Guide Zelda Social: But also the FE Heroes Internet Cafe

[ぱみゅ]

I played Shuffle for about a month and I liked the game but eventually I stopped
Is there a big disadvantage to playing on Mobile to 3DS? I'd much prefer a game like that on my phone when I can open it quick and easy

Mobile gets more hearts (lives) thanks to its friend system.
BUT
-Stuff costs more coins on mobile.
-Meowth's Stage (your main Coin source) may sometimes spawn rocks instead of coins, so you become unable to grind.

What about all those special events I see on Serebii? Do they all come back at some point? And is there any difference between special events on mobile and on 3DS?

 

[Ffamran]

Oh yeah, I forgot about this.

Spoiler: It's Barst time!

Barst and Shulk would totally get along. Part of me is sad to see Shulk reduced to a meme, though.

FE:H stuff: Slowly getting the starter units up to speed again after promoting them. Really need at least Sharena and maybe Virion around level 21 since she's my only blue unit and having a decent anti-air would be good. Alphonse could be benched, but part of me wants to have the three main heroes to always be strong, Anna's a favorite character, so she's going to be used regardless of her fickleness, and Matthew's Matthew I guess. 5 more orbs. Just 5 more and I can summon and hope there's at least one freaking blue orb. * cue all orbs being green and me ending up with 5* Camilla, Cherche, Beruka, Frederick, Hector, whoever's legendary or really good at +4* *

Also, desperation moves? Predictable.

 

[Lil Puddin]

this is what my life has come down to having to spend 10 stamina to get a 2 star wrys

10 Stamina to get the best healer and your husbando? That's a steal, tbh.

I don't get it. I thought you could only reroll the one time? Cause to reroll, you have to delete the game and start from scratch again.



I finally realized what looks wrong to me in those pictures.

That's not actually Ike. That's Barst.



He's a lumberjack and he's okay.



So basically...Legend of Zelda Tennis?

Ask Bara Ike is Ike, ofc. It's Ike if he actually didn't shave and embraced the bara man he truly is.

Ike hiding from his true self:

I really like Barst too. Like, most of the units in this are husbandos/waifus. So my BF was 100% correct, it's a husbando/waifu collector. My BF even kindly pointed out all the bulges the guys have, because, like, why not I guess? I rolled Barst at least 20 times by now.

Let's see... King of Evil and Prince of Tennis... King of Tennis, the sequel to Prince of Tennis and a canon entry to Zelda nobody wanted. Now, I guess Ganondorf would be playing left-handed and revealing he's not left-handed.

Also, speaking of a lumberjack... Lil Puddin eat your heart out.

Edit: Apparently phone screenshots are giant.

First time rolling a Tiki (adult). The others? Repeats from re-rolls with Azama disappointing me since I wanted Setsuna. At least he's Setsuna's co-worker? Anyway, all I need now is Arthur, Draug?, Hector, or Ike when he's eventually released and I'll have enough for a team bara. Problem: they'd all be like axe units with maybe a sword unit. That's also a problem with this second roll of this save file: I have 5 axe users and 7 green units.

I had gotten Hawkweye many times, mostly 5 star ones. I think a few 4 star ones unless I was mistaken. He's OK, but he's not what I'm going for. If I got him and a good healer/Felicia/decent units then I'd probably keep the roll.

I have pulled every character once except:
Hector
Takumi
Leo
Ryoma
Hinoka (is she even in this game?)

My FE Heroes curse is Clarine

I've gotten her like 4 times already

The worst part is that she's literally Zelda

She's one of the best healers, so she's actually good. Which is the opposite of Zelda Which is exactly like Zelda!

[Cress!]

Y'know, maybe Cress's spirit animal is Libra.

I'd be fine with this tbh. Never actually used Libra in Awakening but the character was neat. Also Libra!Brady is the best magic user in the game and nothing can convince me otherwise.

Hinoka (is she even in this game?)

Ye. The only royal sibling from Fates that isn't obtainable yet is Xander (even though you fight him a billion times throughout the story but w.e.)

In terms of design, I really like Barst. It's clean and simple. He's like if Ike settled down and was a bit older. Also, the way Wada Sachiko drew his hair makes it look magnificent. The only thing I don't like is that I don't know if he's supposed to be wearing bandages over his armbands or he's wearing translucent armbands over his bandages. As a unit, I'm just peeved that I have so many axe units.

I had gotten Hawkweye many times, mostly 5 star ones. I think a few 4 star ones unless I was mistaken. He's OK, but he's not what I'm going for. If I got him and a good healer/Felicia/decent units then I'd probably keep the roll.

