I'm at work, and i checked my email and i had a charge from FEH for a pack of orbs (only 3 - so i am not freaking out). - but i sort of am because i'm at work, and don't have my phone with me. it went through my paypal - so it's like... what's going on? You should always freak out (in a rational way) if you see unfamiliar charges on your accounts. I'm sure someone else here can give advice about how to investigate and secure your accounts if need be since this is not something I have personal experience with.

Dandy Druid Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 4 hours ago, Ice Dragon said: That's not a datamine. That's on the event calendar. The English calendar is published based on Pacific Time Zone in the U.S. Due to the unfortunate timing of the daily reset, this means that the daily reset moves from 12:00 AM (midnight) during daylight savings time to 11:00 PM (the day before) during standard time. This means that a date of November 1, 2018, which is during daylight savings time means 12:00 AM at the beginning of November 1, 2018, whereas a date of November 20, 2018, which is during standard time means 11:00 PM at the end of November 20, 2018. If the calendar were published in any other North American time zone (or if the daily reset were moved one hour in either direction relative to UTC), we wouldn't have this annoying discrepancy. Ok thanks. I think I think I misheard it being called a datamine. But if it's a calendar, I guess it's not a spoiler then. Well it dropped tonight so I guess my question got answered.

Faellin Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just rolled a spare Brave Ephraim, and was thinking of fodering him off for the special fighter 3 skill. (I already have him fully built up, and this spare one has garbage IV's anyways) And my current options to recieve the skill are Legendary Hector and Black Knight. So what i'm wondering, is who makes better use of the skill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Fighter is only good if you can double enemies naturally, which both Hector and Black Knight are too slow to do. IMO best users other than Ephraim himself are Halloween Henry, Valentine Lyn, and Amelia with +Speed nature and +Speed weapon refines.

So what i'm wondering, is who makes better use of the skill? Neither, really. Special Fighter is only good on units that can double naturally, either due to having high Spd or having an effect on a different skill slot that guarantees a follow-up (like Ephraim and Myrrh).

Sasori Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I'm currently keeping myself busy with one of my two merging projects. In this case its Roy who I have on +5 with 2 more Roys ready to be merged. However I only recently started using him again so his skills and nature might be a bit outdated. He now has Nature:+Hp/-res weapon: refined Binding blade Skill: Reposition Special: Ignis A: Steady Breath B: Swordbreaker 3 C: Spur speed S: Close def 3 I'm happy with how steady breath, close def and Ignis works, but spur speed and swordbreaker are probably in need of some replacement. Any optimal skills for him to use? I'm also not sure what his final nature should be. I have a +speed/-Hp and a +Speed/-Res Roy around in my barracks, but I don't know if speed is helpful on someone with build in quick reposte.

daisy jane Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just going through my Ares. i have 2 perfect IV Spreads. One is +atk/-res, and one is +spd/-res. does he want the speed or the extra attack? (at 39 raw, he'll smack pretty damn hard) (not sure how i'm building him up yet , am really low on fodder possibilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're planning on heavily investing in him then +spd with a speed refined Slaying Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your play style and what you have access to. Flying units are the easiest Player Phase units to use in my opinion since you can use Dance/Sing-Reposition almost anywhere on the map. I use ASS!Takumi/WOF!Hinoka, HNY!Azura, BB!Ninian, and NS!F!Corrin to clear most Chain Challenges. If you are planning to use Enemy Phase units, you might want to use non-dragon infantry units since a lot of the Dancers run effective Weapons against dragons and armor. 10 hours ago, Sasori said: I'm also not sure what his final nature should be. I have a +speed/-Hp and a +Speed/-Res Roy around in my barracks, but I don't know if speed is helpful on someone with build in quick reposte. Spd and Quick Riposte do completely different things for Enemy Phase units. Spd is used to help prevent enemy follow up attacks; Quick Riposte is used to ensure the unit can perform follow up attacks. Roy is awfully slow in a bad way, so he is definitely not suited for a Spd tank build in my opinion. As a Def/Res tank, his stats are poorly allocated (too much Spd and Res, not enough Def). I would only use Roy as a dragon counter, but if you want to use him as a Def/Res tank, you can go with the following: +Def, -Spd/Res Binding Blade [special] Ignis Steady Breath Guard Close Def I highly discourage giving him a Spd tank build as it is more expensive and it performs even worse: +Spd, -Res Reprisal Sword [Spd] (If you do not want wait, you can use Wo Dao) Moonbow* Atk/Spd Bond** Quick Riposte Atk/Def Bond — Darting Stance *You can run Blue Flame if you use Darting Breath **You can substitute this with any skill that boosts both Spd and Atk, such as Fury and Darting Breath (activating a stronger Special is the the same as increasing Atk).

I think i'll go with the +defense build yeah. Roy's base defense isn't that amazing, but his sword,close defense and steady breath seem to be doing a very good job patching it up.

I hardly ever play with sound, and the graphics look pretty similar, but my phone is always draining way too fast. I don't recall noting a difference in terms of battery drain, but I switched because I hadn't the space any more and I haven't had the game slow down as much either. Anyways, fodder questions. Spoiler 1. MagEirika has got Swift Sparrow and Rally Atk/Spd, which I want to give to one unit. So far I've rounded it down to Caeda, Karla, Lancina, LunEirika, Leif, Titania with a few outside bets like SummeLinde, M!Morgan, Marth, Vamp!Henry, Eliwood, Est, Valter, Ursula and Brinian in case any of those seem better. 2. Garmphraim. I had decided to give Special Fighter. Who wants that more? Faster units like LAliwood or someone like Hector? 3. Brave Bow+. Is it worthwhile to maximise speed on a BB archer, or should they be just about attack? Because I'm not sure who should get that. 4. Pain+. Is it more worthwhile on Ethlyn or Elise?

I hardly ever play with sound, and the graphics look pretty similar, but my phone is always draining way too fast. I can't see why it would drain noticeably less battery. All it does is use lower-resolution assets, which, while taking up less physical space, shouldn't significantly change the amount of processing power used. That said, I'm no expert on the matter. 1 hour ago, Dayni said: Garmphraim. I had decided to give Special Fighter. Who wants that more? Faster units like LAliwood or someone like Hector? Anyone that can guarantee a follow-up, either with a high Spd stat or with a weapon effect. Personally, I don't think Eliwood is fast enough. 1 hour ago, Dayni said: Brave Bow+.

Is it more worthwhile on Ethlyn or Elise? Line by line until you find the first statement that matches you: If you ever plan on using both of them in the same team, then Ethlin. Otherwise, if you use Elise significantly more than Ethlin, then Elise. Otherwise, Ethlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
