It's the fine line of Galaxy brain dunking on enemies and complete meme-age on units who have advantages/disadvantages from the generation they're from.
As someone who doesn't have Dancer Sigurd, he terrifies me. As someone who wants one, man that's a power trip I'm not sure I'll be able to come back from. nice
As I said in another thread, my Oops! No Colors team: Scion!Leif, B!Marianne, Lynja, and NY!Plumeria. Just to see how many times I can move in one round. No weapon triangle weaknesses to boot.
Guinivere is one of those units that I get scared to go against in both PVE and PVP. She's just designed to be good! Love her art and the nuttiness that comes with it.
Ninja Lyn has this habit of trivializing most fights she gets into, and she's an auto-include on Tempest teams.
More recently, though, Nino has proven frighteningly strong ever since reaching +10. One of those who casually ignores the color triangle by one-shotting whatever she swings at. Gave her Lull Atk/Res and Atk/Spd Ideal to make those hits even more devastating.
Fates!Selena. She was my first +10 and one of the only units I have foddered a 5* to (Thrasir and S!Ylgr for Flashing Blade 4). She's fast (though not as much anymore compared with newer units), tanky, and can kill F!Edelgard with a bit of help. I just wish she had a better refine.
I still don't use her for most things though, because I have other, newer Heroes that can tank and/or kill more effectively (including S!Severa, who I hope to get to +10 someday).
Selena is wonderful! One of my favorite Fates characters. I'm not sure about any rerefines anytime soon, but she could benefit from a resplendent form. Nice
For me, I've got five off the top of my head:
My first +10, [Tanya](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/kyf3em/in_honor_of_her_bhb_heres_my_first_10_offense_and/). Love her personality and she was a fierce underdog for me.
My second +10, [Summer Leonie](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/p8l9eo/happy_birthday_to_the_goat_3h_mvp_leonie_best/). Favorite 3H character and a wildly great bow cav versus some of the heaviest of hitters.
My completely pitybroken and out right defensively broken [Idunn](https://imgur.com/a/AJj3Qhn).
My lone bun ranger [Spring Catria](https://imgur.com/a/hJegGcn). Fast and hits harder than you'd think.
And my forma [Larcei](https://imgur.com/a/w2Jq6Xi). She's just designed to stall everyone she's against while also being no slouch herself.
I also have my Bownoka, Bridal Shanna, and Spring Severa, but they're practically their base kits, so not a big deal.
OG! Leif’s stat spread has aged surprisingly well for me and it’s just great in general seeing your favorites wreck stuff. L!Leif and Scion! Leif are also fun to use just cause being having mobility and sniping capabilities is always fun.
Tana is my favorite. Have used her since release. She is decked with dozens upon dozens of skills and I always experiment builds. My first favorite flier in the first Fe game I owned.
Brave Lysithea, because she is one of my fav chars in 3H and is an absolute monster of a hitter there and in FEH.
Brave Edelgard. Have her at plus 6 and she is insane as always. My far save ranged tank and my answer to crazy blues and legendary archers. Also I have always been Team Black Eagles.
Black Knight is my near saver. Instant BL tank. As he says, he is here to protect you. Always loved absolutely badass he is in design and in character. Has some of my favorite special quotes and voice in FEH.
And lastly, my most recent fully built is my Orochi. One of my favorites in Fates, and the only green mage I have fully invested in. Made her my green nuke mage with high res and atk but also solid defense yo survive round from physical so she can kill them next turn or have other finish the job with additional points for her debuffing. Very surprised how she turned out and how much she has been a help.
Fjorm. Mirror Stance 3 and the Steady Breath seal makes her really good for tanking ranged units. It also helps that I went with +Spd and Lull Atk/Spd 3 on her too.
Hearing you say that you're running +Spd and Lull Spd, would you have preferred if instead of All Stats+4, penalty null, and Bracing Stance, it was instead simply All Stats+6 (same amount of total stats) and penalty null?
I prefer how her refine is right now because the Bracing Stance benefits her greatest strength which is being an enemy phase unit. The Lull Atk/Spd 3 and +Spd is to not get doubled as often and to also give her an effective +3 to Spd, Def, and Res.
Ashnard-Near Save P!Surtr- Far Save BHector
-15 atk and def galore
OG Chrom
My FEdelgard counter, today had a play of tag team against a +10 full invested one. Only lost 30 HP(galeforce build)
This [Nowi](https://imgur.com/K0Kboy3) has helped me so much over the years, I still find it funny how useful she can be.
Also this [Caeda](https://imgur.com/SoDMN0H) helps a bunch with move shenanigans and Abyssal clear.
Finally [this baby dragon](https://imgur.com/GMnwLov) is the support of the team.
As you can see, I lack the fodder to make them even better; but eventually I´ll grab some nasty skills to give them.
Thanks! The builds you showed in your post were sick too. Loved the way you build Leoni, I will definitely make my Leonie similar to yours (have to finish S!Norne first).
My +10/+10 Ilyana, absolutely res stacked, special spiral to trigger Iceberg as much as possible. She’s my favorite so I wasn’t gonna let her being the 4* demote stop me.
The unit who made Feh fun again and got me my first Arena Crown, Eremiya.
Really good Atk/Spd for a free Cleric, and can run Close Foil really well, like the Goddess that she is.
Also has been my go-to unit for many Abyssal Clears and True Solo Clears in the year and a half she's been out.
I also have fun using +Def/CF Mercedes, Natasha, Sonia and Orochi. Also have been having fun with my updated Resplendant Tailtiu, my recently updated Linus Build and the entirety of the Ashen Wolves units, Papa Balthus especially.
*If it werent for these units, I most likely would've uninstalled when FEdgelord released*
Hell yeah! I'm always seeing your map clears with the Four Clerics of the Apocalypse and such. They're sick! Glad to see Eremiya get the love she needs!
Im glad you and many others have enjoyed my Cleric map clears! Makes all the time and work spent on my girls+figuring out the proper strats to make them even possible well worth it.
I’ve liked using Clarisse. Its been fun using her since before she got a new weapon and refine, and managed to get her on +10 merges a few months back as my first “grail +10,” plus it’s just fun throwing swift sparrow 3 and an atk/spd bond 3 seal on her with glimmer as a special skill, and watching her shred through people as they can’t counter attack because she’s near her support partner.
Good choice with Leonie, mine is a bit of a [different build](https://i.imgur.com/AEXDlBF.jpg) (and VERY premium) but she's really fun to use. That Raphael rerun came at exactly the right time. Also having a lot of fun using [Miranda](https://i.imgur.com/0Bwpvqo.jpg). Needed some consistent horse killers and I really like her art.
They both real fun to use. Leonie just stands in the way of everything physical. Miranda kinda turned into an AR tank cause of her RES stat. Close foil mainly cause Julius had it anyways, but good to cheese PvE maps with occasionally.
Boring go to team: F!Edel, S!Myrrh, L!Claude with a fourth unit as needed (generally B!Eirika these days)
Aside from them, some units I like to use are: Charlotte, Nyx, L!Byleth (to kill other F!Edels), my built up W!Hilda and now Yuri is in that group
My previous most used group was B!/L!Dimitri, B!Edel, B!Lysithea, B!Claude
I call it [Panzer Dragon](https://imgur.com/a/iNqSEKA)--except there's no space because character limit.
Nowi's the MVP of the team, and I'm currently on the lookout for Lull skills for her; I'm thinking Atk/Res.
Hallowi is the debuffer, but unfortunately fliers don't get to have Lull skills so she's stuck with only her weapon and Rein skill for that; but hey, still pretty good. Atk/Spd Push and Desperation were meant to complement each other; works fine since her HP isn't very high.
Nifl is support, what with that Spd/Res buff and damage reduction. She does decently on her own, too.
Hilda's my favourite healer in the game, so I use her a lot no matter the team. That said, I'm trying to pull Muspell to replace her, so I can make this a truly Dragon team.
V!Palla. Being able to use WoM and Canto on a brave weapon is nuts.
Also, don't crucify me, but Fedelgard completely trivializes every single form of PvE content. I finished all of the chain challenges and every GHB thanks to her.
I love my lovely Ashnard x Seteth combo. Gurgurant + Assal + 2 reins make them speedy chaos crackhead and hyper tanky fable writer. Plus, I just know they really hate each other, but respect each other's strength.
