    wanted to check it out but NOW I'm gonna have to check it out and be mildly, briefly annoyed also

    The exp bonus let me finish maxing out my main team in the training tower while also finishing up the hunt for lvl 35+ armor foes. Which in turn lets me check out their IVs now. Looks like Camilla is +HP -SPD (barf), Nowi is +DEF -RES (ok to possibly good?), and Caeda is neutral all around.

    I'm guessing Nowi is putting in a lot of work on the defensive side of arena, since I have something like 5 wins this season. But in terms of rewards I'm sitting at exactly 250 points, I need literally 1 more for the max feather reward...

    IIRC defense points dont stack, it just takes your highest pointed win.
    Defense points are (presumably) earned by how badly your defense team beats the dude who attacked you.
    So you're not exactly just 1 point away if it makes you feel better, you'd need to win an indeterminable amount of defenses to get that 251+

    it turns out they make Fire Emblem Nendos!

    and for fates, they have...

    F. Corrin, Elise, and Sakura

    wow, what interesting choices

    sure wouldn't have wanted them to choose interesting characters

    (Effie plz)

    I'm seeing a bit of a contradiction here.

    (I kid, I kid.)

    More seriously, though, non-Royals ladies in Fates don't have very good odds of merch, except maybe Oboro. With Effie down in the 140s for popularity, it's not likely she'll get stuff outside of everyone gets stuff mech like keychains.

    These new quests are interesting.

    But also wow, fuck the sword lunatic one
    "yeah just take a team of sword users (who afaik are always all red?) and go into a map where theres a 36 defense blue unit, and a blue mage, also the entire map forces you into tight chokepoints behind breakable walls."

    I assume the others are even worse, but I didnt really feel like trying them because I have bad greens and I dont really really trust my blue squad either.

    EDIT: I tried the blue one because I had leftover stamina. They want you to kill Hector, with blue lance users.
    What the shit fire emblem.

    Inquiring minds: what store? Or what kind of store if it's not a big chain? (ie. if I were interested should I be looking for them in a gaming store or a comic book place or a Hot Topic...?)

    Also, I got back into my Revelations play through (having abandoned it when Pokemon Sun came out) and was messing around in the accessory shop. And Effie happened to be between Fuga and Benoît and she is just so tiny in comparison. I guess she's actually the average height model for women in the game, but it was still kind of funny. Or more that I didn't realise Fuga and Benoît are giants.

    it's a store that sells imported japanese fan merch.

    I'm trying to find them online, but all I'm finding are the fancier ones that cost a ton. The ones I'm thinking of are palstic keychains with the art of the characters from the game inside

    Spent some orbs and pulled Ephraim (-HP +SPD). I've heard the new characters weren't necessarily that great, and though I never actually looked at them in depth I've gotta say he seems reasonable enough. Between his weapon giving +3 attack to adjacent allies at start of turn and his numerous abilities to lower def, he helps any team pump out some damage. Seriously though, dude hates his opponent's defense stat: his special ignores 30% of it and he has both Seal Def AND Threaten Def. I guess the fact debuffs don't stack is what holds him back, but I'll probably try him out sometime or another once he's leveled.

    He's also slow. You've got one with a speed buff, so he isn't quite as badly off, but he's going to get doubled most of the time, and his defenses aren't good enough to make up for that, especially considering a lot of units get speed boosts at low health and he doesn't. He's got nothing to use against Hector or Takumi, and his utility boost from his spear is weaker than Spur Attack 3, so he's getting outperformed there too.

    He's not bad, but he's also not much of a gamechanger, even in a spear light environment.

    Not every unit is gonna be a Takumi (and even those blatantly OP units still have some weaknesses). His spear is weaker than Spur Attack 3, but then he also has Threaten Def so at ideal times it does actually outperform it. Whether or not Sharena could be better I dunno, but I'm sure as hell not dropping the 22,000+ feathers to get her to 5 stars anytime soon.

    I only have 5* Takumi and 5* Tiki, but they're both...pretty good

    I've got four star Hector and Boy Robin and probably some other good 'uns that are going to make it hard to decide what to boost to five stars when I have enough feathers and badges in like three weeks

    I've been really enjoying liking the popular characters in a game for once; I've been finding plenty of merchandise for them for the first time in my life.

    Level 1 stats is the easiest way

    Some stats will be either 1 higher or lower than their base, and at 40 those differences will increase to 3 points

    If you go to advanced potential and choose the upgrade option, then tap a dude, tap the confirm etc.
    It takes you to the window that's like "Do you really really want to upgrade this person?"

    and that window shows you their stats at level 1. So even if your dude is like, 37 3star you can check it.

    my issue with this has been that the attack options seem way off. My 4* sully would go to level 1 5* with 16 atk. But the only option for that is like, 6-7-8?

    Doing the bits I can for the mastery quest and my weak ass axe users are really letting me down on the fifth stratum quest

    Theoretically they could get the job done if the stratum rolls low but if I get a single heavy armor unit I'm boned so I guess I gotta grind up bartre so he can have hammer
