  1. I get the feeling at best badges would get to be exchangeable for a small amount of feathers, but I'd totally go for almost any idea mentioned. An actual shop or second way to roll (even if just for 3-4* units) would be great. They feel like such a half-baked thing in the game that I can only assume they already have some future use for them planned. It seems odd they even added those skills to the Spring characters that increase your badge count from battles when they're so worthless as-is, too. If they didn't have something else planned for them I don't see why they wouldn't have just made ranking up characters use crystals.
  2. Status staves would be interesting but might make me pull my hair out. I can already see them adding the one that halves your HP for the rest of the map (I forget the name) for some new boss battles or something, and that could be brutal.
  3. I think I'm gonna have to use my Takumi for a few battles at this rate. Somehow I still haven't gotten a single colorless ally yet for the flag quest. Literally every ally I've had is blue or green today, besides 1 Lucina.
  4. Well, I'll say I honestly haven't seen this difference between female Corrin and male Corrin (aside from people liking female a bit more because t least they think she's cute). All I've ever seen is Corrin disliked because they're Corrin, not specifically the male one. I can't address your examples since like I said I've never seen that stuff, but in general I'd think part of that could also be that more people play as the male and thus attribute the dumb shit to him since that's who they see doing it all, while female Corrin is just the cute alt-version since they don't actually play with her in game. I know you're not pointing a finger at me or anything, but I'll just say I think Corrin as a whole is an idiot, gender non-relevant.
  5. To be fair, it's not like all the characters in Fire Emblem are incredibly deep and well-explored as it is, and that goes much more so for the avatar characters that are purposefully more bland. I really don't see the surprise for a character's design and attractiveness being more of a focus in some cases when it's not like their personality is a huge strong point.
  6. No reason to rejoice for Julia. Coming off of a 3x and she barely passes Tharja. I was honestly expecting another swing back(and hoped I'd get a sweet flag multiplier) like early this morning but I guess our hexes are just too much.
  7. This. I can't think of anything really bad about Robin. I'm pretty indifferent to him since he's just kinda meh. Yeah he has plot armor and Gary Stu going on, but it's not like it offensively stands out over other main characters. Meanwhile, Corrin himself greatly contributes to what makes Fates' story so infuriatingly bad.
  8. What made Chrom vs Ephraim great was mainly all the fan art that popped up during it. Sadly, don't remember seeing hardly anything for the last guantlet, nor for this one so far. Maybe I'm just missing it all this time.. I guess part of it was also it was the first guantlet, too. :(
  9. This is why I save most of my dueling quests. You never know when that quest or rainy day will come that you wish you had them. I think I have about 40 right now. I never use them to surrender and reroll for higher points in arena. They go towards when I get really salty from a dumb ruined deathless run or I'm really impatient at the start of a new season. Also, I hope my Bunny Camilla is serving my fellow Tharja fans well. I don't know if anyone from Serenes is on my list, but I did get an add just before the start of the gauntlet from somebody with a vantage Hector who's been mighty helpful. With all the Lindes and other blues I've been seeing myself, I hope Camilla's been similarly helpful for anyone.
  10. He's cake for me too. Bunny Camilla just baits him and laughs. Honestly, I don't see him a whole ton lately. If anything's been ridiculously common right now it's all these Ryomas and Hectors, likely thanks to the Hero Fest banner. Either way, even if Rein were in every match, I don't find him as cancerous on defense as Takumi was in the early days of the game. Back before skill inheritance and when most people were still lining up good teams he was just a total pain in the ass to constantly run into. Plus almost everyone seems to carry a reliable green mage or Hector which all take care of Rein pretty safely. (unless it's a bad map + full cav meme buffs) He's certainly still nuts in the player's hands, though.
  11. May their flags disappear into the darkness!
  12. Going for the underdog was already beneficial feather-wise. I still think the 3x multiplier should only count within your current team, not the global ranking. Making it harder for people on a team that stays winning to rank well in comparison seems kind of lame. I don't think encouraging people to try and game the system for points is any better than people bandwagoning the most popular team, as people complained about before. I mean, it's honestly supposed to be a popularity contest first and foremost anyway, at least.