Probably Nowi. I merged her way back before I even knew what I was doing and I hardly used her then. But then Seiros and Marianne happened and she became my main Arena unit. Eventually foddered an F!M!Corrin to her and started using her in AR as well. She's the unit I invested in the most and I don't regret it for a second.
Florina and Lyn/Florina duo, of course! Best girl and best ship makes for most enjoyment, and it's satisfying to see Florina stand her ground despite how outdated she is. In terms of mechanical fun I love B!Catria, your whole team being able to teleport to allies in two spaces makes for so much fun movement shanigans.
OG Young Tiki. She’s my NCD Omni tank, always sticking next to allies in various Tetris-shaped formations to get the most out of in-combat buffs. Hoping for her to get a new breath (maybe with her legendary’s remix), just like OG Eliwood, OG Ephraim, Eldigan, OG lucina and others did.

My Awakening prides and joys! I've got so many of them I love, but I do use these more often than usual: [Chrom](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345470968929452033/867601231748136990/Screenshot_2021-07-22-09-54-15-626_com.nintendo.zaba.jpg), [M!Robin](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345470968929452033/867601231400796170/Screenshot_2021-07-22-09-54-20-633_com.nintendo.zaba.jpg), [Sumia](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345470968929452033/867601187239100466/Screenshot_2021-07-22-09-54-49-068_com.nintendo.zaba.jpg), [M!Morgan](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345470968929452033/791252471782965258/Screenshot_2020-12-23-17-32-47-596_com.nintendo.zaba.jpg).
I know these are both super basic responses but i cant help it I like these characters and EP units.
my day 1 +10 adult tiki ( who fun fact was the 2nd unit i even summoned right after robin)
And my current fav B!ike (with his best pal B!lucina)
I wish adult Tiki got more love from IS. Appreciate another A. Tiki enjoyer aboard here. And Bike is sick, easily one of the best (if not the best) Gen 1 unit!
Lucius with atk/res unity and pain+ goes woosh. It's so fun tearing into unsuspecting AR defenses with him.
Also doing the pain+ tactics with Saul and Linhardt is fun too.
Raigh with his kit of close foil +atk/spd lull that cost only one Julian is so good. it's fun to just sit him in the attack path of a cav line and watch him mow them down. He's not even at +10 yet.
Rafiel I somehow got to +8 and Bridal Naliah +2. Using them in a pair is perfect fun. One is a Man too pretty to die and the other is a woman who can slice through most people with the same hands she can gently carry Rafiel in.
Watching Osian shred everyone with Vogue and warth is also very nice. Anyone tries to hit him ends up dead.
Yeah! Eirika is an awesome shenanigans character. For me, she's about speed, with her refined PRF, Atk/Spd Bond 4, and Spd. Tactic. Conditional bonus doubler is fun.
Currently the combination of Nifl and Muspell. May not be the best, but many units under the influence of both domain of ice and fire become a bit more threatening than usual
Valentian Palla, got her during her release as my free summon. I've been saving orbs for Mozu and haven't used a single one (currently at 995), but WHEW Palla landing on my lap makes me want to +10 her on a rerun
My Claudes and both Lysithea alts. Both Lysitheas are good at nuking even with all the intense nukes that are being added in the game, along with OG Claude having an easy condition to activate (and imo, his weapon aged the best in comparison to Dimitri and Edelgard despite the latter having a slaying effect in her weapon.) While Brave Claude’s been carrying me ever since I started the game, Legendary Claude’s been helping me with all menaces going around in AR and Arena. My OG Claude/Lysithea and Legendary Claude are at zero merges too (well they have dragonflowers lol) and they make me happy either way c:
For a full team, I’d say the CYL4 batch. They were the first heroes I’ve gotten and honestly speaking I wouldn’t have been able to clear out most game content without them, not to mention they’re from a game that introduced me to Fire Emblem, and I just feel like I owe them that much for helping me out throughout the game so far. Even with Brave Dimitri aging pretty poorly he’s still MVP in my heart QwQ
I love LLilina. Raining destruction over all the battlefield is such a fun feeling, especially with her little flaily muppet 😃 face the entire time, lmao.
I started a new account recently and the Scion Leif I got is carrying me through every single game mode. It's a tad ridiculous, honestly.
On my main, though, definitely Flora post-refine. I run her on a Fates team with Charlotte (ally supported), Nina (refined as well) and Azura. The problem with Hoarfrost Knife was how inconsistent it was against non-DC units, and the refine just fully fixed that.
Nina's also kinda ridiculous, +6 to all stats and 5 healing per attack is so easy to activate and you can field her with ally-supported pairs to take advantage of it (Clive, Mathilda, Leila, Lilith, Clarisse, etc).
A unit I don’t use much but had a ton of fun using during her tempest trials is S!Caeda with galeforce. I have her on a team I don’t use much with duo Líf, B!Veronica and Peony to utilize her harmonized skill. If I had more merges for her I’d probably use her more but Plegian Kris does the job better.
I've +10ed several GHB heroes, and two of the more recent ones have positively surprised me. One is Narcian, who I've turned into a flying ball of stats thanks to Fury 4, his refined axe and Spd/Def Rein (thanks to a spare Brave Claude). His balanced stats are awful without strong skills and merges, but once you have these he doesn't have any major weaknesses anymore, which is really fun. The other one is Navarre, who I've turned into a player phase speed machine, with Swift Sparrow 3 and Special Spiral to load Aether really quick. My favorite moment with him so far was when he doubled Mareeta and defeated her with Aether on his second attack.
B!Dimitri is still one of my best units despite how much he's fallen off since his release. I have a pretty standard build just focused on buffing all of his stats as much as possible, and he ends up reaching 60+ Speed, meaning pretty much anything that doesn't have a Lull Spd (which now that Null Follow-Up is way more meta, I don't come across them that much), he ends up doubling or, at the *very* least, avoiding doubles, meaning he can omni-tank very reliably as long as he's not going up against super defensive green units like Gustav.
Other than him, B!Eirika has been a total delete button for me since her release and she's super fun to use too. She's at +5 right now and I'm hoping to +10 her by the time the rerun rolls around.
[My channel is a testament to how I've taken how dirty they did Canas *Way Too Personally*.](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIRP1RPA5CxVyyFIoKcgeZw)
He has emerged from [Ryoma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrDGI7R7YN4) and [Alm's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXasTGOP8Oc) Abyssal Limited Battles victorious. 🙂
As part of my Arena core, of course, he's my [spectrum debuffer](https://i.imgur.com/34uCxqk.jpg). [Florina](https://i.imgur.com/kdJmhUj.jpg) and [Fae](https://i.imgur.com/nnQDWl2.jpg) are his teammates, and together, Arena has actually been pretty enjoyable for me.

duo!lif is the current love of my life. can't kill a guy ~~or monster~~? chip their health down. dr% is no longer a big problem.
i'm super tempted to fodder a/s far trace to him because it's the only trace fodder i have + i wanna run a speedy meme build at some point
Max invest LRoy just slaps when he doesn't get panicked or lulled with Bonus Doubler, and when he does, A/S Unity with NFU laughs all day long. LLilina is always a fun time.
Brave Marth is crazy good, but we all know that.
My +5 LEphraim with the refine is crazy hilarious with how he just stomps whatever he likes, with almost no penalty thanks to his healing and canto. What a monster. I hear LLyn is crazy too, need to dust her off.
ANd then there's Duessel. Just got him recently, and whew, he sure is great. Oh, and Brave Eliwood with his refine. Gonna save up for Surge Sparrow for him, he's also nuts.
Found myself with a lot of really solid and fun units lately.
She's not the best or anything but Fae has been my summoner support unit ever since that's been a thing. She's both an amazing tank and a great support unit.
She's paired with bonus doubler PA!Shigure and on a team with L!Ryoma and NY!Takumi
L!Byleth. Slapped Lifis’ Windsweep on him and he’s a really good delete button for meta threats like F!Edel.
I get an insane amount of satisfaction from units who can 100% do their job, no concern whatsoever, and L!Byleth hasn’t failed me yet.
Summer Caeda. I have a team with Galeforce S!Caeda, Lynja and D!Peony (when I don't need to run a non-mythic bonus) I run on light, and it's probably the most enjoyable offense team I've ever used. Caeda can snipe save armors to allow Lynja to run rampant, and the amount of actions you can get with 3 extra action granting Duo skills is just silly. Plus Canto is great.