Hawkeye's a health machine just like in Blazing Sword.

Spoiler: Blazing Tangent

Pretty sure he, Pent, and sort of Louise are your pre-promotes who are actually good and there to make sure you aren't screwed because Bartre, Dart -- pretty sure you can get his promote item on the map Hawkeye, Pent, and Louise show up --, Dorcas, Erk, Hector, Lucius, Rebecca, Wil, and maybe Serra died along the way. This goes especially to Pent, however, since a leveled Erk is pretty on par with him which is rare for a pre-promote. The other pre-promotes I remember that are good are Geitz, Jaffar, and Karel. Although, Geitz is weird in a sense that he's more of an archer than a warrior so using him to replace Bartre, Dart, Dorcas, and Hector isn't great. Also, seriously? Who gets Hector killed? Man's a monster in the game. Anyway, Jaffar's there for Matthew and if you get him, Legault, who's pretty good in my opinion and one of my favorite characters in Blazing Sword. That said, since in Blazing Sword, if you promote a thief into an assassin, they lose their ability to steal and unlock stuff, so Jaffar's less of a replacement and more of a "combat-oriented variation". Karel's pretty much a replacement for Guy and Lyn. More so Guy than Lyn, though, considering their different promoted classes.

Anyway, Hawkeye's still a bronzed god, though. Eye candy for a lot of people. Gruff Gregor being MIA sucks. I don't know if Nowi even has any dialogue referencing him like how some of the others reference characters they know. Adult Tiki straight up says a line about "Mar-Mar" if you poke her. Still wished there were bishies like Lucius and Libra. Mostly Libra, though.

I have pulled every character once except:
Hector
Takumi
Leo
Ryoma

I'm starting to wonder if units have individual appearance rates. For example, of the 3, maybe Hector has the lowest chance to appear, Eliwood in the middle, and as Lyn's fairly well-known (because of Smash) and one of the focus characters, she has the highest chance. Anecdotes about random chance are useless, but I feel like that might be the case as I've summoned 5-7 or more 5* Lyn's during re-rolls, a couple of 3* Eliwood's more than 4* ones, and never have I summoned Hector.

Probably not the case and it's more of there's a little over a hundred units all split up into different rarities and whatever chance and random mathematics nonsense I don't want to delve into.

Hinoka (is she even in this game?)

Yeah, for you to kill her.

I'd be fine with this tbh. Never actually used Libra in Awakening but the character was neat. Also Libra!Brady is the best magic user in the game and nothing can convince me otherwise.

Libra's back story is neat, but sad when you learn more about it. Basically Lucius's looks, but Renault's history. Beautifully depressing. Still some humor, though, like his supports with Gaius and Virion.

Huh, while looking for some funny Libra and Virion images, this popped up.

Y'know, it kind of looks like a cover for an old romance anime. I kind of want a rom-com anime of this now. I can see it now: Virion falls in love with a beauty, Libra, only to realize that this gorgeous woman is in fact a gorgeous man. Distraught and confused he tries to figure out his feelings. His best friend -- it's a rom-com, not a war drama, so go with this -- Cherche advises him and encourages him to pursue Libra even though he is a man. Unsurprisingly for a rom-com, Cherche also falls in love with Virion and the story goes on from there. Who will win in this war of love?

I'm pretty sure the Pokémon and Stages are the same in both versions (they used to be different before), but costs are the main difference.

 

[Ffamran]

Hmm, Fire Emblem wiki compared the three starting heroes to other lords and ladies: Alfonse with Hector, Anna with Lyndis, and Sharena with Ephraim.

Spoiler: Alfonse rant

I can see it with Anna/Lyndis -- fragile speed demons -- and Sharena/Ephraim -- well-rounded, amazing units. Alfonse? Nah, can't see it. The slow part? Yeah. The strong part? Nope, Alfonse's defenses are at times lower than Sharena's or barely above hers and his offense is underwhelming when you consider his low speed. Hector is slow, but he's insanely powerful and durable. There's a reason why he's considered one of the best lords in Blazing Sword and arguably the series alongside Ephraim and Ike. I think there's another. Sigurd? Not including Corrin and Robin who are basically broken.

There's also the issue where his weapon and skills counter each other; his 5* star weapon, Folkvangr, gives him +5 attack when he's below 50%, but his activate skill, Daylight and Sol, restores HP. Anna should have had Daylight / Sol to counter her low defense while Alfonse should have had Night Sky / Astra. Alongside that, Alfonse should have had a unique version of the Defiant skill -- a combined version of Defiant Defense and Resistance -- to replace, in my opinion, Spur Attack or Vantage which would beg the question of what Anna should have. It would have totally worked with him being on the verge of death, but destroying everything until someone manages to actually do enough damage to kill him.

