I actually did get a perfect run this week, but my score still sucked balls because I was using 4* Azama as my bonus unit of choice. It ended up at like 4,404 or something.

4290 here, with Takumi, Nino, Olivia, Ursula. All four of them are relatively low-BST units. Anna's worth a lot more points than Ursula, but I needed the blue firepower AND Nino.

Anyway, it's good enough for me. I never rely on rank points, so breaking 4000 points is usually my goal. 2500 + 500 feathers is pretty good for the week. That said, I will probably manage to stay in the top 100k if not the top 50k in the rankings by the end of the week.

I haven't been getting defenses the last few weeks. Last week I squeaked by with one. the week before that I got none. This week I got none.

My characters just suck too much.

I'm wondering if putting wings of (no) mercy on Azura or upgrading Nowi to a 5* with vantage 3 might improve my odds.

I think a beastly Nowi would definitely improve your odds, since I don't think a lot of people have a good counter to her yet. Especially if you had Swordbreaker on her to make her counter Falchions.

There's also a lot of luck of the draw getting a matchup, though.

Possibly my final spreadsheet addition: I've added a little section that shows what your level 40 stats should be after all modifications. It takes your character name and rarity/star-ranking, pulls the neutral level 40 stats for that ranking, then modifies them based on your nature (which it has already calculated based on your user-entered base stats), weapon, and skills. If you inherit a Brave weapon onto a character, it'll adjust your Atk/MT and Spd accordingly. Ditto for stat-modifying skills like HP +X and Fury. Fun stuff.

Other minor additions include highlighting names & skills of characters you mark for "Skill Inheritance" for easy comparison, and highlighted skills that have already been added to characters to make it easy to see who's not "natural" at a glance.

Easter Chrom, Lucina, Camilla and Xander...Yes they are releasing campy Easter Xander before regular Xander.

Ugh, I mean, it's hilarious, but playing against dumb units is going to be slightly immersion-breaking for me. I realize I'm one of an ever-diminishing minority who doesn't play Fire Emblem solely for erections. At least they'll only ever be seen in the Arena after the seasonal event is over.

Releasing dumb Xander first is a pretty smart plan, though, since even people who don't care about the costume silliness will be summoning to try to get him.

If nothing else, I also think mage Camilla is a pretty good idea. There aren't any mage fliers. While Chrom and Lucina are totally arbitrary, mage Camilla also makes sense canonically given Fates' introduction of the Malig Knight class (Camilla's default).

Yes, a flying magic user is going to be an interesting part of the meta. I just hope the only flying tome isn't a gimmicky costume one.

BOOM, just got my personal best in the Arena: 4510! Pretty pumped. It wasn't even deathless. I had to sacrifice Nino on my very last match, but even if it were deathless, it would have only been 4580.
