Also, since I'm at ~35k feathers, I should totally do at least one 5* upgrade before I waste more XP into a 4* unit that will just get reset. Plus the rate of Orb acquisition has greatly slowed so I won't be getting many more draws. Normally I'd just do my own thing, but this is a game that's enough about gameplay over flavor that I might just go for gameplay hax. (Plus I don't have any really strong favorites in my potential crop.)
My 5*s: Ninian, Eliwood, Selena, Carrot Xander. Just got a fresh Minerva & Cherche too. Minerva has bad IVs (+HP, -Spd, reverse of Shale), Xander has good IVs (+Atk, -Res), Cherche has good IVs (+Atk, -HP), Ninian has good IVs I think (+Atk, forget the flaw?).
Options:
* Palla/Catria: Laggy fanboyism. Since I drew Minerva, I could make a goofy Goad Flyers / Ward Flyers team. Alternatively, Catria is just plain good, I've been running her as just a random handy 4* blue.
* Bartre: Eph fanboyism. Not tons of other great green picks. He gets Fury.
* Gunter??: Captain K fanboyism. With Eliwood, could do a Ward Cavalry / Hone Cavalry team, and throw in Carrot Xander as well for coverage. Needs a Reinhardt/Olwen/Priscilla/Clarine ideally too so that DEF tanks don't totally own them. (Also Clarine's eyes are creepily large, Captain K. Just sayin'.)
* Tiki-Adult: Since I have Ninian, I could make a goofy Dragon Emblem team? Problem is, no Fae, who seems a pretty important addition as the only green dragon in the game. (I've got a 4* neutral Corrin-F as well, but Ninian's already a blue herself, so that seems overkill.)
* Sharena, Corrin-M, Donnel, Tharja, Nino, Jeogre: Not likely, but just some other options. Sharena doesn't get owned by Takumi at least vs. say Catria as far as "promote a random blue." Corrin competes too directly with Selena, so probably not. Donnel has a cool hat. Tharja's high on the tier lists for some reason (she doesn't seem THAT good). Jeogre's a random archer who has helped out sometimes for Reposition / Dance hax.
Notable skill devour bait: I have a 4* Lon'qu for Vantage and a 4*Roy for Triangle Adept, if I could figure out who needed them.
Any thoughts? (That I reserve the right to totally ignore then flip coins?)
