Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[Wario Bros.]

The 4.0 Switch update has another perk that Nintendo didn't mention for some reason: The Switch now supports wireless USB headphones (both docked and undocked)

 

[Opossum]

Y'know, I originally planned to buy Warriors.
I'm very new to the franchise so the lack of characters from old games didn't bother me, though I can see why people would be upset over it.
But with how they're basically releasing an 85% game and locking the rest behind a pay wall AND add OLIVIA of all the Awakening characters they could choose, I lost interest.

Characters that I care about in Warriors:

Spoiler

Chrom
Lissa
Frederick
Robin
Cordelia
Owain
Takumi
Oboro
Sakura
Leo
Niles

...Yeah, not enough reason for me to buy this game. Not at the slightest.

I...don't really see what's wrong with Olivia, honestly. She just seems like a strange thing to get worked up about.

Plus, didn't people WANT more unpredictable/non-obvious additions?

I don't have a problem with Olivia.
I just hate the fact this game is full of waifubaits (I hate this word, but I can't think of anything better) and if I wanted something "Unpredictable" I'd rather have Kellam.
and also because henry is not in the game. 0;/10 would not buy.

 

[DarkAuraful]

How is it that I forgot that some of the remixes were in the FE Warriors map for FE Heroes? Whoops my bad -_-'

And yeah now that I think about it. Those remixes were alright imo.

 

[Deleted member]

The only characters I legit care about in Warriors are Takumi, Robin, Lyn, Oboro and... that's it.
I hate how they elevated the one thing everyone hates about Fates and Awakening's animations up to eleven in Xander's moveset despite me liking his character.

I really hope we get a FEW2 in the future with Elibe characters and hopefully BK if they do Tellius.

OH YEAH WE STILL DON'T HAVE ARMORS **** ME

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Characters I care about in Warriors

Spoiler

Awakening cast sans Tharja
Marth
Lyn
Celica
Anna
Ryoma
Xander
Leo
Takumi
Minerva
Tiki
Oboro

Always look on the bright side of life~



$9 each.
Season pass is $20.

Hm as much I would like them to be free, I know thats not how it works and 9 bucks for single and 20 bucks all together isnt that bad

 

[Opossum]

Ones I care about in the game:

Marth
Caeda
Tiki
Minerva
Linde, despite not being Merric, and I swear I'm not bitter, nope
Celica
Lyn
Chrom
Lucina
Robin
Frederick
Lissa
Cordelia
Olivia
Owain
Ryoma
Takumi

That's more than good enough for me. Yeah, I'd have liked to see some other SD/Awakening/Fates characters (mainly Merric, Draug, Barst, Virion, Sumia, Felicia, and Yukimura, and especially Merric and Virion), but hey, I got all those other characters. Not to mention the lack of art for Draug, Barst, and Yukimura (which they said was a requirement) and the lack of daggers for Felicia would have further trimmed my list, haha.

Plus the music is great (minus the lack of an Ablaze version for Divine Decree) and the gameplay looks solid, and the supports are mostly great. Definitely buying it when I get a Switch/10.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Tharja is in, good they didn't mess up. Disappointing though that the Awakening Pack is the last one, I'll have quit playing long before then I assume, but I guess it might be enough to revisit it briefly. Owain is the only other one I care for and he's also in March. Sigh.

A bit sad they really went with no shuriken/dagger users, they could've stuck out visually quite a bit and there's some good choices to pick from. Oh well, I'm sure I'll enjoy the game for what it is.

I suspect Ryoma will be my go-to whenever possible. Camilla, Frederick, and Xander as back-up options, maybe Leo too.

 

[praline]

Fates waifu and Awakening waifu are dlc so now I can breathe easy.

 

[Wolfie557]

I don't know why Linde and also wheres Kagori but ill accept Niles hes rrly cool.

In other news, i made a indie smash roster cos i'm not impressed by the indie fighting collaborations except the Drifter and Ori + Sein DLC's.

 

[Deleted member]

Wait, when did they say this? And, like, they all do even then. Yukimura's just hasn't been revealed because god knows what is going on with IS

 

[Arcanir]

I don't know why Linde and also wheres Kagori but ill accept Niles hes rrly cool.

Linde's probably there because of her connection to Gharnef and decent popularity along with her being the original wielder of Aura. While you could make the argument over whether she should've gotten in over Merric, she's still a very solid pick due to being one of the game's more standout characters.

