Partly because i left my proper arena run too late and i was too close to the cutoff that I fell down to Tier 17. what bothers me is getting 3 orbs now instead of 4, especially since i'm low on orbs on that account. That single missing orb will haunt me for a while. on the plus side i hope the tier isn't too crowded and it will be easier to rank on then plus plus side my main account jumped back to tier 20! I really struggled with deathless this week. I almost gave up, but then managed to get it last second (thanks to Reinhardt's ability to kill both Myrrh and Micaiah somehow... I still love that man). The levels are only getting higher and I know at some point I will be demoted to 17 >.< I don't wanna miss my orbs :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I've noticed that I tend to get +Spd on units with really low base Speed for some reason, like my BIke and Eldigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what to expect, but I hope we get 4* fodder for the following skills... Quick Riposte Blue Tomebreaker Hone Fliers While skills that I know probably won’t be 4 star exclusive, I just want another non-seasonal source of Heavy Blade, Infantry Pulse, Armor March, and Guidance.

I don't think Barst is actually related to Bord and Cord. As for the Three Green Brothers, well I like them all, they're all good characters. I used to go Rolf-Oscar-Boyd, but I'm not sure if Oscar and Boyd have swapped positions now. Of the three FE7 sisters- probably Farina as my favorite, definitely not Florina, that is certain. Of the Whitewings- I've always been drawn to Palla the most for some reason, even though I must acknowledge Catria is always superior in gameplay. I don't know about the FE6 sister, but given Juno is unusually old by FE standards, I'd probably on those grounds alone like her the most (but why oh why must she have such terrible stats and not even a good Sword rank to compensate?). As for FE8, I'm not sure. Vanessa is a little plain, Tana is a little cliched (okay she technically isn't related Tana admires her as a big sister), and Syrene, I want to say I like her the most of this trio, but that might go to Vanessa for some reason. And this reminds me to once again complain that Philia didn't get a Spotpass Paralogue in Awakening. When King Fart Joker, the Victorious Vegetarian of Valm, and the Exalted Stuntwoman got to live, Philia deserved the same! I'd have liked her despite the granny hair color and 'do.

Sad about your Hector, though his stats are so good, you can probably still make use of him. I got myself to the 45K mark on the Tempest Trials today, so I think I've got a good pace going. I'll wait until Friday to train up Eliwood for the double SP, since armors can be a bit of a pain to grind normally. 1 minute ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I don't know about the FE6 sister, but given Juno is unusually old by FE standards, I'd probably on those grounds alone like her the most (but why oh why must she have such terrible stats and not even a good Sword rank to compensate?).

I was unsure about it, but I deferred to his wiki entry. It is a little suss that neither Bord nor Cord's articles mention it, but Barst's does. On the other hand, they have the same hair style, and in FE, hair is the closest thing we have to genetics. EDIT: They also call him "bro" in the recruitment conversation though obviously that may be an informal term of endearment. @RezzyMy +Spd -Atk Eldigan can sympathise. As can +Spd -HP Winter Chrom.

The character ages page on SF puts her in her 20s, and Zelot in his 30s. But it doesn't cite any sources, and in none of Juno's dialogue do I see her age at all mentioned. So I doubt it's accurate. If it is at all accurate, it is by Japanese popular entertainment media standards, which defines old as somewhere between 25-30+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliwood is not decrepit, a little sick, but not past his prime at all in FE6: Eliwood Paladin Lv 20 HP 48 Str 25 Skl 20 Spd 22 Lck 14 Def 24 Res 15 Con 11 Mov 8 A, S, C Hector on the other hand.... muscle mass obviously began to degenerate or be devoured by his beard: Hector General Lv 20 HP 43 Str 18 Skl 20 Spd 10 Lck 15 Def 30 Res 15 Con 20 Mov 5 A, A The Con increase must mean he was putting on extra weight, and I thought Lilina forbade him from snacking on those legendary Ostian pasties. 3 minutes ago, GuiltyLove said: do u need me to buy coffins for all of us I'll just call up Arvis for cremation services.

Get past the dangers of childhood, and things are a bit better looking, if you're of the upper crust at least. Peasants aren't so lucky.

Of course Eliwood and Hector's wives don't seem to have even made it to 37, having died off screen of Disney mother syndrome. 7 minutes ago, GuiltyLove said: do u need me to buy coffins for all of us I think the lord trio of FE7 feels a lot older than their canon ages. Hector's voice in FEH also sounds like he's early 20s at least, and not barely old enough to shave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, the lower life expectancy back in the day is often misinterpreted and a large part of it is driven by infant and childhood mortality. If you made it into your thirties, the outlook wasn't quite so grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
