[Buddhahobo]

can someone pls explain to me how inheriting skills works

i don't understand it

It's always possible I'm completely wrong, but here's how I've been seeing it explained.

You just got an Olivia, so I'll use her as an example.

Spoilers to reduce clutter.

Spoiler

In FE:H, everything a character can learn is defined as a skill. Weapons are skills, Support Moves are skills, Special Attacks are skills, etc. Skill Inheritance is therefore sort of like swapping out weapons or even class changing (in that you get other skills, you can't change your weapon from sword to tome or anything) in a typical Fire Emblem game.

Let's say I wanted Olivia to have a Brave Sword+. Ogma can get this weapon at 5*, so we select to inherit from him. You can inherit up to 3 skills from any one unit. So along with that Brave Sword+, I can also take, say, Spur Attack 1 (his C slot skill).

- Olivia already having something for her C slot doesn't stop her from learning more.
- Olivia's rarity or level, the character getting the skills, doesn't matter. She could be a 5* Lvl 40 or a 1* Lvl 1.
- Further, Ogma doesn't actually need to have learned the skills he's passing on; he just has to be able to learn them. So a 4* Ogma cannot pass on Brave Sword+ to Olivia, because he learns that at 5*. But you can promote Ogma to 5*, then immediately pass Brave Sword+ to Olivia without having to grind/spend the SP to unlock it on Ogma first.
- If you want to take Brave Sword+, then you need to also inherit Brave Sword. No just getting the + version of a weapon, you need it's base form too.
- If you want to take Spur Attack 3, then you need to also inherit Spur Attack 1 and Spur Attack 2. No just getting the highest version of it, you need to be able to learn everything under it too.
- Once you inherit any number of skills from the unit, they go home.
- These skills are added unlearned, with a 1.5x SP cost to learn them.

The limitations on skill inheritance is a lot less than we thought it was going to be.
- Dance, for instance, cannot be inherited to another character (well, maybe to another Olivia or dancer, but no one would ever do that.). However, that's basically it. Only healers can learn healing moves, but all those Rally support skills and movement based support moves are inheritable.
- Some special weapons like the Falchion cannot be inherited to another character; however, not every unique weapon has this limitation. People are still compiling a list, but the new focus unit Karel's weapon (Wo Dao+) can be inherited to someone else. Maybe because it becomes with a "+" variant? We'll find out soon enough.
- While most skills are not, some skills are type-locked. Wary Fighter can only be inherited by other armor units, for example. And Ninian's Fortify Dragon skill can only be inherited to other dragons. But if you wanted to put Saizo's Poison Strike on your Cordelia, Lucina, or Hector? All the more power to you.
- Most tomes seem to be inheritable.

IMO, it's a system that lets you use any character you want, make any dream team of your favorite characters somewhat viable (Not even inherit skill can make 4 sword units a good idea). Lower tiered units can be made much better. I think it would be best to wait for the April updates before using it though; the Hero Merit system is suppose to decrease promotion costs just by using the character (more so if you have duplicates of them), and the different game modes might change what we consider good team composition; a lot of people think Healers are going to be a lot more viable in them, for instance.

 

[Lorde]

I finally beat Revelation, meaning that I have now beaten all 3 paths in Fates

Overall, I thought they were pretty fun games

Next, I'll probably move on to Sacred Stones or something like that

 

[Ffamran]

Those training room quests! So many orbs! Welp, it gave me an excuse to promote Alfonse because his quest is to beat the first stratum which means Arthur gets a training buddy since the other units are duplicates I don't want to use. SO MUCH JUSTICE! Low attack still sucks, though.

Also, you cannot give a weapon breaker skill to a unit who's weak to that weapon i.e. you cannot give Lucina Lancebreaker or Abel Axebreaker. Also, knights can only have Wary Fighter, so no Takumi with that which would be horrible.

 

[Cress!]

Team Blue got me to a score of 3.3k, wow. I'll do another run through since I mostly did Intermediate games, so if I was able to win Advanced games I could get a really nice score. Haven't won any games on defense sadly. :[

Got 20 orbs and did a round of summoning and got basically trash. However, I got another Awakening Tiki, and she has some really nice skills that I'm thinking about passing on to Eph... (Defiant Attack, as well as Bonfire since his defense is p nice and Moonbow is lowered in usefulness since he has 2 skills that lower defense anyways.)
Also wanna give Eph for rally attack because that+his weapon gives +7 each turn, that on Rein gives him 14 extra damage. It sounds fun.

 

[Symphonia]

Also wanna give Eph for rally attack because that+his weapon gives +7 each turn, that on Rein gives him 14 extra damage. It sounds fun.

