But with Steady Breath and Ignis/Bonfire he'll obliterate on his retaliation basically any melee unit that tries to hit him, including pretty much every sword user. With his basic kit plus Ignis the only things that can really threaten him are red tome users and some buffed green tome users. Distant Counter kind of works against a lot of his strengths.

Am I understanding Steady breath right, if Bike is attacked, his special counter goes up one? or is it the person who attacked him? and if its his, is it from 3 moves to 4 or from 3 moves to 2? If it is his special, wouldn't it be better to just stick with using Steady stance 2?

It really depends what you want to do with Ike. With Bonfire and Distant counter he will kill anyone attacking him with brave weapons. however he will take more dmg.
In my case Distant counter works better because Bonfire is allready charged up due to Infantery pulse and wuickened Seal, makeing him a threat to anyone that attacks him.

It reduces the cooldown by 1 every time he's attacked. Combined with Urvan it means he can have Bonfire charged for every retaliation, or Ignis charged for every round of combat. It's borderline broken.

Basically, with his base kit plus Ignis and Quickened Pulse, (almost) no unit in the game can survive a round of combat with Bike if they initiate on him and he survives the first hit.

Was just thinking a needed a decent blue to pair with Bike, went and tried CYL banner for Lucina, got her first pull, -hp +def. Do her buffs stack with the like of Eirika or is it highest value person wins?

**Obsidian** · 2017-09-09 03:46

I believe her buffs will stack with Eirika/Ephraim/Sharena because hers are "in combat" buffs while the others are start-of-turn buffs that appear on the stat screen. I personally probably wouldn't field both of them at the same time just because it's a bit overkill and there are better reds around for combat than Eirika.

Been working on leveling up the Blue Lucina, with 19 Res at lvl 40 she cant seem to take anything a Red mage/dragon hits her with, much less a Blue mage/dragon. Even though I know she is meant for a supporting position, just need a way to get her SP up for skills. Does amazing against physical attackers though.

**Adajer** · 2017-09-10 18:31

Im still confused about the special cooldown trigger plus and minus. Trying to figure out which one means it makes my cooldown activate faster, but they both seem like they do the same thing whether tip says plus or minus.

so confuzzed

General rule: Defensiv stats like DEF or RES mean nothing if they are below 30. especially when coupled with low SPD.

That's generally how I look at it, guess I was just thinking that she would live a round against some red mages. I gave her Fury 3 and +3hp seal and she now has, 41 HP, 53 Atk, 39 Spd, 37 Def, and 22 Res, depends who she fights now, she should live a round to bait them closer.

Got Hector so I started rolling blues annnnnd Reinhardt. Brave Lyn and Reinhardt can't wait to party XD

**Deathbringer** · 2017-09-11 14:29

Still blowing up every 20 Orbs on the Brave Banner for either Roy or Lyn.....sighhhhhhhh

Same but for Bike and Lyn... Still no dice, and that bitch of Camilla broke my 4.5% pity rate today. I still have around 8 orbs to collect from TT, 4 for the arena, plus the daily ones, but damn... The deadline is close, and I wanted both. I'm starting to accept that I'll only have a neutral Bike (which is actually fine, mind you, but after spending so many orbs, I had hopes).

**Demosthenes** · 2017-09-12 08:49

Finally rolled a Hector yesterday. Had him soloing levels one or two tiers above him in the tower until he was 35. Then I stuck vantage on him and he soloed until he was 40. This was me the entire time.

I mean I roll with Effie, B. Cordelia and some other S units but Hector REALLY is in a class of his own.

**Deathbringer** · 2017-09-12 11:44

Got to 26 orbs and decided 3 colorless, 1 red and green. Got Roy from the 1 red.

TIME TO GET THAT FREE LYN. RIP Xander.

Thats been my experience in getting him recently as well. Accidentally entered the 3x TT run this AM with my leveling team (Hector, 2 dancers, Elise) and still made it to Round 7 with just them. Beastly.

I finally know how the 1% live.

That moment when you get Distant Counter and battles are not only easy, but won fast... Mine is also +attack, so leveling him was a really fun massacre.

**Demosthenes** · 2017-09-12 18:53

I have no idea what his IVs are. I've ignored IV because dupes of good things aren't exactly raining on me. Thought I saw him double stuff I didn't expect.

Looks like he's +attack -res which is a bit moot if he's countering with vantage.

**Oravis** · 2017-09-12 21:13

Used over 300 orbs on this damn banner so far with no on banner 5 stars to show for it... Managed to scrape up 20 more and finally got Lucina finally. Still want Roy and Ike though.

This must be payback for pulling 2 Hectors on this account.

**Mina** · 2017-09-13 03:56

Got Ninian, my first dancer. Pretty hype about it.