It's just odd that his design contradicts itself and it's frustrating to use him when a random, irrelevant unit like Selena or whoever else uses swords that is more of mercenary type straight up be more useful because they have a cohesive, if generic design. Dude, you're the freaking lord of the game. Why are you worthless compared to plot-irrelevant characters? Dear Nayru, I could pretend you didn't exist and Sharena was the lady of the game and it wouldn't change anything. Actually, it would make it better because Sharena's actually a good unit.

If anything, I feel like Alfonse is Roy and the earlier lord units. I'm pretty sure Marth in the original Shadow Dragon was a crappy unit compared to in Fates, Heroes, and maybe the Shadow Dragon remake. Unsurprising as it was the first game and the developers probably didn't want an OP unit. Problem is that RNG hates everyone. Anyway, Alfonse is basically, held back because of powers out of his control -- for him, skill set and for Roy, the fact he cannot promote until very late in his game -- and overall crappy stats.

Sharena as the female Ephraim unit is really good for a starting unit who is probably not supposed to be extremely good like Camilla, Hector, Marth, Takumi or whoever. Unfortunately, Ephraim will probably be better than her, especially if he's an infantry unit since if he's a mounted unit, it would be difficult to compare different units. The other thing is Speed+ skill isn't all that great. On the other hand, Fortify Defense, Rally Attack, and her 5* weapon's, Fensalir's, effect: -4 attack to units within 2 spaces around her, are fantastic allowing her to be both a buff and debuff unit. Anna's really fragile, but still good enough and unique. Speedy axe-wielding mage masher. Cool. And come on, who doesn't love Anna. (Those who don't love and worship our RNG Goddess shall be punished severely.) Alfonse is disappointing. At his point, I don't know if I just hate Alfonse or his design. Starting to feel it's both.

Quick Edit: I'm blaming Alfonse for making me rant again. Thanks, I like wasting time instead of being productive, Alfonse.

Edit: I find it karmic that after ranting about Alfonse, as a 3* unit, he's been putting in work. Also, Hawkeye and Virion share the same voice actor. Then that means they're voiced by Jamieson Price -- he's credited under Taylor Henry and I think Dan Woren in Awakening for Virion. Heh, Hawkeye is kind of like Nier.

2 3-star berukas when i already had a 3-star beruka and never even liked that character

a 4 star tharja that im actually pretty excited to use

and

I got me the cutscene for Marth

The Marth is 4-Star

Well I'm probably going to use the marth anyways

Yeah I noticed this earlier too. Really silly since the other characters seem to have (for the most part) well thought-out sets that compliment each other, but one of the main protagonists has a set that is just a mess? Maybe they were trying to make him have multiple options in a way? Where you have Sol to heal you up when you get low, but if you don't have it ready, you get a stat bonus? It still seems like a mess. Same with Mercy where her sole purpose is to heal people but her ultimate revives dead teammates AKA people who died from you not doing your single job even though it sometimes is better to not heal but it's just a mess yet I still main ha like a true Zelda main.
Anyways it's kind of a shame since his visual design looks interesting, bought his entire outfit on Miitomo actually.

Get to high rank in mh4u and have to fight a cephadrome.
"oh thats a monster I haven't seen before. I wonder what its like."

Watch the cutscene and sees that it looks like plesioth.

"maybe it has a different movese-"
*sand plesioth does a hipcheck*

**** plesioth
My favorite part is when plesioth and the mini plesioth can paralyze you and how they never come out of the ground when you run out of sonic bombs.

Sharena has multiple options; she has utility. Anna's a one trick pony. Alfonse has a conflicting design that could easily be dealt with. If they're going for the last stand type of character, then a defensive Defiant skill would have worked. Call it Defiant Armor and give him +5 def / res under whatever percentage of HP Defiant skills activate at. Or Vantage. If they want to go for a sustain design, then give him renewal or instead of Folkvangr giving him +5 atk, make it so it gives back 15% to 20% HP after a fight. Alternatively, just having better stats would work.

*looks at screenshot* Can I have Setsuna? I'll give you an Azama. It'll be like trade co-workers day.

I find it amusing that the previous two special map characters were Felicia and Wrys. Maybe not that cost effective, but considering everyone was given 10k feathers...

Speaking of Felicia, she's still and so adorkable. I love her goofy laugh. Also, did you know she's from the Ice Tribe of her world? Well, now you do. Of all the poke lines, that one's stuck in my head.