Gorl his weapon attack buff and rally attack don't stack I think. Basically if you have a skill that turns a stat blue, the higher one takes precedence i.e Defiant Attack 3 has higher precedence than hone attack 3 and the unit will only get a +7 attack boost. Found a page which explains it better which I'll put in a spoiler

Spoiler: Buff Stacks Guide

I often see questions about whether certain buffs will stack with each other, occasionally with incorrect/misleading answers, so here's a little guide I put together explaining the two categories of stat-boosting skills.

There aren't official terms so I'm going to call them Displayed Buffs and Combat Effects.

Displayed Buffs are easily identified by a green up-arrow icon on the character sprite. If you tap on the character to view their stats, the stat(s) being buffed will be shown in blue. They "stick" to the character and typically last the duration of a turn (Player Phase & Enemy Phase).

Combat Effects will never show up on your character - no arrow icon, no blue text. You only see them by how they affect damage numbers in combat. They always apply whenever their condition is met (usually by standing near the character giving the effect).

Now, here's the one thing you should remember that will answer all your questions about stacking:

The Golden Rule of Buff Stacking

• Each stat can be affected by only one Displayed Buff, and any number of Combat Effects.

Simple! Now you just need to know which is which. Here are all the current passive and support skills currently in the game that boost stats:

A few other notes

• If a character would be affected by more than one Displayed Buff for a given stat, the higher one takes precedence and the lower one does nothing.
• The -blade tomes, such as Nino's Gronnblade, only take Displayed Buffs into account when calculating added damage. (If Nino has a during-combat boost like Spur Atk, it still works, it just won't count for double)
• The AOE specials, such as Growing Flame, occur before combat begins, which means they technically are not "during combat" and will not be affected at all by any Combat Effects. (This one might need confirmation but I'm pretty sure it's correct)

Special Weapons
For weapons that grant stat boosts, they're mostly the same or similar to these passive skills. Rather than listing out all such weapons, here's your rule of thumb:

• If a weapon's effect has text like "through their next actions" or "at start of turn", it's a Displayed Buff. Examples: Cymbeline, Sieglinde
• Otherwise, if the effect says "when this unit is attacked" or "when initiating combat", it's a Combat Effect. Examples: Binding Blade, Durandal

I hope this is helpful for all those learning the game and building teams. It's also a good thing to keep in mind when planning for skill inheritance later this month. Please tell me if I got anything wrong or need to clarify and I'll edit the post.

Bonus - Pop Quiz
Q: Does Hone Atk stack with Spur Atk?
A: Yes.



Q: Does Hone Spd stack with Rally Spd?
A: No, both are Displayed Buffs affecting Spd.



Q: Does Spur Def stack with another Spur Def?
A: Yep!



Q: Say I have Eliwood with Durandal, he's been buffed by Gunter's Hone Cavalry, and he stands next to Reinhardt (with Goad Cavalry) and attacks. What are his stat boosts for that round of combat?
A: All of those will add up, giving him +14 Atk and +10 Spd.



Q: Okay... now take that same situation and say I've also had Sharena use Rally Atk on Eliwood beforehand. Will he then go up to +18 Atk?
A: Trick question! The game will actually not allow you to use Rally Attack on Eliwood in that case, since his Atk already has an equal or higher displayed buff (from Hone Cavalry).



Q: Wait, so Combat Effects can stack on each other indefinitely? Does this mean I can put 4 Reinhardts together on a team and they'll all get +12 Atk/Spd?
A: Absolutely you can, and why haven't I seen anyone do this yet (full answer: they'd need to stay together in a square, "T", or diamond formation in order to stay fully buffed).

Spoiler: Other FE Heroes stuff

Nice that they gave us more quests to get more orbs, but wow those 10th stratum ones are brutal. I should be able to infantry one and maybe the fliers and cavalry but the armour one is a no go. The fact that all your units have to survive and you have to do it 15 times is mean. Why couldn't they make it more manageable and made it 5 times.
Decided to give skill inheritance a go and I like it but also dislike it. Quite interested to see how it turns out. The thing I'm most excited about is the new battle modes and Lloyd being released
Finally, here's my current arena team for anyone interested

Olwen - As she has a brave weapon is +attack and is a cavalry unit, I decided to make her my high movement rushdown unit. Until the Arena update in April, your score is still decided on BST which is why I gave her fury even though death blow would be better (also, it obviously depends on whether you have any units with the skills you want to inherit) Not sure what special to give her so gave her Iceberg for now which adds 16 damage and she can activate it with every second battle she initiates. Gave her escape route because fury causes damage after every battle and once I get Escaoe route 3, after 3 battles she can use it. Finally gave her threaten res to do more damage though it's only real useful on maps with obstacles. With her attack buffs, she destroys the most common red threats (Lucina/Ryoma etc) some blues and Tacomeat .

