Hey guys, during my arena assault run today I realized I need to build some of my units specifically to counter dragons, they're everyyyywhere. Myrrh in particular is a challenge to deal with if I've already used Tiki and Leo/Witch Nowi. What are some other handy counters out there?
Weapons that are effective against Dragons such as:
Any Falchion
Book of Naga ( I think it's just called Naga )
Fog Breath (Both Tiki's)
S!Y!Tiki's Weapon, Summers Breath
I don't know if Excalibur fits in this list, not sure.
It would be crazy if they added Wyvern Sword.
I can't say I've been stuck in your situation before because I've always had Julia and Marth with me as my main dragon slayers. it should be clear that the best counters against Myrrh would be red and green dragonslayers, just make sure they aren't -atk or it could be an issue for you if you can't one-shot her. High damaging red nukes like Lilina can actually make very short work of Myrrh despite her large resistance.
Mine is also +atk and she has no trouble in one-shotting Myrrh. Mine has like 60 attack on the player phase with Mirror strike (for scoring purposes) with a couple of merges so with Death blow you shouldn't have any problems handling her, although defense tiles could allow Myrrh to just barely survive her damage so be mindful of that.
Marth, Roy, Masked Marth, Infantry and Calvary Chrom, Lucina, Alm and 3 versions of Tiki (Young, Adult and Young Summer) all have weapon that will tear Myrrh to pieces, making them the best counters.
Lucina, Alm, Calvary Chrom and both versions of Young Tiki are 5 star exclusive (With Young Summer Tiki being limited) but Marth, Roy, Adult Tiki and Infantry Chrom aren't.
Masked Marth is the current Tempest Trial reward. Roy will need 200 Divine Dew to make his Binding Blade strong against dragons.
Speaking of Binding Blade, Lilina can annihilate Myrrh with a combination of her Refined Forblaze, her naturally high attack stat and a Death Blow skill. Again though, this'll need 200 Divine Dew.
Non-red dragon slayers include Julia and Deirdre. Both are 5 star exclusive and are pretty vulnerable to a Myrrh with a Distant Counter skill/breath and lack the weapon advantage the aforementioned red units have but are still solid choices, especially since Divine Naga negates buffs from Hone Fliers/Dragons and Goad Fliers/Dragons.
Off the top of my head, all I can think of is the Captain Obvious answer: get yourself a Falchion user. That's usually my answer to both Myrrh and M!Grima.
Masked Marth in particular is readily available, especially with the current TT. If you've been playing awhile, you should be able to get a pretty high merge on her, too. Mine'll be +6 soon enough.
Just curious, which Tiki are you talking about? Did you try Breath of Fog? That's another red "effective against dragons" weapon.
If you have Winter Tharja, she might work too, I think. She's got a great mixed-defense spread that could bypass Great Flame's effects.
Also, don't overlook Myrrh's flyer status. IDK if Great Flame declaws LnD Firesweep/Brave archers, though, as I've never tried that myself.
I hope this helps!
Yes, huge help! Thanks. I'll give W!Tharja a try.
I feel so silly for overlooking Falchion, I've never pulled any aside from Marth. About time I 5* him.
And I had Masked Marth when she first came out but killed her because I regretted inheriting skills to her since i never really used her. But now I'm really regretting THAT choice lol.
Yes, BoF Tiki all the way! I rarely use Lightning Breath now, only occasionally for PvE
Most people covered a lot of the obvious options. But a lesser stated option could be Fir. She's got good Res and weapon triangle advantage on Myrrh and M!Grima. Now with Myrrh's weapon Fir often prefers to bait Myrrh than initiate, especially if Myrrh has QR. But just thought I'd throw Fir's name out there given she can potentially tank Myrrhs. She would probably want her refined Nameless Blade though for added special damage to help, especially if she's not +atk, as 1 cd +10 Moonbow certainly would help against Myrrh especially when baiting given she'd throw off Moonbow on her first attack against Myrrh.
But I'll stop this kinda long winded comment on Fir at this point as a under the radar Myrrh counter. Not the obvious go to options like Falchion users but hey green dragons are kinda like a niche role Fir can tank better than some of the other non-Falchion sword units. Man it's crazy how much I found to say about Fir in this, but I guess this happens when Fir is your first merge project. Just need 13kish feathers to complete the last merge!
Basically what everyone else has already stated, there are lost of 'effective' weapons that do bonus damage.
But I would also suggest any physical close range unit with a high res stat: Fir, Mathilda, Caeda, etc. (Especially high res + a Berkut's Lance) They can be built mainly for running ploy skills but they can handle dragons well too since the adaptive damage effect on the refined and new breaths don't effect close range units.
