Post your best Wall

I didn't feel that Walls were very effective pre-weapon refinery but after I upgraded her weapon I found my Gwendolyn's role suddenly shifting from Support to Carry. She just ate everything and blasted back with Ignis. Reinhardt was no loner a menance. Berkut's Lance+ with Armor Buffs is awesome.

Anywho... That shift got me curious - who is your best Wall in the current meta?

Since the Halloween banner, armor emblem has been my all time favorite emblem to build, and weapon refinery has made them even more of a threat and hassle to kill. My favorite is definitely my ranged wall, Jakob.

That's intense! Guard Bow, double Distant Defense, and Armor buffs... Can anything ranged even scratch him at that point?

Emblem blade tomes still do a lot even with with fortify armor and triple DD, but wary fighter ensures he won't die from one hit.

Yeah, it would take a supermerged Cecilia with a proper build for maximum damage to take your Jakob out in one hit. A raven build with TA would work if her attack would hit 64 before weapon triangle consideration, and only a hone and a goad could ensure a non-max merge with an attack boon could reach that level. Blade tomes would need to reach 66 before full blade bonuses. I think your Jakob is safe as long as he doesn’t initiate combat, and he is quite a formidable wall.

Lukas is my best Defense wall. I also have a Mathilda that hits 49 Res while Defending with distant counter.

Jesus Christ, 59 def in the enemy phase! Godly!

Wait how? Steady breath gives +4 and Close defense gives +6 so isn't it 59 Def? (which is still impressive)

oops

(S)he probably was thinking steady stance

I don't want to be "that guy", but you had something like 140-200k feathers to +10 him, and couldn't even slide a few towards Subaki for QR3?

Sorry, just salty that I've never pulled a single Lukas...

Yeah it took a long time to make him, I would probably give him Aether before grinding a subaki and spending the feathers. I'll do it if we ever get a 4 star QR fodder.

Guard + QR is damn good. Put some armor wards behind this girl, and a way to keep her HP up, and she tanks everyone.

Not a doubt on this one. She even survived a Falchion once. A Falchion! Granted she was about to die afterwards, but still.

I dont use dragons much but this is amazing

I shoulda screenshot him while I still had summoner support. Recently gave Arvis my support to quad ploy.

How many allies does he need to function well? I've pulled about 100 of him as super-mean 5* pity breakers, so I refuse to use him.

Then again, I can only pull a troop at 5* so often before I start questioning the game and think, "What are you trying to tell me?"

Really just one, bonus if they have a spur on them. I really only regret giving him TA + Raven, should've saved it from either another Boey or Merric, It's annoying to switch his skills constantly.

Alternatively a 4*+10 Robin works well with this set too. I lack another Takumi to fully run that build but the blue wall seems as good as green.

Lukas and Beruka are probably my best physical walls, even though both are still very far from being complete, but in terms of mixed defenses and all-around utility, picture this backed with Fortify Dragons. (I may swap her to a Steady Breath/QR build one day if I ever pull a second B!Ike, but in the mean time this works damn well.)

The sustain is ridiculous. On a def tile he can solo entire teams. Armour and dragon emblem are a piece of cake with him. He reaches a good mixed bulk and the hp recovery really comes in handy in some matchups

He can even take on some black lunas on a def tile and ayras with a hone def

I like. If my Close Def seal weren't in use by Myrrh, he'd totally be getting it. He will be operating in a Flier team with Fortify Fliers, though, so that should be able to make up for it with the Def + seal.

Ye in flying emblem i run him with iotes shield. with two goads and a fortify he wrecks

Reinhardt runs in fear. So does Brave Lyn... sometimes atleast. Paired with fortify dragons and her ninian support she’s become my best mixed wall

Shes my most used wall i pared her up with dc ayra

Every since Arden has been out, he has been in almost every team ive used him in, just need to support him now with his team mates. Also fun fact: if you pay attention to how he wants a family some day, Bride Cordelia thinks of that stuff too in one of her dialogues ;)

Wall Ike.
I’m thinking off swapping Wrath for QR3, or maybe run both by using the QR3 seal, I haven’t decided yet.
I generally love walls, I have an awesome Lukas who I intend to make a +10 in time when I’ve accrued enough feathers, my Eldigan is a defensive beast too

Use the QR seal. Definitely. To replace Wrath, when it comes from a 5 star exclusive, is wasteful.

I know, this is why I’ve never swapped it over, Nephenee doesn’t grow on trees. But with DD3 I’ve even seen him counter red mages. And I don’t have QR3 fodder without spending feathers and I don’t want to do that

She's a perfect tank. She debuffs everyone around her by lowering their attack and speed by -7 and slowly chips down the health of her targets and everyone around her, while having enough speed to not get doubled by some units unlike most tanks, and she insta kills with Ignis. Still looking for a seal to give her. Either def +3 or close def but the seal she has now helps her out pretty well

She walls good part of physical enemies with Fortify Dragons.

Still the champ!

Kaihaku is always the nicest person on here.

Ah, I know the satisfaction of getting a character like that. Same thing with my Fae. I think you said you only pulled 2 Effies at 5 stars, and feathered up the rest. I only pulled 1 5 star Fae and feathered the rest up. Opa!(It's like hooray in Greece)

My magical wall, used to great effect along with Beruka as my physical wall.

She's tough to take down on the first hit, and Rouge Dagger's buff along with Vantage lets her mop up from there. All those Distant Defense stats make for a beastly Enemy Phase, especially if they proc Iceberg!

I've been trying to build up an Oliver for Atk Ploy, since Def Ploy doesn't stack with Rogue Dagger's special effect, but in the meantime, it's nice to soften up anyone to take advantage of Felicia's lackluster ATK.

I can't wait to see what Felicia's Plate will bring to the table!

Wow. Who do you round out your team with?

So far I've been running glass-cannon Hana.

Honestly, I've found that she's pretty underwhelming in the higher tiers where I actually want to use her like GHB and Lunatic level maps. Fortunately, I built her with a bunch of pity breakers that were collecting dust, so I'm not too fussed as I continue searching for my #3.

I like the idea of merging really common units into absolute monsters (hence Beruka and Felicia), so I've been toying with building up a Selena. Looking at her stats, she'd function similarly to these two, so I've been hesitant to start throwing feathers her way.

Oh shit she is not even merged.

i got two

I think I battle this in arena before I was impressed to be honest.

My Sheena is my just about tank anything hero.

This guy might not look like the best wall, but he usually survives almost every melee in the game. Didn’t think he was worth the investment at first. I’m glad I was wrong.