Eirika - More of a support unit with her hone attack and hone speed. Swapped pivot for draw back as I feel it's better and it means she can pull a unit out of danger. Gave her a special skill and attack 2 though I'm not entirely sure what A skill to give her.I think she can OHKO Nino and she naturally doubles Julia and for Hector she can weaken him so Julia can get the kill, though if he has Vantage, then Eirika and Olivia can take turns baiting him.

Julia - Ranged Nuker. Gave her Ardent sacrifice for another healing option. Attack 2 is self explanatory. For her B skill I was debating with Renewal (so she can heal after using ardent sacrifice) but decided against it as I don't a 5* for Renewal 3 and because her and Olwen are my main attackers only they should be taking damage. Instead, I went for G Tomebreaker to counter Nino, Julia and Merric. Basically my blue unit and dragon destroyer.

Olivia - Dancer and a staple to my team, not much needs to be said. Fury to increase her BST and a special skill. Gave her wings of mercy mainly because of Olwen and Fury but it means she can warp around the map to any ally low on health and dance them to safety/give them another attack

 

[Uncertain Title]

I'm so angry. I wanted to give Lissa Knockback, so her Gravity could lock units down.
Unfortunately, last-month me used every olivia you could get from her dungeon as fusion material.
So now I'm at the mercy of summons DX

 

[EODM07]

For anyone who is interested, a livestream from SEGA is going on at SXSW Gaming. Where they'll be asking questions, doing things related to memes and maybe show something off of Project 2017.

 

[Ffamran]

Yay! My spring break starts now since I class is canceled tomorrow except I have 2 projects due after spring break, so it's more of a you don't have any classes for 10 days.

Anyway, this is weird, but for some reason, Rhajat is listed as a unit on this site: https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/hero/rhajat. I remember Owain was listed with basically he same stats and skills as Odin, but then he was removed. Now Rhajat is here and I think someone is just trolling since she has the same skills as Tharja. Also, the art is from the 4koma of Fates.

Alfonse is doing fine as a 4*. Eh... Too many sword units that I have that are good. It's all a red haze. Using Arthur has made me realize that he and Bartre were the only green axe units that I've used that were stable and all-around units. Anna is a fragile, fast, mage masher, Barst got screwed by low attack for high defense, Beruka and Cherche are low speed Wyvern Riders and Cherche was kind of screwed by low attack, someone's Camilla is a high resistance for average defense Wyvern Rider, both Fredericks are a mess, Gunter while a badass is still a cavalry unit meaning he's susceptible to anti-cavalry magic, Hawkeye is a slow, a resistance tank, hard-hitting mage masher, Burgundy's Hector is knight, so his movement blows, however, he's an amazing unit regardless, and of the 2 Ravens I've used, one has low attack for high speed letting him double everything and the other got his defenses screwed to the point where he's basically a 5* Anna with a Brave Axe. Basically, Arthur and Bartre are classic fighters -- pretty strong, pretty fast, and pretty physically durable -- whose weakness is resistance, but even then, it's not as low as most of the Wyvern Riders or Frederick. Also, that's a lot of axe users and I own almost all of them. I think I may have used a Minerva and Sheena during the Voting Gauntlet.

I'm gonna wait on the whole inherit skill thing. Waiting on research and getting disposable units and resources. For one, I'd like to give Anna Defiant Defense and Sol, but that means I'd have to sack a Raven and a 4* Beruka which means 2 units and 2000 feathers since I only have two 3* Berukas. That's the only unit I'd like to improve solely because I like Anna and because I can't think of what to do for the blue units. I could sack the crappy 4* Draug and give Sharena Pavise and Lunge since I don't really want the other skills which would start at level 1, but the problem is one, Sharena's defense isn't high to begin with and giving her Lunge would be suicidal. I could easily fix Alfonse to my liking, but I have three 5* sword units who are already good to begin with and a bunch of other 4* sword that are good as well. That and I really don't care for Alfonse; I like Hinata more than him.

There's also the issue of not having a clear plan for anyone, but Anna and Selena. I figure I could give Selena Bonfire from one of the 3* Tiki who I would have to level up. One problem is I have to look into exactly how Bonfire and other specials work. Selena and Tiki have similar high defense, but Selena's attack is abysmally low compared to Tiki whose attack is on average as a 5* is 46 to Selena's 37. Similar situation to Anna, but if I could get a high attack Selena hopefully with low HP or resistance, then maybe it would be better to give that Selena Bonfire or merge current Selena with her in the future.

Actually, considering that Selena has an empty B slot, it might be better to sack the 3* Palla for Moonblow (and New Moon since it's a prerequisite) and Wings of Mercy 1. I wonder how'd a Ruby Sword would stack with Triangle Adept? Oh, and speaking of Wings of Mercy, I could sack the other Cain for Wings of Mercy 3 to any unit. Ally down 50% HP? SUDDENLY! HECTOR! OH-HO! *smash* Except I don't have Hector, so I'll go cry in a corner now... ;_;

Edit: Burgundy , your Karel visited me. He's a meanie.