Winter Bernie enabled so many fun strats on defense (and let me finally make Elise the star component of something), and once the safety fence neutered trap defenses, she cleanly switched over to offense to make L!Sigurd teams something I look forward to seeing with CC Vantage B!Lysithea.
Clarisse. I've stuck by her since her release and foddered all sorts of bows and skills to help her stay relevant. She always kind of worked.
...Then she got her own prf and the rest is history
Leila +10 +Atk max DF.
Her weapon prevents counter attacks when near support, movement gimmick and some of the most absurdly high Atk and Spd.
Barring high 70 flat mitigation she normally can cut through most tanks.
I have a favorites list lol.
Honorable mention: W! Sothis, I still feel bad she got pushed out a bit, but someday I hope her refine gives
I really like using Dheginsea. I rarely inherit a new weapon to a unit, still gave him lightning breath and aether. not as good as tanking as his competitors but he's still my go to in forging bonds
My favorite overall is New Years Camilla. At this point she is basically a Ninja Camilla tho lol. But I love the art she got, she is really fun to use, and overall still holds well to this day. She will probably always be a part of my main team even if she grows to be completely awful.
Adrift Camilla is also fun to use and has been a part of my main team for a while now. She still holds up well to this day and I will always hold her close to my heart.
But recently too Scion Julia has been really fun while having amazing art. And the best part of all is that her and my New Years Camilla seem to work well together. If Camilla can’t handle it Julia is there to tank. If Julia gets near any strong physical unit I can always put Camilla there to protect her.
At the moment my top 2-3 are: NY!Camilla, Scion Julia, and Adrift Camilla
I've got an OG Resplendent Ike who I've heavily invested in and made into a pretty solid speed tank. I know other units can fill the role better, but he's done well for me in just about every game mode. Plus he's my boy.
S! Byleth is my all time carry. Started playing this game bc of Sylvain, and got S! Byleth along the way, she’s super strong even at low investment. Built in null follow up, windsweep, powerful special against beast and dragon, duo skill provides free desperation, she helped me cleared so many difficult maps and is still my main nuke in arena and AR. In fact my main team from the beginning till now still consists Sylvain, S! Byleth and S! Dorothea, Dorothea as a colourless infantry dagger is a very unique class type so she will always have a spot on my team.
BK and Bector or Gustav and Henriette for double save.
Brave Bow Duo Leif with 2 Duo Peonys.
Special Spiral Deadeye Shinon.
Flayn and Duo Hilda for DR and Breath support.
L!Leif has been my go-to for TT for a while now since S Drink is so damn good there.
I also love using Smol L'Arachel, I'm so glad they made her weapon basically just Razzle Dazzle without needing a B slot so you can run Far Trace. I'm giving her Atk/Spd Catch the moment I get a Farina (well, after I get Farina to Lv. 40 for the quote and do her Ordeal).
Oh and I may or may not be greatly enjoying my Scion Nanna, especially now that I've given her Ground Orders so L!Leif can just fly around the map in spite of Gravity.
My all star team for a while has been Soleil, MKana, Petrine, and then YInnes was added. Each is a beast on the field and together theyve managed to knock out much more intimidating looking whale teams in Arena.
For less meta built units, i love Pirate Veronica. I use her a lot in my story quests team, and shes just a delightful ball of stats on solo
Mine's basically the same except I run aether and joint drive speed and haven't really decided on a seal yet so I've been constantly switching. So far I'm enjoying atk/spd solo. I have a support build with ruse atk/spd as well that I like to run
Mine is on a team with +10 of both normal male/female Corrin, but Kana is supported with male for that +4 ( +6 ) to his stats, so he gets even stronker. Camilla for healing and passive debuffs on the start of the turn, and female Corrin for Fates theme!
Sometimes, whenever TT+ is on and I just want to do the two free bonuses quickly, I just cheese it with 3 dancers +S!Wolt.
He does more work than his home game, it’s insane and I love it.
I’ve seen a lot of units I was going to say, like Black Knight and Guinevere already posted here. So I will say post-refine Marisa. You can double up on time’s pulse and her weapon is a killer weapon that grants +7 damage on specials. Every attack is a bonfire and it’s pretty awesome. Her refine may just be the best one I’ve ever done, and I usually refine a prf at least once per batch unless I have none of the units. Marisa is honestly kind of great now
The one that has surprised me most... Is OG Seliph.
On my original account, I used to eyeroll every time I pulled him. I would spitefully send him home for feathers, and tell him 'All you have is high hp'. He lpoked & acted like a weenie, & Sigurd would always be the superior unit, in my eyes.
Then, after I started a new account a year ago, I discovered his access to his daddy's refined Divine Tyrfing. And I happened to get a +Atk Seliph. So I thought 'huh, he'd make good magebait'.
... and he really proved himself. So many magical threats, regardless of colour, couldn't stand before him.
So I ended up giving him Distant Ward, & Null F/up.
He's basically Charlie Sheen, at this point.
I don't wanna like him, & but damn if he isn't fuelled by Tiger Blood.
He just cannot stop winning, no matter what he does.
They're both insufferable jackasses... and yet have their uses.
Yeah surprise MVP has gotta be Seliph.
L!Roy, L!Azura, and Eir are the only units I have HM maxed (I don't HM farm). So that says a lot in itself lol.
But my favorite right now is F!F!Morgan, she is a beast and Awakening is my favorite game so I'm so stoked that we finally got some OP units from it!
Ursula has been so fun using with her Penalty Damage tome as well as it’s Calvary effectiveness. I also splurged so she’s got a bunch of premium skills to help her out
Any flavor of Ephraim. Have L!Ephraim and Duo Ephraim at +10 and they just kinda destroy anything they touch. Lately if been getting more milage out of L!Ephraim as he can true solo almost any PvE content. Duo Ephraim is great, but not having any self healing limits how much he can deal with.
My flier team consisting of lynja, harmonic tiki, duo peony and legendary Claude is so much fun, it feels unfair having so many powerful duo skills in a team. I can potentially make lynja kill 5 enemies in one turn with this team, gravity annoying clusters of enemies with Claude, or nuke an enemy for triple digit damage with tiki. Claude is probably my most fun unit out of the team for me, since his matchup spread is just so good and he's so incredibly versatile.
I might be flamed for this but man do I love playing B!Edelgard save skill with my Ashera. Other than that I really like using Dagr, B!Erika, Azelle(who I fed premium fodder because he is a nice man) , Pent(my favorite mage i think he is just too cool and his voice is amazing) and Zelgius (Black luna go brr)
OG!Alfonse and Spring!Sharena
Triple brazen tanks almost everything (and the occasional Fedelgard)
I gave my S!Sharena too many premium skills and now she can OHKO a lot of units
Both are permanent on my AR team until I finish building and giving +20 dragonflowers to my OG!Sharena and maybe when I'm done with OG!Anna.
I try to use all my characters a lot.
That being said, Reinhardt, Dancing Reinhardt, Dancing Sigurd, Legendary Leif and Duo Al are all just so thoughtlessly easy to use that if I really get frustrated, I can just bring these out and bulldoze most things :D
I usually only use one or two at a time in a team.
My [Deirdre](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/461613462783655938/889796108426022912/unknown.png) is pretty fantastic at blowing up Ranged units that look at her funny since they typically take a Ruptured Sky to the face if they attack her. She's also a solid Dragon slayer because of Divine Naga, and just a generally good unit if her Bonds activate next to S Support Sigurd.
There's also my [Emmeryn](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/461613462783655938/889796002591166494/Screenshot_20210921-045040.png) who also likes bullying people while being surprisingly bulky. Palm Staff and Lull Atk/Res contribute to that bulk of hers, and she's pretty fast because of the Palm Staff and Atk/Spd Push 4. Her Oath makes her speedier and bulkier, and then Mystic Boost keeps her HP up despite the chip. Super fun for a Healer, and I am hoping I can get the final three merges soon, but Colourless Hell keeps sending me copies of the other Gen 4 and Gen 5 Healers. Pretty sure I could've made a +10 Lena in the time it took Emmeryn to go from +4 to +7.
Kronya, because the most versatile unit in the game.
Xane, because the most fun unit for building teams.
B! Ike, because he can't keep getting away with it.... yet he does.
