Fire Emblem Heroes

[Astro Dude]

Okay, I used 2k feathers on a Male Robin, I had 23k feathers . So I used my 20k Feathers on Titania. And I gave her my recently acquired 4* Robin's Bonfire. That combined with her Armored Blow will make her a devastating force provided she doesn't face red units. Besides, Soren, though 4* will get a boost in the next Tempest Trial. I'm just 3 orbs short from another session with the Crimeans. Translation: I'm gonna try again with the Crimean Banner.

[Shradow]

I think my favorite thing about my current Arena team is that it's pushed my score just high enough (in the upper 690s-700 range per Advanced round) that I've started to avoid a lot more Horse Emblem teams. Cavalry units have reduced BST (even more for ranged ones in the case of Reinhardt and Bowlyn) so if you push high enough you can get past them, now I'm seeing a lot more Armor Emblem which is considerably easier to deal with.

[Astro Dude]

And in other news, the Banner for MoF TT is out.

 

I basically set myself back. I got a 3* Virion which I sent home, a 4* Gordin whose Attack + I transferred to my 4* Matthew. And a 4* Jakob, which I merged with my existing 4* Jakob to bring his feather unlock cost down by 300 Feathers. I wanted to get Mist to complete the set, now I need 9 more orbs for my next Crimeans Banner pull.

 

And it looks like we're getting the Black Knight as a prize for the 30k point threshold. And it's a good thing I have Ike, Soren and Titania. I'll be needing them. If I could get Nephenee I'd be unstoppable.

 

Anyway, here:

Latest info for now.

 

Also, it's getting harder for me to get to 4k points in arena.. What would be a good team for this?

Well see about this when Black Knight comes. Like getting their final Piece of Exodia. A shame about Flyer Emblem though, too much Brave Bow BS running around.

Oh yes, I can see a myriad of people having a team of Effie, Hector, Amelia and Black Knight dominating the Arena. It would also be worse if you encounter 7 players in a row in Arena Assault with this specific team, and you can only use this team, once.

Really happy I got +Spd -Res Elincia at the last minute before the TT. I'll probably eventually stick her with L&D/Desperation cause I really want to take advantage of that monster Spd, but for now, I think her base kit + Luna and Hit and Run will be fine

 

Also, question for everyone should I upgrade Odin first to give his Blarblade to S!Corrin or upgrade Effie to give her Death Blow to Rein (before everyone riots she's -Atk)

 

I don't have Hinoka to take full advantage of Blarblade (they really need to give us another flier with Hone Fliers...), but I do want to take advantage of Elincia's skill, which is a little hard to do with another flier on the team...

Effie first, Reinhardt makes the TT grind way easier. TT will give you enough to promote Odin later anyway.

Got a Subaki in my free pull from the new Bound Battle banner so I immediately 5 starred him and fed him to Bike for QR3, so happy.

[Astro Dude]

I got a 4* Tharja from my free summon, but I'm keeping her.

 

Anyone know who could use Darting Blow?

 

Also, how about this for a skill:

 

Rainblow: Grants ATK/SPD/DEF/RES +2 during combat if the unit initiates the attack.

[Yemachu]

Tharja is quite a force to be reckoned with, especially with a good support unit around (Ephraim for example). So I get why you'd want to keep her, especially if she has good IVs (mine has +speed, -hp; which works pretty well).

 

I believe fast "-blade" tome users are some of the prime candidates for "darting blow", letting them double basically anyone on initiation. Their tome already gives them incredible fire power.

 

Other than that, fast "brave" weapon users might be able to quad attack more units. But is moreso a buget alternative to "Life and death", "Swift sparrow" and "Death blow".

 

On the point of "Rainblow": that concept has crossed my mind once (with the very same name), but it would be bad compared to other similar skills. You typically want to defeat the enemy before they can counter, which is more feasable with a higher boost to attack (and speed in case of desperation). It also makes the defensive boosts rather pointless. Furthermore, the boost "Fury 3" provides is slightly higher and works on both turns. The non-lethal damage can be used to your adavantage too (safely entering "depseration" range, and training staff users).

