Pekomama & Eikthyrdeer BOMBARDED the Meta! AR-D is Good Again! [Fire Emblem Heroes] 

I was very confused by the thumbnail for an sec 🤣

This is the first season I've ever won every single game on defense including games that didnt matter. Thanks Celica and Pekomama.

my deer friend Eikthyrnir

Ok but what's hilarious is how evil and funny it is that Nergal and a child is able to steal heidrun divine nectar status and uno reverse it on her. 🤓☝️

Joel didn’t post meta report yet so Tacho the chad decided he was the man for the job 😂

I dropped to tier 21 during Heidrun season, and one team I was facing had an unoptimized defense that was not blessed properly with a base Heidrun and base E!Ike. I just ran bolt tower and no bonus structure, and I tried using a galeforce team with AoE Brave Gullveig as the initiator thinking I can bolt tower and AoE down the team since the team had nothing to stop bolt tower. Turn 3 happens, Heidrun and E!Ike gets hit with bolt tower down to 1 HP. Tried initiating on Ike and Ike still lives in the combat forecast with me losing Gullveig. Had to use a ladder since I goofed lol. I remember when Dark was the problem with Embla and Anima was free wins. Not anymore. Anima is more annoying now.

Its been a while since i had a near flawless defense. Freyr got most of the surrenders, all thanks to Mother Goat. My personal favorite was against a Emblem Ike with Valentine Ephriam support. Mother Goat with -Attack still nearly beat him in 2 combats, but the chain of movement shenangins (Freyr Swap, Citrinne Draw Back Mirabilis, finally Embla Rally on Duo Robin to take advantage of Guidance 4 and snipe the Ike.) Also, RIP to the one summoner who thought Nergal could tank Gullveig with Celica Ring. 🐀

Eikthynir allowed my X!Caeda to take the role of Omnitank for the week for me, and man, what a blast. Omni +9, 36 flat damage reduction against cavs and armors, 18 flat damage against infantry and flyers, all that with NCD Echo and Gust. With Veyle support too, Every single E!Ike that I saw became a ragdoll in her hands. With F!Lumera, poor Nabata Igrenes did 9 damage on Blazing Wind. Consistent +50 on all stats. Yeah, this was a good week.

For a sec I thought it was a pekomama plays palworld clip lmao

I was looking at my defense matches and, I think what catches a lot of players with my "Peko mama" is I put glacies on her and it's been ORKO a lot of units. Saw one with someone using a +2 "Deer Dude" and with a bit of support she one shot him. Also with my "Deer Dude" on defense I have him supported with B!Soren made him a crazy savior.

AR is as cancerous as ever. It's the first time since the vault was introduced that I used up all my ladders during a season. I try to save my orbs for favorites so the last meta banner I rolled on was basically the winter banner and lately it has become pretty impossible to compete in this game. I keep running into Micaiahs, Celicas and Ikes warping all over the map and I simply can't do anything about it. Arena is even worse honestly since everyone and their mom equips their most cancerous nuke with the celica ring.

I was like who

Perfectly balanced units as usual.

Pekomama basically is a floating double dance unit, since smite/reposition would operate for a free move for a target ally while simotaniously giving that support ally an extra move. It's really useful. As for defense, yes absolutely. B!Alfonse with 1 +def blessing unit already cleans maps because he's so ridiculously bulky. Making dedicated blessing squad he's a surprisingly great option for defense too.

Made a new defense this week myself, it really hammered tanking strats hard, but it is still weak to hit and run and giga-whale teams, so theres a few things i need to switch around. It has provided some really nice replay wins though and its funny to watch slow units like nergal, goat lady etc naturally double speedy units, ignoring NFU, then watch as the support hrid in the back corner runs across the entire map thanks to goat ladys refresh to snipe a support unit in the diagonally opposite corner as well.

Was wondering from the first second I saw this defense if people would utilize the blind spot. My first instinct was also to just plop Eirika there, have her take care of Robin and Micaiah and then use Eik or Myrrh to take care of the rest. It's a strong defense but it feels a bit too honest almost. Especially since people will be vigilant about extra actions from rallys/move assists because of Robin to the point they get paranoid. Heidrun alone surprises a lot of players with that effect I find.

You probably want swap on most of your units, that seems to be the most consistent way of getting value from the extra action

Had a perfect week on defense with her at +0. I don't have +10 offense mythics so got top 300 instead of top 1. Defense is back. Now give us a busted dark mythic IS. Also had a TACHO in my replays though it may have been a fan. (It was the Winter Chicken team)

so i got lucky enough to pull heidrun before spark but I'm wondering if the +1 is worth pulling or if I should just pick up my 1st A!Azura. IIRC defense mythic merges aren't as valuable but I'm still curious

I run a defense that looks like a hybrid stall team (especially for turn 1) but then becomes a hyper offense team from turn 2 onwards. I think I had 2 losses this past week only one of them was for Lift. I also run pekomama, but with Laguz Friend 4.

Pulled her after 3 AR-D replays, added her to my Celica/Nergal Line defense. Only got Tier 37 this week, but i had many surrenders before a match and upon seeing my threat range. 🤕

I'm gonna need to watch a tuto one day on how to create teams and maps in AR because I've been playing since the beginning and can't even reach tier 29 lmaoo I feel so dumb

Most of this week i got heithrun to 1 hp from AoE edelgard. Turn 1 initiation, and usually get 5-6 of the units get her on the next turn. Gerik or reginn could tank a hit from heithrun AoE infantry edelgard is still very consistent with initiating. Ploy and sabotage supports go a long way for her

Hey Tacho can we talk about how potent Mythic (and evil) Veyle is in this current Meta? She isn’t talked about enough. Scowl is a premium support effect rn, and she’s blue and has ohko potential on Emblem Ike of all things…

How did you get BoL4 on all meta units? We haven't gotten a rerun for Edward since his debut

Dicine nectar is a bit overtuned 5 flat DR would be enough but I can still galeforce easily most of the times so its okay

She is definitely a "broken" tank in my book especially in Summoner duels, players just straight up surrender well except if they have Emblem Ike.....

I got goat momma but still didnt use her this season because Im really happy with my current defense. Got 0 lift loss while using unmerged Mirabilis and Formo-titties.
