Regrets regarding Robin F GHB

GHB Robin has made me realize that I deeply regret sending home multiple Cecilias. I probably would have a shot at beating the whole thing right now if I had even a single escape route fodder that wasn’t 5*.

I also deeply regret merging my black knights, because PM1 used an unmerged BK as his main tank to defeat the GHB, and a merged BK will die.

My final regret: not having the DD3 seal. My seal is DD1, soon to be DD2 after I grind like a madman on the TT, and that may not be enough to win on armor/flier.

I did defeat the cavalry and infantry quests, but the armor/flier may be too much for me since I seem to lack critical pieces to making this work.

Anyone else feeling regret of not having autowin units like seasonal fliers/ W. Tharja?

My BK is merged and he did just fine... also definitely upgrade DD when you can so you have it ready for the next time Robin rolls around.

The real question is did you use him as your tank, and did you have any special skills/setup? A merged BK without DD3 dies, even with full armor buffs unless you use ward armor after full armor buffs. That’s why I want at least DD2.

I don't quite remember, but I mostly followed PM1's strategy. It never even occurred to me that the merges might cause a problem.

You're not kidding about autowin. I stuck Tharja in there with only a DD3 seal and she tanked then counter killed the entire room except the lance unit. It's ridiculous. I haven't tried the flier/cavalry quest yet, but I only own a -atk +spd summer corrin so I might have to be creative about my approach.

Yeah, I really need DD seal to stand a chance. 3,000 more points on this TT and I’ll have the coins to make DD2.

winter tharja alone and a green armor with swap and fortify armor can kill infernal robin map easily. You'll just have to wait/hope for W!tharja to be a free unit and so done with the armor quest later round.

Agreed, for horse emblem, its actually quite hard. Don't regret about cecilia, she'll come routinely as free unit.

For flyers, just wait for legendary banner with flying azura and snipe her. She's really useful for flyer emblem or even as a dancer alone. Spending little bit might be worth for her if you like flyer emblem afterall. Another unit you need for easy run is flyer corrin. TBH, those 2 are enough for flyer emblem to beat anything in this game ( maybe +a lance/sword flyer).

Horse emblem wasn’t too bad once I figured out the method. Armor without the winter girl is killing me, but I think my odds change drastically the second I get DD2. As for fliers, if Caeda gets DD2 and I rig it up the way I hope to do for BK, I think it may be doable.

I only have like, 6 armored units, W!Tharja happening to be one of them and it wasn't an auto-win for me. I only managed by buffing her with one ward and one fortify armor and I had to figure out a way for her to retreat afterwards with only 1HP left and no WoM/ER option. I've seen people re-create the W!Tharja strategy with Black Knight pretty effectively. I didn't find her to be especially helpful, I guess.

Flier Emblem on this map looks hard as hell. I tried it twice and then quit. No ranged fliers for me so that doesn't help.

Yeah, but having her makes it drop from a 5/5 difficulty to a 1/5.

Fliers will be hard for anyone who does not possess a seasonal unit. I’ve had advice from others, but most of the builds they suggest require skills I simply don’t have or units I don’t have.

Armors was the hardest for me. Had to stage it just right. Effie with +res/-Spd, Berkut's Lance Res refined, Aether, Venge Fighter, Close Defense, and Ward Armor.
Winter Lissa with Swap and Fortify Armor(only 2 skills that meant anything)
Black Knight with Ward Armor and Drive Def Seal
H!Jakob with Ward Armor and Spur Atk seal.
Move so Effie is one space away from being in the danger zone, with Lissa right beside her. Start of turn, LIssa gives Effie her buffs, then swaps with H!Jakob. Effie moves into the Danger Zone, Jakob moved beside her, and Black Knight moves into the space beside Jakob. When the dust settles, next turn, Jakob attacks the Ax above Effie, and Effie finishes him with Aether. At the start of the next turn, all that remains is a weakened Lance user and a weakened Red Mage. Effie spears the mage, Jakob shoots the lance with Bonfire, done.

Fliers I needed to use a Blade Bunmilla and Flyzura hit and run strat.

I may need to slap a blade on my bunny for fliers. But I don’t have any Azura, flier or infantry.

I think once I get a respectable DD seal on BK, he should have a solid chance.

Cavalry took me some time to complete. I thought I could do it with Sigurd since he can tank, but it turns out that Brave Roy was just what I needed. Him with his Blazing Durandal and Galeforce made the map a lot easier. If he was a +Atk B!Roy, then it would've been even easier, but sadly he's not.

I attempted to do Armor Emblem, but I failed once before I just said screw it and decided to just wait until later on to re-do it. We have an entire year to attempt it for 2 orbs/another GHB unit, so it's not gonna kill me to skip a few.

