Guide Zelda Social: But also the FE Heroes Internet Cafe

[Antonykun]

So I figured it out and Swift Sparrow vs Sturdy Blow is a very small difference in kills on Yato Corrin, so my Katarina won’t die for Swift Sparrow fodder. Which means I can finally do the Owl team I always wanted, once I get a Boey and enough feathers. The question is, who would be the best Raudowl user?

My Katarina is +Def/-Spd, while my Lilina is +Spd/-HP. Speed is very important on Katarina, but all the Spur buffs she’d be getting on an Owl team would Counter that (All the units would have Spur Something + the equivalent seal, to give out +8 of a stat) And while Lilina also has a bad nature, that’s much easier to fix than Katarina’s, and Lilina has higher Attack power than Kat. So hmm

I could also try to find a good Henry or even Sophia and try to make them work. What do you gorls think?

I honestly think I prefer Fury 3 on Yato Boi regardless of his IVs he's gonna be a bit bulky because of his jack of all trades stat distribution so can trade -1 spd and -1 ATK/DEF on initiation for the ability to have +3 in every other stat at the mere cost of a bit of health each turn which also let him be in desperation range which synergizes so well with his kit

He’s gonna get into desperation range anyway from the first counterattack, and some extra defense and res is just countered by the constant damage. Not really worth having to bring some form of healing along with the team. Plus fury is everywhere and I’m kinda tired of it. Sturdy Blow and Yato provide all the buffs he needs from fury and more, without the damage. He shouldn’t be taking enemy phase hits too often, and he doesn’t need a Res buff as much either

Got Nowi, yesss. I think she's -ATK/+RES but I should double check.

It's a good nature, imo. Obviously -blade would appreciate +SPD, but the -ATK doesn't hurt her that much because I actually have a -blade+ tome I can give her, and my neutral ATK S!Camilla has never needed the + version (though I do have Summoner Support on her, which might be a reason).The +RES works better with her Grimoire, imo.

Still, I'll probably go back in for another one throughout the month. Still need to do calculations to see if I'm keeping that Neko Sakura or foddering her to Felicia.

they made her too well-rounded

i was hoping nowi would be a res-focused version of spring camilla

she's not bad or anything, but she doesn't specialize in any stats, which is bad for the current orko meta (and is why palla is such a lame unit)

i'll probably still pull for halloween nowi, but only because she's a flying mage. i'm not sure if i'll bench elincia to use her instead

However much she defines my flier team and my time with FEH in general, Spring Camilla honestly shouldn't exist and tbh I feel like the anti-Reinhardt measures they've been adding is lowkey really to prevent Flier Emblem from becoming an unstoppable meta once they inevitably nerf their deliberately-established Cavalry meta. I still think at some point were getting a FEH Channel update and they're introducing Beasts who are super effective against horses like Archers are to Fliers.

That, and they probably thought they were oh so clever by making a dragon a witch whose also a fairy.

Preferably, Nowi shouldn't be seeing combat at all. Like I said. she's a Ferry. Her job is to basically have maximum mobility and dedicate removing units from danger from nearly anywhere from the map. With her C-slot and A-slot, she's a better magic tank than Caeda and she can guarantees a Hone Flier buff on the next turn by virtue of being right next to you. And Grimoire works equally well outside of a Flier team as well; it probably isn't a coincidence Guidance is a TT reward at the same time they released Nowi.

I'm seeing someone like Cordelia or Cherche with Hit And Run going in to attack, kills, goes back one square, Nowi can come in from behind and repositions her to safety from a number of directions, especially if WoM can be activated. That she's uniquely suited to tank magical hits when next to another unit certainly helps.