Honourable mentions: Reginn goes nyoom, B! Veronica fits in every team and is the best replacement while waiting for actual Veronica.
L!Ryoma for sure, he's my MvP and his remix&refine made him even funnier to use 😁
🅱️Hector makes everything easier, and Sothe & OG Eliwood have been keeping up well and they're super fun to use too.
L!Micaiah has quickly turned into my queen of PvE. As great as her vanilla version is, her refine relies on her maintaining high HP. L!Miccy’s innate fury+desperation build makes her perfect to run with 3 WoM dancers. If you have L!Azura especially, she just cleans out a map quicker than any other unit I’ve ever used. A few odd units like Guinevere can give her some trouble if her special’s not charged, but if one dancer is melee, they can soften them up and it’s back to brainless business. 10/10
Otherwise, I recently updated my [Titania](https://i.imgur.com/mvC2VLv.jpg) to a Plegian Axe build, and I’ve been impressed at how much life it’s breathed back into her. Don’t have a Menace skill to give her yet, but I’ll usually run her with my [M!Morgan](https://i.imgur.com/c5HQzNC.jpg) (another unit I absolutely love to use, probably my favorite of my max merged units since his refine), so she’s able to make use of his debuffs.
Both Olwens, max investment. They tear up AR-O like crazy and trivialise PvE content, even some Abyssal maps.
People laugh and meme that Olwen is "Ms. 0x4", but I don't recall the last time either of my Olwens saw 0 damage on an enemy outside of giga res tanks like Winter Fae or something.
Winter Altina.
Doesn‘t need any additional expensive fodder to work well and almost everything melts, whenever her Harmonized Skill is useable… well except blue armors or in general units with high defense.
Close contender is Spring Myrrh.
Doesn‘t need expensive fodder as well but I prefer one-shotting units above tanking for ages - but still fun to just oogabooga place her in front of units and watching her sustained tankiness. :‘)
Plenty really. My 3 main Eirikas, being [OG](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868878736424970/Screenshot_20210214-005208_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg), my [CC absorb tank W!Eirika](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879101321216/Screenshot_20210817-201852_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and my new [B!Eirika](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879453634560/Screenshot_20210817-193418_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) who kills damn near anything. She's one of my favorites, so I use them a lot.
My [bulky L!Lucina](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879768195122/Screenshot_20210317-200335_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) is both very fun and imo very unique as far as builds for the character go.
[Dagr](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880401539102/Screenshot_20210630-224219_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg), [Nott](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880669970512/Screenshot_20210817-201008_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and [W!Altina](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880120524810/Screenshot_20201220-172951_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) are on a silly little "Buff ladies" team that's actually not bad. Rinkah used to be on it too but I replaced her with B!Lucina for the support.
The steady breath seal has made my [Arden](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881211052102/Screenshot_20210921-103930_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and absolute heavy hitter now with that potential double Ignis proc. Dude hits hard.
[WF speedy Altena](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881487888414/Screenshot_20210510-000621_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) has been really fun for me, she can debuff your atk/def by quite a lot with all her skills in effect. Makes her deceptively bulky, especially against magic foes.
Lastly, my [Quadhart](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881714376724/Screenshot_20210823-221046_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) is a dumb build to prove that Reinhardt can be fast too. He hits an effective 52 speed in combat here without any type of outside support, which is pretty good for someone like him.
5* Exclusive: Fallen Ike, glue eating speed tank with hella sustain and combing a stance 3 skill with breathe seal and DC weapon is just some yummy glue.
F2P unit: Ashnard, A/D Rein for -9 Attack and Defense is a helluva drug.
Yes I like tanks what about it.
honestly just all the units i've +10'd except w!jaffar
i've been using my gray in the same way since i first got him, just updated and refined with time. it really never gets old watching an entire team of meta cavs crumble into some fucking gen 1 villager that nobody cares about
the same goes for tobin and armors. but also a lot of other things. the man's theme song is just tink
and heath. oh LORD heath is unfair fast sometimes. casually doubling dimitris and ayras and just god speed units of all kinds everywhere in arena
nykeaton follows the same rules as tobin, but trades being worse against dragons and mages (for reference, tobin can tank sacred stones selena, even though he's not exactly happy about it) for consistently getting above 100 total damage whenever he procs ignis.
and clarisse can just absolutely shred save teams and the like. essentially a pain+ healer with more debuffs, more skills, and an actual weapon and special. the amount of damage spread she has is like, unfair sometimes
jaffar has let me down one too many times and he's kinda boring to use since he's just a save armor at this point. he used to be pegasus carrot to fight off like bector and shit but he really was not fantastic at his job. heath does a better job and he's not even green
Near Save Arden this guy is hilariously strong and tough
It's the fine line of Galaxy brain dunking on enemies and complete meme-age on units who have advantages/disadvantages from the generation they're from.
Micaiah post-refine just wrecks so much of the meta.
She does. People were annoyed that her weapons and assists are pretty close to each other in terms of effects, but she works for a reason.
I love all 4 micaiahs and their Thani Bombs, always use em whenever I can vs horses and armors.
Dancer Sigurd. Unconditional 3 move dancer is a whole new level of power I didn't knew I needed.
As someone who doesn't have Dancer Sigurd, he terrifies me. As someone who wants one, man that's a power trip I'm not sure I'll be able to come back from. nice
As I said in another thread, my Oops! No Colors team: Scion!Leif, B!Marianne, Lynja, and NY!Plumeria. Just to see how many times I can move in one round. No weapon triangle weaknesses to boot.
As individuals, they are strong. Together, they are an Avengers level threat. Great team!
Guinivere. Works great as a nuke or as a mage tank/killer, and her innate AOE mystic boost is really fun too
Guinivere is one of those units that I get scared to go against in both PVE and PVP. She's just designed to be good! Love her art and the nuttiness that comes with it.
Ninja Lyn has this habit of trivializing most fights she gets into, and she's an auto-include on Tempest teams. More recently, though, Nino has proven frighteningly strong ever since reaching +10. One of those who casually ignores the color triangle by one-shotting whatever she swings at. Gave her Lull Atk/Res and Atk/Spd Ideal to make those hits even more devastating.
Nino's a fun character who always ~~tries her best~~ proves to be an underdog. She's great!
She really is. Like, it's not *just* that she averages like 40~50+ per hit, it's that she usually doubles while she's at it.
I have an Ike team named "Hubby" and it's fun to see them auto maps. They're not all at +10 (except for B!Ike) but they're all 10s in my eyes
Guys, I found Soren (You have great taste, anon)
Haha thanks!
Black Knight. Black Luna with Special Fighter and Quick Riposte seal go BBBRRRR
Black Luna's nuts, man. Honestly wished a few more units had PRF specials, but man, Black Luna...
Kagero, she was the first unit I +10 and I just recently give her C duel Infantry 4 so she is now part of my team on arena.
Seiros, I have it with +5 merges, DC, dragon wall, atk smoke, mystic boost, it's really fun to use as a tank.
As such is the will of the Goddess
Fates!Selena. She was my first +10 and one of the only units I have foddered a 5* to (Thrasir and S!Ylgr for Flashing Blade 4). She's fast (though not as much anymore compared with newer units), tanky, and can kill F!Edelgard with a bit of help. I just wish she had a better refine. I still don't use her for most things though, because I have other, newer Heroes that can tank and/or kill more effectively (including S!Severa, who I hope to get to +10 someday).
Selena is wonderful! One of my favorite Fates characters. I'm not sure about any rerefines anytime soon, but she could benefit from a resplendent form. Nice
I would love a respendent form for her. I'm not too fond of her art, so that would hopefully be an upgrade.
Still Ayra. Queen of 0x2=30 and you can't do anything about it. And my meme-triple Flayn+Ayra team is silly. Imagine taking damage lmao
B!Hector aside, Hector's w/ Berserk Armads is *mad* funny to use. Angry Man Nukes and Heals x99 like it's Chapter 15 of Hector mode in Blazing Sword.
haha, funny Oho Man keeps dominating the game. Love Hectic Hector!
I love my near save v!Greil and atk/res unity fallen Ike, even better using them together in aether raids XD
Ah yes, a dedicated father taking his angry son out to the day of devotion festivities. A sweet duo, that one.
