So how's tier 20 feeling right about now?

Just curious as to how my fellow tier 20 arena players are. Just about how high you're on the list currently and if the new changes are really affecting you. Lemmie tell you that for me personally, this new change for both tier 21 and bonus character points is complete bullshit. Not to mention the fuckery that is Legendary Lucina's Future Vision. Thought you were safe? HAH! GET FUCKED NERD.

Bright side is that after about an hour of grinding up arena points, end up getting 3734 points... Never am I ever getting that many points in a single run EVER again. And yes, this was a bit of a question and a lot of me complaining about the changes.

I’ll definitely be able to stay in T20 which i’m proud of myself for, but maybe if i can get my hands on a high arena weight bonus unit for any upcoming seasons i’ll be able to push myself into T21.

But i fucking hate the +3 bonus point shit, remember to send in complaints to customer support if u want it removed

I thought it would be "easier" since Most if not all of the whales will be in teir 21 so there will be more space in teir 20 but nope with Bonus kill system I literally have to solo maps with units I don't normally use but if it is someone I do use then I'm ok with it (This week it was Arvis and it was kinda fun seeing him ploy and kill everything)

I have only positive experience with it so far. The bonus points for featured Arena units are a good encouragement to build up more than just 3 units - well I guess it's a given people who have just relied on their arena core the whole time are triggered by that. It's still a good change. After you are done building 3 +10 Arena units, you were basically done in this game, but now there is merit in building as many units as you can.

I incidentally had a +10 Frederick lying around, usually, I wouldn't be able to make any use of him in arena for mounted units have lower BST; so his basic score is bad. But now, I can get him to solo whole teams for an extra +12 points which outweighs that easily, and he's really good at doing that with his 55 Defense+ Close Defense seal.

Though I would mention, with this change, I feel like the amount of bonus units should be raised - maybe even doubled. Limited to 8 units is just a good way for most people to get fucked by luck just because they haven't built the right units. You need a higher pool to choose from so that it's more fair and not just luck based.

Yeah, especially when 5 of the units are completely new, 2 of the units are GHB units, and another 2 are completely random. At least they've got the Askr Trio rotating every week...

Report

Honestly, you can't go wrong investing a bit into the Askr trio, now that they have their refined weapons. I promoted Alfonse to 5* this week because I didn't have another bonus unit and the new weapons are such a huge improvement.

I'm getting 2-3 kills with him per match in tier 20 now. TA3 + breakers are definitely the way to go for bonus units on a budget.

Report

Breakers yes, but I'm not sure how I feel about TA. I've gotten a few kills with Alfonse against units like Effie but took a lot of work... TA would of completely killed me.

Report

His new weapon has built-in TA3 for the effect, so if you're going with that you don't really have any way around it. I don't have him mess with blues.

Right now my Alfonse has his upgraded weapon, Fury, Swordbreaker, and Quick Riposte for his seal. For his special, I left Sol from when I used him for PvE and it's working out well because he can see multiple rounds of combat. Granted Aether would be better but I only have a few Chroms and I don't know if I'm ready to pass it to him just yet. This lets him take on every green dragon, the occasional green armor, and swords, which tend to be 2-3 of the units of most defense teams in tier 20. For Tikis, I let my Bold Fighter Effie take the first hit, which sometimes gets them low enough for Alfonse to finish them off.

This week I got 3700 pts. Should be enough to stay in Tier 20 again. I don't really mind the new tier though. Basically tier 21 replaces tier 20 as the whale tier. I am not getting in this week for sure but next week I should be able to. The only problem I have is that the extra reward for tier 21 is just pathetic. 500 feathers? Oh please.

Report

tier21 is a really good concept but I dont like the +3 points from killing with the bonus unit I ran into a team who had eirika upfront so i thought maybe it only has 1 blue unit boy let me tell you that i was wrong unfortunately no image but nowi with ta, firesweep cordelia l&d heavyblade galeforce, and the wom legendary lucina
I just gave up lol it wasnt my last run anyways... sigh... 50 blade thingies gone to get 3712 with two missed kills and around 730 matches