And speaking of spoken lines, y'know how everyone has a pre-battle line? Some are simple, some are kind of extravagant like Merric says something about winds heeding his call, and some are testosterone-poisoned like Hawkeye's is something along the lines of, "I'm... GONNA CRUSH YOU!" Anyway, my favorite is, unsurprisingly, Selena's. She screams: "Loser!" The way it's delivered as with most of Selena's quotes is amazing and hilarious. There's a stereotypical teenage girl vibe from it making it sound immature and hilarious that a medieval / Renaissance fantasy character is saying that. Julie Ann Taylor is an amazing voice actress.

[Ffamran]

Got bored and checked some of GameXplain's recent videos. Four heroes were revealed for FE: Heroes on a NicoNico stream. The two we already know are Eirika and Ephraim from The Sacred Stones. The other two are Julia and Seliph from Genealogy of the Holy War. Source is on GameXplain's video description which is this GoNintendo: http://gonintendo.com/stories/273789-fire-emblem-news-more-heroes-characters-on-the-way-tons-of-cip.

For the SS siblings, Ephraim looks like a Roman soldier to me. It's the leather skirt armor thing that I don't remember what exactly it's called. He had it in SS, but it seems more pronounced as Ephraim looks more heavily armored than in SS. Similarly, Eirika looks more heavily armored. She kind of looks like Zelda from Hyrule Warriors now. For the Genealogy heroes, both look really similar to their original art. Literally updated compared to Eirika and Ephraim who are a bit more redesigned and Marth and Roy who went through changes throughout the years -- noticeable with Marth who slowly was changed while Roy had a drastic redesign in Smash 4 which influenced his Heroes appearance. I'm really curious who their artists are.

I don't know anything about Genealogy, so nobody's popping up as a must have or want in Heroes. For SS, it's mostly Eirika and Ephraim because of the lord and ladies in Fire Emblem, they're unique as units. Eirika, Ike, and Lyn are the only different swordmanship lords; Eirika is a fencer, Ike is a "two-handed" swordsman -- more like he uses two-handed swords, but still swings them one-handed --, and Lyn is a katana swordswoman. For Ephraim, he, Hector, Micaiah, and Sharena are the only non-sword-using lords and ladies by default; they can gain access to swords like Ephraim and Hector, but don't start out or are implied to favor using swords like Corrin and I guess Robin if you consider Robin as another lord of Awakening. Anyway, Joshua (myrmidon), Gerik (mercenary), Lute (mage), Marisa (myrmidon), and Tethys (dancer) would be cool. Problem is that half of them are sword units and I don't think they would put in a unit who cannot attack or defend themselves at all. It wasn't until Olivia that dancers had access to weapons and I don't think they would retcon Tethys's inability to fight.

Oh, and it's a pain in the buttocks to level up Matthew and Virion. Matthew is unsurprisingly weak -- pretty sure all the thieves in Blazing Sword had relatively high strength, but still low compared to other units -- and Virion's resistance and speed suck, so he either doesn't kill people fast enough or he is in peril against every mage known to man. Part of the problem outside of having no weapon advantage except for Virion being an archer who is special effective against flying units -- colorless units even have units with advantage against them like Cecilia's Gronraven's effect weapon advantage against colorless units -- is that in my first file, I summoned a 3* Matthew, so he was able to fight along the others before falling behind. Virion fell out of favor the moment Jeorge showed up. Dude is the most monstrous non-Takumi archer I've seen in the game. This file I ended up summoning monsters like Hawkeye, Raven, and Selena who pretty much let me steamroll the chapters -- well, Hawkeye wasn't used for any of the chapters, but he's still a beast --, so I didn't get much use of Matthew or Virion. It's like they're there, but Raven and Selena destroyed everything before they even arrived to the scene.

Oh yeah, the current 8 focus characters are going to be swapped (most likely with these 4) on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning depending on your timezone. So saving up a few orbs for the next few days may be a good idea.
Hoping I can get 1 of the Sacred Stones characters, but no guarantee that I'll actually use them.

Gorl, I didn't say ONLY those 4. But it may be since I think the 8 focus heroes thing was a launch event but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe those 4 won't even be the focus in the first place.

 

[Ffamran]

So, as I'm desperate for a blue unit and sort of a flying unit because of the February quest where you need to kill lv. 20 units with a flyer, I decided to roll. 2 blues, 2 colorless, and 1 red. No greens, so no worries of more greenies and axe units. Picked red first since I didn't care who it was; it was a 3* Lon'qu. Awesome, a favorite character. Following in order were 3* Subaki, 3* Wrys, 3* Gwendolyn, and 3* Gaius. Basically, 2 favorites: Gaius and Lon'qu, 2 repeats from my first file: Gwen and Subaki, a not-Cordelia: Subaki, and the old man.

