Fire Emblem Heroes: Choose Your Legends!

Yeah, I just want Laegjarn for story reasons. Like Veronica before we knew she was also good.

In 8 tries I got a second Katarina (+atk/-def) so I'll either +1 my old one or hang onto her forever waiting for the "perfect" SS candidate. The same thing I've been doing with Ishtar for awhile now :D. I think I'm going to hold off on the rest of my orbs until we see this year's Halloween stuff.
 
I do not care for any of the bad guys besides Veronica. They are just blah to me.

I want Lewyn or Hardin or Veronica. Is that so hard to ask for?

Also what new projects are you all working on?

I'm making my Breath of Fog Y Tiki which was my first 5 Star for my Dragon Emblem team.

I’m not working on anything at the moment. I have a +10 A!Tiki and +9 Chrom, but not sure what to work on next.

I’ve got 160k feathers, but it feels like everything is getting powercrept so quickly that I can’t decide on any merges that would be worth the investment.

Most of the 3 and 4 star pool at +10 don’t even seem like they’d be any better than most of the 5 star exclusives without any merges.

I’m certainly open to any suggestions though!
 
the problem is that all the 3-4* available characters aren't that good or tempting.  Sure I can make my A.Tiki+10, Raven+10, or Nowi+10, but who cares really.  Everything is outclassed by other elite 5* characters. 

The only reason we even care is for Arena matchups.  I'm about to just +10 Reinhardt honestly, and give him Deathblow 4.  Or else just keep promoting the semi-interesting GHB units and +2 a few of them idk. 

I have 350k feathers just sitting there and nothing is obvious. 

There are no fliers worth merging when I always use Cordelia +8 and Myrrh.  There isn't a red flier worth merging.   Firesweep Ryoma and bladetome Summer Tana shit on everything.

Here's what I've been working on today. :D
[attachment=31007:Screenshot_20180922-182949_Fire Emblem Heroes.jpg]
I can't decide whether to go with Fury or Swift Sparrow. Once Summoner Support is done her stat line will be 43/50/41/38/22.

As for merge projects, I've had three extra Xanders for far too long, so I think I'll max him. I have better sword cavs, but he's still the only one with distant counter.

Found out the hard way, the max feather count you can carry is 999,999.

I think the counter stops at 999,999 but you can have more than that. I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere but I’ve never had that many, so I can’t confirm it to be true.

Man I was really hoping to not be interested in this Legendary banner, but I think I need that blue armor Tiki. There is so much good fodder too....

I hate you so much right now.

10.00% focus rate, zero orbs, and I don't want to spend money on this game.

Oof, that stinks. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll have better luck with the orbs for the next few days. Also, you should stop reading my post here.

Congrats!
I managed to get L!Tiki, Micaiah, and Jaffar with just 70 orbs. Unfortunately L!Tiki is +HP/-Spd.
Oh well, at least now I can save the rest for Halloween!

With her ballooned stats, pretty much any combination is good (except maybe the def SBane). Mine is also -spd, with +res. 32 spd will still stop a lot of doubles and the 48hp might make for some interesting options with the Panic Ploy seal.
 
armored Tiki is one of those few very rare units that I feel like you don't want to miss out on.  She's incredible in every situation.   She's definitely S+ rank 1.  Give her the QR3 seal and then bam, instant powerhouse in both phases and with adaptive damage.  She's also great for being blue. 

I feel like everyone is going to want to spend to get one of her.  But my only concern is that you KNOW they are eventually going to have to have a mega Legendary banner with only leg. units on it, possible around Christmas or New Year.

Got a neutral Tana today to go along with the random -spd/+def one I already had. Hopefully her weapon refine is something cool.

Also, thank god for Reinhardt and Titania. Killing swordhardt with Rein and repositioning him with Titania was the backbone for completing the BHB for me.

yeah, is it time to go all out and make a full Titania buffbot?  I guess you need a Quan to sac first.