 

[Lorde]

I hope they introduce at least some of the Fates second generation characters. There were a lot of them that I really liked, including Shigure, Percy, Mitama, Forrest, and Rhajat.

and my personal tier list for the Fates branches is conquest>revelation>birthright

revelation had the best ending, but conquest was more fun to play through

 

[EODM07]

So the Sonic stream at SXSW Gaming came to an end.

But they showed off some new stuff for both Mania and Project 2017.

Sonic Mania has a new returning stage. Flying Battery. Where a new mechanic is added where using the Electric Shield actually alters the character's sense of gravity if they're standing under anything metallic. They showed off a new poster, boxed cover and the OST for Mania.

Also, Sonic 2017 is now called Sonic Forces. Which is running on a new engine called Hedgehog Engine 2. They said there'll be three styles as well. They only showed Modern. So that means there could be a third one. Either Adventure or a new mechanic with maybe managing the Forces of Heroes on what you can do against Eggman and the Forces of Evil.

Oh, there were also memes. Quite a bunch of memes and a Q&A that Mike Pollock and Roger Craig Smith had.

Spoiler: That ain't Falco

Traded his mohawk for some braids.

Part of me wonders what would have happened if there was a Year of Falco. Would he cameo in almost every game Nintendo makes during his year? Anyway, looking for images poking fun at Falco and Revalli and this image reminded me about an article -- might have been on Nintendo Everything, Nintendo Life, or Siliconera -- that BotW planned on having little people -- possibly the Picori? -- and the ability to shrink and grow in size.

It would have been nice if the Picori were in, but I think a future 3D Zelda should focus on them again since we've had a 2D Zelda with size-shifting, but not a 3D one yet. That lead to this article: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...t-an-arm-the-presence-of-minish-and-more.aspx.

Okay, the idea of Link missing an arm and connecting it with the introduction of, crouch animation, and stealth mechanics in BotW makes me think MGSV: The Phantom Pain. The second image even has a reddish arm and both have one eye -- second one is wearing a mask. It's kind of morbid, especially the second one where it looks like Link is this terribly misshaped cyborg and his Master Sword is broken in half -- poor Fi! The first one wearing his eye covers like that reminds me of Nier the Slayer mentor in Dungeon Fighters Online.

So Nammy's playing this LoveLive app and he grinded out 200+ gems in 3 days and has yet to get a ultra rare.

I just downloaded this app on my phone today and didn't even put any actual effort into the game. I got an ultra rare, super super rare, and super rare all in the first pull of the account

Edit: Burgundy , your Karel visited me. He's a meanie.

Ignis and Bonfire both take a percentage of Selena's Def and convert it into bonus damage. You could run her with a Killing Edge to increase special uptick time.
Giving her Darting Blow while keeping Threaten Speed will almost ensure that she won't be double attacked, and quite possibly let her attack twice.
Giving her Quick Reposte will ensure she gets another attack when attacked while above a certain amount of health (you did say she had high defense), or Vantage so she always gets to counter first when attacked at low health. Maybe even Desperation, so her follow-ups occur automatically when shes attacking below a certain amount of health.

For a third unit idea, maybe you could do an Olivia that knows Breath of Life? That way she gives other units an additional turn, while at the same time healing everyone adjacent to her. Sort of like a psuedo-healer.

 

[Lil Puddin]

Edit: Skill inheritance is out now, I immediately gave Oboro Glimmer. It works really well and, wow, she sounds really pissed in her quotes. When I heard "I'LL TEAR A HOLE IN YOU!" I think she meant it. Like actually meant it. There may be a man bleeding on a dirt road with a giant hole in his stomach now. Thanks Oboro luv ya

Skill Inheritance is pretty stupid, since it barely has restrictions.


LONG FE GARBAGE COMING THROUGH + PULL RESULTS!

I also noticed that weapons can be passed THROUGH colors depending on what it is. For example, Adult Tiki learns Lightning Breath, despite being a fire breathing Dragon. Though instead of getting rid of her, I got rid of an extra 5 star Nowi. I was able to give Young Tiki Lightning Breath. Albeit, to get it, it costs about 600ish points total... TBH grinding for the points would be fair IF getting SP wasn't ridiculous after hitting the cap at 5 stars. They should at least have the EXP bar go up and just add SP every time it hits the end, but keep the unit at level 40.