Spoiler: Thoughts on them

Lon'qu is great -- dat speed --, but he's suffering from Barst syndrome for me. That is to say, the sword units I have er... Selena, pretty much does everything I want from a sword unit. Selena's just overall useful, but not great for offensive since she lacks an activate skill or an extreme stat build like Fir, Hana, Lon'qu, and Hana. While he's a favorite, I would have preferred Henry or Tharja since I don't have -- ignoring Raigh as usual -- a red mage or a cavalry -- I just realized that I have never summoned a physical cavalry unit in a file I played, so minus re-rolls --, knight, or flying sword unit like Caeda, Eliwood, or Stahl. Since I'm on this topic, I wished Barst had an Emerald Axe or a regular Silver Axe. Raven's speed is what makes Brave Axe work even though I haven't used it after downgrading him to a Steel Axe for low level reasons, Bartre's Hammer makes him extra useful for armor units since fighters are usually anti-armor to begin with, and Hawkeye's has an activate skill which Killer Axe lowers its cooldown not to mention being a 5* unit with extremely high attack. Moving on...

I like Gaius. I just don't like his skill set. It seems he's supposed to be an independent and power thief, but the issue is he doesn't have any weapon advantage like in Awakening as a colorless unit. That said, I think I like him better than Matthew which isn't saying much since I'm pretty neutral on Matthew as I liked Legault more. Gaius and Legault are pretty much Geralt from the Thief series and this is before even knowing about the series. I like the shady, gravely-voiced -- I imagine Legault having a gravely voice --, and suave thief character. Matthew's more of a Robin Hood which is cool and all, but eh... Of the thieves I've summoned and seen their skill sets -- have not summoned Kagero before --, I like Felicia the most. She's basically a healer as a thief. Would have preferred her even though I do have both Felicia's from the special maps since I figured I could merge them with a summoned Felicia. Same reason why I have both Olivia's. Fortunately, I think I might use Gaius more than Matthew since Gaius seems stronger than Matthew and he's a favorite. For the purposes of killing stuff, Gaius wins out, but he can't guarantee +4 dmg unlike Matthew.

Wrys... Can I just give him to Antonykun ? I don't want this old man. I have 3 healers now. Granted, his skills are amazing for a healer; he can self-heal extremely fast and he can heal across the map so long as he heals someone. Totally see why Cress! said he's one of the best healers. Still, I have 3 healers now. I'd rather have someone else and someone who's not a healer. Setsuna would be my top choice followed by Jeorge, I guess Takumi, Kagero -- never summoned her --, and Felicia since I could just train up the 2* one and I already have Gaius as another thief. Well, at least I can crack jokes about senior citizen crap e.g. him inexplicably keeling over from old age, him being in bad situations because of my poor decisions due to being old and unable to keep up, senior citizen abuse from enemies, and his voice is funny to listen to.

Gwen and Subaki are repeats, so whatever. They're blue and lance units. Awesome. Would have preferred someone new, though, like Abel?, Cordelia, Oboro, Odin, Shanna, Sully, etc.

Edit:

So it's only FOUR Focus heroes next round and not EIGHT like this round? y is dis

They could do something like the new 4, Eirika, Ephraim, Julia, and Seliph, and 4 others, say, Chrom, Eliwood, Leo, and Ryoma, are two foci you can choose. Newbies and and a set of other selected heroes. So, foci are constantly shuffled and updated e.g. eventual Tellius update will have Ike and Micaiah and a shuffled focus of some 4 other heroes. They don't have to be important characters either. Just 5* units... Hmm, maybe there should be a bara focus.

I would of thought college classes would of been above anti-videogame propaganda, but not even my statistics class is immune.

I'm suppose to be working with a sample showing a correlation between how many hours a day someone spends playing video games and what their BMI is, and everyone with 1 hour is skinny and everyone with 2 or 3 hours is fat. It also has a little disclaimer saying that the numbers are hypothetical, which is funny because none of the other examples I've worked in this class said such a thing.

Now I would expect there to be a correlation, but I find it really funny that my statistics class had to use fake data just for this one example. I would of thought that it was your caloric intake being significantly greater than your energy output that made you fat, but nope, it looks like it's just video games. And since Zelda is a videogame character, I guess we can use that to conclude that she's the one responsible for making everybody fat. We need to put a stop to this.