 

[Lorde]

Spring Camilla honestly shouldn't exist

why not? is it because she can kinda trivialize archers with a gronnraven build?

she's a better magic tank than Caeda

thanks for giving me the idea to sacrifice a halloween nowi to caeda for that new a slot skill. i have wanted a good caeda for a really long time, but i've only gotten like 3-4 of her and all were -atk, -spd, or +def. caeda with brave sword+/wo dao+ and that new atk/res bound skill sounds really fun. i know caeda is bad, but i really like her

-atk doesn't really hurt nowi that much tbh. blade tomes don't care about atk bc blade tomes op, and her defensive stats get to remain intact. even if you're not using a blade tome on her, 31 atk isn't that bad. that's the same as neutral summer corrin iirc

 

[Buddhahobo]

why not? is it because she can kinda trivialize archers with a gronnraven build?

It's been awhile since I did the calcs, but she can basically trivialize everything with optimal IVs.

It was something like only 4 units could survive her. Granted, they've added anti-blade units like Mommy!Julia, B!Ike, and B!Lyn since then and Sigurd and Black Knight now exist, but my -blade S!Camilla isn't even close to the best she's capable of. Which is scary, cause she already curbstomps near everything. Really, the only reason (exaggerating, but only slightly) Reinhardt is the one with all the memes is cause basically no one whose f2p has Hinoka. EDIT: Well, that and she was a pre-SI limited banner unit.

A -raven build makes her more autonomous so I'd say that's a better build on a defense emblem flier team (A-slot, probably a toss up between TA3 or...I think I saw a lolworthy Close Combat one before, that was great)

thanks for giving me the idea to sacrifice a halloween nowi to caeda for that new a slot skill. i have wanted a good caeda for a really long time, but i've only gotten like 3-4 of her and all were -atk, -spd, or +def. caeda with brave sword+/wo dao+ and that new atk/res bound skill sounds really fun. i know caeda is bad, but i really like her

Caeda is a massively underrated character, imo. Like, Palla exists, and I have one sort of built at 4*, but I'm just never going to use Palla if Caeda is available. I hadn't considered foddering a halloween Nowi to Caeda, but if that'll make her useable for you go for it.

I run a +SPD Caeda, and I kept her normal Darting Blow 3. Her RES is good enough to tank non-blue magic, and her speed is pseudo-defense because nothing is going to double her. Then she's guaranteed to double next turn.

Brave Sword is kind of wasted on her, unless you're just using it to speed up her special but it's risky. Wo Dao+ is probably better, but I gave my only one of those to Selena so my Caeda is still running Armorslayer. It's nice in TT, cause she can typically handle Sheenas and the occasional Hector that way while being general support to S!Camilla and Hinoka.

-atk doesn't really hurt nowi that much tbh. blade tomes don't care about atk bc blade tomes op, and her defensive stats get to remain intact. even if you're not using a blade tome on her, 31 atk isn't that bad. that's the same as neutral summer corrin iirc

Yeah, like you said she's pretty balanced. It's somewhat hard to look at her spread and choose a good bane. Like, there's defense, but that's more "least bad" than "good". I just hope ATK isn't a super bane or something.

 

[Burgundy]

I know this has been done to death already but god the contrast here is hilarious

 

[Lorde]

so i think i'm going to sacrifice my dc elfie to gwendolyn

gwendolyn is a better tank than elfie, and i'm not really that attached to elfie in the first place

i can inherit berkut's lance+ and dc from elfie, which is basically all my gwendolyn needs at this point

is this a bad idea y/n

I think I saw a lolworthy Close Combat one before

close counter is a legit option for spring camilla because she actually has decent defense. looking at some really quick calcs, neutral spring camilla gets 83 wins with a raven tome/cc/qr build on defense. ta is probably more useful in most situations, though

i know i say it every time she's brought up, but i'm still dead inside from not summoning spring camilla. i literally got 3 chroms instead cricricri. i foddered two of them off tho lol (one to oboro for atk/def 2 and one to belka for that carrot axe+ because she's cute with it)

wait, can fliers use the deflect missile seal? i would assume not since they're weak to archers, but if they can, belka/spring camilla would love that

Caeda is a massively underrated character, imo.

