It feels so weird being unable to do anything noteworthy in the page about Micaiah... but I need to check at least once for week... To know if something had happen.

 

[Tino]

Eh, I gave up on ever getting Azura. Hell, I forgot that banner was even a thing. lol

Well no matter. Having regular Azura is good enough for me anyways. Not interested in the Halloween banner because I’m tired of seasonal banners. I’m tired of playing Heroes in general, to be honest.

While I’m at it, I did get Fire Emblem Warriors a few days ago and I must say I am enjoying it. I mean who doesn’t like beating people up with your favorite characters? I find History Mode to be more enjoyable than the story, which makes no sense to me but who gives a damn. Haven’t bought the Seasons Pass at the moment.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Yeah, I'm in no rush to get the season pass either. Bridal Lucina is totally not important to me. She might be my favorite lord, but I don't care for this whole "waifu" thing in the slightest. Waifu is a term to be used ironically in my eyes, as with Arden, Legion, or Dedede. I will probably buy it when I finish all the current history mode maps, though.

I've been ignoring the Geneology banners and spending all my orbs on the performing arts banner. Since it dropped, I managed to get Maria, Camilla, Marth, Cain, and then today, P!Olivia (+speed too!). I was color sniping grey and greens at first since I don't really care for Shigure, but after getting Camilla I thought "screw it" about this whole sniping thing I decided to just try and appreciate whoever I get. And hey, at least I have Brave Axe+ fodder now, in case I ever need it.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it about Micaiah that you find so appealing?

 

[Deleted member]

Colorless Hell was really kind to me today.
While I couldn't get Sakura, who was honestly the hero I wanted the most, what I got instead was much better. I got another Takumi (-Speed/+Def), another Innes (-Attack/+Speed), and a ToD Jakob (-HP/+Def). Then I managed to get a ToD Nowi.
I have to say, I am pleased with the results... now it's time to save for the next banner, whenever it comes out.

But I am now at a debate with Innes. I am going to merge him because I don't think anyone desperately need Fortress Res or Cancel Affinity, but which one should I use? The one with +Attack/-Speed or the one with +Speed/-Attack?

 

[Armagon]

I finally got the chance to play Path of Radiance. Turns out my laptop can run it after all; the only issue there is is the audio, which sounds a bit staticy but the game itself runs fine. So far, my only complaint with Path of Radiance is how slow the battle animations are. Last time i felt that was in the original Gaiden. Even when turned off, the map-battle animations are slow. Hope they fixed this in Radiant Dawn.

ut I am now at a debate with Innes. I am going to merge him because I don't think anyone desperately need Fortress Res or Cancel Affinity, but which one should I use? The one with +Attack/-Speed or the one with +Speed/-Attack?

Given how the current meta revolves around speed, i'd say keep the +Speed one. But i don't know what Innes' optimal IVs are, since i don't have him.

I got PoR running on my Wii and my problem is that the game is only in 4:3 and I can't set it to 16:9. I am also playing the European version, which may contribute to this too.
I do agree that the battle and map animations are slow... the game can feel sluggish at times.

Innes's optimal IVs are either +Attack/-Def or +Speed/-Def. He doesn't want to lose Attack and Speed for obvious reasons, and he doesn't want to lose Res since he can be a magic check.

 

[Astellius]

Well, I decided to put my stash of about 60+ orbs into the new banner, targeting colorless and reds, in hopes of either Sakura or Nowi. For my efforts, naturally I did not get either of them, and, instead, I randomly got a 5* Ogma and Lyn, with Lyn coming with the obvious nature of -Atk. Really looking forward to harnessing all of that 40 attack she'll have! But Ogma, on the other hand, actually has a pretty ideal nature though, +Atk/-Res, so that's pretty nice, even if I already have a couple brave sword wielders (Elincia, Arden). I also got a couple 4* Athenas, which is cool since I didn't have her before and she carries the Wo Dao, which is a useful sword.

I nevee played PoR for comparison, but let me tell yoy, Radiant Dawn's animations are really slow and dated themselves. It's almost comical seeing a knight take an eternity to make their counterattack on a flier or cat.

Map animations aren't so bad, though. But if you really need to, you can turn those off as well.

 

[Nah]

The one thing that will make it easier getting through RD visuals-wise is that the combat animations are a lot more fluid and natural looking than in PoR. Most of the battle animations in PoR are pretty stiff and even sometimes awkward looking. Might not be perfect, but it's a significant step up at least.