Looks like we both got what we wanted in the game

So, FE Nerds, what do you do when the day and series is not working with you? Find something to laugh at regarding said day and series.

Edit: Rawr! Why did we not get Ronin Genji for Overwatch Halloween?

 

[Opossum]

I remember Coricus bringing it up but I can't remember which interview it was.

 

[Mythra]

The hype for Fire Emblem Warriors has gone from 0 to 100 to 0 to 100 to 0 so often that we could call the game Fire Emblem Sine at this point.

 

[Erureido]

Glad to see Minerva is making it into the game. Olivia was a surprise, but I like her character, so I'm okay with her being among the DLC characters. I still wish Oboro, Owain, Niles, and Navarre were in the base game.

All the characters that I care for in the FE: Warriors roster:

Takumi
Hinoka
Sakura
Oboro
Niles
Chrom
Lissa
Frederick
Olivia
Minerva
Caeda

Sure it's not the full roster, but I'm still looking forward to trying this game. I mean, Takumi being in was the main deal-breaker for whether or not I'd get the game, and now that he is in... yep, the game has my purchase.

Unironically though, people need to stop bullying Arden for being the free unit instead of Ayra. Because that isn't even the real issue anyway.

Arden is a good boy.

PickAShoe vs Drumpf is the anime battle we deserve.

Yeah I’m happy you got Niles. I never really thought he had a chance. Shows what I know, eh?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

OMG my white mage could have been casting Fire this entire time with his fire staff and I just made him defend unless I needed healing

 

[allison]

I think Fire Emblem is the least chill Nintendo fandom, which is saying a lot coming from a Metroid fan. (The most chill Nintendo fandom is undeniably Kirby.)

(Animal Crossing is second-most chill, Super Smash Bros. is second-least.)

 

[Coricus]

I have so few Fire Emblem characters I like that it's difficult to even tank the game on that basis. I've played three FE games and guess which ones they picked?

I mostly just care about FemRobin, Caeda, Minerva, and GoodTiki, but other than Merric all the characters anyone else wanted I didn't care about either.

Like, I wanted Bantu, Yarne, and Hayato. Like I even had a chance at getting most of my preferences.

Mostly just want to shrug and enjoy the game in peace whenever it arrives at this point.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Half the RPG's I play I grind for experience

The other half I grind for money

FF is a grind for money type of game. At least at this point

Strong enough for the next area but my equipment sucks because it's expensive

Edit:

Since job levels level up by performing a number of actions...

I can just defend a bunch of times to level it up quicker

More cinnamon for me, I guess. Don't worry, Tiki, I'm sure you'll do a great job for Mar-Mar today!

It bothers me immensely that Adult Tiki still talks about him that way in Heroes.

Too lewd.

Also daily reminder that Chapter 26 Lunatic Conquest is not OK.

Wait till you see Endgame :^)

Entrap Hans after clearing the first room, there's a spot where you can actually do it, just don't do it in a Hex Rod turn and be careful because Hans has Counter
The Mages in the right room won't attack you through the walls so just put everyone you can in their front door and blitzkrieg their asses

She even popped a confused Mar-Mar at Lucina in Awakening before being corrected.

I'm pretty sure it's because she was literally passed out from the time she was a little kid and Marth was still alive to the time the Awakening squad woke her up with very little actual time to gain maturity from experience. She's constantly knocked out so she won't go crazy, that ironically can't be good for her having a grip on things.

Now's a good time to enter a blackout if you want to avoid spoilers and leaks and stuff.

I know that but it's the first part I can't get without anyone dying because the maid has a Hexing Rod with infinite uses.

I tried using Sing-Shelter strats after busting the door open to draw the enemies in through the door and keep everyone out of Hexing Rod range but it's impossible for me to get Azura out safely.

Then again, I suppose I might not even need her after this chapter if Birthright is anything to go by. And I honestly doubt that I will do anything with this Conquest file when I'm finished.

Also I honestly find the side with all of the monsters way easier. Tried throwing Xander/Benny pair-up in solo and yeah they barely do a thing to him, and he's stocked up on Vulneraries so I can just turtle some turns if I need to, or use Physic with Felicia or Elise. Corrin, Silas and Marth could help him clean up too if I wanted. Meanwhile the side with all of the mages is impossible for me because even if I throw my units with a lot of Res in there, they get enfeebled and frozen by the maids and the mages give each other attack stance buffs so they actually do damage, and my high Res units also have less HP.