I also threw more money at the game because I enjoy "gambling" and I am dumb. So I got 8 pulls. Got a +SPD/-HP Jaffar (AKA: kinda OK but not the best). Jaffar's voice just sounds wrong, though. The pacing is OK, it's just too gruff since he's supposed to be around Nino's age (well, maybe 5 or so years older). I was imaging something like a slower paced version of Matthew, perhaps with more gruff like Saizo. As a unit he is OK, and he doubles nearly everything he comes into contact with. His damage isn't bad either. He's the fastest silver unit in the game even without Life and Death.

I also got a few other 5 stars like Lyn (-SPD/+DEF wtf), useless Maria, Nowi (fodder for Young Tiki), Young Tiki (-ATK/+HP eeeeeh), and Chrom(idk the stats he might be OK). Notable 4 stars are: Oboro, Lilina, Seliph, and Saizo.

I am pretty sure this game has a bias for paid orbs over unpaid. Especially because of how successful my paid pulls were compared to my unpaid ones. I barely got any 3 star units from those pulls. I got so many 5 stars too. I could see maybe getting 2 considering it's only 3% (well, 6% if you count Focus).

Side note about Jaffar's dagger. It DOES stack with any damaging moves such as Poison Blow. So he could potentially be a beast with 17 guaranteed damage, which is a death sentence for anything that's not an HP tank. Jaffar can double, but he lacks overall bulk. I was planning on building up Saizo with Jaffar's dagger since he's a tad bit stronger ATK wise, but more notably, has better defense so using Close Counter on Saizo makes sense. I want the perfect Silver units, IDK who to use as a base though. Saizo is HELLA buff, btw. Like, damn, that's a top tier edgelord husbando. All hail the muscular ninja husbando w/ good voice lines. Genji pls take a seat, your booty cannot save you from falling down the tier list any longer. We will not be getting Green Saizo, because who needs Green Saizo when there's Husbando Saizo?

BTW I am sad I did not get Ninian. I might drop even more cash and just pull Blue Orbs instead of Blue/Silver Orbs.

 

[Ffamran]

Falco with feet. Falco had chicken legs confirmed. Slower than Ganon.

Chickens are probably faster than Falco with how slow he is in Smash 4. Revali can also naturally fly unlike Falco, so... yeah...

Ignis and Bonfire both take a percentage of Selena's Def and convert it into bonus damage. You could run her with a Killing Edge to increase special uptick time.
Giving her Darting Blow while keeping Threaten Speed will almost ensure that she won't be double attacked, and quite possibly let her attack twice.
Giving her Quick Reposte will ensure she gets another attack when attacked while above a certain amount of health (you did say she had high defense), or Vantage so she always gets to counter first when attacked at low health. Maybe even Desperation, so her follow-ups occur automatically when shes attacking below a certain amount of health.

For a third unit idea, maybe you could do an Olivia that knows Breath of Life? That way she gives other units an additional turn, while at the same time healing everyone adjacent to her. Sort of like a psuedo-healer.

I know what Ignis and Bonfire do, but I don't know if it's added directly as damage or to her attack which would have to go through an enemy's defense.

For the other stuff, I would have to sack my only Fir or 1 of 2 Lon'qu since they're the only units I have with Killing Edge. I'd go with Lon'qu, though, since both of them have bad stat variations. With Lon'qu, I could give her Glimmer or up to Vantage 2 as well. Moonblow with Killing Edge would be hilarious. Every other hit and Moonblow comes out. To get Darting Blow, I'd need to be luck to get Caeda, Camilla, Rebecca, or Tharja and I'd honestly keep them, especially Rebecca since my only archer is Virion -- OUT OF 13 SUMMONS AND I SUMMON VIRION AGAIN! -- and she'd be a 5* right off the bat, rather than sack them, so I'd need to get two of them hopefully one of them has terrible stat variation so I can remorselessly sack them. I don't really know if I want to give her Darting Blow when her speed is naturally high. She's got average speed and that ends up as 35 as a 5*. Quick Riposte would be a bit easier since I do have a Subaki that's bad in my opinion as he has low attack for high speed when he's already fast, but his attack is low to begin with. For Desperation, I'd have to kill one of the Shanna I have and I'm still on the fence if I want to keep low HP, high attack Shanna or average Shanna.

Olivia would need to be leveled up before I'd do anything with her. I only have the special map Olivias. I do have 3 Felicias all of them average, 1 from a summon and 2 from the special maps. A problem with Olivia is while she is a dancer, she is a red sword unit and I have a ton of them. I'd rather get Azura or Ninian and give them Breath of Life since of the units I lack most, it's blue units and archers. Also, Breath of Life only activates when the user attacks, so it might be better for say, a knight or a ranged unit to have it since they'd either be very close to other units or hang back.

