Fire Emblem: The Discussion Thread (keep FE Fates story under spoilertags)

[PsychoIncarnate]

Anyone happen to know when characters like Priam and Aversa, etc are going to be available?

 

[~Firefly~]

The paralogues with bonus characters seem to be released every 2 weeks or so. We've got 2 so far out of a total of 6, and I think the 2 you listed are the last ones to be released.

 

[KayB]

I can't tell if Libra sucks or I'm just bad at this game.

Also, I'm wondering how I should level up Nah. Should I...

• Give her Dragonstone+ and be done with it,

• Second-class her to Mercenary to get Armsthrift (despite a current 19 luck stat) and then Sol when I upgrade to Hero then second-class her back to a manakete and give her Dragonstone+,

• Or second-class her to a Myrmidion for Vantage and then upgrade to Swordmaster for Astra and then re-class her back to a Manakete and giver her a dragonstone+?

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I can't tell if Libra sucks or I'm just bad at this game.

He's a pre-premote so it's only natural that he lags behind in the long run.
That being said, he has pretty decent stat growths for a pre-promote and for a healer has pretty amazing bulk.

I ended up using him at first then dropping him for brady instead.
He ain't bad, but he's nothing special in the long run.

Go the Sol route, imo. Sol is too good.

 

[Ussi]

Say'ri is a good unit, despite being a pre-promote. i like going to level 15 as swordmaster then making her an assassin.

But even his other classes suck imo (having Dark Knight, Sage, and Sorcerer as options aren't exactly great since Libra isn't really a magical unit and only uses Axe as a cleric. I mean if Beserker or Great Knight was a choice...). It's really annoying, and I've decided to keep him as a War Cleric even after getting to Lvl 15.

Also... what's with DLC? How often does it get released? If weekly, does it release on a certain day each week?

 

[Mr. Johan]

Based on the updates so far, DLC comes out on Thursdays.

So, about the Spotpass Paralogues. They're only available for one playthrough and can't be used again, ever? Because that's how I'm understanding it...

If so, that's kind of a slap in the face for those who want to use those Spotpass characters over and over, lol.

 

[KayB]

Based on the updates so far, DLC comes out on Thursdays.

But none was released this Thursday, right? That, or my internet is trolling me.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I finally got around to using the Wrath/Resolve combo on Ike against Ashnard. I didn't realize he would one round knock out medallion-ashnard. One hit and a critical lol

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I've got 3 generations of Taguel in my game.

In the next game, I'm going to marry Aversa so I can get her ability. I like the idea of being able to use Dark Magic as any class, I think I can make something work with that

 

[Ussi]

Dark magic as any tome using class*

I'm pretty sure you can play the chapter again on a new playthrough, like with Renown rewards you should just need to go to the wireless menu and unlock it.

But none was released this Thursday, right? That, or my internet is trolling me.

This Thursday was EXPonential Growths, the pack accidentally released it a week early but it just showed up as an individual purchase.

We still had spotpass, Shadow Dragon characters and Paralogue 19

 

[Ussi]

I'm thinking of doing a spotpass character only run for the heck of it.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Speaking of Spotpass characters, my friend likes Nino so he recruited her. She ended up having equal HP and Speed for most of her level ups, which was funny to us (43 HP and Speed at one point).

 

[Raziek]

I'm not quite finished grinding for max Stats/skills yet, but here are the 5 units I'd consider my best:

Spoiler

Raziek is being prepped for Demon Fighter (I have Axefaire which I forgot to re-equip, and I'm getting Sol currently).
Inigo is pretty set, just might mess around with grinding out a skill to replace Luna. Maybe Lethality/Pass.
Nah will have a short stint as a Griffon Rider to grab Deliverer (replacing Aptitude), and Patience will be swapped for a breaker skill. Max Luck + Armsthrift will have her using all the best weapons once I get her to A in Axes.
Morgan is virtually invincible as it is, using the Wrath + Vantage + Armsthrift + Vengeance combo w/ Forged Aversa's Night (That'd be Naglfar, in the photo). Need to get the rest of her stats topped off and she's done.
Severa is just a matter of capping out what's left of her stats.

 

[~Firefly~]

asdf

Aleate's team is trolling me right now. I had Kjelle paired with Owain to take an attack from Olivia on the first enemy phase...who would have done no damage, but she had a Brave Sword and Lethality, which she activated with 10% activation. Owain support blocked it like a boss...only to have Olivia activate Lethality AGAIN to KO Kjelle. Then, because she had Galeforce, she was able to kill my Lucina (who had just survived an onslaught of Brave Sword/Astra BS from her counterpart thanks to Pavise and KOed her back with a meaty Aether and some help from Noire) with a THIRD activation of Lethality. -.-

 

[zyth]

o man. the golden gaffe dlc map gives you sooooooooooooooo much gold. easiliy gives you at least 150k. no worries for money after that. and there is an xp map. if you want to easily get levels and money get those.