---------------------

Also y'all can get a game (called ICEY - seems like a pretty cool 2D action game with an anime artstyle) and a Steam Link for under a tenner right now. There are shipping charges though, but that varies by region.

The Steam Link on it's own is normally $49.99 so this is a steal.

Gonna get my last minute prediction in for posterity's sake in that case.

Spoiler: Prediction, but I'm spoiling it because I'm that confident lol

Final battle will take place on the moon.

...Ignore the fact that many others have made that prediction.

For those who own an 8Bitdo controller, they no longer work on the Switch as of version 4.0

No word from either Nintendo or 8Bitdo whether or not this will be fixed.

 

[Deleted member]

Decided to train up Arvis, I'mma 5* him and put him on standby for my third team.
All else I have on 4* and 5* are Red or Green units so I don't think I'll be completing it anytime soon but I need to make use of those Warriors maps while they're still around
And once the TT drops I'm totally doing the same to the other for a +1 and possibly +2 Arvis

What you want to do is Player Phase as much as possible, kill the Maid after busting the door open and make a wall with tanky units(you mentioned Xander and Benny so you can likely cover most holes with them).
And trust me, you WANT Azura for the last map.

Seriously? I find the left side hell because almost all of them have Savage Blow and Poison Strike so unless I can ensure no one deals at least 1 damage to my units, I can't send them there. A d don't even get me started on those Stoneborns, ugh.
Oh yeah, and the Entrap Maid down below, **** her.
I personally find the right side easier because Mages are easier to kill with physical hits(and I barely ever use the Mages in Conquest and instead rely on the magical weapons for Res targetting). I've had a lot of times where I failed to kill them all in one turn but usually I can manage them.

And the secret to the last room is poking from behind the doors, Xander pulled a lot of work the last time because the Generals have Horseslayers and the Berserkers have Hammers aka Effective Weapons Against Your Only Tanks

the thing about mario odyssey is that even if the final battle is where everyones thinking it is were all still going to lose our minds over it being there

I sent Xander/Benny pair-up in before any level ups (I think he gets 2, both with Def gains), and:

-Faceless deal 4 damage
-Stoneborns with Massive Rock deal 7

Can't recall if the Stoneborns with Rock dealt more or less than the Faceless but either way they weren't an issue.

My Xander has a lot of HP (near 50 IIRC, second only to Marth who for some reason has about 52 HP and gets another HP gain mid-map here), so he can definitely take any hits that he needs to take here, especially since those Def gains mid-map are a thing. The monsters also have about a 50% or less hit rate on him so he also tends to dodge some attacks anyway. He also got two Crits on my test run against the Faceless. While I sent everyone else to the mage hall to see how that would go, having them help Xander on the monster hall at the start of it would speed things along. Either way, Xander is fine for this even on his own with just the Benny pair-up (which is all I really use Benny for honestly, especially at this point in the game). Plus my Camilla has Defense Rally so that would bring the Faceless damage to 0 even before his Defense gains.

I'm just having difficulty rushing the Maid at the start. Nobody one rounds her unless they Crit and the only way to get in range of her on turn 1 is to get into the range of the maid who has Entrap in the mage hall. I have no Rescue staffs left because of bad RNG in Chapters 23 and 24, and I don't have Silence staffs, so that's not even an option either. Corrin can actually potentially dodge the Entrap (as could Marth) and Corrin can potentially survive the initial mages if he does get entrapped but all of the Hero units have Wyrmslayers so I'm screwed if Corrin leaves himself open there.

I'll play around a little more and see if there is anything I can do.

Really? We've already had a final Bowser fight at the center of the universe, so at least conceptually, there is nothing inherently grand about a moon fight.

I mean I'd hope it's a fun level/fight and executed well but conceptually it's sorta whatever.

it more has to do with moon fight generally being super hype, the center of the universe is just a vauge area in space the moons recognizeable meaning you can get a really cool shot of the earth in the background

I highly doubt a moon fight in a Mario game is gonna be comparable to the likes of Asura's Wrath, haha.

You'll just jump on Bowser's tail three times or something and that's it.