Anyway, Selena just happens to be one of my favorite characters who in this game has probably been my most consistently good unit. The problem is there are a ton of red units in the game and in my army. I have Eirika, Eldigan, and Lucina as 5* units none, so, eh, I might be better off to focus on making or leveling up and promoting the few blue units I have. Green units are fine; I have about half of them and most of them are and were summoned as 4*... I have no idea how before Julia, Narcian, F!Robin, and soon, Narcian were added, that I ended up summoning the type of units that numbered the lowest in the game. Green units started with 18 units, red, blue, and colorless units were 20+ and in the first half of my summons, I ended up with 9 of them by the time Julia and Narcian were playable. Right now, I'm only missing Camilla, Fae, Hector, Julia, Michalis when he's released, Minerva, Nowi, Sheena, and Narcian since I never did and couldn't -- was underleveled -- do his map. I was at a point in the game where I only had four 3* blue units and none of them were mages: Jagen, Gwendolyn, Sharena, and Subaki. It was terrible. I can live without archers even though they would help and it would just be nice to have more than Virion around, but not having blue units, especially a blue mage or dragon, sucked.

Also, the problem which I said before which is that I would have to spend a lot of feathers to get the skills I want as the units to be used would have to be 4* to get them. The most cost efficient might be either Palla and Tiki for Selena and Raven for Anna since Beruka would need to be promoted. Oh, and Draug for someone. I don't know who would want Lunge. Effie could use Pavise to make her even more stupidly tanky, but maybe giving her Sacred Cowl from Eliwood or Aegis from Jagen would be a better idea.

I also threw more money at the game because I enjoy "gambling" and I am dumb.

Noooooo... Stop. Stop gambling. It's not healthy.

Edit: Cool, another page steal. How... predictabo.

Y'know, with Arthur being voiced by Cam Clarke and how the chibis aren't as defined, Arthur kind of looks like Liquid Snake and Master Miller.

Noooooo... Stop. Stop gambling. It's not healthy.

I really enjoy getting good stuff, like, even at penny slots where I usually lose anyway (but I get tons of cheap drinks aaaaaaaaay). It's a nice feeling~ But not like a OMGINEEDITSPONGEBOBMEME way. I'm done with it anyway, since I got all the possible units I could want (SANS GOOD IVS WTF). I might throw another 80 bucks at them for 8 pulls when the Ike banner comes. Assuming I'm still interested in this game. It's a good de-stresser for me.

I'm kinda like a hermit crab and need to de-stress. Gambling a little or some nice drinks are the big guns for de-stressing. A very long nap, this place, youtube, web comic things, or playing video games work as well, but I wouldn't call them a cure-all. But ofc doing the same exact de-stresser thing gets old. And my BF is kinda fun but kinda intolerable as of late. So I pretty much needed a srs-de-stresser and there's Fire Emblem Heroes so that was the easiest non-alcoholic choice. TBH only spending 80 bucks for the 8 pulls for de-stressing was pretty conservative since I have to deal with quite a few anxiety/anger inducing meathead antics this week (oops complaining and probably over-sharing coming through of some totally rando things and paraphrasing I guess):

Spoiler: is this real life oops I guess it is

I need my fingers without cuts and stuff. Oops. Cut myself. "Oh **** you're bleeding... oooooh tough manly face. You're taking that like a champ. Heh heh. Maybe you should just use a blender or something to cut onions?" TBH straight/clean knife cuts don't hurt that much, but it does hurt when I'm trying to play video games. BUT ONION JUICE ON A CUT BURNS HELP ME I AM INTERNALLY CRYING LIKE A LITTLE BABBY.

2) More Meathead/Musclehead antics while I am at work "I'm soooo sore. I mean, look! I hit a new max high today so I have to rework my lifting routine. Not sure about my biceps, look at them. They're kinda too big, right? I mean, too big isn't a problem, it's just ahead of the rest of me. My triceps feel just a bit too small. But I haaaaaaate working my tris." I am at work in this nice retail store bakery with lots of passing customers. Pls no. Oh and "*whistles* the way you lift 50 pounds of sugar with perfect form like it's a cute little basket of muffins is kiiiiiiinda hot. *talks to customer at counter* I mean, am I right or am I right? He doesn't look it, but he's actually pretty strong for a little bakery dude. I mean, I'm stronger, but still. Hahahaaaaa. *nice old lady tries not to laugh as she looks at me and she visits monthly for cakes so she will probably remember this for a long time*" AT WORK. NO. I AM A SHY ANXIETY-FUELED LITTLE BABBY. DIS IS NOT THE PROPER WAY TO FLIRT OR W/E DAT WAS. I suppose it was kind of funny because the random "cute little basket of muffins" thing but it was a weird way to be cute so now 911 PLS SEND HELP I AM DYING.

3) Food vanishing. Of course. I enjoy food. Pls do not take my precious little fresh guacamole from me. Or any of my quick comfort foods - which unfortunately happen to be kinda healthy so he eats them since he eats, like, every 2 hours. I work retail/in a bakery 6 nights a week and deal with many types of people. I need my precious little food friends.

