[Fire Emblem: Heroes] Happy 1st Anniversary!

Delzhand

Is there any particular strategy to spending battle flags?

Talith

"Wait for a bonus period then go all in during it."

To find out when you can expect a bonus period you can take a look at this Reddit thread:

Smoogy

Yeah, this tracker is great. Shows when your hero expects to have the bonus.

Ninian is done...haha.

I wonder if they're going to open up the seals or not. Being able to upgrade Quickened Pulse would be pretty nifty.

jmcdonald

Welp, upgraded panic ploy and attack ploy seals to V2.

Immediately got three more arena defenses. PP is on my WoM BK 5*+1 with the 5HP A slot. AP is on my BowLyn.

It's good times.

I doubt they'd let you upgrade that one. A 50% HP -1 cooldown would be obscene with killer/brave weapons and Aether.

Smoogy

How could you even upgrade Quickened Pulse? -3 to cooldown vs. 1? No thanks.

Delzhand

I think my strategy is going to be to throw 50 flags on any victory, and make sure I've always got enough spare to throw 200 at a multiplier victory.

Maz-

Think I'm gonna upgrade the Distant Def seal my Ike is using. That coupled with his S-support means he's pretty damn hard to kill.

AnteCantelope

Another go at the dancers banner, another off-focus 5*. I've got about a 30% 5* rate on this banner so far, but no dancers. Since I don't have Azura or Ninian either, I'd really like just one more dancer...

FYI I'm in the process (over the course of the week...I got stuff to do!) of updating the OP to be more of an FAQ style with links to more resources. Please give me any suggestions to improve for new and advanced players alike! I still want to add more about game modes (Tempest Trials, Arena, GHBs, etc.) and things like Hero Merit, SP/XP... but feel free to suggest anything else that would be useful.

http://yaycupcake.com/feh/ is a pretty good resource that documents guides to beat each Grand/Bound Hero Battles

Delzhand

Here it is, gentlemen, the worst matchup in the Arena.

Delzhand

Best part of voting gauntlet is seeing all the rando fucking powerhouses people use as leaders. I fought with a 5* Alphonse who soloed the map after I made a stupid mistake. I regret not screenshotting his build.

Spoit

But anyway, the low key best part of this update? They added an option so you don't need to tap the screen on level ups, while autobattling. Makes grinding to 20 to promote to 4* so much easier

Who grinds to 20 to promote skill fodder? That's what crystals are for, and I haven't run out of crystals in months, they've been so generous with them lately.

Smoogy

I do sometimes because it takes just a few min and like 20 stamina. Depends on the unit tho...if they arent a good attacker i'll just level them up.

jmcdonald

Figured this is the last time I'll be ranked this high, so I may as well post it now:

Smoogy

Ninian bonus go go go!

Acheron

Lol Fae's bonuses have just been stupid. I picked her on a whim because I had her as 5 star, and now I'm ranked like 4k overall. Haven't even been paying much attention.

Warlock82

I'm currently ranked 388 on Nowi. I was like 22 yesterday but there was a weak thing I didn't bother with since I only have 110 flags left. Figure I'll save them for a higher multiplier later today (no reason to wake up in the middle of the night)

Adult Tiki's been on bonus all morning and they can't catch us. I saw a post on reddit instructing #teamnowi to save their flags for a last minute push.

jmcdonald

New personal Arena score record! Fought a 698 team in this run - closest I've been to a 700 yet. This is my defense team which already has three defenses. BowLyn is stock, WoM on everyone else, plus the Panic Ploy and Attack Ploy seals as noted in a previous post:

She was on bonus all day yesterday. I'm not sure exactly what they changed with them, but they don't seem to be as potent as before while also seeming to trigger more frequently (lower gaps in scores). I'm not super worried.

hey do you want to be friends with the person who curbstomped you with a horse-dancer team in your 7th match?

no, i really don't, thanks

Acheron

Hahaha wow my overa rank is 458. Thanks Fae!!!

In other news, I'm pretty sure my black knight is singlehandedly killing people in arena. After weeks of no defense wins, suddenly I have 2 today. Happened to coincide with my vantage, QP, steady breath, black Luna BK being on defense.

Sure as hell isn't my useless Alphonse getting kills!

I saw a 5* Camilla with Distant Counter the other day. Not sure I'd burn a Hector for Chesty Larue.

Delzhand

I've been wanting a Nowi, so I've been sniping blue orbs on and off.

Today I finally pulled her.

At 4*.

What are the odds?

No seriously, what are the odds.

Honestly I get absolute garbage 99% of the time. I think the friend ones I've been getting have been pretty decent (seems to hover between a Cecilia or a Linde, both built decently well), but then the rando ones are more like, Alphonse with no skill inheritance, or someone with garbo skills. The rando ones almost never have position skills either which is the worst part.

Though I will say the heroes I've been getting this gauntlet have at least been LEAGUES above last gauntlet.

As a side note, did arena today. Um, yeah, holy shit the badge upgrading is gonna suck hard there. Distant Defense 2 alone is enough to fuck me over in a lot of cases. But also I was just seeing these crazy heroes that were just murdering my +3 merged Ike even though they weren't blues. Ike has a lot of defense, he should be able to take at least one hit by a red melee (that isn't like, Ryoma). Bleh. Ended up not going deathless but just wanted to finish it out. I'll re-do it later on I guess. Arena Assault is going to be absolute hell tho.

Smoogy

Does your Ike have Swordbreaker? If not...why not?

Delzhand

RIP #teamnowi

Couldn't stand against 4 hours of 7x bonus.

Talith

I'm down to only one Subaki for some reason and need more. Not a situation I ever thought I'd find myself in and not even sure how it happened.

Working on another project now that I had the feathers, bringing a -SPD +DEF adult Tiki up to 5* and paired her with Ninian. Don't have a fury and quick riposte to give her, so for now she gets 5HP and green tome breaker.

Hmm, 5HP opens up the option of using the panic ploy seal. I should work on that after distant defense seal... But then there are those deflects...

I know that feel. I threw out all my Subakis before I knew about Skill Inheritance. I pulled some more since then but I'm down to two left with at least four targets.

Shen

New arena assault personal best of 4918, still not enough for top 1k. Might be able to swing it with a couple more merges on Effie and Panic Ploy 3 to go with Distant Def 3.

chrono_traveller

Boo, young Tiki lost. Guess I'll grow up and switch to adult Tiki.

Dr. Flamingo

Oh hey, after my post about my lack of Subaki, the game decided to throw one at me. That's cool. Although a really cool thing to do would be to give me an orb pool with a single green orb in it after 2 other tries and not make me have to pull blue you monsters.

Hoo boy, getting mad at games tonight. I guess in less mad news, I managed to beat the M&Ms battle with my favorite team, flier emblem.

urahonky

Okay I finally did the SI, but I'm confused. I gave Neph threaten speed and don't see it on her skill list. I also gave Hector swap and something else from Subaki, but none of them are in his list either. What did I do wrong?

Acheron

After inheriting, you gotta go to "learn skills" first.

urahonky

Oh you have to learn them. I'm an idiot.

Durinia

M&M infernal is cake with armor emblem.

Man, this dancer banner hates me. Pity rate up to 4.25 and most of the orbs have been colorless or red, so I'm getting mostly trash (inefficiently).

Acheron

My brave Jeorge with lance breaker cleaned house on infernal Minerva with a dancer. Sit on the bench this time, Brave Lyn, we need someone who can crawl through the forests!!