  13. We got flag quests for each round last time, so I would assume we will.
  14. I get the feeling most matches will come down to just whoever gets that final 3x bonus during the last hour, since they're all being kept to a close back and fourth otherwise. So it's practically a coin flip in that case.
  15. If Robin loses to Merric of all people that'd be hilarious. (and sad) I really wish you could check how the other matches are doing in-game, besides just your own team's.
  16. Yeah this new system really doesn't seem any better. I mean, the massive blowouts all 3 times prior weren't good either, but now it just feels pointless in a different way.
  17. I wouldn't be too worried. Especially for the potential marriage banner since brides and grooms come as a pair after all, so even split only makes sense for that. And I think they recognize they've got enough female husbando-hunter players they can cater to, which they demonstrated by not making the bunny banner just all bunny girls. I expect we'll see half bikinis and half shirtless/swimtrunks for the inevitable summer banner too. Now I don't know whether to blow some orbs trying for Celica or just keep saving them all for the likely bikini Lucina and Camilla..
  18. Shit, I totally forgot the gauntlet started today, despite being up all night anyway. I was absorbed between Mario Kart and Stellaris. Well there goes like 4 hours of battles. Tharja vs Linde is surprisingly close, though I have no idea whether to chalk that up to Tharja obviously not being as hyper popular as Lucina or big-boob sister or the new comeback system.
  19. They all look really good, assuming they have good stats to go along with those skills. Celica and Mae are what I'd like most. I wouldn't mind Genny for her staff damage skill too. It'd be really fun to do something like give Elise the skill to make her a mixed healer/attacker on a horse team. I know they're trying to bait me again like the Ike banner, though. I just know if I blow my orbs on this they'll pull something really good right after as the surprise, whether it's the speculated wedding banner or a straight summer swimsuit one. If it's the latter I'll beat my orb-less head against a wall.
  20. I use a Gronnraven+ B Camilla myself and she's been outstanding and has had a spot on my core team ever since I got her. Gronnblade+ in a flier team is certainly great too, but that'll take a lot of SP, inheritance, and feathers to get a full meme team running really well, so I don't think you need to prioritize feathers for that.(unless you really want a flier team anyway) She'll still be a very solid blue/colorless wrecker just as you're already building her. I'd sacrifice that 4* Henry too, to drop G Tomebreaker on her so she can also stand up to Julia, Nino and herself if they don't run their own GTB. You have a bunch of good units, and out of what you have (and mostly going by their initial skill sets since you want to be inexpensive) I'd probably say Leo/Ninian/Effie/Camilla. Kind of a tossup between Leo and Corrin but Corrin's base skills are pretty meh, and if you can't afford to skill inheritance him right now I think Leo will serve you better since he needs less help. (already comes with Quick Riposte and such) If you can, just try to put Swap/Pivot on Effie if you haven't already, so she's less of a burden to move around, and I think that'll be perfectly fine team. Running Hector instead of Camilla is another consideration, and he doesn't need much inheritance help, but running 2 slow armors if you also use Effie might be a bit frustrating to move both around.
  21. Can confirm I just killed Ursula on 9-3 Normal with my lvl 15 2* Anna for the quest, so that works perfectly fine. Relived I didn't have to go and train her up just for this quest instead.
  22. If anybody would like to add for Team Tharja, my fc is: 4922534500 Lead unit is just Tharja for my defense team right now, but I'll likely put Eirika (with Rally Def) to max buff other people's Tharja's or Cordelia depending on the match ups. Might switch to Bunny Camilla if it comes down to Tharja vs M Robin, since she'll take care of him easily for people.
  23. Wow really? I had no idea friends factored into anything besides lending you their lead unit if on the same team. I guess I've always had mostly full list of friends since people used to add randomly all the time in the beginning, so I never knew it could be under 100 per flag.
  24. Wait, what's this about needing 10 friends to maximize gauntlet scoring?