[Shradow]

The new FE Warriors maps are really neat, with the swarms of really weak enemies (even on Lunatic they're not great) coming in every turn and stuff. A shame there's not a banner for it, having Hinoka on a banner would've been pretty sweet. Also, the maps give full SP even after defeating them, so since all the units are so weak and there are so many of them, it's perfect for grinding SP especially on the weekends.

 

Also, this is my current team I mentioned before, I finally bothered taking screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/HciEw

 

With Ike's Ally Support and Lancina's +3 Atk/+6 Spd, Bike is so damn good. All I need is to plop him down and hit end turn and enemies just walk to their deaths. The other three CYL units do nothing to him, Reinhardt does nothing to him, hell even guys like Ryoma do nothing to him. After I got him QR I just breezed through a flawless Arena run today.

[Astro Dude]

I tried the Crimean pull, third time was the charm. I got Elincia, her IV is +HP, -Res. Is that good?

 

Also, now that we know Zacharias is Bruno, Maybe one of the chapters will, at the end, have Loki come right the heck out of nowhere, mortally wounding Veronica and Bruno, while posing as Alphonse. The order of Heroes is shocked to see Loki as Alphonse and Loki heads back to Embla, disguised as a servant. Alphonse, Sharena and Anna take Bruno and Veronica back to the Askr Kingdom. While tending to their wounds, Loki reveals his true form to all of Embla and informs them that Alphonse has killed Prince Bruno and Princess Veronica and has declared himself the new King. With his own version of the summon gun, he has called forth Heroes of Evil:

 

• Gharnef
• Jedah
• Manfroy
• Veld
• Idunn
• Nergal
• Lyon
• Ashnard
• Ashera
• Validar
• Garon

He declares vengeance against Askr and demand their soldiers to take all their sorrow and turn it into anger. He also summons monster hordes: Red Zombies, Blue Zombies, Red eyes, Blue Eyes, Green Eyes, Centaurs, Risen, Faceless, Red Blue and Green Witches and phantasms. He sends forth these armies to their respective worlds and cause chaos among them, using the chaos as a power source for the Demon Dragon of Embla.

 

Meanwhile Bruno and Veronica wake up and Bruno, unmasked, thanks them for all they've done, although Veronica left wanting to leave. Bruno asks us to find her and joins us, the catch is Bruno has lost most of his power when he was wounded so, he's a 1* unit when he joins us.

 

Edit: Tomorrow we face off against one of the most imposing figures in Fire Emblem History, the Black Knight. Everyone, Gird your loins and... oops, out of game experience. Just, give it all you got.

[Astro Dude]

bump: The Tempest Trial has begun. And I already got the 4* Black Knight.

 

Oh, bte I got 5 heroes from the seals quests.

 

I'll go through my heroes roster for anyone that doesn't have a Special. You guys tell me who would benefit. I have Beruka with Night Sky and Glimmer, Shanna with Chilling Wind and Iceberg, Lon'qu with Vantage, Virion with NS and Astra, Henry with Glowing Ember and Ignis.

 

I plan to give Mathilda Glacies. But should I give Takumi Vantage?

Whom should I give what special?

 

While Shanna can be used to give others "Iceberg", I would advice to use her for "Depseration 3"; it is a viable ability, and she is the only unit to get it at 4 stars. Tharja, Linde, Nino are all prime candidates for that skill (especially if they are +speed). Niles can also be used for Iceberg, while hardly being useful for anything else.

 

Beruka is a bad unit for inheritance; Glimmer is either overkill or has hardly any effect (Dragonic aura is far more consistent), Alfonse is one of few units that could benefit from "Defiant defense", "Lunge" is quistonable in utility and "Killer axe" is outclassed. Either send her home for feathers, or build her if you like her. If you decide to built her, Ignis is supposedly her best special.

 

Virion could be used to give someone "Astra", before transferring "Galeforce" alongside some other 5 star exclusive skills ("Brave lance+" and "Triangle adept" from Cordelia for example). You could merge him to +10 at 4 atars to have a somewhart viable archer at your disposal for Arena assault and alike.

 

Units with high defense/resistance that hold a killer/slaying weapon are prime candidates for "Ignis" and "Glacies" respectively.