yeah, she's kind of a meme at this point. a lot of people say she's useless because she has 25 base atk, but she's like sheena/belka in that all of her damage comes from special procs. having a unit that can tank a green mage is very useful for flier emblem, especially since i usually run 2 blue units whenever possible. palla could theoretically tank green mages thanks to her ruby sword, but even +spd palla is going to get doubled by the faster mages like fury nino and +spd fury su!elise. not sure how well caeda tanks them compared to ruby sword palla

I just hope ATK isn't a super bane or something.

looks like halloween nowi doesn't have any super banes. her one super boon is res, though, so yours will get that +1 bst. tbh best dump stat probably is def, but that's just because mages don't really need def. it also helps that it's her lowest stat anyway, so you're not affecting MUs that much

 

[Ffamran]

i just wanted to climb the cliff

hyrule warriors let me climb cliffs ;_;

Oh yeah, I was wondering about that, but figured since none of the thieves and ninja are in the game, it wouldn't be a thing. Anyway, fliers can't get to higher places? Well, that sucks, but whatever.

they made her too well-rounded

i was hoping nowi would be a res-focused version of spring camilla

she's not bad or anything, but she doesn't specialize in any stats, which is bad for the current orko meta (and is why palla is such a lame unit)

i'll probably still pull for halloween nowi, but only because she's a flying mage. i'm not sure if i'll bench elincia to use her instead

Well, all the kid dragons have balanced stats with young Tiki being the most well-rounded, Fae leaning towards resistance over defense, and Nowi trading speed for attack. Most of the trainee/villager units have well-rounded stats including Amelia, Ayra, and BH Lyn who happen to have good offenses. Thing is if you took manakete Nowi's stats and dropped them down ranged flier BST, she would probably end up being a red spring Camilla. Comparing her manakete and flying mage stats is pretty funny.

Manakete Nowi has 45 HP, 34 Atk, 27 Spd, 30 Def, and 27 Res while ToD Nowi has 34 HP, 34 Atk, 32 Spd, 20 Def, and 27 Res. The developers essentially dumped her HP and defense and gave her 5 more speed to make up for that since she'd have 142 BST otherwise. I guess they kept her resistance as is to go with the idea witches are more magically-inclined, so they would have a better time taking magical hits.

Her main shtick is being another flying mage for people to try and get considering Aversa doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon and neither is Reina for a flying archer. For people who started playing after spring Camilla and summer Corrin or couldn't get either of them, Nowi's pretty good for what she is. Bonus points for being the first flying mage with a legendary tome.

I could also try to find a good Henry or even Sophia and try to make them work. What do you gorls think?

Both of them would be more defensive mages which if that's not what you're trying to go for considering you were talking about Katarina and Lilina who are more offensive mages...

Henry would be a bit cheaper to build since he only needs T-Adept and either QR or a -breaker, but how you use him is up to you: do you want to him to have better attack by being +Atk when other mages have higher attack, do you want him to been even more of a physical tank with +Def, or do you want him to be a mixed tank with +Res? Sophia would be easier to use since she hits harder and her defenses are fine, but she's more expensive when she really wants a different tome. Also, Henry would be a better Panic Ploy user than Sophia.

Speaking of mages, after having Olwen of all people showing up sinking in, I'm a bit annoyed that Olwen and Tailtiu showed up. It's like "Wow they're good and I have a 40% bonus unit for the TT", but then I look at my red mages and even green mages and think "Wow, I have a lot of blue mages."

Anyway, Neko Sakura sounds more nervous than her regular self which is funny since Sakura seems like a very nervous person.

 

[Lavani]

Anyway, fliers can't get to higher places? Well, that sucks, but whatever.

Fliers just "run" a bit above head height, and can fly over certain chasms as flier-only routes. Pegasus riders can take off higher than that with their C1, but the elevation puts them at about head height with cliffs. Marth/Celica tracking toward an airborne enemy is thus the highest you can get; they actually hit an invisible ceiling, so it seems Koei was determined to prevent taking shortcuts through maps that way.