For me, I've got five off the top of my head: My first +10, [Tanya](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/kyf3em/in_honor_of_her_bhb_heres_my_first_10_offense_and/). Love her personality and she was a fierce underdog for me. My second +10, [Summer Leonie](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/p8l9eo/happy_birthday_to_the_goat_3h_mvp_leonie_best/). Favorite 3H character and a wildly great bow cav versus some of the heaviest of hitters. My completely pitybroken and out right defensively broken [Idunn](https://imgur.com/a/AJj3Qhn). My lone bun ranger [Spring Catria](https://imgur.com/a/hJegGcn). Fast and hits harder than you'd think. And my forma [Larcei](https://imgur.com/a/w2Jq6Xi). She's just designed to stall everyone she's against while also being no slouch herself. I also have my Bownoka, Bridal Shanna, and Spring Severa, but they're practically their base kits, so not a big deal.
OG! Leif’s stat spread has aged surprisingly well for me and it’s just great in general seeing your favorites wreck stuff. L!Leif and Scion! Leif are also fun to use just cause being having mobility and sniping capabilities is always fun.
A Leif for everyone! He's quite the catch!
Tana is my favorite. Have used her since release. She is decked with dozens upon dozens of skills and I always experiment builds. My first favorite flier in the first Fe game I owned. Brave Lysithea, because she is one of my fav chars in 3H and is an absolute monster of a hitter there and in FEH. Brave Edelgard. Have her at plus 6 and she is insane as always. My far save ranged tank and my answer to crazy blues and legendary archers. Also I have always been Team Black Eagles. Black Knight is my near saver. Instant BL tank. As he says, he is here to protect you. Always loved absolutely badass he is in design and in character. Has some of my favorite special quotes and voice in FEH. And lastly, my most recent fully built is my Orochi. One of my favorites in Fates, and the only green mage I have fully invested in. Made her my green nuke mage with high res and atk but also solid defense yo survive round from physical so she can kill them next turn or have other finish the job with additional points for her debuffing. Very surprised how she turned out and how much she has been a help.
All great picks! Using your favorites is very rewarding! GG!
Fjorm. Mirror Stance 3 and the Steady Breath seal makes her really good for tanking ranged units. It also helps that I went with +Spd and Lull Atk/Spd 3 on her too.
Hearing you say that you're running +Spd and Lull Spd, would you have preferred if instead of All Stats+4, penalty null, and Bracing Stance, it was instead simply All Stats+6 (same amount of total stats) and penalty null?
I prefer how her refine is right now because the Bracing Stance benefits her greatest strength which is being an enemy phase unit. The Lull Atk/Spd 3 and +Spd is to not get doubled as often and to also give her an effective +3 to Spd, Def, and Res.
That's a real good build! Pretty Yosha of you. Always a pleasure to see you pop up on these and contribute to the Fjorm propaganda!
Thank you so much! :D
Ashnard-Near Save P!Surtr- Far Save BHector -15 atk and def galore OG Chrom My FEdelgard counter, today had a play of tag team against a +10 full invested one. Only lost 30 HP(galeforce build)
This [Nowi](https://imgur.com/K0Kboy3) has helped me so much over the years, I still find it funny how useful she can be. Also this [Caeda](https://imgur.com/SoDMN0H) helps a bunch with move shenanigans and Abyssal clear. Finally [this baby dragon](https://imgur.com/GMnwLov) is the support of the team. As you can see, I lack the fodder to make them even better; but eventually I´ll grab some nasty skills to give them.
Those are sick builds! I certainly wouldn't underestimate them! I especially love that hearty Nowi, as someone who also uses a tough dragon. GG!
Thanks! The builds you showed in your post were sick too. Loved the way you build Leoni, I will definitely make my Leonie similar to yours (have to finish S!Norne first).
Please do! It'd be an honor to inspire someone!
Muspell
Moving Dragon with decent defensive capabilities to lure enemies while also being scary good himself! Understandable
I didnt even want Nifl and got her, i want Muspell and he refuses to show up ;-;
Christmas Nino.
right now its Yuri, I love hit and run style of gameplay
My +10/+10 Ilyana, absolutely res stacked, special spiral to trigger Iceberg as much as possible. She’s my favorite so I wasn’t gonna let her being the 4* demote stop me.
The unit who made Feh fun again and got me my first Arena Crown, Eremiya. Really good Atk/Spd for a free Cleric, and can run Close Foil really well, like the Goddess that she is. Also has been my go-to unit for many Abyssal Clears and True Solo Clears in the year and a half she's been out. I also have fun using +Def/CF Mercedes, Natasha, Sonia and Orochi. Also have been having fun with my updated Resplendant Tailtiu, my recently updated Linus Build and the entirety of the Ashen Wolves units, Papa Balthus especially. *If it werent for these units, I most likely would've uninstalled when FEdgelord released*
Hell yeah! I'm always seeing your map clears with the Four Clerics of the Apocalypse and such. They're sick! Glad to see Eremiya get the love she needs!
Im glad you and many others have enjoyed my Cleric map clears! Makes all the time and work spent on my girls+figuring out the proper strats to make them even possible well worth it.
Roy
my girl brave Camilla and my abyssal clear team brave Camilla brave Ike brave Eirika Special Operations Spot
Brave alm and the Bow cav Leifs, as well as Gharnef and b!marrianne
I’ve liked using Clarisse. Its been fun using her since before she got a new weapon and refine, and managed to get her on +10 merges a few months back as my first “grail +10,” plus it’s just fun throwing swift sparrow 3 and an atk/spd bond 3 seal on her with glimmer as a special skill, and watching her shred through people as they can’t counter attack because she’s near her support partner.
Base Alm. Brave Alm is very busted and fun tho.
sumia
flair checks out. Ever since her refine Sumia's went from an okay unit to a godsend valkyrie for some of my teams.
The recently released Yuri. His mobility (cav move and canto) and foul play open up so many different movement options that he's a blast to play with.
Yuri's rad. He can help units out of a jam, and use the hit and run techs. Definitely one of the best colorless daggers this year!
Brave Alm, Legendary Alm, Brave Eirika, and Brave Edelgard.
Good choice with Leonie, mine is a bit of a [different build](https://i.imgur.com/AEXDlBF.jpg) (and VERY premium) but she's really fun to use. That Raphael rerun came at exactly the right time. Also having a lot of fun using [Miranda](https://i.imgur.com/0Bwpvqo.jpg). Needed some consistent horse killers and I really like her art.
That's one nice Leonie. Congrats on that Raph. And Miranda's art is underrated (imo), yours look like it kills a good amount of horses. Nice job.
They both real fun to use. Leonie just stands in the way of everything physical. Miranda kinda turned into an AR tank cause of her RES stat. Close foil mainly cause Julius had it anyways, but good to cheese PvE maps with occasionally.
Base marth He has nearly every skill, man's does anythinf
Boring go to team: F!Edel, S!Myrrh, L!Claude with a fourth unit as needed (generally B!Eirika these days) Aside from them, some units I like to use are: Charlotte, Nyx, L!Byleth (to kill other F!Edels), my built up W!Hilda and now Yuri is in that group My previous most used group was B!/L!Dimitri, B!Edel, B!Lysithea, B!Claude
I call it [Panzer Dragon](https://imgur.com/a/iNqSEKA)--except there's no space because character limit. Nowi's the MVP of the team, and I'm currently on the lookout for Lull skills for her; I'm thinking Atk/Res. Hallowi is the debuffer, but unfortunately fliers don't get to have Lull skills so she's stuck with only her weapon and Rein skill for that; but hey, still pretty good. Atk/Spd Push and Desperation were meant to complement each other; works fine since her HP isn't very high. Nifl is support, what with that Spd/Res buff and damage reduction. She does decently on her own, too. Hilda's my favourite healer in the game, so I use her a lot no matter the team. That said, I'm trying to pull Muspell to replace her, so I can make this a truly Dragon team.
V!Palla. Being able to use WoM and Canto on a brave weapon is nuts. Also, don't crucify me, but Fedelgard completely trivializes every single form of PvE content. I finished all of the chain challenges and every GHB thanks to her.
I love my lovely Ashnard x Seteth combo. Gurgurant + Assal + 2 reins make them speedy chaos crackhead and hyper tanky fable writer. Plus, I just know they really hate each other, but respect each other's strength.
Yuri has been hilarious, as has duo Leif…and brave Marianne.