I would like to say that RD is a little faster than PoR, but uh, it's getting to be quite a while since I played either game soooooooo

 

[Armagon]

Innes's optimal IVs are either +Attack/-Def or +Speed/-Def. He doesn't want to lose Attack and Speed for obvious reasons, and he doesn't want to lose Res since he can be a magic check.

Maybe you've already made your decision but i'd say use the +Speed one and merge the +Attack one. Losing a bit of a Attack is a shame but Innes at least has Nidhogg, which is a Legendary Bow. Speed is more important, especially considering the meta right now.

That's actually a bit upsetting tbh.

Yeah, i'm at least expecting the battle animations to be more fluid but if they're still as slow as PoR's, then i'm going to have issues. Doesn't really help that Radiant Dawn is the longest game in the series. At least the gameplay itself is solid though, from what i hear.

 

[LordTakeo]

Happy Halloween!

The ending really got me.

Radiant Dawn has fantastic map design almost as good as Conquest, but unit balance almost akin to Revelations, so its gameplay is a hit or a miss. The maps are varied and challenging yet fair, but the game gives you a mix of OP and underpowered units. For story reasons, it also changes up your party a bunch. It's really annoying on your first playthrough because you never know who you'll be able to keep and who'll go.

Speaking of story, though, I'd say RD is worth playing for that alone. It has some BS moments (I'm looking at you, blood contracts) and some bland characters, but it's still definetly one of the better ones.

It's a little late now, but I chose to keep the +Attack variant. I do run Brave Bow+ on him, but I haven't given him Life & Death yet. When or if I get a better IV'd Innes, I'll use that one instead. Even with -Speed, my Innes is very reliable.
I say my most reliable archers are Brave Lyn and Takumi.

Is Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn available on Nintendo eShop? Or would I have to find a physical copy elsewhere? It would be blessed if it was on eShop since its still in my bucket list on what to play.

It's not on the eShop unfortunately.
Radiant Dawn is not as expensive as Path of Radiance, but you can't come across it easily.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Rolled a Halloween Jakob today. I was hoping for Henry or Sakura, but I'll take it. He's -res/+speed, so I'll wait to train him incase I get a better one, but I'm brainstorming ways to salvage him. He gets 32 speed with Hone Armor, enough to double Rein, so I'm thinking I'll run Deflect Magic and Bowbreaker on him so he can destroy ranged horses.

 

[Troykv]

If you don't mind me asking, what is it about Micaiah that you find so appealing?

It's a interesting question, and I'm sorry to appear half-week late to answer it.

I have a very strange story with Micaiah since the very first moment I knew about her, if you want to know the whole story I can tell you.

But the TL;DR version would be: Micaiah is a character that had hit my in very personal levels; I love her design, I love her devotion, I love her personality, I love her and she makes me feel better everytime I see her.

 

[Armagon]

Anyway, that Voting Gauntlet is a thing. It sounds like it was a Splatoon Splatfest idea. Anyway, i'll be siding with Katarina here. Not just because i have her but because she's a top-tier waifu. After that, i dunno. I did the free summons for both banners. For the Long-Haired Guys, i was trying for Ryoma or Karel. I got.....Seth. At least he's new. For the Short-Haired Laides, i was going for Amelia. I got......Arthur. Quoting Alpharad here "you hate to see that happen".

 

[Erureido]

Nice to see Ryoma and Takumi finally show up in a Voting Gauntlet. I'm obviously going to go for Team Takumi in this one. If he loses? I'll probably go Team Soren, but that comes down to how far Takumi will go in this competition.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Amelia has been the staple of my Arena team since I rolled her. I gave her Fury and Summoner support for that sweet, sweet 212 rating on her. Definitely siding with team Huge first round.

This voting gaunlet is so random. I like it.

 

[Deleted member]

I mainly rolled for Amelia and I got her. She's +Speed/-Res, meaning she'll get 37 base speed and 40 speed with Fury.
Although Henry is a thing now, I wanted Amelia because she's a cinnamon roll and she was great in my Sacred Stones playthrough. Thanks to her, my teams are complete!

Spoiler

Horse Emblem: Xander/Sigurd, Camus, Reinhardt, Brave Lyn
Flier Emblem: Elincia, Hinoka/Cordelia, Cherche, Summer Corrin
Armor Emblem: Hector, Black Knight, Effie, Amelia

As for who I am supporting... well... I think it's obvious that I will be supporting my favorite Pineapple Bro, Takumi.
If he gets knocked out, I'll support Katarina if she makes it to the next round. If not, I'll support the Lobster Lord himself, Ryoma.

