Work In Progress Fire Emblem Heroes: Finally found Forrest, MIA since 2017

[Erureido]

I went for colorless because I wanted either Halloween Jakob, Halloween Sakura, or NY!Takumi

Ended up getting another Halloween Jakob, and he got a much better nature too! The new one is +Atk -HP, while my old one is +Def -Atk. I feel tempted to using the new one, but I don't have Bold Fighter fodder at the moment, so I'll probably end up using the new one to merge with the old one.

I just realized that despite all the interesting stuff, we got no demotes.....

C'mon, Luke and Mist have been stuck in the 5-star section for too long.

Now that you mention it, that is quite surprising they announced no demotes for the 2nd anniversary.

This is starting to get ridiculous at this point with the amount of 5-stars reaching even more bloated numbers.

 

[Mythra]

iirc they did demotes on last April (pretty much around when I started playing, saving me from getting Merric'd lul) So it should be the same case this year.

On the other hand demotes will bloat the 3-4☆ making harder to pull good fodder like Selena, Klein or Cain
At this point they should create a "Pool B" or simply remove some units and put them on the Grail Shop

Just a brief reminder that the changes on the summoning pool didn't happen on the 1st anniversary, rather on a FEH channel in April. So maybe we can expect the demotion then.

But even then they have to fix more than that to be honest, and I don't know if simply demoting people from 5 star is the solution. Don't get me wrong, I agree people like Mist and Luke have no business in the 5 star pool, and I personally want Lyn to be demoted to +10 her. But taking out all this units from the 5 star pool would fill the 3-4 star pool, making really difficult getting stuff while summoning (it's already difficult as it is). Many people I'm sure would rather get Hinata or Selena rather than any of the potential demotes from the 5 star pool. And honestly I don't know how to fix it, maybe making two different pools and when summoning you choose the one you prefer? Maybe making use of the 1-2 star rarities and taking characters to a "Free daily summon" pool in those rarities?

Well I got ninjad, that almost the same I just wrote, Imma post it either way because I already typed it, but get off my head Mythra lmao.

Abyssal Tiki in one turn:

ChikoLad False Sense

. . . . .

My fee summon from the seaonal thing was Summer ATiki. Really not sure what to do with her, as I don't use seasonals and she doesn't really have great fodder.

On better news, I got a flying Nino and an extra merge for Minerva of the daily banner.

Gotta save orbs for Hinokas banner to get her some merges and hopefully a +Spd nature.

 

[Moydow]

My free pull got me bride Cordelia.

This is my "unimpressed" face.

 

[ChikoLad]

Let's gooooo, Freddybear!

I didn't really know who I actually wanted so I picked colourless to get Summer Frederick or Cat Sakura.

 

[False Sense]

I got a Summer A!Tiki. I already have one I never use anyway, so I guess she's Melon fodder?

Not actually that bad, all things considered. I like having access to weird seasonal weapons as fodder, so I can probably use this for something fun down the line.

Now if only I had an axe unit I was interested in building...

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Now if only I had an axe unit I was interested in building...

Do you have Minerva? You should build Minerva.

 

[False Sense]

Yes I have Minerva.

I'm fine with how she is now.

Not a 1-turn, but I managed Lyn's abyssal. :v

In a not completely obvious attempt to save Melonbae I say, build her :V

A Wo Gùn build can sinergize with Sol nicely coupled with her high Atk and Def making her sustainable.
Or use the Melon to get into Brazen range quicker and run Brazen Atk/Spd and Brazen Atk/Def seal for Desperation Bonfire nukes.


Also the Melon is flat out powercrept by Beach Banner

-Have you recently compared her stats to Libra?

I have both Summer Corrin and Summer Camilla with practically the same Blarblade+ set and both positive IVs. And despite Summer Corrin being inferior to Summer Camilla, both are very useful, especially for doing Chain Challenges and Squad Assaults. And I have a Summer Tana just waiting for a Raourblade+.

 

[False Sense]

So, here's a question. With the introduction of Dragonflowers, who would be the first unit from each movement type that you'd invest in?

For me, it'd probably be:

Infantry: M!Robin

Infantry is a really competitive class for me, and there's a lot of units I'd love to invest Dragonflowers in, like F!Corrin, F!Robin, and M!Morgan. But knowing that these flowers are probably going to be pretty limited and infantry units are going to be extra pricey, I gotta stick with my favorite. Between Dragonflower buffs and my Summoner Support, he'd hit some pretty insane stats overall, including a base Spd of 40. He's already one of my most reliable units, and I can't wait to make him even stronger.

Flying: Aversa

This one for me really comes down to either Aversa or F!Grima (I mean, doing both isn't out of the question, but sticking with one for now). But I think Aversa edges out because she's way more merged up than my F!Grima, and because of Aversa's Night, she scales up really well with stat boosts. Any extra points in HP makes her global debuffs all the more potent, and with how much I use her in Aether Raids, investing in her just makes sense.

