    Wait, what's this -spd/+res stuff??? Do characters have natures like Pokemon?

    More or less exactly like pokemon.

    They will have 0-2 + stats, and an equal number of - stats. This is 1 point at level 1, and like... 3 points or so at 40?

    Yeah, it's 3 points difference at 40.

    So Effie has base 22 SPD, my -SPD Effie will have 19 while a +SPD Effie would have 25 SPD and also be very unfortunate

    did another 5-pull. 1 four star (Matthew). a 3-star Robin with the video intro, adding insult to injury.

    oh, and another goddamn Jagen. I pull that asshole so much. I can't get a single Effie, but sure, why not give me a billion fucking Jagens

    which game is Jagen in? I want to know so I can play it and get him killed in it

    jesus I thought i couldn't hate him any more

    let me say it now and forever: fuck right off, Jagen.

    That's not how you Jagen. How you Jagen is you reduce enemies to one HP and then use other units to finish them.

    I think my only strong fire emblem fates opinion so far is that shigure absolutely positively needs a sibling otherwise you miss put on the best support in the entire game

    Right now? Probably 3*-4* promotes, unless you have someone who really wants something they get at 5* (or the stat bonus, because holy shit the stat increase at 5*)

    Sharena's a decent choice if no-one else stands out. Great abilities, can't get a better one from the Gacha, and you have her already.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    Sharena is an incredibly solid support cheerleader style character

    Against physical enemies she can provide 8 damage reduction, has pretty solid stats, and Rally Attack

    My first pull on this new banner.
    4* fae
    4* effie
    some other nobodies aint nobody care about.

    I think im going to bring effie up to 5* sometime soon. Then my team will be
    Takumi 5*
    Marth 5*
    Effie 5*
    Fae 4*

    Feeling pretty good about it. I think it has a decent coverage for Weapon Triangle, Magic+Physical, and has a nice offense vs defense split.

    Had one bad round vs. triple red swords on the lava map, but got a score of 4279 i can be happy with

    Julia @ 40 (+spd/-hp): HP 34 / ATK 49 / SPD 30 / DEF 17 / RES 35 (Naga and +3 res equipped)

    Took 8 damage on defense from a level 40 Henry despite weapon triangle disadvantage, so she's excellent at pulling any and all enemy mages and dragons.

    Team is now Ryoma, Julia, Linde and Takumi+1, should be able to just about hit 4.5k with no mistakes.

    Dunno how I feel about FE: Heroes overall, but I have been playing it. Been going with 5* Nowi, 5* Camilla, 5* Caeda, and just a 3* Serra for support. Seems to do ok at my arena bracket, I even win a handful of defense battles somehow despite the potential issue with archers due to the double fliers. Just recently pulled a 5* Chrom (+Spd -Res) that I might replace Caeda with? (I don't know my other unit's IVs since I started leveling them before I knew about such things, and possibly before the calculators were even available).

    Anyone have any experience with any of these other characters? They're my 4* units that I could try to blow all my feathers on to get one to 5* rank, unless I decide to rank up Serra or something.
    Roy (who seems notably bad from what little I've used of him so far, anyway)
    Palla
    Henry
    Est
    Corrin (F)
    Odin
    Wrys

    Also have a 3* Olivia as my only notable dancer so far, who I've heard good things about but I'd suppose that would probably only be true at 4 or 5 rank so she has decent ways to contribute on turns where she's not actually using Dance.

    i'm sorry, Roy is garbage

    gets doubled by the other red swords, but isn't tanky enough to take two hits.

    I guess he's good at killing the axe users that no one else is using.

    The only Green units seeing much use right now are Hector, Camilla and Nino/Julia; Roy's really good against Hector, but the other three can be taken out by other units who bring more to the table.

    Olivia is really good at 4*, Hone Attack and Dance are really solid and will help Camilla get around archers.

    Really? I downloaded the big update packages at launch on wifi, but I game often on LTE and it only has used about 30mb? It seemed pretty light compared to what I had heard about Super Mario Run and what I experienced with Trials Frontier.

    maybe my phone is lying to me but I did all the major updates over wifi and it says its used almost 500mb of data which is ridiculous

    Wow. That does seem crazy. Foreground? Background?

    edit: The first big update after installing the game was 400mb, so perhaps that downloaded over cell instead of wifi? Looking online it seems most are experiencing about the same data usage I have, while those who were complaining about data usage were showing 450mb+ usage and had downloaded all the patches over cellular data.

    OK, Reciprocal Aid on Donnel is real good.

    Think I'll drop Felicia in favor of Donnel, Young Tiki, Camilla, and Robin, get an even spread of physical and magic plus Tiki and Donnel can "heal" characters that are hurting while Robin and Camilla lay waste to every low Speed and Colorless unit.


    And, of course, my precious tin pot son must be my representative.

  • Ark EvensongArk Evensong The NetherlandsRegistered User regular
    Again, linking your account just means you have to do an extra step if you want to reroll. (Use the in-game Delete All Data button.) You won't get any redeemed My Nintendo rewards back, but you can link again, no problem.

    That said, it's been long enough that rerolling now probably isn't worth it.

  • Mx. QuillMx. Quill I now prefer "Myr. Quill", actually... {They/Them}Registered User regular
    To be fair, Azura is a pretty solid unit to have as a 5 Star.

  • TransporterTransporter Registered User regular
    Azura's a great engine. But she needs another heavy hitter to shine. She's a great enabler tho, while also killing Reds reliably if she has to.

    She's not a bad centerpiece tho.

    Does anyone know a good story map or such that could be used to farm up the "KO lvl 35+ Armor Foes" February Lunatic quest? There's still something like 12 days left on them, but I'd like to know that I can lock up that orb reward if I don't come across them naturally meanwhile (I think I have something like 6/15 of them so far).

    Unfortunately you'll have to do it on lunatic to get them above level 35, afaik.