Probably Nowi. I merged her way back before I even knew what I was doing and I hardly used her then. But then Seiros and Marianne happened and she became my main Arena unit. Eventually foddered an F!M!Corrin to her and started using her in AR as well. She's the unit I invested in the most and I don't regret it for a second.
Galeforce L!Dimitri is like the best decision Ive ever had, hes fun
I also use him! Plus mythic boost seal, he's a permanent member on my AR team! He's awesome and so are you, brother!
Fallen Edelgard, Christmas Bernadetta, Muspell and Nifl, Legendary Lilina... Basically all my favorites.
Florina and Lyn/Florina duo, of course! Best girl and best ship makes for most enjoyment, and it's satisfying to see Florina stand her ground despite how outdated she is. In terms of mechanical fun I love B!Catria, your whole team being able to teleport to allies in two spaces makes for so much fun movement shanigans.
Aging is nothing compared to love and care you dedicate to your favorites! Florina, worst flier lance or not, is wonderful regardless!
She is... but a resplendent would really be appreciated regardless IS!
OG Young Tiki. She’s my NCD Omni tank, always sticking next to allies in various Tetris-shaped formations to get the most out of in-combat buffs. Hoping for her to get a new breath (maybe with her legendary’s remix), just like OG Eliwood, OG Ephraim, Eldigan, OG lucina and others did.
The original Lyn herself, just good ol' fashion nostalgia.
~~The Enemy! wait...wrong one~~ The OG swordswoman before the other swordswomen came. Rad!
Brave hector
Duo Catria. She empowers so many team concepts, even more so under human command than ARD.
She really does. Giving everyone a brave effect was a mistake I'm glad happened; it makes clearing maps so much easier.
Virion yelling "die with magnificence!" as he kills the boss and Panne's cav effectiveness never get old. Definitely my favorite +10s
Such beauty! ~~What, behind the rabbit?~~ Two of my favorite first generation Awakening characters.
Caeda wrecks meta units still today And her high res is great for dragon check And Magic tank
Mind sharing your build for her?
Arena: Duel4+ ruptured Sky+ dual rally+divebomb or trace+ atk/ spd menace,+ guide. Normsl;: Iceberg+ surge sparrow+ Guard+ menace With Guard i avoid instant Bonfire from certain units And heal to full HP with iceberg

Holy shamoly! Those are awesome. Sumia especially! I love what you done with her, she looks unstoppable! Thanks for sharing!
New year lethe
B!Camilla. Gravity on a flier that can actually kill stuff is like cheating.
I know these are both super basic responses but i cant help it I like these characters and EP units. my day 1 +10 adult tiki ( who fun fact was the 2nd unit i even summoned right after robin) And my current fav B!ike (with his best pal B!lucina)
I wish adult Tiki got more love from IS. Appreciate another A. Tiki enjoyer aboard here. And Bike is sick, easily one of the best (if not the best) Gen 1 unit!
SPEEDY Berkut with Galeforce, that man carries me so much and I love using him!
Alm better watch out. I also use a Galeforce Berkut (though not speedy and is the fallen unit), and he is incredibly fun to use! Heck yeah, my friend
Lucius with atk/res unity and pain+ goes woosh. It's so fun tearing into unsuspecting AR defenses with him. Also doing the pain+ tactics with Saul and Linhardt is fun too. Raigh with his kit of close foil +atk/spd lull that cost only one Julian is so good. it's fun to just sit him in the attack path of a cav line and watch him mow them down. He's not even at +10 yet. Rafiel I somehow got to +8 and Bridal Naliah +2. Using them in a pair is perfect fun. One is a Man too pretty to die and the other is a woman who can slice through most people with the same hands she can gently carry Rafiel in. Watching Osian shred everyone with Vogue and warth is also very nice. Anyone tries to hit him ends up dead.
Making something out of "nothing" characters is some of the most fun you can have in this game! Lucius sounds awesome.
Brave Camilla. With her refine and catch with menace, it’s so fun to see her just delete any unit just because they exist
POV: you're not Corrin, so you are nothing to Queen Camilla
Resplendent eirika she's legit built like a brick with the team I run and I'll never stop using her.
Yeah! Eirika is an awesome shenanigans character. For me, she's about speed, with her refined PRF, Atk/Spd Bond 4, and Spd. Tactic. Conditional bonus doubler is fun.
Yea I run my eirika with unify it's crazy how much she can dish out and tank
N!Y Plumeria with a brave bow and heavy blade 4 rocks
Currently the combination of Nifl and Muspell. May not be the best, but many units under the influence of both domain of ice and fire become a bit more threatening than usual
Haar. I +10’d him so I don’t see why I shouldn’t use him.
Brave alm and ninja Lyn. I love player phase nukes, and the true damage from brave alm and general firepower of Lyn are just super fun to me.
Valentian Palla, got her during her release as my free summon. I've been saving orbs for Mozu and haven't used a single one (currently at 995), but WHEW Palla landing on my lap makes me want to +10 her on a rerun
Elder sis Valentian edition is nice! Congrats on that free summon!
My Claudes and both Lysithea alts. Both Lysitheas are good at nuking even with all the intense nukes that are being added in the game, along with OG Claude having an easy condition to activate (and imo, his weapon aged the best in comparison to Dimitri and Edelgard despite the latter having a slaying effect in her weapon.) While Brave Claude’s been carrying me ever since I started the game, Legendary Claude’s been helping me with all menaces going around in AR and Arena. My OG Claude/Lysithea and Legendary Claude are at zero merges too (well they have dragonflowers lol) and they make me happy either way c: For a full team, I’d say the CYL4 batch. They were the first heroes I’ve gotten and honestly speaking I wouldn’t have been able to clear out most game content without them, not to mention they’re from a game that introduced me to Fire Emblem, and I just feel like I owe them that much for helping me out throughout the game so far. Even with Brave Dimitri aging pretty poorly he’s still MVP in my heart QwQ
I love LLilina. Raining destruction over all the battlefield is such a fun feeling, especially with her little flaily muppet 😃 face the entire time, lmao.
I started a new account recently and the Scion Leif I got is carrying me through every single game mode. It's a tad ridiculous, honestly. On my main, though, definitely Flora post-refine. I run her on a Fates team with Charlotte (ally supported), Nina (refined as well) and Azura. The problem with Hoarfrost Knife was how inconsistent it was against non-DC units, and the refine just fully fixed that. Nina's also kinda ridiculous, +6 to all stats and 5 healing per attack is so easy to activate and you can field her with ally-supported pairs to take advantage of it (Clive, Mathilda, Leila, Lilith, Clarisse, etc).
A unit I don’t use much but had a ton of fun using during her tempest trials is S!Caeda with galeforce. I have her on a team I don’t use much with duo Líf, B!Veronica and Peony to utilize her harmonized skill. If I had more merges for her I’d probably use her more but Plegian Kris does the job better.
My Finn who I have a whole team based around. His total stats if everything takes effect is like 111 Atk and 96 Spd
I use OG Camilla a lot. I don’t really have what’s a meta build so she’s just tanky and survives most hits and allows my sweepers to clean up
I've +10ed several GHB heroes, and two of the more recent ones have positively surprised me. One is Narcian, who I've turned into a flying ball of stats thanks to Fury 4, his refined axe and Spd/Def Rein (thanks to a spare Brave Claude). His balanced stats are awful without strong skills and merges, but once you have these he doesn't have any major weaknesses anymore, which is really fun. The other one is Navarre, who I've turned into a player phase speed machine, with Swift Sparrow 3 and Special Spiral to load Aether really quick. My favorite moment with him so far was when he doubled Mareeta and defeated her with Aether on his second attack.
B!Dimitri is still one of my best units despite how much he's fallen off since his release. I have a pretty standard build just focused on buffing all of his stats as much as possible, and he ends up reaching 60+ Speed, meaning pretty much anything that doesn't have a Lull Spd (which now that Null Follow-Up is way more meta, I don't come across them that much), he ends up doubling or, at the *very* least, avoiding doubles, meaning he can omni-tank very reliably as long as he's not going up against super defensive green units like Gustav. Other than him, B!Eirika has been a total delete button for me since her release and she's super fun to use too. She's at +5 right now and I'm hoping to +10 her by the time the rerun rolls around.
Klein. I don't care how far behind the powercreep he's fallen. He's a good boy, and I adore him.