That sounded weird...but okay. Forget it asked.

As for the gauntlet, Team Amelia all the way, whom I tried to get from the short-haired chicks banner but I got no green orbs whatsoever. Did get an extra Katarina though along with a new character, a 4-star Tailtiu. For the long-haired dudes, Karel has my vote. **** the other three.

PD: I think I'll vote for Shanna this time.

 

[DarkAuraful]

Anyone know what's good for Leon? Mine is a +ATK and -HP. Would also like to know for Tharja too as she's also a +ATK. Might consider both for leading team.

Also I'm currently undecided on who to go for the next gauntlet.

 

[Astellius]

Well, another gauntlet is here, and perhaps the one with the most random selection of characters yet! I like it! Of the listed characters, I had pulled Shanna, Hinoka, and Karel. But Karel has been sacrificed upon the altar of Fir. So that left Shanna and Hinoka, both of whom I like but have no exceptional affinity for.

But then I pulled the free pull upon the Long-Haired Gents banner and got...

Spoiler

No one of significance. Ah well. I would have liked to add Soren, Ryoma, or Takumi to my arsenal, but the RNG Goddess was having none of that. I would've liked another Karel too, although I have zero regrets about giving his Wo Dao+ to Fir.

So no luck there. But how about the short-haired girls? I REALLY wanted to try to pull for Amelia, but I didn't have the orbs at the time. In any case, for the free pull, I went for green... And guess who I got....

Spoiler

Soren! You were supposed to be in the other banner! Haha, but thanks for finally joining me! I guess I know who I'm supporting in this gauntlet! And check it out, he's +Atk/-Def, that's a great nature for him!

Although there's another green orb, so I suppose I could pull from it. And it was...

Spoiler

WHAT!!! That's amazing! I got two characters I really wanted, but never had, right in a row! Hnnnghh! The only downside is that Amelia is +Res/-Atk.

But... What do I do now? Do I support Soren or do I support Amelia? I probably should go Soren first, then Amelia, it appears to be what the RNG Goddess wants...

Spoiler

It's so beautiful...*sniff*

 

[Tino]

Did I freak you out?... I'm sorry dude, maybe I should have used a different language

No, it's all good. Just a bit surprised is all.

 

[Deleted member]

My Amelia is complete.
I saw some sets to see which ones would work with her. I saw ones with Life and Death, but I wanted to preserve her bulk, which is why I went with Fury. I also gave her Wings of Mercy to help support Armor Emblem, more specifically Hector and Black Knight. I chose Ignis over Bonfire because Slayer Axe makes Ignis a better Bonfire.
I have a lot of Faes, so I might opt out of Wings of Mercy for Renewal in the future, depending on how effective Armor Emblem is for the other modes.

Anyone know what's good for Leon? Mine is a +ATK and -HP. Would also like to know for Tharja too as she's also a +ATK. Might consider both for leading team.

Also I'm currently undecided on who to go for the next gauntlet.

For Leon, you have two options: a cheap budget set that preserves his bulk or sacrifice his bulk in favor of a more offensive playstyle.

Spoiler: Set A

Weapon: Slaying Bow
Assist: Draw Back/Reposition
Special: Ignis/Bonfire
A: Death Blow/Fury
B: Desperation
C: Threaten Defense
S: Quickened Pulse
Since your Leon is +Attack/-HP, he'll get into the Desperation range easily and score more kills. If you don't like the damage from Fury, then Death Blow is a great skill for Leon and he'll have 55 attack when he initiates. Threaten Defense will help him score more kills.
The assist and special skills are up to you, but I prefer Draw Back for ranged units like Leon and Ignis is a better Bonfire. Moonbow could work, but I prefer Ignis or Bonfire here. Quickened Pulse will be helpful in modes like Chain Challenges and Tempest Trials.

Spoiler: Set B

Weapon: Brave Bow
Assist: Draw Back
Special: Luna/Moonbow
A: Life and Death/Death Blow/Swift Sparrow
B: Desperation
C: Threaten Defense
S: Quickened Pulse
Basically your typical Brave Bow set. The thing with Leon is that his defense is pretty high, so Life and Death sacrifices it in favor of a more offensive playstyle. As a result, you need to change your special to Luna or Moonbow. If you don't have a unit to fodder for Life and Death 3, then Death Blow is a great budget option as that preserves his bulk. Swift Sparrow is also a great skill since it's basically L&D2 when he initiates without sacrificing his defense. Which, in that case, Bonfire is a better special.

