What team are you using for Tempest?

I use my general horse emblem team. It consists of 5* Xander, Camus, and Reinhardt, and 4* gronblade Cecilia. Camus has hone cav and xander has fort cav, and it typically works out well. I haven't gotten lower than 502 on a run yet with that team

If ur runing nino and mae as nukes then u should be runing hyper offense so you should trade sakura for a dancer.
Nino should have darting blow or life and death with desperstion.
Lucina should rather serve as a damage sponge that can reposition units away from enemies and should run hone spd.
Hone atk for the dancer.
Hone def for mae.
If u have the spd +1 sacred seal give it to nino. If not then give her quikened pulse. Someone else should have the res +2 sacred to cover every stat for nino.
I dont know ur units. Natures but this is my opinion

If ur running this team you should aim for the last map. As long as you finish maps fast it doesnt matter if 3 teams die. You will get at least 617 points( around 500 is speed is an issue but still better than 440) If you kno a team cant win a map dont kill enemies but just do chip damage on them so ur next team can clear it faster and gain the sp.
Your first 2 teams should be able to last as long as posible. Ur 3rd team has to be able to make it to the last stage and have the ability to clear it but its more important for it to weaken the enemies. Your last team should be the finisher and be able to clear the last map with or witout help

My teams are:
5* +hp swap tank chrome
4* -atk faye :/
5* B! Caeda
Rehabilitate healer
Not really invested and wont go past 3rd map just there for faye and sp/hm train

5* Xain, 5* camus, 4* cecilia, 4* ursula
Fresly and haphazardly made horse team that has a chance to clear the rest of the trial but the positioning slows me down and brings my score down

5*Azura,5* sherene, 4* nino, 5* marth/lucina
Can clear some maps and maybe the last one(barely) but mostly for chip damage on the last map

TA Reinheart, brave cherche, fury olivia, desperation tharja.
They can solo the entire trials but they dont need the hm or sp

Yeah dont be afraid to trow away teams to enshure a faster score since speed is weighted more heavily than how many teams u used

I consistently get 670?? something like that and im like 200 in leaderboard with it.

STEP 1) Well I use 1 character boey for +0.4 but on survival I lose roughly -0.15 so I gain +0.25 total.

STEP 2) Surrender, dont bother wasting turns

STEP 3) use real team and you have extra points now
Blarblade Olwen
Dire Reinhardt (L&D)
Camus
Xander (Tri Adept)

survival is easy tbh, olwen kills nearly everything (including 90% of all greens while reinhardt has a +14 speed boosts due to my team and kills everything with a quad thats alot slower than olwen) they cover every green together while xander baits.
camus just for fun hardly use him..... may replace for a green horse when they release one I like....

Time is good and you shouldn't really need to spend more than 4 turns per round.

Consistently getting 650ish or more for my runs usually
I have:
Olivia (+spd, -res)
Alm (+def, -spd) :/
Klein (+atk, -def)
TA Robin (-res, +spd)
If im lucky, this team can beat every singly map without too much hassle.
However, if not, then the standard super horse emblem team of:
+atk Reinhardt
Xander
Camus
+atk Cecillia
practically guarantees a speedy and easy tempest trial.
The most important aspect is always the speed bonus, since it counts for a lot more compared to the survivability one. Use Olivia and her hone atk instead of a healer, this makes your nukes like +8 damage or something.
Also, if you have a brave bow user, then absolutely use them. It seems like there's 1-2 flyers per map usually, so they guarantee quick kills and allows for the rest of the party to gang up on the surviving units.
My Klein = MVP

My current main is Kagero/Linde/Hector/Lucina, and my backup is bunny Xander/Camilla/Niles/Tharja. The first team can tank almost anything (with Kagero hanging back for ranged nuking) and the second team is there to pick up the pieces (I haven't had to use it yet, but Tharja/Niles combo was good for Veronica last round). I'm F2P and have no bonus heroes, as well.

I use Mae and any healer plus 2 damager to level up or farm feathers. It's easy on hard mode so I just farm away.

I use my horse emblem (Xander-Ursula-Titania-Clarine) up to the 7th floor, beat them to one unit and switch to another team with Mae and some feather farmers. Doing that I get 673-676 points per run.

Team 1: camus, eldigan, hawkeye and lucious
Team 2: sanaki, sharena, camilla and jafar
Team 3: effie, zephiel, gordin and nino
Team 4: roy and any 4*s thatll hopefully finish the job if I messed up enough to get to this point lol