Armored: Winter Robin

Either him or M!Grima, but Wobin gets a little more value out of every stat than M!Grima does, plus getting +1 to all stats gives him a lovely base 40 Def and 30 Res to work with (seeing him at 39/29 is just annoying).

Cavalry:

...y'know, I don't actually have a cavalry unit I've significantly invested in.

Maybe I should find one for a merge project...

IDK about other movement types but I'll probably spend some on Hinoka and Morgan. They could use the stat bumps to be more valuable for Abyssal clears. :v

Yo, this update is lit

Eliwood's Durandal also will get a refine.

 

[Ivander]

Nice to see alot of Year 1 units get some new weapons/refines. Still a bunch of Year 1 units missing a Prf, but this is a good number.

That said, Seth fans be like:

Yo, this update is lit

Eliwood's Durandal also will get a refine.

>No Audhulma refine
Disgusting
>Nino Prf
>Actual Durandal refine
OH WORM?

 

[Mythra]

>No F!Corrin Prf
>Hinata but no Hana

 

[Deleted member]

Highlight of the update is Nintendo caring at least 0.01% about their Brazilian fans

 

[Mythra]

>The Lava and Spring Breeze maps from AR are getting nerfed.

Eat ****, horses.


>The closer the Hero is to their release date, they'll receive more Dragonflowers

Well, ****

This update feels bigger than 3.0.0 :V
It has a big scummy screwup but at least is mostle nice.

 

[Erureido]

For the past few days of the Legendary Hero banner, I've been trying to pull for Duma because he'd make my "last stand tanky unit" for my Aether Raids defense team with my lack of Surtr. Almost every time I tried to pull for Duma, I sadly had Summer Linde show up instead. To be more precise, Summer Linde ended up stealing my Duma pulls THREE TIMES. It's reached the point I now have a 40+4 Summer Linde for no reason whatsoever. Seriously, what is with Summer Linde showing up so often? The only 5 star I pulled from that banner then aside from her was Legendary Ike, which is okay considering I finally have Warding Breath fodder.

Just about an hour ago, I finally struck some nice luck with the LH banner. After getting another 20 orbs, I decided to go for a full round of summoning because there was one blue orb and four silver orbs: a perfect opportunity for a higher chance of pulling a 5-star from the silver orbs! What a magical set it turned out to be, because I got three five stars in that one summoning!

Two of them were my first copies of a certain Trickster:

And my last summon in that round was none other than:

YES!!!!! Duma came home!

^Visual proof of how the summoning round turned out!

But despite finally pulling Duma, I was saddened to learn my Duma got a really bad nature: +Spd -Res. He got the opposite asset and flaw he wants. What a bummer!

Guess this means I'll have to pull for another Duma to hopefully get one with a better nature or one that can remove this nasty Resistance flaw. If I don't get lucky pulling another Duma before his banner ends, I decided that I'll use the current Duma I pulled as Bold Fighter fodder for the +Atk -HP Halloween Jakob I pulled yesterday.

What to do with Loki on the other hand... much tougher decision.

The first one I got has a +Atk -Spd nature, while the second one is completely neutral. On the one hand, I can easily merge the neutral one with the former to remove the speed flaw. On the other hand, Odd Attack Wave is a REALLY good C-skill, and it's the first time I've ever had access to someone who can fodder this skill.

So I just want to hear some input. Is it better to just merge the two Lokis, or should I hold onto the neutral one and fodder the other one for Odd Attack Wave?

My immediate thought is merge them rather than use one for Wave fodder, for two reasons:

1.) Loki is really good. She's a solid healer in her own right, but the real appeal of her is her weapon, which basically makes her a mobile Tactics Room. That's insanely good for Aether Raids since you can effectively shut down ranged threats and disrupt opponents strategies. That utility is really strong, and to top it off, the activation is based on HP, a stat that will get boosted with a single merge.

2.) Wave skills are technically good, but they're a luxury item, and not necessarily the most efficient. If you're relying on them, you always run the risk of not having the buff when you need it, at which point running something like Tactics may be more effective overall. More importantly, the stat boost they provide can be acquired from other, more readily available sources, so the net gain from such a premium inheritance is relatively small.

 

[Ivander]

Like or hate Reinhardt, this interpretation of Reinhardt in Thrud's armor looks awesome.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblem...there_exists_a_cyl_reinhardt_in_thruds_armor/

Seriously, someone show that to Reinhardt's artist cuboon in hopes that cuboon uses it as inspiration if they do the art for Brave Reinhardt.

Infantry: Marth, Chrom, and Delthea. Not sure who I'll do first.

Flying: Clair, Laegjarn, and Kinshi Hinoka in that order. These three will be the first ones I do overall.