I've skipped...
-Defeat Xander with Armor Emblem
-Defeat Xander with Flier Emblem
-Defeat Narcian with Armor Emblem
-Defeat Robin with Armor Emblem
-Defeat Robin with Flier Emblem

I'm not even gonna attempt Robin with Flier Emblem, so that's pretty much out. Waiting to get LA!Eliwood before trying to do Armor Emblem quests since the only blue armor units I have is a 4* Effie and a 4* Gwendolyn, both of which don't have good IVs and are 4*.

Infantry is probably the easiest out of all of them to do since my main team is an Infantry Emblem team. The rest takes me a few tries and seal swapping to get right.

P.S. Just think about how easier some of these will be if W!Tharja won the free 5* voting event... *wink*

lol jk

Cavalry was actually the easiest for me. Blade Cecilia cleared half the field, Sigurd tanked and killed the axe at the choke point, Reinhardt with lancebreaker quads the lancer, and Brave Lyn took one on the chin from robin f and then obliterated her with draconic aura.

Infantry was pretty easy when I figured it out. Celica, Robin M, Julia, and Olivia cleaned up that mess.

Armor may be something I can knock out when I get to 10,000 on TT today. I’m about 3,000 away now.

Flier may take another week or so. I desperately need escape route fodder to stand a chance as of now, but I may be able to rig up a strategy with melee fliers to beat it.

It really makes me rethink Armor Emblem. I have Zelgius neutral, but he just gets one shotted by the blue mage. I armor emblemed everything else with Hector, Effie, V!Lyn, and Zelgius, but now I'm thinking that giving a +spd/-res H!Jakob a guard bow+ could just do the trick against the mages

That would probably fare well against the mages, but you’d need to give him something to handle the axes users too.

DD should be the first seal you upgraded when it was introduced dude, it's by far the best seal, followed by qr and heavy blade i guess.
The rest just don't compare.

Yeah, funny you say that. I wasted coins on other seals in a noobish way.

Flier Emblem was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I did it with a team of Elincia, S Corrin (fortify flier), Minerva (ward flier) and NY Azura (hone flier) but I think you could do it with any combo it you have a red flier with decent resistance and a combo of fortify/ward flier and DD3.
So I basically positioned Elincia to receive the fortify buff and on the next turn put her out in the firing line with my fortify unit behind her and the ward flier unit behind that to give +10 buffs. She walled all the attacks with low HP left. I then used her and the others to kill off the remaining units. NY Azura had wings of mercy to teleport next to a wounded Elincia which is pretty important here to finish off the units and protect her from the blue lancer.
Good luck when you try it again.

Oh so you did try caeda and you still aren’t able to beat it? (I replied to yourctopic when I woke up so I have no idea if you were able to try out Caeda.

You’ll get there soon. If only I had maxed out one of my Caedas, I’d try it.

Yeah I tried her, but without DD2 she gets slaughtered. In a bit I will have the means to try again.

Good luck!! If you are able to stream it. I’d definitely love to watch how you play

Lol I wish I knew how to stream things. But I think distant def 2 is the key. BK went from being everyone’s whipping boy to a legit tank, destroying everything minus the lancer, which Amelia cleaned up.

lol, i still wonder how you still don't have Distant def leveld up to 3. That is the one of the most important seals in the game(if not the most important).

ohh, that sucks. It's pretty easy to stream things.
If you want, you can just upload your own vid on youtube. (for some constructive criticism- mwahahaha).

Oh so you did try caeda and you still aren’t able to beat it? (I replied to yourctopic when I woke up so I have no idea if you were able to try out Caeda.

Victory is mine!!!!! Caeda, Minerva, Cordelia, and Cherche took it home! Caeda did most of the heavy lifting but required a ridiculous amount of help (DD2 seal, def+3 A slot to offset def bane, spur def 1 from Cordy and drive def 1 from Minerva along with ward fliers). She tanked all 3 mages (red dealt 2 damage to her, robin 0), and with the flashing blade refinement, she proc’d iceberg consecutively against the axe units while dropping to 6 HP. Next turn, she moved up a space and obliterated the blue mage. Cordelia inadvertently tanked a hit from robin when I left her in the chokehold opening. Next turn, Caeda slaughtered robin and was repositioned out of range by Minerva. Minerva tanks the lance like a pro and then drops an ignis bomb to end the match! All 4 are defeated!

grats!! I knew you had the means to win this GHB with fliers and Caeda was just what you needed.
At long last you are finally done haha.

Yeah, I just posted another thing thanking everyone, especially you, for all your help. Robin F was breaking my balls lol
