Yunaka BASIC UNIT GUIDE! Maddening 

I never found this to be a problem and always used Yunaka as an aggro drawing avoid tank. Her damage doesn't necessarily matter, just the amount of enemies she can draw in and not get hit by. The only way to bypass this strategy was when there were enemy Mysticals that would go through the Avoid, but that's why I think Yunaka is better. Zelkov has almost no Res growths whereas Yunaka has excellent Res growth. She's not getting hit by physical attacks because of her Avoid, and she can tank magic because of her Res. Singlehandedly that makes her better than Zelkov in my opinion simply because I see her as more of a tank and not a DPS.

@@judgmntready1028 A valid point I hadn't really considered. I don't use this strategy myself, as Corrin's Vein of Fire on Alear is more than capable of blocking off opponents in a similar manner, and at range, while still being able to set up fog to support covert units if the situation is called for. Or ice, or healing. Also, invincible dodge tanking just isn't my style. But in this particular context, you're right. That would give Yunaka a slight edge over Zelkov.

Anna in shambles, how will she ever recover?

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 anna is still better because leif has 1 quadruple hit per engage anna can easily make 2-3k more than him if you have her luck up. I would rather rely upon the ability that is RNG available all day than RNG 1 time per engage. I think it stacks with anna's passive tho so I bet Anna could be thief + have Tiki and Byleth stats slotted and she could be even more fun to farm gold with lol.

Kay but let me cook: anna on covert

@@RaidenKaiser why not have both

@@stonalisa3729 I mean true but you were saying anna is in shambles lol and thats just not true.

I have seen others make the same mistake this is 100% an issue for some.

micaiah is also on her at start, and ch6 is reference to when micaiah and Sothe were separated from the group in her game

To be fair that engrave can work for many units but it absolutely helps her out. I ran beginnings on her prior

Also, it’s important to Dance for her after setting up the Fog so that she can attack. You never know if an enemy will Aggro towards another character that isn’t Yunaka. Due to the the Dragon Classes having access to All Dragon Veins, I prefer using Corrin on Alear and Veyle (and have Yunaka next to them so that she can attack.)

@@TheJaredPunch On the flip side of this, I've found that Maddening AI has somewhat of an obsession with chain attacks and can't "see" Corrin's Pair Up skill negating them. This means that enemy Backup units will trick other foes to attack your dodge tank even at 0% hit chance.

Also corrin's fog stacks with terrain, so if you want her to avoid tank dont stand in terrain+fog as it'll give 120 bonus avoid (that said, if she's near death and alone, maybe not a bad idea!)

Yonaka is my S rank as well. A man of culture

you can also add in another high avoid unit and form a 3 man wall that i've used to great effect in many paralogues. main issue was only sages that ignore avoid bonuses from terrain. but even still, they still won't be able to hit that easily and sages are easy to snipe or prepare for.

The only reason i could see for not mentioning dawn engraving is that dawn engraving in avoid terrain give 0% hit chance to alot of enemies which cause them to not attack her at all, at least on maddening.

​​@@XenithShadow yeah, imo dawn is better on a non-covert avoid tank. On my first hard playthroug I made Anna a monster avoid tank with mega magic stats, using her natural stats + dawn + terrain giving her well over 100 avoid (and on hard difficulty enemies will attack whether they can hit or not). I think alear or another high speed unit is a good option for it

Also regarding her magic growth, why put her as mage when you can just give her a radiant bow?

I'd keep Corrin on Alear. Vein of Fire, Ice, Succor are all incredible. And if you still want Yunaka's dodge tanking, you can put Alear next to Yunaka, and then use Vein of Fog. This puts Yunaka at the edge of the fog, making it easier for enemies to reach her and giving her more opportunity to hit back. She also gets +3 damage from Divinely inspiring. While Alear won't be quite as evasive as Yunaka, they will still give each o ther support bonuses for adjacency, so Alear should be getting 30 from fog, as well as 5 or 10 from support (20 if S ranked.) If you'd prefer to keep Alear further from combat, you could place her diagonally to Yunaka, although you lose the divinely inspiring and support bonus, it will prevent ranged units from standing in front of Yunaka and wasting a turn attacking Alear. The big benefits to this method are that it allows the use of other dragon veins, and it allows Yunaka to get the fog benefit, in addition to equipping another Emblem. You can also dance Alear after this setup, and then have him set up a Vein of Fire elsewhere on the map, so Yunaka can dodge tank one front, and Vein of Fire will stop enemies dead in their tracks on another. You may be able to see how this would be useful in maps like Ike's paralogue where you're being attacked from 3 sides for example.

Wouldn’t it be better to dance a higher dps character than a thief? Like my alcryst with killerbow can almost always proc crit + luna, or my anna can usually ohko most units with a engraved thoron, and panette just decimates enemies both in player phase and enemy phase, meanwhile my yunaka just tickles enemies funny bones with a +4 silver dagger on madenning.

​@@kiretan8599 Kind of funny using the term "dps" for a turn based game. Terminology aside though, best case scenario: dancing a dps unit allows you to remove 1 additional enemy from the battle. Definitely useful, and definitely the best option available sometimes. But I've found there are frequently better options available. Yunaka is in this scenario, paired with Corrin. If she engages, she can freeze up to 5 enemies in place with a normal attack, or 10 with her engage attack, neutralizing a massive threat, and making them easy to pick off safely for her allies. Granted, that's an ideal scenario, but immobilizing 3 with a normal is frequently available. Or dancing, you can make it 5-6. For up to 3 turns in a row if needed. Funnily enough, this tactic is actually at odds with the fog evasion build. If you've just immobilized that many foes, you don't actually need to be hiding in the fog. Although she still needs the fog while not engaged, but as you pointed out, this makes her a weak dance candidate, with the main benefit being you ran reposition her to an edge or corner of the fog so she can counter more enemies. The other big non-DPS options I dance a lot are Corrin's vein of Fire/ice to restrict enemy movement, either defensively to buy time, or offensively and allow allies to put allies in a position where they are shielded from enemy attacks, but will be able to safely reach a group of enemies next turn. Micaiah's Obstruct works in the same manner. Roy's Blazing Lion can also act as kind of a crappy version of this. You could also dance Micaiah to warp/rewarp/rescue up to 4 allies and herself up to 10 tiles away. Now, those can be huge, game changing plays, but they do require being engaged, and it's not always really important to get them done. So I'd say dps is most frequently the best dance option, but utility dances have the biggest impact on the game.

Yunaka and Zelkov are both S but you need to feed yunaka exp early in order for her to remain strong. Pre ch. 10 she is indeed one of the better characters to invest in. However, zelkov just comes ready to go in ch 11, and that saved exp could go towards pushing other units.

@@bpj_studio also need to remember Yunaka IS BULKIER then Zelkov. If Zelkov is hit he’s essentially dead where Yunaka can survive mages

im using dive dps with both of them on hard run, positioning is key with the risky plays

what

She is better as a thief or sword master. Pair her up with corrin and she is untouchable.

W, I have it in JP so I don't have to listen to Framme or some other annoying characters less.