 

[Lorde]

Does Raudrowl+ still make you inherit the fire and elfire tomes before you can inherit the actual owl tomes themselves? I remember that being a problem because it was the only tome/weapon in the game (afaik) that made you do that. basically, if you didn't have a spare lilina to sacrifice, you couldn't inherit the + version of the tome

but maybe they fixed that in one of the updates idk

Okay, and that makes sense. In Samurai Warriors and maybe Warriors Orochi, the ninja characters could double jump to use shortcuts. It wasn't much, but it was a neat thing. Maybe the developers will introduce a similar thing if and when any of the thieves and ninjas are made available, but I doubt it.

Oh yeah, I've been wondering about it and I think it's still a thing. They would have mentioned it in an update if it was fixed, but for whatever reason, it's the only tome where you specifically need to have the fire tomes to inherit which sucks since you don't need to do that with -blade, -raven, and -wolf tomes. No idea why that's the case.

Quick edit: I just realized that Burgundy could have checked this.

 

[Buddhahobo]

not sure how well caeda tanks them compared to ruby sword palla

In a vacuum (buffs for the blade users, none for Palla or Caeda), it depends.

- If they're fast enough to double Caeda, Palla. If not, Caeda.

For instance, both Fury and LnD3 +SPD Nino can do this with a typical +4 speed buff. +SPD Fury Su!Elise with a typical speed buff can't against my +SPD Caeda, but with LnD3 she can.

- If both have G Tome Breaker as their B-slot, Palla. But that means losing your B-slot, which is arguably more important than average on a flier team.

- If you gave Caeda a Ruby Sword, Caeda. Without Armorslayer she can't kill Hector in one skirmish, though with Ruby Sword she's only going to be taking chip damage.

However, Green blade mages aren't the only ones out there, and Palla's Ruby Sword (Or G Tome Breaker in B-slot) is only going to help her there. Neutral RES IV Caeda can tank a +4 Buff Death Blow 3 +ATK Ragnarok hit from a Cecilia, for example. She won't be able to take two, but that's why my rule of thumb is I can typically trust Caeda to take any one (non-lancer, most blue mages) hit, but only that one hit.

mfw I get Elise (3rd one) instead of H!Jakob/H!Sakura but she has +SPD/-DEF IVs so I'm not even allowed to be mad:

So PAX was pretty fun this weekend.

On Saturday I went as Rhajat again in the morning and had another Fire Emblem meetup. Then changed into Yiga Footsoldier from BotW which I had to rush because my dumb butt started it late and I completely underestimated how much time it would take to make it. Now that it's over I'll definitely take the time to fix a lot of things, in addition to making the belt which I ran out of time for.

Spoiler: Fire Emblem shenanigans

Most of us were from the same group from another con earlier this year, but we also picked up some Awakening/Fates cosplayers on the day. We got more individual/duo shots taken by a photographer, which I'm still waiting on.

We could have been the perfect filthy memers but Peri ruined the group photo. Since we only met Tharja on the day the rest of us decided to blame Peri for it lmao.

I suggested we do JoJo poses and it ended up being an epic failure because none of us wanted to get up. (I ended up just covering my face lol)

Spoiler: BANANA NINJA

Didn't get many photos of Yiga Footsoldier cause I was mostly inside hanging out in the free play area, also took me like 1 hour to get changed (all the straps are detachable) but here are a couple of pics of me being the banana-crazed ninja Deadpool knock-off. :^)

Sunday was Nier: Automata day! I cosplayed an NPC whose name I cannot not say lest I have my soul erased by a certain someone, but she shares her name with a rather popular stunt show. 7 letters, starts with J and rhymes with sass.

I actually threw the cosplay in a week because my initial plan was to only attend Saturday, but I made some fish jokes relating to the game and eventually my friend convinced me to come in cosplay on Sunday. I actually had a better time on Sunday since it was a much more comfortable outfit than Rhajat/Yiga, and my movement was not as restricted. The only thing is that it was 27°C that day, oof.

Spoiler: Ending K spoilers.... actually it's not that significant tbh

I left a trail of dead androids in my wake. Mackerel is the true MVP.

