Thread: Thoughts on Team?

So since this community seems rather helpful and polite, figured I'd ask for a bit of help on my party composition. I've played the game a little bit here and there over the years on different accounts, but never overly serious like I'm trying for this one. For now my team consists mostly of units that "I like", but I do realize that sometimes the ones that I specifically like may not be entirely optimal, especially once I make it past the desert maps into harder campaigns.

So this is what my team is right now:

MWA1.png

I don't want to take up even more image space listing the units I have in my barracks, so I'll just point out that I also have: Iris. Bernice. Monica. Fignelia. Anemone. Cornelia. Kagura. Sabinne. Marr. Camilla. Colin. Odette. Sophie. Eden.

I'm going to assume that I should probably put Fignelia in my party somewhere. Mikoto just by herself probably isn't enough in the temporary slow department, right? I'm not having any issues right now, but I probably will encounter some in the future. I also feel I should ask, does Marr (as a Feng Shui User) reduce the hp reduction effect on the desert missions? If so I should probably put her on the team too; currently kind of stuck on the second base defense map.

Anyway, thoughts? Ideas? Kind of all ears here. Like I said, first time I've actually decided to keep a serious account, so not entirely sure what's best or not.

You have a lot of goods units to be honest , but i just dont udnerstand why you're using the gold male healer over camilla. I'd also replace chizuru with sophie (while chizuru is a great ranged rod , sophie tends to be the better all around rod. I guess you could use chizuru as an antiswarm , but her crap defense makes her kinda meh to anything bigger then goblins)

You could replace 1 of the 2 princesses with sabinne if you lack ranged on a melee spot , and dont have saki yet.
I'd suggest you replace lilia if you do that ,since sherry has a great AW passive that buffs all golds or lowers (and you seem to have plenty of golds )


Honestly , i'd probably replace elllet as well with something lese (camilla or marr or something). I don't really see the point of having 2 healers on meele on most maps , especially if you have good healers on ranged. The again , if you have great ranged DPS , you might want to use them over your ranged healers , especially if limited by ranged slots on a map.



PS : i'd try to get spica as well if u dont have it.

Those are my very first thoughts. I'll update if i see something else


EDIT : actually you have so many good units that i'd raise to be honest. Entirely forgot about fignelia. She is a great witch as well. I'd probably replace fuuka with her if i needed more magic dps

Main reason I have Robert is simply because I had CC'd him far before I got Camilla, which means he has higher range. I did have Sophie in there (First black I drew on this account) and I'm not sure when I ended up switching her out. 'Course, leveling her past one might help. I like having my twin Princesses, but until I can get Lilia Awakened she's not really a super heavy tank and Sherry is simply better. I did replace Ellet with Marr (mainly for the double heal, although events with map effects will be nice to have her on) and Fuuka with Fignelia, although I'm still teetering on that one a bit. If my mages weren't so costly, I'd just keep Fuuka. Even if Fignelia is better in the long run.

As for Spica, I'm probably going to get her today as a matter of fact, I have 126 DC, few runs of the daily and I'll have enough. My question is, should Spica replace Bashira or Claire?

Bernice is one of the best tanks in the game, and is something to consider for your team.

Fignelia is going to be your best single target ranged magical DPS and is great for maps with super heavy hitting enemies that you want to stall their movement with.

I personally LOVE mikoto and drop her 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in almost every map. A def keep. The nice thing about mikoto is she frees up slots, as she preforms almost like a warlock and a witch combined. She will not have the wave clear that a warlock does, or the slow that a witch does, but does enough of both to be very useful for her skill and up. She can halt strong bosses or stop rush maps long enough for you to switch out something or generate that last bit of UP to win. Mikoto combos well with assassinate hi-jinks as well, giving you more hits for more proc chances (let's face it, some maps need that lucky assassinate unless you have a lot of cheap blacks that can instant skill to clear things).

I would pick Sherry as your melee magic dps. She is more attack oriented and will have a better AW for your current team. Sherry is the highest damaging princess as well I believe, getting higher numbers than the blacks with skill active.

Pick one melee healer over the other. Don't need two. Marr is a great healer to build as she makes poison and desert maps more bearable (yes, she reduces damage on placement in deserts, but you have to place her early to get any use from that), while at the same time having the output of a silver healer on multiple people. The male healer isn't a bad idea to build up, simply because you need male units for some maps. However, the gold female healers will out-class him. Camilla is considered by most to be the best pure-healer currently available, so that is something to consider as well.

One thing I notice is you have 4 physical dps ranged slots and no spica. Spica should be your #1 priority right now imo. I have never used the ranger, but I would imagine her and your gold archer are much less useful than other options you have. Plat archer + Marr + Prince + Gold Cannon unit can clear crystal G on their own btw, without need of additional units, (pending on how leveled they are) so getting the crystals for spica shouldn't be too much trouble.

Ditch the plat valk you have. She really isn't any better than Kerry (considering Kerry is much easier to cost reduce and place early). You already have princesses and aria as UP ramp, so I would put effort into other units besides her.

You have some great units

COnsidering claire is not even awakened yet , it's probably her for now. After AW/SAW , claire might actually have a different use (she can attack 3 targets at once) , but right now shes just a gold archer with attack increase. Spica is a plat archer (and an elf at that) with attack and range increase , so for now , she's a direct upgrade.

Bashira is a burst archer. Shes good vs bosses or stuf that needs to be killed fast. That's a different niche , and that's why i'd keep her in the team over claire.


PS ; the gold male healer is quite a bit weaker then iris as well , so at the very worst , id get iris instead of him if camilla is not cc-ed

Well, I'm not getting Spica any time soon. Game trolled me, and gave me 3-4 demon crystal drops every time except for the last time after I spent all my stamina/charisma. I'm at freaking 198 DC because the game gave me two drops on my last run. To hell with you, MWA. To hell with you.

I use Robert as my main healer along with Iris, who are my highest rarity for healers. Don't see the issue w/ him.

the issue with him is that he has a 380 attack at max level , after awakening, while an alissa for example has 378 at cc50 , and only wins at higher skill levels in attack (he has heal 2 instead of heal 1. So 1.7x increase in damage as opossed to 1.5x)

Not considering AW , he has 311 attack , more then 60 damage lower then a healer with a whole rarity lower then him. Hell , Christopher , the other silver male healer has 328 attack.


His only advantage is that he has the cost of a silver (guess that's fair , considering his healling power is compared with a silver) , a decent passive , and a better skill. But stats wise , he's weaker then even silvers in healing power , right untill very high AW levels

oh crap, should have lvl up Christopher - should look at stats more often

when I got Robert before Christopher which was a long gap - I was like super stoked to have a male healer for male only daily missions

if thats how u intend to use him , he's okay , since he also increases the drop rate to alcohol , so utility wise , he's better. But his aff bonus being hp instead of attack is really bad