As for Tharja, since you didn't mention her bane this skillset is amazing for her if she doesn't have a -Speed bane and the one that I run.

Spoiler

Weapon: Raurblade
Assist: Draw Back
Special: Moonbow
A: Life and Death/Death Blow/Swift Sparrow
B: Desperation
C: Threaten Res
S: Quickened Pulse
This is a hyper offensive Tharja set. As I mentioned before with Leon, you can run Death Blow if you don't have/want to use Life and Death; it depends on the availability of your units. Darting Blow isn't a bad skill, but you're better off with L&D or Swift Sparrow.
The rest of the set is self-explanatory; Desperation to make immediate followups and Threaten Res to get more kills.
If you use Tharja on a team, I recommend you bring a buffer like Eirika, Ephraim, or Nohrzura (I prefer the former two since their buffs are immediate).

Forgot about Tharja. I just checked now. She's a +ATK and -RES. Not -SPD, which is good. Thanks for the tips anyway.

 

[Erureido]

Decided to change my avatar to a recent cool fanart of Takumi I've found on Pixiv. I thought it'd be the perfect time to do so to support my favorite FE character for his first Voting Gauntlet.

On a different note, I've been playing some FE: Heroes again, and my pulls have been... interesting to put it that way.

On the last day of the Performing Arts banner, I wanted to pull Performing Azura. I spotted a green orb and went for it, and I get...

Spoiler: The reveal...

Dammit Inigo! I like you and all (especially your Fates self), but I was trying to get Performing Azura, not you!

My Performing Inigo's IVs are +Def -HP. Seems like he got the best bane, but not the ideal boost.

Guess I'll still make use of him. I heard he makes one of the best Reinhardt and Brave Lyn counters in the game at the moment, so that's something to look forward too.

And just today, I decided to go for another summon. Nekomata Sakura is the one that I want the most, so when I saw three silver orbs, I immediately went for the top one. Got a Rebecca, so then I went with the second one. The result:

Yep, Halloween Jakob. Second time the other banner character of a given orb trolls me by being the one that is summoned instead of the actual silver orb character I wanted. Guess that Nekomata Sakura has to wait for the time being...

My Halloween Jakob got +Def -Atk for his IVs. Good IV boost, but ouch at that bane. Still, I think I'll train him up anyway for that potential Armor Emblem team.

 

[Nah]

Guess I'll still make use of him. I heard he makes one of the best Reinhardt and Brave Lyn counters in the game at the moment, so that's something to look forward too.

He probably is yeah. Stick Gronnraven/Triangle Adept/Bowbreaker on most green mages and they make for a pretty solid blue mage+BH Lyn answer (it's what I do with and she works pretty well), and on top of that Inigo is a dancer, and everybody knows how great dancers are.

 

[Troykv]

No, it's all good. Just a bit surprised is all.

Okay :D

If you change your mind I can tell you about it, but it's okay if you don't want.

___

I have got Amelia in my search for Neko!Sakura in Trick or Defeat... but I want to wait right now before I spend more orbs; I'm almost sure the next week we'll know the next bunch of characters.

 

[Deleted member]

Yesterday I was feeling lucky and I really wanted Sakura and... well... I got her! Out of all of the units on the banner, she was the one I wanted the most, even if she wasn't the best unit.
Her IVs are +HP/-Speed. Honestly, while this may sound bad on paper, I am fine with the IVs on her. I want to use her A skill, so I plan on making her an enemy phase unit. I will either keep Guard or give her Quick Riposte, but she'll have to wait on the latter as Xander has been desperately asking for it for months.

That's actually a great IV spread for Inigo. While he doesn't want to lose HP, having a +Def boon means he will counter Brave Lyn. The set you want to run on him is Gronnraven with Triangle Adept and either Bowbreaker or Blue Tome Breaker (if you really want to counter Rein for the latter that is).
While I disagree that Inigo is an S+ tier unit just for being an anti-meta pick, he's definitely a unit that exemplifies "Don't judge a book by its cover."

 

[DarkAuraful]

Edit: Please disregard this post. Having a problem with embedding imgur at the moment. -_-'

 

[ZephyrZ]

While I disagree that Inigo is an S+ tier unit just for being an anti-meta pick, he's definitely a unit that exemplifies "Don't judge a book by its cover."