Spoiler: explanation

For those who haven't played the game, the joke is that once you're done with her initial sidequest, Miss J will send you a message about trying out a mackerel. She outright states that the fluids in mackerel are bad for androids, but invites you to try it anyway for the sake of science. You can pick up said mackerel from her, eat it, and trigger a premature ending to the game called "aji wo [K]utta".

Spoiler: Praise the 2Booty (maybe NSFW but not really)

Continuing with the androids vs. fish memes, I took these nerds to eat sushi for dinner. Let's just say it didn't exactly go well for them.

[Ffamran]

Oh yeah, Sony did some stuff today. The Shadow of the Colossus remake looks pretty and is set to be released on February 6, 2018. The two things that caught my attention were FFXV: Episode Ignis and Ghost of Tsushima.

The moment they showed Ignis's gameplay was the moment where I just could not believe what was going on. Really? From what I remember seeing trailers of Noctis's gameplay, he's so clunky and sluggish looking. It's like Noctis is like playing the Drakengard 1 while Ignis is like playing Ninja Gaiden or because of his dual daggers/short swords, the Strider-based classes of Dragon's Dogma. What the heck? What's making even more annoyed was Ignis was supposed to use katana, but they changed it to daggers primary and lance secondary. I want a spin-off game starring Ignis. Freaking British Travis Touchdown being all cool and stuff.

Ghost of Tsushima is apparently an open-world samurai game developed by Sucker Punch. Yes, that Sucker Punch behind Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS. Open-world is the thing to do this generation like how photorealism and super-seriousness was and still is the thing to do last generation before open-world became more prevalent. Anyway, with how the trailer showed the game, if it goes the route of being a lone, guerrilla-styled warrior, then Ghost of Tsushima would literally be Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan which people have been asking for a while or an open-world Tenchu. Stealth is something Sucker Punch can do and so can open-world. If they combine that and make the gameplay and perhaps combat when needed, really fun, then Ghost of Tsushima could be really cool even though it's kind of "predictable" as an open-world game that would be compared to Assassin's Creed.

Just looked it up and Tenchu's last game was released in 2009: Tenchu: Shadow Assassins for the PSP and Wii. Man, 8 years and the developers who developed the Tenchu series, Acquire, developed Way of the Samurai and are currently co-developing Project Octopath Traveler with Square Enix. I never played the Tenchu games, but I love stealth games so maybe it will be eventually revived and maybe I'll see if I can track down a copy of one of the older games.

Quick edit: just remembered that Tenchu was one of the games Jirard just did a video on.

 

[Berserker.]

i legit got confused with TLoU2. no seriously, i thought it was days gone or some ****. also, horizon zero dawn and god of war look like they're the same game. not saying that the games will probably be bad (god of war isn't like the previous ones though) but the art style for all those games is hella generic. the only game that seems remotely interesting is ghost of tsushima but even then, the art seems to be waaaay to similar to the other big games. NOW, if only they showed gameplay... which they didn't. oh, spiderman looks great but it still has a vague release date. monster hunter world, yeah, we already know about it already. don't care about ignis so episode:ignis is whatever. that concrete genie game seemed good tho

Spoiler: The “For FEH” Team

Both of them would be more defensive mages which if that's not what you're trying to go for considering you were talking about Katarina and Lilina who are more offensive mages...

Henry would be a bit cheaper to build since he only needs T-Adept and either QR or a -breaker, but how you use him is up to you: do you want to him to have better attack by being +Atk when other mages have higher attack, do you want him to been even more of a physical tank with +Def, or do you want him to be a mixed tank with +Res? Sophia would be easier to use since she hits harder and her defenses are fine, but she's more expensive when she really wants a different tome. Also, Henry would be a better Panic Ploy user than Sophia.

