Here are some matches from me.

FFT Arena 1.38D - Barren (Axe In The Face!) vs. Vigilanti (Back on Status)

FFT Arena 1.38D - Reinoe (Livestream) vs. Reks (Severe Weather Alert)

[Barren]

Guess you're going to have to have me face a different opponent CT5Holy, TrueLight beat you to the punch

[Reks]

I've got a new team based on Nanten Thieves from before, and some other ideas pulled from here and there. You're free to use it, and I do indeed request a match or two with them.

Thanks ct5holy! Your in depth analysis is always appreciated, we clearly could use some pointers. Sorry for the improper format, this tablet makes mundane tasks like copy/pasting a team a pain in the ass, but I figured it wouldn't be so bad since fenire and I posted next to each other. GG fenire, I look forward to our next one.

what odd behaviour from my summoner. Against SWA, she spammed salamander, guess it's due to the high faith values. I kind of want to scrap her and duplicate my white magic oracle (as per original concept) one has protect, the other has shell and they each have seteimson and cherche respectively. The muramasa samurai will lose kiyomori and gain revive+stigma magic, thus rounding off my weaknesses and ensuring he does his job without distraction.Zero's behaviour is nearly perfect. I may trade a draw out for a black magic spell (poison comes to mind) but other than that she does great damage and loves to use frog on faithed enemies (I didn't  use poison so as not to disturb her chances of using frog) I'm hoping the duplicate oracle with magic defense will dampen my team's clear weakness to magic. And not just any magic, backfires from my team are fatal. I may not be able to make them absorb everything, but I might be able to give them enough resist.

After my next tweak, we'll have something that better resembles a finished project. Thank you malroth, barren, ct5holy and reinoe for your continued support.

Thanks for the matches TrueLight!!!

spoiler: barren vs vigilanti

That was a great set of rounds.  I wasn't sure who was going to win but I'm glad that vigilanti was able to improve Back On Status and make it a winning team.

spoiler: my match

I'm sorry everyone for my embarrassing showing.  People expect good matches and that was a one sided curb-stomp.  Granted it's a defensive team that's supposed to be able to avoid attack and 3/4 of Reks' units had unavoidable damage that's no excuse.  A while ago Malroth said that those Squires should have unyielding so that's what I've done.  Too bad it's after the fact at this point.  I've also given them White Robe for protection.

gg Reks!

I don't know how much it matters to you, but while singing your bards won't be able to use evasion.  If found out the hard way during a CT5HOLY recording of one of my teams.  I noticed they're using Abandon for their reaction skill so I figured I'd mention it.

FFT Arena 1.38D - Reinoe (House of Dead Ninjas) vs. Otabo (Divas That Bring Double Trouble)

Thanks again T.L.!

Thanks Flash hat and 40 faith.  You really protected my units from Slow 2!  Two thumbs up on that weapon break on the summoner.  Because when I gave you weapon break and your teammates counter, I was thinking about minimizing spellcasting.

A.I., u r smartz

Woah, I wasn't expecting to crush Fenire that harshly.

[Elmdork]

Wow, great job barren! I finished the remodeling, they should be even harder to kill. Gg darkxfatal!

[DomieV]

spoiler: me vs LightningHax

Thanks for the match CT5Holy. I guess my archer was a bit more effective than I thought. Thief was very good. My Ninjitsu Samurai...yea I see why Kageousi isn't good with two hands :( And I will take your advice on the priest. I'll switch her. GG LightningHax, great match!

[Barren]

spoiler: me vs ct5Holy

I knew I wasn't 100% sure and now I know why lol. But yea there was some things I need to adjust to make it function a bit better, but otherwise I liked its potential

[Barren]

Everyone, I would need to take another week off not only for finals, but sad news there's been a death in the family for me and right now I am shaken up. I just found out that my aunt passed away and I don't want to do commentary in the emotional state I am in.

Nobody would expect you to, Barren. That's far more important than Arena is.

If it's anything to you, I'm sorry for what you lost.

[Zotis]

Wow, that DomieV vs LightningHax match was quite entertaining and surprising.

Sorry to hear about your aunt Barren.

[TrueLight]

Sorry about the news, Barren. Hope you and your family can get through this together.

I'm ok with these results.  The RNG was bending over backwards helping me get far in the Season 2 Arena Tourney.  It's only natural that balance be restored.
