    Now I'm just waiting for my boy Xander to come back around

    At this point I don't even understand it. I mean they've literally given out two insanely OP heroes for free lately in Black Knight and now Arden. Even Arvis is pretty great. I guess Armor Emblem isn't a meta-destroying thing or whatever, but honestly, horse emblem isn't thaaaat big of an issue. It's 100% just the Reinhardt and Brave Lyn parts of horse emblem that are the issue. Xander dies to blues pretty easily, especially if they have swordbreaker.

    Hell, Xander dies to green mages easily, due to how low his RES is. The lunatic version of the last developer map has a Cecilia with Close Counter, and with all the horse buffs and merged stats she hits hard, to the point where Xander couldn't attack her head-on because she'd kill him on the counter.

    I'm real lucky I came back to FEH in time for Xander. I missed out on Ursula and Camus, made following guides pretty hard.

    I need to get that brash assault seal since I think that it's just the thing that I need to finally finish off the Arvis infernal mission. My attempts so far have just been me getting overwhelmed. Most every proposed solution that I've seen has involved either units, seals, or skill inheritances that I don't have. Cordellia galeforce? Don't have it. The REINHARDT? Don't have it. Brave Bow BLyn. Don't have a brave bow. Basically double the enemy or go home.

    You jerk! (Congrats!)

    So dumped my orbs (50) hoping for Hinoka. Got a 5* Peri and Tana!

    Nice, but not Hinoka. I will probably have to skip a Halloween banner sadly. Too many benched fliers, having a Hinoka would change that.

    AHHAHHAHHAHAHAHA HINOKA FIRST TRY. Now, to feed her or use her?

    EDIT: Actually the question is do I summon these two blue orbs? I couldn't decide so I just turned my phone off to think about it.
    EDIT 2: Robin and Catria. Guess lightning doesn't strike twice but I needed them for their Special Attacks, anyway. 4-stars, too, so I don't need to use my rapidly depleting feather supply. Hinoka's +HP/-Spd. I should feed her to Cherche but it seems like such a waste...

    I can't decide if I should feed mine, but honestly I feel like Hone Fliers will be more accessible at some point. It's such an oddball skill to leave so exclusive forever. I may just merge her into my actually good IV one to be +2 :P

    I feel like, even if they add another hero with Hone Fliers, there's no guarantee that it'll be available at 4-stars either. They really need to reshuffle the rarities. In the meantime, I'm gonna try to pull another Hinoka. Even if I don't, I'll keep her around for a little bit, but Corrin's chomping at the bit for that Hone Fliers boost.

  • Ark EvensongArk Evensong The NetherlandsRegistered User regular
    Huh. I, too, grabbed Hinoka on the free pull.
    My first! +Hp, -Def. Ehhhh... probably a net loss, but could be worse.

    Also grabbed Young Tiki from that dragon gauntlet banner a while back, but that was a five-pulls-for-15-orbs-yes-thank-you pull when I was a little more flush with orbs.

    No on-focus pulls for the other three banners, though. Still stuck with sword Olivia as my sole dancer.

    Pulled a dupe Hinoka off the freebie.

    My luck is turning?

    Sort of. +HP/-Atk is probably worse than my current +Atk/-Spd.

    I'm kind of glad I got Hinoka off-focus a few weeks ago and I've had a Minerva for ages. Now no pressure on this banner.

    Freebie got me a 3* Donnel hat, so peace out, banner.

    For business reasons, I must preserve the outward sign of sanity.

    It's funny, now I know what sacred coins are for I'm way less inclined to do arena assault.

    Built out my secondary horse emblem team of Sigurd, Lyn, Cecilia and Olwen. Player phase horse emblem is really good?

    I just do Arena Assault once a week...use 1 unit the first time...then 6 intermediate battles, to get a middling score and ~10 sacred coins a week. Plus the easy 3 wins a day for the daily quests.

    There's really no point to try to push the highest level of it. Definitely not worth the amount of effort and time that goes into it. For min/maxers...I'm sure they appreciate it, but I'm way too casual to mess with it. Auto battle Tempest Trials all day, e'ry day is more my style :)

    No blue orbs on my free pull

    3 on the second, no hinoka but I pulled the other orbs and got a 4* rebecca who is new to me at least

    3 blue orbs on the second pull, still no hinoka but I figure I'll pull the last 2 to up my pity rate a little more...aaaaaand the last red orb of that set had a 5* Caeda

    Fuck it, back to saving

    I have been doing a 4 person team of lvl 40 all which have low BST ( so 3 or 4 star no merges ). Generally lands me in the 13 coin range and is super easy.

    I ended up teaching Ayra Noontime. It pretty much procs 95% of the time during combat and has mostly immunized her to death by repeated ai stupidity.

    I think 95% of the time, I end up seeing the AI be victorious at auto battling the hardest hard difficulty. I do look from time to time just to see Deidre tanking multiple red melee or Arvis tanking several blue melee though. Those end about as well as one would expect.

    Used some of those sweet, sweet TT orbs on the dancer banner and pulled an Inigo (-hp/+spd)!

    This completes the dancer set!

    Man, I just looked and somehow my Hinoka is already +2. I didn't remember getting TWO extras (this is on top of the free one I just got). Now I'm thinking maybe it's time to go all in and make Hinoka completely nuts. Merge my other one so she's +3, she already has Life and Death 3 because I merged my spare Jaffar into her. Maybe I should use my 20k feathers to finally promote a Roderick and give her Firesweep Lance+, then eat my spare Lyn for Galeforce... She's +SPD so she should do amazing with it... Hmm....

    I realize that I've been able to get about three chased heroes per month or some such. I already got three this month, so I'm hoping my trying to get Hinoka aren't met with dismal failure.

    We don't have any idea when we might see a Halloween banner, right? Other than wondering what will show up after Sigurd/Dancer banners in a week.

    I think it would have to be when the other banners expire. That's just before Halloween and it would feel weird to have that mid-November IMO (even if it's billed as a "Harvest Festival" or something). There will be SOME banner there for sure, though I guess it could just be based on another game. Still, the timing feels right for another seasonal banner. And it would be weird for them to miss Halloween which is literally defined by dressing up in costumes...

    Having just pulled a Siguard and trying to set up an auto-battle team i realized that 75% of the bonus TT heroes are red (85% if you count the fact that lachesise is a non-combatant) that seems a little bit stupid. Was it like that previously?

    I haven't had more than 1 of the TT heroes before so I never really paid much attention.

    So fucking salty at the dancer banner. Pity rate up to 4.75% and I just got 3 star beruka and hunter. Worthless. 200+ orbs and not a single dancer.

    On the bright side, my 5 star Arvis with ardent sacrifice and fury 3 is a MONSTER. geez, healing 10 every single round is so powerful. Esp in tempest trials, he just cleans house.