This team would pretty much need to be offense only since they’re all ranged units that need to be right next to each other, so yeah I probably shouldn’t use Henry or Sophia
I decided to just keep Katarina since the speed bane is easily fixed by the massive amount of Spur buffs she’ll get. All Spur-like skills stack without a specific limit, right? So if the three other members have, for example, Spur Spd, Def, and Res, plus the same skill as a seal, and they all sit next to Katarina, she gets +8 Spd Def Res, as well as +6 to Atk Spd Def Res, and +2 if a Supported Ally is next to her as well. That WOULD all stack, right? Or do Spur skill have a limit to how high they can go?

As for the team itself it will of course have Innes and Kat, as well as Blarowl Shigure and Boey. My Shigure is +Atk/-HP and if all those Spur buffs do stack, then his lowered dancer stats are pretty much invalidated and he becomes a good threat, while being a dancer too. I need to find another Boey and hopefully get a +Def -Res one.

Spoiler: “Weird Tome Restrictions”

Does Raudrowl+ still make you inherit the fire and elfire tomes before you can inherit the actual owl tomes themselves?

No idea why that's the case.

Quick edit: I just realized that Burgundy could have checked this.

Huh, does it? Lemme see...

Wow, it does do that! So I checked some and to get Raudowl and Bolganone, you must have Fire and Elfire. You can get Raudblade without getting Flux or Ruin
I would’ve checked Fenrir, Raudraven, and Raudwolf but I sent my only Sophia’s and Raighs home earlier :x and I used my only Henry to give Eldigan Ignis yesterday
Red tones are weird. They’re the only tomes that have two different tome types in the same color. None of them even function any different too. Flux, Ruin, and Fenrir are exactly the same as Fire, Elfire, and Bolganone. The Dark tomes just look cooler. So it’s strange that there’s a restriction one way but not the other way. I hope we get more regular Dark tomes soon. They’re cooler looking than bland old fire

Spoiler: Training Units and Flier Emblem

Oh I’ve also been slowly training Arden, Clair and Minerva. I’ll miss you, Warriors Maps ;-;
Minerva seems really good even though her nature is pretty eh. I’m excited to use her, and Clair too. I wanted to do a flier team but it seemed like a lot of costly investment for a team I didn’t care enough about. But now I got 2 fliers ready to use, and Clair is the Lance flier I preferred to use too, since I actually know her. A shame her Attack is neutered even more though. I’m wondering if I should take her down the same or a similar route as my -Atk Leo. He’s gonna be chip damage/movement debuffer with Brynhildr, Poison Strike, and Savage Blow. She could do the same, but I could promote my 4 Star Roderick, give her the Firesweep Lance, and then focus on safe debuffing/chipping. But that’s a lot of investment too when I could just wait for a 4 Star with a good nature and merge them. I’ll keep thinking about it. In the meantime, I want to pull Witch Nowi so I don’t have to resort to using Caeda or Palla, who I care little about, or having to do a pseudo flier team with a single Infantry/Armor and guidance. I’d prefer Nowi, since while I hate her design, her actual character and artwork is pretty good. This banner has been kind so far so hopefully it’s just as kind the rest of the month.

1) XC2 has baras in it???

2) Yeah PoR was pretty sluggish, but that was their first attempt at 3D-ish so it's forgivable. Playing on a NOTGAMECUBE can help speed it up, especially if there are speed-up-game options ofc.

3) OK. HOLD UP GORL. ODIN IS ACTUALLY GOOD!!! WE GONNA FIGHT! >

Well, to be more specific, Odin is good if you give him a +SPD nature. His bulk is fairly decent but the fun thing about blade tomes is you can make someone super OP depending on how their stats are arranged. Even my -ATK/+SPD Waifu Caeda wrecks those sassless gorls with Eirika/Ephraim buffing her.

Give Odin Darting Blow 3 and Desperation 3, then let him go to town. His bulk ensures he will take a hit, Darting Blow will ensure he doubles/kills over half the cast even if they are +SPD. You can then give him ATK or SPD Sacred Seals to help him out even more. He's very cheap to build considering how common DB3 and D3 are with 4* or 3* fodders. As far as "going out of my way to make my husbando work" goes, he's basically the most beginner friendly thing there along with Nino or Tharja. Blade Tomes are just that OP. He, unfortunately, happens to be a BLUE unit and Rein/all the waifus outclass him because they're made to either nuke and die in one round if the enemy touches them. So he gets **** on non-stop because lelmemes > numbers or whatever.