I hope that was with a free pull. We are sooo close to Halloween units!
 
It was free, thankfully. I've saved up 100 orbs for the new Halloween banner, but I'm not sure how nuts I'm going to go. Guard weapons seem interesting, but I liked last year's character designs better.

Free Halloween Dorcas on the other hand, I am very excited for.

I’m not sure how I feel about these units yet. I like the uniqueness of a flying healer, but I’m not sure how much I’d actually use her. I want Myrhh because I could definitely use a good unit with Armor March.

I’m going to try to hold off pulling until the end of the month to see the Legendary Banner units. I’m glad we have plenty of time to pull on this one.
 
It seems like Veronica is going to trump the other healers for all eternity.  Man she is scary in arena; you never know how hard she is going to hit and she often can't be ORKO.  The no counters + debuff mechanic can pick your team off in an instant if you aren't careful.  That movement range too.

I agree with you. This is what I need. I need people to talk me out of spending orbs lol. I really want to just save for a few months until I can +10 a good 5* exclusive.

Unfortunately I know I don’t have the will-power to do so. I have 270 now so only another 1200 or so? 😫
 
The Tana refine is interesting, but I'm not sure I have much of a fit for it anywhere. It'd obviously be good on a mixed movement team where you can warp someone in, then move in front of them and repeat. The problem I have is that any mixed movement team of mine would already have tanky blues.

Well, time to go get Veronica a golden ducky.
 
Tana is a problem because she's a player phase unit with enemy phase special ability.  I like her on an individual level, but she just isn't that good in teams. 

 
So I've been looking at Halloween Dorcas for the last few days. He's reminded me of something that has bugged me for awhile now with GHB, TT, and some limited time units. You have to choose between inheriting their weapons and inheriting their skills. You can't do both, because the lower levels of their skills are not available outside of 5*s.

H Dorcas - Sturdy stance 1 - One 5*
Groom Marth - Drive Atk 1 - Five 5*s
Berkut - Water Boost 2 - 0 (DD3 is better, but still)
Kana - Brazen D/R 2- One 5*
Etc.

I understand the goal is to make those 5* skills more available on a limited basis, but it's frustrating that I can't give SS2 and Hack+ to the same unit.

Man, screw this Halloween banner. I've gotten up around 5% twice now and both times got the ultra cool, 5 star exclusive Luke for my troubles.

Yep. I am fed up as well. I've spent about 200 orbs on it so far, have gotten zero Halloween units, and have gotten 2 extra Sword Reinhardts as pity breakers.

Also, voting gauntlet is retarded.

 
Aether Raids are really cool.  It's the first interesting mode they have added to the game in ages. 

Too bad the rewards aren't really very good...but this is the most fun I've had with gameplay in quite awhile. It's awesome that we can replay our defenses now too.  It's fun trying new things in your defense fortress.  It's especially fun now that we can use all of our units that have been neglected and skipped over for arena score like mages, dancers, healers, and low rated units.

I agree 100% that Aether Raids is awesome and I love the added strategy involved. My only complaint is that we need more Aether! Want to play this mode so much more but the Aether is way too limited.
 
I haven't done much with AR, but they are really fun to mess around with. I'm also a big fan of extra GHB units as it provides a solution for inheriting both weapons and skills from units.
 
There's one problem I'm already starting to have with Aether Raids. It's not something like overwhelming matchups or dumb ai, but rather the ranking system.

Since the limiting factor in getting points is Aether, and since everyone has the same amount, the only way to improve your current rank is if a significant number of people don't play (or get blown up somehow). So every day I log in, do my 3-4 matches, and make zero progress towards the next ranking tier because so did practically everyone else.

There's no incentive from a ranking perspective because you aren't playing to improve your rank, you're simply playing not to lose it.
 
Wow this banner has been amazing for me. I started with 580 ftp orbs and decided I’m going to try to get as close to a +10 Surtr as I can get. It took me 310 orbs to get +10 Surtr! I also got a Ylgr, an Ophelia, and an Amelia along the way.

