Priority for Upgrading Seals

I know it's personal preference in many cases, but I'm curious what the more valuable seals are to other players. I'm struggling to decide what to upgrade next, and considering accumulating coins takes awhile, I'm afraid of buyer's remorse!

So far I've max upgraded:
Distant Def 3
Close Def 3
Attack 3 & Squad Ace E 3
Speed 3 & Squad Ace D 3
Hone Spd 3
Deflect Melee 3
Deflect Missile 3
Deflect Magic 3

I've half upgraded:
Initiate Atk 2
Brash Assault 2
Breath of Life 2
Savage Blow 2

I really like things like Quick Riposte, Atk Smoke, and all the ploys, but I'm curious how other experienced players are investing their coins. And some of those incremental upgrades seem like they'd be just a minor impact, like QR.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Iv'e only done QR to 3, and now I have too many seals from not upgrading, I think you have a pretty good selection of level 3 seals imo, and who are you using the deflects on?

Report

I move them around a lot, depending on the situation, so they're not really bound to specific heroes. But my deflects are a perfect example of buyer's remorse. At the time I was building a defense against brave bow Lyn, and the deflect missile worked pretty good for that, so then I invested in the other two. Now... I hardly use them at all.

Currently have maxed out:
Close and Distant Def
Quick Riposte
Heavy Blade
Atk and spd with their respective squad aces
Savage Blow
Def ploy
Panic Ploy

If there's a situation where someone doesn't have any seals maxed out, all of these (save for def ploy and savage blow) I think should be top priority. The ones at the very top are Quick Riposte, Distant and Close Def.

I only have two or so Seals maxed. I only fully upgrade when I feel it necessary, so I've got tons of resources, just in case we get some fantastic Seals. As for priority, try basing it on Arena offense, defense, and GHB/BHB.

Quick Reposte is a lot better than you think. Go QR all the way! A free B-slot is priceless. After that, I'd go for Heavy Blade or Panic Ploy.

Definitely appreciate the feedback! Sounds like QR is probably my next priority. Do you find a big difference between 70% and 80%? I usually go cheap on my B slot QRs as well, and most of the SI I've done with it is just QR2.

For me, since I typically use the seals on arena worthy units, the top priority I have for seals right now are the highest SP weighted seals, ie DD/CD, Attack smoke, Def ploy, Drive Def 2, etc. I have maxed out QR, Atk Ploy, Panic Ploy, Heavy Blade, attack and squad ace E 3, and speed 3. Of those seals, heavy blade, QR, and speed 3 are on my defense team, along with armored boots for the Black Knight. Heavy blade also runs on my offense team, along with attack +3, atk ploy 3, and panic ploy 3.

Ploys, Drive Def, Atk Smoke, Quick Riposte and Heavy Blade are, off the top of my head, the must-have seals you seem to be missing.

Great feedback guys! Looks like the concensus is that QR, Heavy Blade and Panic Ploy are the next three I should focus on. Will add the other ploys, and smoke after that, assuming other new seals aren't released...

So many seals, so few coins. The completionist in me hates all these seals I can't upgrade.

QR or atk smoke for sure.

stick QR on a slow unit that can counter at any distance. atk smoke on any support. for example, I'm running Hector (LA) with QR seal and renewal. along side Lyn (LA) with atk smoke. they just dominate everything. hooked them up with an ally support as well for the extra +2 stats.

Report

Of the ones you haven't done, I would prioritize Quick Riposte way at the top, followed by Heavy Blade, Atk/Def Ploy, and Atk Smoke. Your priority there would depend on your preference for player/enemy phase. Also what should be an obvious caveat that Def Ploy is a bit more situational, since not many physical attackers can use it and you may prefer something else on a support/mage.