Morning gorls. How's everyone doing?

I think I've fallen sick, since my head has been hurting, my stomach was having aches and pains (Like my right shoulder) and my throat is sore too. Plus, my nose is a bit runny too; had trouble sleeping last night as well even when I did wrap up warm. But I've gotten some of the infection out and took some medicine too.



I swear someone on here will talk about how perfect Yuuou is.

I'll be trying to get some work done, even if it's a tiny amount; I'll still have made some progress.

Spoiler: Yuri pic of the day~

Are you OK gorlo? Maybe you overdosed on sassT from being here and we all know how that goes...

Hope you get better.

1) XC2 has baras in it???

Why yes. Yes it does.
It even has a precious birb in it too.

Thanks Puddin. I'll make sure to at least stay warm and get some rest whenever I can.

Woops, there was actually a Xenoblade 2 pic of the day yesterday that i forgot to post. I'm a fraud.

Spoiler: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 pic of the day from yesterday

It was a double pic. Basically, it's showing us that the same Blade will give it's Driver different Arts. You can see this in the Art Pallet on both screens. This is really good because it means that every Driver/Blade combination will be unique. AHH, SO MUCH CUSTOMIZATION POTENTIAL HERE!

I swear someone on here will talk about how perfect Yuuou is.

I legit want Yuuou's English voice to be the same as Sidon's.

What's a bara?

Yeah PoR was pretty sluggish, but that was their first attempt at 3D-ish so it's forgivable. Playing on a NOTGAMECUBE can help speed it up, especially if there are speed-up-game options ofc.

Yeah, it's understandable for PoR but someone over at the Corrin Social mentioned that Radiant Dawn has the same sluggish issues, which is kinda upsetting considering Radiant Dawn was on the Wii.

And yes, i am playing it on a NOTGAMECUBE.

Well, to be more specific, Odin is good if you give him a +SPD nature. His bulk is fairly decent but the fun thing about blade tomes is you can make someone super OP depending on how their stats are arranged. Even my -ATK/+SPD Waifu Caeda wrecks those sassless gorls with Eirika/Ephraim buffing her.

Yeah, i suppose Odin does have the Blade Tome going for him. I don't know if any of my Odin's have a +Spd nature but i've also been using them for Moonbow fodder so i may not even have an Odin. I'll try to give him a build when i can (though with Reinhardt on my main team, i don't know how often i'll use Odin).

It even has a precious birb in it too.

Picture of said precious birb:

Too pure for this world.

It's Not Sidon. This guy's name is Yuuou. As you can see, he's a water Blade and he kinda also reminds me of Milas from Azure Striker Gunvolt 2.

Anyway, i've been playing Path of Radiance. I'm on Ch.9 now and i really don't like how slow the battle animations are. Even when turned off, the game can get sluggish at times. Other than that, it's a good game.

In FE Heroes news, i haven't pulled any of the new focuses yet. I'm still trying to pull for Nowi. I know she's not super amazing as a unit but viability never mattered to me (unless a unit is actually bad like Odin).

Also, i wasn't notified of new posts in this thread, so i missed a lot of stuff. C'mon, SmashBoards.

You SAY he isn’t Sidon, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love him like he is

So I'm like 99% sure that I'm going to sacrifice Elfie to Gwendolyn for Berkut's Lance+ and DC

I found out that I have a +atk -spd Elfie, so I'll eventually give that one a Brave Lance+ build. Maybe I'll make an offensive armor emblem team with armor march. I could do something like Draug/Elfie/Henry/filler. Maybe I'll try out gronnblade on Henry just to see how effective it is (i would assume not very)

As far as I planned around, Gronnowl can work very good too, using 3x ward, and one fortify.

Gronnblade works -very- good too, but won't give henry the insanity of defensives he might gets from a proper positioned owltome.