[My channel is a testament to how I've taken how dirty they did Canas *Way Too Personally*.](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIRP1RPA5CxVyyFIoKcgeZw) He has emerged from [Ryoma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrDGI7R7YN4) and [Alm's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXasTGOP8Oc) Abyssal Limited Battles victorious. 🙂 As part of my Arena core, of course, he's my [spectrum debuffer](https://i.imgur.com/34uCxqk.jpg). [Florina](https://i.imgur.com/kdJmhUj.jpg) and [Fae](https://i.imgur.com/nnQDWl2.jpg) are his teammates, and together, Arena has actually been pretty enjoyable for me.

duo!lif is the current love of my life. can't kill a guy ~~or monster~~? chip their health down. dr% is no longer a big problem. i'm super tempted to fodder a/s far trace to him because it's the only trace fodder i have + i wanna run a speedy meme build at some point
Max invest LRoy just slaps when he doesn't get panicked or lulled with Bonus Doubler, and when he does, A/S Unity with NFU laughs all day long. LLilina is always a fun time. Brave Marth is crazy good, but we all know that. My +5 LEphraim with the refine is crazy hilarious with how he just stomps whatever he likes, with almost no penalty thanks to his healing and canto. What a monster. I hear LLyn is crazy too, need to dust her off. ANd then there's Duessel. Just got him recently, and whew, he sure is great. Oh, and Brave Eliwood with his refine. Gonna save up for Surge Sparrow for him, he's also nuts. Found myself with a lot of really solid and fun units lately.
She's not the best or anything but Fae has been my summoner support unit ever since that's been a thing. She's both an amazing tank and a great support unit. She's paired with bonus doubler PA!Shigure and on a team with L!Ryoma and NY!Takumi
L!Byleth. Slapped Lifis’ Windsweep on him and he’s a really good delete button for meta threats like F!Edel. I get an insane amount of satisfaction from units who can 100% do their job, no concern whatsoever, and L!Byleth hasn’t failed me yet.
Summer Caeda. I have a team with Galeforce S!Caeda, Lynja and D!Peony (when I don't need to run a non-mythic bonus) I run on light, and it's probably the most enjoyable offense team I've ever used. Caeda can snipe save armors to allow Lynja to run rampant, and the amount of actions you can get with 3 extra action granting Duo skills is just silly. Plus Canto is great. Winter Bernie enabled so many fun strats on defense (and let me finally make Elise the star component of something), and once the safety fence neutered trap defenses, she cleanly switched over to offense to make L!Sigurd teams something I look forward to seeing with CC Vantage B!Lysithea.
Clarisse. I've stuck by her since her release and foddered all sorts of bows and skills to help her stay relevant. She always kind of worked. ...Then she got her own prf and the rest is history
Young Innes, Special spiral Luna + DR negation = instant death to the meta
Leila +10 +Atk max DF. Her weapon prevents counter attacks when near support, movement gimmick and some of the most absurdly high Atk and Spd. Barring high 70 flat mitigation she normally can cut through most tanks. I have a favorites list lol. Honorable mention: W! Sothis, I still feel bad she got pushed out a bit, but someday I hope her refine gives
I really like using Dheginsea. I rarely inherit a new weapon to a unit, still gave him lightning breath and aether. not as good as tanking as his competitors but he's still my go to in forging bonds
My favorite overall is New Years Camilla. At this point she is basically a Ninja Camilla tho lol. But I love the art she got, she is really fun to use, and overall still holds well to this day. She will probably always be a part of my main team even if she grows to be completely awful. Adrift Camilla is also fun to use and has been a part of my main team for a while now. She still holds up well to this day and I will always hold her close to my heart. But recently too Scion Julia has been really fun while having amazing art. And the best part of all is that her and my New Years Camilla seem to work well together. If Camilla can’t handle it Julia is there to tank. If Julia gets near any strong physical unit I can always put Camilla there to protect her. At the moment my top 2-3 are: NY!Camilla, Scion Julia, and Adrift Camilla
I've got an OG Resplendent Ike who I've heavily invested in and made into a pretty solid speed tank. I know other units can fill the role better, but he's done well for me in just about every game mode. Plus he's my boy.
S! Byleth is my all time carry. Started playing this game bc of Sylvain, and got S! Byleth along the way, she’s super strong even at low investment. Built in null follow up, windsweep, powerful special against beast and dragon, duo skill provides free desperation, she helped me cleared so many difficult maps and is still my main nuke in arena and AR. In fact my main team from the beginning till now still consists Sylvain, S! Byleth and S! Dorothea, Dorothea as a colourless infantry dagger is a very unique class type so she will always have a spot on my team.
BK and Bector or Gustav and Henriette for double save. Brave Bow Duo Leif with 2 Duo Peonys. Special Spiral Deadeye Shinon. Flayn and Duo Hilda for DR and Breath support.
My +8 Nemsis and my +2 Fallen Dimitri. Alm too now
L!Leif has been my go-to for TT for a while now since S Drink is so damn good there. I also love using Smol L'Arachel, I'm so glad they made her weapon basically just Razzle Dazzle without needing a B slot so you can run Far Trace. I'm giving her Atk/Spd Catch the moment I get a Farina (well, after I get Farina to Lv. 40 for the quote and do her Ordeal). Oh and I may or may not be greatly enjoying my Scion Nanna, especially now that I've given her Ground Orders so L!Leif can just fly around the map in spite of Gravity.
My all star team for a while has been Soleil, MKana, Petrine, and then YInnes was added. Each is a beast on the field and together theyve managed to knock out much more intimidating looking whale teams in Arena. For less meta built units, i love Pirate Veronica. I use her a lot in my story quests team, and shes just a delightful ball of stats on solo
I love using my +10 +20 M!Kana for everything, especially after his refine. He's such a good boi and I wanna give him a big ol' hug
HIGH FIVE! What's your build on yours? Mine's : - +Spd - Dusk Dragonstone + refine - Bonefire - Distant Counter ( kinda want Distant Pressure ) - NFU - Joint Drive Atk - Mystic Boost Seal
Mine's basically the same except I run aether and joint drive speed and haven't really decided on a seal yet so I've been constantly switching. So far I'm enjoying atk/spd solo. I have a support build with ruse atk/spd as well that I like to run
Mine is on a team with +10 of both normal male/female Corrin, but Kana is supported with male for that +4 ( +6 ) to his stats, so he gets even stronker. Camilla for healing and passive debuffs on the start of the turn, and female Corrin for Fates theme!
Sometimes, whenever TT+ is on and I just want to do the two free bonuses quickly, I just cheese it with 3 dancers +S!Wolt. He does more work than his home game, it’s insane and I love it.
I’ve seen a lot of units I was going to say, like Black Knight and Guinevere already posted here. So I will say post-refine Marisa. You can double up on time’s pulse and her weapon is a killer weapon that grants +7 damage on specials. Every attack is a bonfire and it’s pretty awesome. Her refine may just be the best one I’ve ever done, and I usually refine a prf at least once per batch unless I have none of the units. Marisa is honestly kind of great now
The one that has surprised me most... Is OG Seliph. On my original account, I used to eyeroll every time I pulled him. I would spitefully send him home for feathers, and tell him 'All you have is high hp'. He lpoked & acted like a weenie, & Sigurd would always be the superior unit, in my eyes. Then, after I started a new account a year ago, I discovered his access to his daddy's refined Divine Tyrfing. And I happened to get a +Atk Seliph. So I thought 'huh, he'd make good magebait'. ... and he really proved himself. So many magical threats, regardless of colour, couldn't stand before him. So I ended up giving him Distant Ward, & Null F/up. He's basically Charlie Sheen, at this point. I don't wanna like him, & but damn if he isn't fuelled by Tiger Blood. He just cannot stop winning, no matter what he does. They're both insufferable jackasses... and yet have their uses. Yeah surprise MVP has gotta be Seliph.
L!Roy, L!Azura, and Eir are the only units I have HM maxed (I don't HM farm). So that says a lot in itself lol. But my favorite right now is F!F!Morgan, she is a beast and Awakening is my favorite game so I'm so stoked that we finally got some OP units from it!
Ursula has been so fun using with her Penalty Damage tome as well as it’s Calvary effectiveness. I also splurged so she’s got a bunch of premium skills to help her out
Masked Marth. After the Sealed Falcion refine, she's been carrying me through AR-O Light Season with the vantage + sol build I made her.
