on building him anytime soon, if ever.
- 6 Ravens (5x4*, 1x3*) - I'm interested in him as he has a unique niche of a fast PP axe. Stilll looking for a +atk or a +spd copy. Not sure if I'd merge him though since other projects are about to take a lot of feathers from me (awakening dragons). I do have a spare Helbindi, but I'm inclined to use him on a future Soren (haven't promoted nor built him yet, got 12 copies and ideal IVs)
- 8 Catrias (4x4*, 4x3*) - I do want to try out her refine sometime, but right now my dew and feathers for other things. I have a +atk -hp copy, but i kinda want a +spd with a bane other than atk or def.
Unlike the 2 Sol guys, Catria has another (albeit niche) fodder option in Armored Blow 3 which makes her a bit more valuable too.
- 4 Freddies (1x4*, 3x3*) - I'm using the 4* +atk copy as AA hammer user. I have far more bartre's that I could use as hammer fodder but only have more dancers wanting Wom than Cains
- Not counting limited heroes :P

2. Is there any point in inheriting QR2 to Cherche and Reinhardt? I got 2 Kleins to inherit DB3 for those brave units. Is there any point in using a Hawkeye for DB2, then the Klein for DB3 and QR2 from Klein?
I got 10 Hawkeye books (4x4*, 6x3*) lying around, so I could put them to use. But if i'm never going to use the QR2 (and it seems so), then it's a waste of some decent budget C skill (AKA Threaten ATK 3) fodder.

3. What would you recommend as B skill and assist for Aversa?
Reposition or draw back?
Axebreaker, Renewal, maybe sthg else?
I've got no Chill skills fodder.

4. TA3 GronnRaven Cecilia for AR and AA Veronica checking.
- Would you recommend a Def or a Hp bane? I seem to see less B.Lyns these days, or I'm less worried about her since I'm using DC Myrrh and A.Tiki
- I was pretty set on 4 star merging her when I've heard an opinion that one should think about the long term - even If one doesn't omega HM farm now (like me now), one might in the future and might want to add more power to her beyond the 4*+10 = 5*+4,5. I think I prefer the golden border too. But I don't think I would ever chose specifically Cecilia as a +10 merge project...

1. Looks like you have plenty of Chroms and little to no interest in him, so since you plan to use a Silas and B!Ike might as well just get use a 3* Chrom if able.

3. Probably Renewal since she really wants to keep her HP up.

3* Chrom won't work, he has only daylight.
I didn't even have the idea of using a 3* , but you're right, I can get the 2nd tier special from B.Ike anyways. since Cycle dude gets Aether through Luna, a 3* Catria should do the trick!

1. I would say Raven? It sounds to me like you will promote/merge/use him last, though I may be wrong. Figure out what order you prioritize them in and use the lowest priority hero to fodder, I'd say.

2. Not really, they both would like more offensive B slot skills. Chill Def from Walhart is awesome on Cherche, or Hit and Run on budget, and for Rein I'd say either Chill Res, WoM, Pass, or even Desperation, if you pair it with the Brash Assault seal.

3. Reposition on flyers is generally reccommended. That way you can make other units hop over mountains and other shenanigans. For her B skill, if running Blarblade then Desperation, if using her normal tome then I'd say Renewal, as that would help keep her HP high if she gets into any combat, and thus keeping her tome's effect active.

4. I'd take a speed bane, actually, since Veronica will nearly always double you. If that's not available, and you are only using her for a Veronica counter, instead of also as a B!Lyn counter, I'd prefer a defense bane. But still, if you can get a -Spd version that's what I'd recommend, unless really buffing up her speed.

Those are my thoughts, do with them as you will.

Thanks for all the advice!
1. Actually I like Raven better than Catria for some reason %)

4. I'll promote and use my -hp cop, look for one with a spd bane and make my decision whether to 4star merge or not by then :)

2. I personally like the idea of QR2 as a budget skill on Cherche very much since she's not exactly fast without investment but has pretty good defense (enough where she has the potential to be optimized as an enemy phase unit if need be). Add DB3 on top of QR2 and you've got a decent mixed-phase unit. I have a 4*+10 Cherche and the DB3 + QR2 combo has worked perfectly well.

Report

Cecilia I actually suggest -spd for a 4* merge. Keeping HP is useful, and -def is definitely not advised because you might want to bait a brave bow.

On Aversa go for some breaker.

QR2 is maybe decent on Cherche because she has so much HP; I don't think Reinhardt survives doubles to QR back unless you switch to a tank build.

For inheriting SB+aether, take your pick between Raven and Catria. I would probably go for Raven unless you're hoarding feathers and considering a 5* merge. Greens are easier to replace than blues, and luna can go to a unit that actually wants to use it

Thanks for all the advice!

Knowing I great but not ideal IVs makes the decision soooo much easier. I'll promote my +atk,-hp Celica and keep looking for a +atk,-spd copy and make my decision whether to to 4star merge or not by then ^^

1. If you ever plan to take on High Tier Arena then you'd want to hold on to those Chroms (and Cordelias). I'd probably go with Fredy's for Luna or if you're desperate then Ravaen, but he's good for scoring. The green pool is smaller so you have a higher chance of getting them over, Chrom and Catria.

2. I'd give Cherche QR but not Rein. He can be rather frail. Threaten Atk 3 is good if you're running Heavy Blade on Cherche but Hawkeye is better Growing Light & DB2 fodder imo. If you don't care that much for AoE then you could just fodder a 3 Star Hawkeye for Rising Light (to try it out), Threaten Atk 1 & 2 then a 4* for DB 1, DB2 & Threaten Atk 3.

3. As mentioned, Renewal to maintain HP for debuffing. Reposition is best for fliers but Draw back is also fine.

4. I regret all my 4*+10s (except Raigh). Cecilia might get a refine someday too. She's quite tanky with TA Raven tome so -HP is better imo. Brave Lyn has gotten rare but better safe than sorry.

Hope this helps!

I think I'll follow you advice for 1-3, thanks a lot!

4. Wow, The subject of 4 star merging seems to be extremely divisive. There was a 4*+10 appreciation thread here earlier today! ( https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/q-a/are-there-others-satisfied-410-me )
Why do you regret all your 4*+10? I want more info *_*

Report

I had a 4*+8 Est and a 4* +10 Titania and Florina. That was before their refines. Now I lack copies of Florina. I've been been summing almost exclusively on Green so going to be a while before I can get enough copies of her. Thankfully Titania and Est stock me to no end but still.

Raven/Catria. Don't sweat it, they are reasonably common units. So maybe keep the one that you would consider merging (if only to save time). Value-wise, I like Luna better than Sol. Armored blow is not essential in any build I run, and Titania also has it (another common unit).

Suggestion. Consider Hit and Run for Cherche. All my offensive fliers have it as their main B skill. Kill -> Get out -> Repo/Dance. Very versatile.