I hope you guys are having good luck as well!
 
He's been out all of one day, and I've already ran into 5 annoying-ass Surtr's in a row in arena. He's pretty much built to end deathless runs by cheapoing one unit with him or him and someone else.
 
That's amazing luck, congratulations.

No, I spent 160 orbs on the adrift banner and only got one 5* to show for it.  At least it's a good one, with a perfect IV.  I've really had terrible luck on 5* in general for the last 4-5months. I don't really save orbs either.

Still I can't believe you got that many Surtr in just 310 orbs.  Hopefully you have a +Str-Spd or +Res-Spd one.  His stat distribution is unreal.  He's such a wall.  I couldn't believe it when I saw his stat spread for the first time the other night.

I was pretty shocked as well. My wife and I were driving from FL to NC for Thanksgiving and my she kept asking me why I kept grinning.

But, not a single one was -spd so I went with +DEF, -HP. I’m hoping the legendary banner has a unit with Bold Fightet that I can give here. Here’s how he looks as of now...[attachment=31330:0BDE8EF6-7F9C-4CD8-A2AA-249848A3EADA.png]
 
I pulled the girl in the first pull.

Then sniped green until I got him and used 40 orbs. I'm at 40 orbs again for the legend or next banner.

No to Build these two Silas and Y Azura.

 
Not that Bold Fighter is bad, but what about using Vengeful Fighter instead? Unless you reposition him in, anybody he attacks will have been hit by his axe effect already.

I could also see things like Guard being useful to avoid Aether/Black Luna shenaningans.
 
Got a -hp/+atk Brave Roy from the Vantage banner free pull. I threw a few more orbs at it and got my second -atk/+res Swordhardt. I guess my old one will only be -2 atk now.

I need to figure out a new build for Rein, as my Deflect Melee+vantage wasn't that great. Maybe something more straightforward like brazen seal+desperation.
 
14 more minutes to hopefully not get raided. I'm at the exact cutoff for the tier I'm in, so any lost lift would drop me down.

Edit:
Just a heads up on AR before you guys spend the resources. Adding a 5th attacker did not raise my maximum available lift/win to 120 like I thought it would. I can't confirm yet if it means I can lose a unit and still get 100.

I can confirm that having 5 offensive units and losing 1 is still only worth 80 lift. So, having an extra unit really isn't a big boost as you still have to tank/attack SOMEthing. If anything, it might be easier for a horse+dancer to find something to kill with 5 units. : /

On a similar topic, I can also confirm that a +10/DB4/+atk Reinhardt doesn't care how many Leg Lyns, Val Lyns, Brv Hects, Leg Ikes, or Brv Veronicas my attack team has.

AR is the ravaged by Reinhardts, B!Lyns, Veronicas, and dancers in the same way Arena is with Armors and Dragons. It really kinda sucks.
 
I just think that losing lift the way it works is kind of stupid.  I actually have a good AR defensive team now that has won nearly 50% of it's matchups in the last week.  But it doesn't matter.   Because you get 0 lift on your successes and -80 on your first loss every day. 

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding.  But the defense wins are pointless as long as you lose once.

Screw these abyssal maps. At least now I won't have to kill myself trying to clear any future ones.

Edit:
Got a free Laegjarn today. Now I have to decide if I'd rather have Chill Atk, Distant Guard, or give my other Laeg +1hp/+1spd. That's ok though, because I have a clear history of being decisive about these things (looks at 3 copies of Ares, Siegbert, and Ishtar).

Well, that post didn't age all that well. So thanks to Phoenixmaster, 20k feathers to give Genny pain+ and martyr+, and a bunch of various SI and refinement experimenting to make up for Genny's awful speed, I finally cleared Hrid Abyssal. It was a lot more resources than should have been necessary.

The important thing though, is that I still have all the hats.