 

[Reizilla]

This game is more difficult than I thought it would be.

Virion and Miriel carried hard the first 12 or so chapters, but since then, one or both have been dying every chapter -.-

 

[Mr. Johan]

Lost Bloodlines 1 is crazy hard unless you have a few promoted units.

I can't wait until Lost Bloodlines 3 gets released.

 

[telemaster]

imo virion and miriel are pretty awful, i only used virion to support sully cause i thought the support convos were funny.

 

[Ussi]

Miriel isn't too bad but you kinda want to not make her a dark mage when you want to get tomefaire from the sage route. Not class changing to another base class slows you down soo much unless you have super level ups al the way up to level 20

Although for practical purposes if you can forgo the whole tomefaire skill till endgame. Make her a dark mage to sorcerer to sage to sage/sorcerer

Archers suxor. 1 range bow plox. They do have good pair bonuses though.. Nothing compared to a berserker's +10 str +8 speed

 

[Lythium]

Miriel was always pretty decent for me. Virion sucked until I reclassed him, and then he became godlike somehow.

 

[Raziek]

So I went ahead and finished my first run after 86 hours of play time and getting my characters to the point where my perfectionist OCD was satisfied with it.

Gold: Olivia
Silver: Raziek (MU)
Bronze: Nah

I stand by my initial impressions that this is the best Fire Emblem (that I have played, haven't played 2/4/5) currently existing.

Unbelievably well-polished game.

 

[KayB]

Yeah definitely the best and most polished FE game so far which is saying something since Rekka no Ken and Path of Radiance set up a pretty high bar.

 

[Frostwraith]

From what I know from Awakening, it seems that this FE takes character customization to a whole new level.

I'm looking forward for this game very much. My first FE was Radiant Dawn, which was quite challenging, but had character availability issues that I didn't like very much. Liked the idea of having several different armies to play (Daein, Crimea and Greil Mercenaries) before converging.

Nintendo of Europe and the European retailers better not screw up with the release like what happened in NA.

 

[Minato]

I'll try to finish up the game this week. Got sidetracked with all the support convos.

 

[Lythium]

I somehow ended up with a really godlike Kjelle. :3

I don't like Gerome very much though, he's probably gonna get reclassed.

 

[Rutger]

Owain was my most used second gen unit. It helped that both his parents were strong members of my team, so he inherited good stats as well as Galeforce(Lancebreaker too, which was nice to have on a Swordmaster) so he was usable from the start.

Lucina and Morgan were the only other second gen characters I used. Morgan was becoming great towards the end, but the Avatar was doing a better job overall.

 

[---]

Kinda getting bored waiting for new spotpass and DLC, am mostly just working on reclassing units in order to get skills.


Also this probably needs testing, but I may have discovered that if you use a Rift Door on Origin Peak it summons an Anna with 3 random Stat Boosts (stuff like the Seraph Robe) for sale. Let me know if this works for someone else or if I just got really really lucky twice in a row.

EDIT: Nevermind, I feel dumb for not noticing this on the SF site.

 

[Raziek]

By the end of the game my street pass team ended up being almost entirely children, cause I min-maxed the **** out of them.

My 10 for Street Pass:

Raziek (MyUnit)
Olivia
Chrom
Severa
Inigo
Lucina
Morgan
Noire
Nah
Lissa (Healbot)

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Oh god I just realized I've been training 8 for my street pass team rather than 10...
who to chose who to chose...
my current are
Chrom - Great Lord
Sumia - Falcon Knight (acting healer)
Gaius - Assassin
Ruarik - Me, Grandmaster
Inigo - Bow knight
Severa - Hero
Morgan - Grandmaster
Stahl - Paladin

 

[Raziek]

I am currently planning the Looney Run.

Hoo boy.

 

[KayB]

Has anyone found any good use for Libra yet?

 

[Raziek]

Nope.

Seems like a bad Lucius knock-off to me.

 

[Reizilla]

I use him as my second healer because I either reclassify all of my other ones to not be healers or just didn't train them. Except for Lissa.

 

[zyth]

so i tried to get Lyn today and decided to send stahl in to fight her. I had paired stahl up with cordelia(cuz they make beautiful music together) and lyn activated Astra. I thought i was ****ed till cordelia blocked all five hits. Pairing up units is too op

 

[nessokman]

Fredrick and the main characters support! On the one where you get A, he says my body is ready

 

[Mr. Johan]

I'm using Libra as my only decent Bolt Axe user, b/c why not. I'm also using him as one of two magic walls, along with Maribelle.

I'm liking the special conversations the characters have with DLC past-hero characters more and more. Henry asking Dierdre if she wants to go out with him and go grave robbing is my favorite so far.