I already sacrificed one of my pity breaker Boeys (the CYL gauntlet banner was rough on me) to him for Gronnowl+. I haven't trained him up yet, so I haven't been able to try him out. If I don't like Gronnowl, then I'll give him a raven tome instead. I'm not sure if it'll be worth it to sacrifice my spare Takumi to him. I'll probably end up saving him for Halloween Joker (if I can actually pull him)

So, I got a chance to sit down and make some graphs from the data for like 20 minutes this morning.

Pages Parsed: 3,293
Total number of Posts: 131,720
Total number of Posts with likes: 89,083
Total number of likes: 321,362
Average Likes per liked post: 3.6

Most Liked Single Posts vs Author, and Most Liked Single Posts vs Post #:

The number one most liked post is the first post by Smashboards, thus proving that SB is truly the sassiest of us all.
I don't have the time to mention / find these, but my cut off for these graphs were 25 or more likes.

In the raw data the Page number is also given, along with the author and Post# if you'd rather look at that to find the post.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Top 50 posters with the most accumulative likes:

I'm not about to @ 50 people, but Lavani , Berserker. , @McKnightlíght , EODM07 , and Ffamran are the Top 5. If someone wants to @ more, go ahead I don't have the time to.

I didn't take alts into account because I don't know most of them. If someone wants to look at the raw data and combine all of Fuujin's likes together, be my guest.

EDIT: Actually, something is wrong with these graphs, but I don't have time to relook at the raw data. I think it might be graphing # of liked posts instead of total likes?

I dun goofed. The actual graphs for Top 50 with the most likes are in my post on the next page. The two below are Total # of Posts with at least one like vs Poster.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Total Likes vs Page #, with line of best fit:

I'm not sure if I did this one right in excel, but I ran out of time. The linear fit line would indicate an average like/page amount of about 100 likes per page.

It should be right. Apparently we really do average about 100 likes per page.

Spoiler

Lastly, attached is the raw data in a .txt file, and the excel sheet I rushed through to make the graphs; apparently Smashboards doesn't let you attach excel sheets, so just delimit it with tabs and you'll have the data in a spreadsheet.

 

[Lavani]

For what it's worth, the thread OP used to be Fujin but was changed to Smashboards at some point

basically what happened when Smashboards saw Fujin's sass

That does explain why Smashboards goes down for an hour or so every day for maintenance; clearly, Fujin became Smashboards, and the website spends that time dividing by zero attempting to ban itself.

tbh i'm kinda surprised that i'm not in the top 5 of accumulative likes, especially since i've been here longer than most people

would changing my name a billion times affect that somehow?

regardless, thank you so much for doing this, buddahobo

edit: wait, i have 8k total likes on my posts, and i rarely post outside of this thread, so at least 6-7k of those should be from here. it would definitely be more than the 2.5k your graph says i have, so maybe you did graph the wrong thing for that one

i would assume all of the like numbers would be higher. i feel like lavani has definitely gotten more than 4k likes since he has been here

 

[Cress!]

Looking at the table, my 2 most liked posts (both with 20 likes) are this

Okay who made this, I know it was one of you gorls.

The tournament should be starting soon. Besides Sm4sh they also have a Smash 64 tournament but no Melee... and the Smash 64 people have to play on a broken TV that only displays black and white with a ton of static. And after watching them play for 5 minutes I'm convinced that it is more jank than Brawl.
Anyways I brought my stress doll good luck charm!

We still haven't figured out who drew the Miiverse picture in the first post and the thing closes in like a week. I guess we never will figure it out. :[

I found @Chainz. irl for Hellerween.

Slightly surprised too, but it probably has to do with someone new clearly using your account every few months. Or people hate Lorde and they're withholding likes to be petty.

 

[Burgundy]

Aw yeah I’m livin it up perfectly in the middle

 

[Antonykun]

Welp time to farm likes so i can have more likes than @FullMoon .

(Now how the hey do I pull that off?)

EDIT: I'm literally number 11 just bellow Top 10, disgusting.