4) "We should probably do HIT together. I mean, you're still fit and all but you have a layer of padding. I mean, I do too! (by padding he means a bit of pudge that's probably 12% bodyfat at max) So maybe you'd like to get rid of it for the spring with me? I mean, there's no pressure or anything... Or maybe just stop buying those cakes every week. I actually don't know how you're not fat with how you eat. I mean, I'd be TOTALLY jealous if I actually liked eating garbage-non-nutritious food things."

5) I gave him my spare keys so he could shower at my apartment because "my fresh batch of soap is super cool" and also because his water heater isn't working. 3 hours later I come back home to see this sweaty man napping on my bed - ON MY CLEAN SHEETS I HAVE TO SPEND 4.50 DOLLARS/WAIT IN THE LAUNDRY MAT FOR 90 MINUTES TO CLEAN THEM STOOOOOOOP. His reason was something like he didn't have enough carbs and he pushed himself too hard with his HIT, so he drank a protein shake and passed out (left some goop in my blender so it was dry/caked on to the sides and blades).

um

uumm *looks at my IDK HOW TO PROCESS METER and STRESS METER levels built up from the past 2~3 weeks*

uuuuuuummmmmmmmm *throws 80 dollars at Fire Emblem Heroes without a second thought*

*draws abs edgelord husbando and adorable dragon girl and super swole ninja husbando so everything is fine now*

TL;DR I need a serious de-stresser sometimes. Spending 80 bucks in one go isn't so bad, ignoring the 20 I spent earlier just to see what would happen with paid-pulls.

And apparently, buff dudes get REALLY intolerable during cutting season. So that's something worth keeping in mind if for some reason you gorls decide to date a buff dude.

I miss the good ol' days when Spritzee had people to throw shade at.

Sheik is Zelda LOL

nier: automata is fun

spritzee shade me pls

Red Zelda is factually the best and most beautiful version of Zelda and puts the other colors to shame with it's sheer amount of sexiness. She is all powerful and cannot be defeated.

So I got a buncha dem free orb thingies (sooooogooooood). Along with some of the paid ones leftover since I didn't use them all.

I drew 5 star: Lyn. Ninian. Karel. Reinhardt. how and why I do not know pls help me understand

Except

Ninnypoo is -ATK/+HP because OF COURSE SHE WOULD BE. I might put Life And Death on her just to make her actually an attacker of some kind. :T

Karel is OK. +ATK/-RES. Pretty good, even if speed is preferred.

Lyn is OK. +DEF/-RES. I also have another Lyn, so that's 2 stats and SP... IDK if I would use her, though.

Reinhardt is maybe bad? -SPD/+RES? I mean his speed is already doodie, so maybe he will be fine with Wary Fighter from Effie. I also have a 4 star one that I somehow missed. I think he's normal speed but the IV calc isn't updated for 4 Star Rein. I wish Ursula was good outside of being a niche blue tome user. Her voice and overall look = AMAZING. Having an offensive blue magic user is pretty great for the Arena.

Last note worthy thing - I got 2 4 star Clarines. I combined them with my current Clarine, as well as my 4 star Wrys. So now Clarine is basically a better Priscilla who can actually heal herself AND doesn't have to worry about being doubled AND has a bit more overall bulk (but less attack/res - as if that matters). I will make a Mega Clarine and rule the world. So she will be like Zelda for reals, now. Pls ban.

More Oboros. And a Hinata so that's good for that Life and Death thing. 4 star Marth -HP/+ATK. Yea. That's nice I guess.

In other FE:Heroes testing stuff, I noticed Jaffar is pretty much a better Kagero. Even with +SPD/-HP he can take a hit and ofc double nearly everything. But more importantly, Life and Death is pretty stupid-strong. So even if he does a tiny dent, the +7 damage and the tiny double dents will add up.

Lorde I hope Merengue never moves into your New Leaf town. That gorl is trash anyways. You should try to get someone like Cobb instead tbh

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Parents come back from their vacation/holiday. Hoping they've enjoyed themselves. Also will be cracking on with more of my work too.

Also, later today. SEGA will be showing the same footage of Sonic Forces that they showed at SXSW Gaming. So we'll be able to see it in better quality for sure. But for now, time to get to reading and watch ProtonJon's stream!

Umm... What?

Spoiler: Free 4* Unit?

I'm gonna have to look into this since the news only mentioned the three-part special stuff for orbs and 1.5x exp later on. This was never mentioned. My only complaint is that it's another duplicate blue unit. I swear if I get another Cartria, Jagen, or Odin... That said, she's average which means she'll end up with around 31 speed as a 4* which is better than ending around at 26 for a couple more defense when she's tanky to begin with. I'm guessing because Corrin's popular and from their most recent game that she's being given out. If it's random, then screw you game. Why couldn't you have given me Abel, Cordelia, Peri, M!Robin, or Sully? Nowi would have at least been a different unit...