It's because he's anti-meta and a dancer. Dance is an extremely useful and versatile skill that can be used for all kinds of strategies. If it was just for being anti-meta, we'd have Boey in S-tier as well. He probably isn't really S+ tier material if you're unable to merge him, though. That super low BST will really hurt your arena score.

That super low BST will really hurt your arena score.

I get that Dance is an incredible skill and he's anti-meta, but I feel like his other stats are pretty mediocre otherwise. His best set with Gronnraven and TA3 makes him a pretty easy target for units like Ryoma and Black Knight.
He's anti-meta in the sense that he could take out two of the most powerful units in the game (Reinhardt and Brave Lyn), but running just one red unit will blow him away. He's versatile and anti-meta, but I wouldn't put him in S+ tier as he doesn't scream "oppressive" and I think his BST is too low to consider him S+ tier.
To me, an S+ tier unit is one that is offensively powerful, can easily be run on any team, has amazing stats, and has unparalleled utility on a team. I would put Inigo in the S-Tier for meeting 2/4 of the criteria, but he isn't that powerful and his stats aren't great.

If you want my opinions of who I think the S+ tiers are, I think they are:
Ryoma, Black Knight, Ike, Ayra, Sigurd, Effie, Reinhardt, Hector, Brave Ike, Amelia, Brave Lyn, Bridelia
I used to think PA!Azura was an S+ tier unit, but after some thinking... she doesn't exactly meet my criteria. Her boosted sing ability makes her amazing and the best dancer to bring for BHBs and GHBs. She meets 3/4 of my criteria; she just isn't too offensively powerful, especially in an OHKO meta like this.
If anyone is interested in my opinions, I am happy to share them.

 

[Armagon]

Ryoma, Black Knight, Ike, Ayra, Sigurd, Effie, Reinhardt, Hector, Brave Ike, Amelia, Brave Lyn, Bridelia

I disagree with Effie being S+ Tier. I mean, she CAN be S+ Tier with Skill Inheritance, but so can (mostly) everyone tbh. But that's not my main point. My main point is that the only thing Effie really has going for is high Def and Wary Fighter. Something Zephiel also has, except i'd sooner make Zephiel an S+ Tier instead of Effie because at least Zephiel has a Legendary Weapon.

Both are amazing with Distant Counter, of course, but Zephiel will hit harder.

If you notice, everyone you listed has Legendary Weapons except for Effie and Amelia. But Amelia, i'd rank S+ Tier because of Armor March.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Dancers are weird to place, honestly. No, none of them are offensively oppressive on their own, but pair 'em up with someone who is (like Reinhardt or Brave Lyn), and they give a huge boost to their partners oppressiveness. I have to be able to ORKO the ranged horses in the arena, or else a dancer will hop in with Wings of Mercy and someone on my team will be dead. I'm way more scared of three horses with one dancer then I am of a team of four horses.

I disagree with Effie being S+ Tier. I mean, she CAN be S+ Tier with Skill Inheritance, but so can (mostly) everyone tbh. But that's not my main point. My main point is that the only thing Effie really has going for is high Def and Wary Fighter. Something Zephiel also has, except i'd sooner make Zephiel an S+ Tier instead of Effie because at least Zephiel has a Legendary Weapon.

Effie the single highest attack stat in the game, sitting at 40. That's 43 with a boon, which is just insane. Even if "all characters are S+ tier with SI", Effie is in a class of her own with it. She can use a Brave Lance+ to destroy anything she touches or, if you're really rich(or lucky), distant counter to make the ultimate counter attacker. And yes, having a Brave Lance+ on her is totally possible for a free to play player to. It's an investment, but it's still something almost anyone can do, thanks to hero feathers and common fodder like Donnel.

If I were to make any argument against her, it's that her movement of 1 keeps her Brave Lance from really being that threatening on Arena Defense. Even then, that can be worked around with Armor March or Guidance.

 

[Astellius]

Just reached 100k points in the Tempest Trials, and I have a newfound appreciation for the continuous auto-battle mechanic. I decided to celebrate with a few summons from the Halloween banner, to see if maybe I couldn't pull Sakura or Nowi. The result?

Spoiler

Well, that's pretty random, but I'll take it!

I'll respond to the posts about the character tiers probably tomorrow.

So does auto-battle actually work? I dunno, it feels unreliable for the later stages.