Armoured: Not too sure because I don't use armours much. Probably Black Knight. Brave Hector, Winter Robin, and M!Grima might also be good for it.

Cavalry: NY!Laegjarn.

So the Feh comics celebrating FEH's 2nd Anniversary were translated:

Basically, Virion gets some respect as the oldest hero, Ylgr is still so innocent and interaction between Laegjern and Laevateinn is still adorable.

Opossum for due Virion respect. ChikoLad for more Laegjern.

[Mythra]

Damn I was close, Im sorry Canada


Also the new voting event has begun.
Gotta admit, getting the extra point was fun.

However not being able to choose the color in the actual banner is pure bull**** from I$'s part.
But after thinking it for a moment the banner becomes a normal one with the winners as focus, hopefully with Hero Fest rates.

 

[Ivander]

However not being able to choose the color in the actual banner is pure bull**** from I$'s part.

I don't see why they can't do a Brave Heroes deal where you can pick one of the four colors. Also, if their intention is to not let everybody automatically get the best units or more specifically, Legendary Azura, why still do it? I can understand the idea of Guaranteed 5-Star with the Seasonal Banners, since a Guaranteed 5-Star doesn't necessarily mean the one you want, but at least those are picked beforehand. The Find & Vote event, which is the players doing the picking, shouldn't be subject to RNG in the end.

Regardless, now it doesn't seem to be just picking the best character of each color, but also picking the characters who are both a great unit and great fodder in case you get the colors you don't want.

 

[False Sense]

However not being able to choose the color in the actual banner is pure bull**** from I$'s part.
But after thinking it for a moment the banner becomes a normal one with the winners as focus, hopefully with Hero Fest rates.

Not being able to specifically choose the hero we get from the free summon is pretty stupid. The situation as it is now was only made worse by the fact that this detail wasn't properly communicated the Feh Channel, so a lot of people have spent the last few days assuming they would be able to pick the color of their choice. This is effectively very similar to the Ayra incident; a lack of proper communication in an unprecedented situation leading to people getting their hopes up for something that wasn't going to happen.

It's not exactly all bad, though. Assuming the community actually votes in quality heroes (ideally Legendaries and powerful seasonals), then your free pull should still be an exceptionally good unit or extremely valuable fodder, and having the chance to summon all of them on the banner itself (something that was properly communicated) is a potentially good deal. Granted, that's somewhat dependent on the rates; if it's just a normal 4-unit banner, the rates for summoning aren't all that great. If it's a Hero Fest, though, then it's a fantastic opportunity to get some incredible units, especially if they're Legendary.

Personally, I'd leave feedback expressing disappointment. I'm doubtful they'll make any last minute changes to the free summon, but it's a good chance to tell IS how players feel about these types of practices. Hopefully they'll learn from this.

Infantry: A!Tiki since she is my favorite unit to use in the game who is fully merged and dragonflowers would make her even stronger. Though at the same time I am kind of tempted to do Anna first just cause.

Cavalry: Reinhardt...I guess? Every attack point count. Though I am also thinking about Camus.

Flier: Catria I guess to make her even more well rounded. Though really there are too many flying unit I would like to get extra stats

Armored: L!Tiki for the same reason as Catria, to make her stats more well rounded.

Also my free summon for 2017 seasonals was Spring Camilla. Thanks for nothing, IS. Can I send her back for 50 orbs instead?

 

[Mythra]

"Kay, I have 20 orbs, let's not waste them"
"Dude do a yolo"

Linde is -Atk+Def, but I wanted her just for merge, now my -Spd one will be fixed.

Duma is +Atk-HP

Infantry: F!Corrin

Being a Gen 1 Dragon with poor BST sucks so she benefits greatly from a +2 on all of her stats.
With the upcoming merge update + SS and the flowers she'll reach 56 HP, giving her a respectable bulk and Panic Ploy potential.

Flying: Aversa

Pretty much the same reasons. I also considered Caeda due her prf but Aversa's Night debuffs are just too good to pass.


Armored:

I really have no idea tbh; I roll my eyes every time I roll Sheena or Effie, BK is in Grail hell, and the only armor I would like to +10 is Amelia so... for the Glory of Duma I guess?

Calvary: Reinbro

To tackle those Abyssals
Ares is also an option, but dude avoids me like a plague.

Any predictions for the Valentines silhouettes?

Camilla again

The dude on the right looks like Ike and the sword on the left gives me heavy Tyrfing vibes.

Valentines Sigurd and Deidre would be ****in sweet

 

[Opossum]

Pls for the love of god pair him with Soren

The two most common ideas I've seen for the rightmost guy are Ike and Saber.

On one hand, Ike really should have a seasonal and Emblem Team at this point.
On the other hand, Valentian Valentines with one of my favorite SoV characters is too good to pass up.

 

[Pokechu]

I need it to be Saber.... ZADDY Embarrass

plus he's a cool character who is massively underrated