Anyway, this begs the question: for any of you who are on iOS, did you get someone or something? My bet is M!Corrin.

Edit: Found it: http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-...female-corrin-going-out-to-all-android-users/.

Wow, that sucks for anyone on iOS. They're probably going to do an iOS version later. Hopefully.

Hmm maybe we'll get an exclusive bonus later on. That'd make this less lame.
Anyways I'm hoping that abusing this 1.5x EXP event will get me past all the grinding i need to do and motivate me to play more.

Edit: *groans of increasing dicomfort*
I tried summoning and got only 3 Stars
Repeats of Henry, Est, and Arthur
At least Frederick and Bartre are new but not at all interesting crying

 

[Antonykun]

here's the commercial that led to Corrin

 

[Buddhahobo]

Also, you cannot give a weapon breaker skill to a unit who's weak to that weapon i.e. you cannot give Lucina Lancebreaker or Abel Axebreaker.

Completely necessary for this game, but I still think that's a damn shame. Virion x Cordelia was one of my favorite Awakening pairings because it got Cordelia as far away from Chrom as possible, and it got me an awesome OmniBreaker Severa.

I also threw more money at the game because I enjoy "gambling" and I am dumb.

Noooooo... Stop. Stop gambling. It's not healthy.

Just don't pull a Mango. Puddin wasn't made to Mango.

Repeats of Henry, Est, and Arthur

Here's where Skill Inheritance is useful. 3* Bartre has Hammer and Smite, and is one of the few characters that learn Fury. Frederick also gets Hammer along with Wings of Mercy and New Moon (3* version of Luna).

So they may not be interesting to you, but that's okay. They can make a character you do find interesting better.

So Sonic's official YouTube channel has finally shown off gameplay footage of Flying Battery in Mania and first ever gameplay of Sonic Forces.

Gotta be honest, they look pretty good. Might consider getting Mania is it continues onwards with this. Forces I'll need more information and footage before I can say otherwise.

Gaaah I'm ecited for Sonic Forces and Mania
I'm glad i can continue playing Sonic on my Switch <3
My hope for the third gameplay style is a Sonic Adventure - Sonic. That sounds perfect: 2D Sidescrolling Classic Sonic, 2/3D Speed Demon Modern Sonic, and full 3D exploration Dreamcast (?) Sonic.

Judging by the fairly basic layout that's probably the first Act. Looking at all the chaos, it seems that the game might start like how Galaxy 2 (Not the first level, but the opening cutscene) did:Instant chaos.

Anyone have advice on what skills I should give to Sharena?

 

[Ffamran]

This piece of **** game. Thanks for bringing my hopes up with 3 colorless orbs and none of them are archers! There are 24 colorless units in the game. 8 of them are archers. That's a third of them! Why the hell am I getting 0 archers!?

Spoiler: The Fourteenth Summon

I swear if I get another Cartria, Jagen, or Odin...

I had to open my mouth, didn't I? What the hell happened to the other blue units!? Why couldn't Kagero or a different 4* thief show up? Nope, here comes Matthew... Matthew, go away; I want Legault more than you.

Spoiler: The Fourteenth's stats

Third? -- might be second -- Azama has low attack for high speed. His attack is meh with Pain, but come on, man! You're going to be skill fodder.

Clarine has high HP and low defense. Going to keep her away from combat, but really? She's probably even squishier now. At least she's new and my only mounted healer.

Second Jagen has low defense for high resistance. You're a resistance tank and from what I remember using average Jagen against enemies is that average defense and speed kept getting you killed. Skill fodder. Also, apparently Felicia and Jagen can have 41 resistance if that stat is high. Neat. Low defense, though...

Second, 4* Matthew has high defense and low resistance. Aw hell naw! This is like 4* Frederick and Saizo again, except Matthew's attack nor defense is as high as theirs. Matthew only has Poison Strike that I would want to give to someone -- Felicia? Reciprocal Aid I've never used and it was mentioned as being a situational skill that units with Defiant skills can take advantage of on Serenes Forest and Rogue Dagger is probably the worst dagger since it is the weakest. Poison Dagger is weak, but 80% of the cast is an infantry unit, so... yeah. Hone Speed is your run of the mill buff skill, so whatever on that.

Third, but second 4* Selena has high defense and low resistance. So... a crappier version of the Selena I have and unknown to that one 3* Selena I merged -- I bet she had high attack and low HP or resistance. Selena's skills are pretty good, so I could give them to someone.

Gorls. For any of you that has a Switch. You can get the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire on the eShop.