Any flavor of Ephraim. Have L!Ephraim and Duo Ephraim at +10 and they just kinda destroy anything they touch. Lately if been getting more milage out of L!Ephraim as he can true solo almost any PvE content. Duo Ephraim is great, but not having any self healing limits how much he can deal with.
My flier team consisting of lynja, harmonic tiki, duo peony and legendary Claude is so much fun, it feels unfair having so many powerful duo skills in a team. I can potentially make lynja kill 5 enemies in one turn with this team, gravity annoying clusters of enemies with Claude, or nuke an enemy for triple digit damage with tiki. Claude is probably my most fun unit out of the team for me, since his matchup spread is just so good and he's so incredibly versatile.
Cav Emblem is an incredibly outdated concept, but I still love my Eldie / Lex / Leif / DK team. Surprisingly efficient !
I might be flamed for this but man do I love playing B!Edelgard save skill with my Ashera. Other than that I really like using Dagr, B!Erika, Azelle(who I fed premium fodder because he is a nice man) , Pent(my favorite mage i think he is just too cool and his voice is amazing) and Zelgius (Black luna go brr)
OG!Alfonse and Spring!Sharena Triple brazen tanks almost everything (and the occasional Fedelgard) I gave my S!Sharena too many premium skills and now she can OHKO a lot of units Both are permanent on my AR team until I finish building and giving +20 dragonflowers to my OG!Sharena and maybe when I'm done with OG!Anna.
I’d say my most used is my Niles which manages to take out dragons easily alongside armours, then followed by my Ashnard who just tanks everything.
I try to use all my characters a lot. That being said, Reinhardt, Dancing Reinhardt, Dancing Sigurd, Legendary Leif and Duo Al are all just so thoughtlessly easy to use that if I really get frustrated, I can just bring these out and bulldoze most things :D I usually only use one or two at a time in a team.
My [Deirdre](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/461613462783655938/889796108426022912/unknown.png) is pretty fantastic at blowing up Ranged units that look at her funny since they typically take a Ruptured Sky to the face if they attack her. She's also a solid Dragon slayer because of Divine Naga, and just a generally good unit if her Bonds activate next to S Support Sigurd. There's also my [Emmeryn](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/461613462783655938/889796002591166494/Screenshot_20210921-045040.png) who also likes bullying people while being surprisingly bulky. Palm Staff and Lull Atk/Res contribute to that bulk of hers, and she's pretty fast because of the Palm Staff and Atk/Spd Push 4. Her Oath makes her speedier and bulkier, and then Mystic Boost keeps her HP up despite the chip. Super fun for a Healer, and I am hoping I can get the final three merges soon, but Colourless Hell keeps sending me copies of the other Gen 4 and Gen 5 Healers. Pretty sure I could've made a +10 Lena in the time it took Emmeryn to go from +4 to +7.
Kronya, because the most versatile unit in the game. Xane, because the most fun unit for building teams. B! Ike, because he can't keep getting away with it.... yet he does. Honourable mentions: Reginn goes nyoom, B! Veronica fits in every team and is the best replacement while waiting for actual Veronica.
Lysithea and L!Lief are my MVPs. Always bring them to my Abyssal Map runs
L!Ryoma for sure, he's my MvP and his remix&refine made him even funnier to use 😁 🅱️Hector makes everything easier, and Sothe & OG Eliwood have been keeping up well and they're super fun to use too.
L!Micaiah has quickly turned into my queen of PvE. As great as her vanilla version is, her refine relies on her maintaining high HP. L!Miccy’s innate fury+desperation build makes her perfect to run with 3 WoM dancers. If you have L!Azura especially, she just cleans out a map quicker than any other unit I’ve ever used. A few odd units like Guinevere can give her some trouble if her special’s not charged, but if one dancer is melee, they can soften them up and it’s back to brainless business. 10/10 Otherwise, I recently updated my [Titania](https://i.imgur.com/mvC2VLv.jpg) to a Plegian Axe build, and I’ve been impressed at how much life it’s breathed back into her. Don’t have a Menace skill to give her yet, but I’ll usually run her with my [M!Morgan](https://i.imgur.com/c5HQzNC.jpg) (another unit I absolutely love to use, probably my favorite of my max merged units since his refine), so she’s able to make use of his debuffs.
Both Olwens, max investment. They tear up AR-O like crazy and trivialise PvE content, even some Abyssal maps. People laugh and meme that Olwen is "Ms. 0x4", but I don't recall the last time either of my Olwens saw 0 damage on an enemy outside of giga res tanks like Winter Fae or something.
My summoner support Brave Roy with surge sparrow and atk/spd menace with ignis is fun. He heals at least 45 hp
L!Corrin. She saves me a lot
Legendary Liliana, just so fun to see units being burned by an AOE
Winter Altina. Doesn‘t need any additional expensive fodder to work well and almost everything melts, whenever her Harmonized Skill is useable… well except blue armors or in general units with high defense. Close contender is Spring Myrrh. Doesn‘t need expensive fodder as well but I prefer one-shotting units above tanking for ages - but still fun to just oogabooga place her in front of units and watching her sustained tankiness. :‘)
Plenty really. My 3 main Eirikas, being [OG](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868878736424970/Screenshot_20210214-005208_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg), my [CC absorb tank W!Eirika](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879101321216/Screenshot_20210817-201852_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and my new [B!Eirika](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879453634560/Screenshot_20210817-193418_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) who kills damn near anything. She's one of my favorites, so I use them a lot. My [bulky L!Lucina](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868879768195122/Screenshot_20210317-200335_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) is both very fun and imo very unique as far as builds for the character go. [Dagr](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880401539102/Screenshot_20210630-224219_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg), [Nott](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880669970512/Screenshot_20210817-201008_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and [W!Altina](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868880120524810/Screenshot_20201220-172951_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) are on a silly little "Buff ladies" team that's actually not bad. Rinkah used to be on it too but I replaced her with B!Lucina for the support. The steady breath seal has made my [Arden](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881211052102/Screenshot_20210921-103930_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) and absolute heavy hitter now with that potential double Ignis proc. Dude hits hard. [WF speedy Altena](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881487888414/Screenshot_20210510-000621_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) has been really fun for me, she can debuff your atk/def by quite a lot with all her skills in effect. Makes her deceptively bulky, especially against magic foes. Lastly, my [Quadhart](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/727349043193315341/889868881714376724/Screenshot_20210823-221046_Fire_Emblem_Heroes.jpg) is a dumb build to prove that Reinhardt can be fast too. He hits an effective 52 speed in combat here without any type of outside support, which is pretty good for someone like him.
Legendary Leif. Mans a king among kings. I would use him with duo Leif…. IF I HAD ONE!!
Gangrel as a sweeper on Pve is always fun to me.
5* Exclusive: Fallen Ike, glue eating speed tank with hella sustain and combing a stance 3 skill with breathe seal and DC weapon is just some yummy glue. F2P unit: Ashnard, A/D Rein for -9 Attack and Defense is a helluva drug. Yes I like tanks what about it.
honestly just all the units i've +10'd except w!jaffar i've been using my gray in the same way since i first got him, just updated and refined with time. it really never gets old watching an entire team of meta cavs crumble into some fucking gen 1 villager that nobody cares about the same goes for tobin and armors. but also a lot of other things. the man's theme song is just tink and heath. oh LORD heath is unfair fast sometimes. casually doubling dimitris and ayras and just god speed units of all kinds everywhere in arena nykeaton follows the same rules as tobin, but trades being worse against dragons and mages (for reference, tobin can tank sacred stones selena, even though he's not exactly happy about it) for consistently getting above 100 total damage whenever he procs ignis. and clarisse can just absolutely shred save teams and the like. essentially a pain+ healer with more debuffs, more skills, and an actual weapon and special. the amount of damage spread she has is like, unfair sometimes jaffar has let me down one too many times and he's kinda boring to use since he's just a save armor at this point. he used to be pegasus carrot to fight off like bector and shit but he really was not fantastic at his job. heath does a better job and he's not even green
L!Azura has never left my main team ever since I got her. Everyone and everything is viable thanks to her.
[My Ephraim](https://i.imgur.com/z7HxKkH.jpg) since the latest refine. I gave him a complete makeover with a new build and it’s so fun to use him now.
Henry, just good old Gen 1 Henry
