Humbug

Hey guys! I spent all my orbs on this banner chasing Julia. Which obviously means that now I have Sanaki, Linde and Tharja :S I do kinda like Linde though, the one I pulled is +ATK/-DEF. I have been playing around with the battle simulator thing and was hoping for some input I on the build I'm hoping to work towards, any thoughts, pros/cons are appreciated :) Linde Weapon: Blarraven+ Assist: Optional Special: Moonbow(??) Life and Death 3 Swordbreaker 3 Optional This should give her a win/loss/draw of 96/4/25 (including Reinhardt who's just a c*nt). With a hone, that would be (for attack) 106/4/15 and (for speed) 100/4/21. The four losses on these different situations are Julia, Nino, Hector and F!Robin who I do not consider threats (my arena team includes either Y!Tiki or -SPD/+DEF Ryoma). Unbuffed it beats out the same build with Blarblade (BR96/4/25 to BB88/11/26). With one buff (ATK) BR106/4/15 to BB107/5/13 and (SPD) BR100/4/21 to BB100/11/14. With double buffs (SPD and ATK) Blarraven seems to fall short at BR109/4/12 to BB114/4/7 but I'm not sure I will be able to keep two buffs on her at all times.. Am I relying too much on the calculator? I have no idea. What I do know is that -DEF Linde with LaD3 has 6 def... Holy shit!

They mean for the banners introducing new heroes

Ha, people keep making me want to pick up the FE games.. (Un)fortunately I'm poor as a pauper and unemployed atm so I can easily tell myself I can't do that :(

Woooow, this'll be the first time I'm going with a hero for another reason than "I think this hero will win". I don't really know any FE games so only knowing Sanaki as what she is in heros, between her skills, design and quotes I just love her, I hope she'll have a chance to win. Not sure why people think Tharja will take it all, is she a very popular FE character??

I'm in a rush and just wanted to add a point on feathers, so I apologise if it has been previously mentioned: Hero merit and 15 feathers/day (plus the 100 on.. Fridays I think?) are being brought up as "too slow" to be efficient ways of gathering feathers, but they cannot be examined in a vacuum. They have to be considered in conjunction with voting gauntlet feathers, Arena feathers and feathers obtained from special events/sending units home (as an entirely F2P I will soon have to send units home, as I am somewhere above 150 heroes now, probably next time I decide to summon). This whole discussion reminds me of something a whale posted on reddit a week or so after the game launched, when people were excessively complaining about feathers particularly. It was in the form of a letter from a whale to the F2P community and his point was that F2P players needed to show more patience. Its only natural that whales have the superior edge in the early stages of the game, but time and perseverance are the great equaliser. (Point in fact, i started out only ranking top 5k or 10k, then when I got a slightly better team I had to give up on deathless runs as my non-merged characters were facing almost exclusively +5-+10s, until this Arena update where teams seem to have balanced out for me in terms of power and I'm back in the top 10k) The game will be much harder and take much longer as a F2P, but the longer you play the game, the smaller the gap between F2P and Whale becomes. In this respect, yeah, Hero Merit Feathers seem like a ridiculous drag that'll take forever, but remember that within the first 1-2 days of hero merit, some dude managed to max out his Felicia. Even I, playing semi-casually have more than 200 Hero Merit on at least four heroes by now, so extrapolate that into the nearest future and it shouldn't take you too long to build up feathers, as long as you persevere and put in the work :)

Clair definitely retreats, she doesn't advance, I'm kinda confused on how they messed that up if it's the same in the Japanese version too

I haven't taught my Carrot Chrom ANY skills yet and I'm considering sacrificing my only Hinata to give him Fury 3 (for the stats while using carrot axe to heal 2/3 of the Fury post-combat) Yay or nay? Are there better A skills for Bunny Chrom? He seems like he is definitely a player phase (right terminology??) kind of hero, so I'm wondering if death or farting blow perhaps outclass it (which opens up to him getting a potentially better weapon? I just feel like the Furious Carrot Chrom thing would be smart?)...?? I haven't even started to think about what I might put on his C or B slot, but I'll figure that out later (before sacrificing any units to him though!) This is important to me, cause he's my only good green (decent hero and 5*) :)

Thank you guys :)

Thank you! I probably won't be trying for flier emblem ("fun emblem" according to Swype, lol :) ), F2P and I don't have the right units. I'm mainly leveling her to have her in case she's ever need for a GHB or something similar, so I probably will not use her on my main team, might not even skill inherit on her for a long time (if ever). If we don't factor in SI, would +ATK stil be preferable due to her abysmal normal attack? (Sorry to keep asking, but I've read somewhere that SPD -in general- is the best boon?)

Pulled two Caedas, one is +ATK/-HP and the other is +SPD/-RES, I'm leaning towards using the second one, seeing as she already has good speed, but I'm worried that her low attack is gonna be useless if I don't take the +ATK version... Any advice? (right topic??)

Had to look him up cause I'm entirely new to FE, he seems cool, do we know that he'll have distant counter or is it just very likely?

I feel like (but obviously don't know) that we'll see a distant counter lance before any more DC Swords get added? (2 already in the game)

I think they're great, slightly sexualised but really nothing out of the ordinary for this game when compared to more vanilla units

Leaving myself a reminder here or I will forget to post. Long day of strategizing and copying battle plans, but my take away is that Cherche is great for 9-2 through 4. Just jotting down my team for 9-5 or I will forget. Ursula, Olivia, Camilla (att bane nonetheless) and Cain.

This was more intended to be a "no light's blessing" kinda thread as (I think) these missions are fairly easy with light's blessing :)