 

Units that can counter at any range (Camus, Xander, Black Knight, Takumi, etc.) can benefit reasonably well from Vantage… or it could screw them over by fully charging the enemy's special on attack.

[Shradow]

CC/DC units want either Vantage of Quick Riposte and it depends on their Spd/tankiness. For example, a common Ryoma build is Fury + Vantage since he'd be at 38 Spd meaning he'd get doubles a lot as it is. Camus is similar, having 36 Spd with the Fury + Vantage build and more if you're going cavalry buffs, but if you're not running those probably not.

 

Meanwhile slower/average Spd units that are tankier want Quick Riposte since it allows them to attack twice. For example, guys like Xander, Ike, and the Black Knight (if you're not giving him Fury) are prime candidates. It goes great with Steady Breath, if you have the Bikes to feed them, as well as Aether for sustain.

 

Hector is an exception, wanting Vantage because Armads already gives him a built-in Quick Riposte 2.

 

So Takumi probably wants Vantage since while his Spd of 33 isn't enough to double a lot of important units, he's not tanky enough to make use of Quick Riposte very effectively.

[Blake]

Camus is commonly accepted to optimally have QR, not Vantage. Vantage is better in niche builds.

[Astro Dude]

True, but Fury is a bad skill to use if the battle becomes drawn out. The more you use a unit with Fury, the more chances you risk losing that unit in battle. Not Smart to use a Fury unit with 1 hp left against an opponent that can take them out if they have the same amount of HP as a twig.

 

Also, tried the Crimeans pull again, nothing good. Fortunately I had 39 orbs when I did that. So I'll get more orbs, then try a different banner.

 

Which Unit from Crimea will get the 4* treatment?

 

Will we have another FEH Channel broadcast? Will we see the schedule for October?

 

Also, Here's my setup:

 

I'll give Elincia Astra, Effie Glimmer, Takumi Vantage, my Lover Tharj-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

*Tharja hit me with a curse that aged me rapidly.

 

Des...per...ation...

 

*Sakura heals me.

 

And the only good units that can benefit Ignis I have are:

• Matthew
• Stahl
• Subaki
• Donnel
• Nowi
• Arthur
• Saizo
• Selena
• Gordin
• Barst
• Cherche
• Sully
• Laslow
• Masked Marth
• Bartre
• Tobin
• Jakob
• Seth

Which of these guys or girls should I give Ignis too?:

[Shradow]

I finally finished S ranking the support between Lancina and Elincia, now Lancina is giving her +5 Atk and +8 Spd during combat when adjacent. So combined with Death Blow, Elincia is attacking at 57 Atk/45 Spd. When Desperation is active she's an absolute quadding machine.

[Astro Dude]

Nice.

 

Anyway, the roster's big enough, time for some new Daily Heroes. Here's my lineup:
 

• Minerva
• Tiki
• Katarina
• Gray
• Genny
• Eldigan
• Roy
• Lyn
• Tana
• Nephenee
• Chrom
• Azura

If not replace, add. Meaning have two different Daily Hero quests instead of one, especially since we already have all the Daily Heroes by this point.

 

Speaking of, for October, why not introduce Beast units? This will introduce new heroes with BeastKiller weapons. That is what October should be: Month of the Beasts. Staring off, a new Paralogue featuring the Fates own Father Daughter teams, cause why should Chrom and Lucina be the only ones? Granted we have Hector and Lilina but still...

 

For the first part we have Kaden (Voiced by Max Middleman) and his daughter Selkie (Voiced by Kira Buckland (I do not want another Cindy Robinson taking the place of E.G. Daily voice character)). The second part will have Keaton (voiced by Gideon Emery) and his daughter Velouria (Voiced by Angela Marie Volpe) And the final act will have all fur of them.

 

Next, a new chapter featuring Laguz. These will be Lethe, Ranulf, Vika and Tibarn.

[Shradow]

Holy funking sheet:

 

Azura's weapon is insane.

[a bad post]

Holy funking sheet:

I'm screeching!!!! I want all of them!!!

[Shradow]

For a second I thought they were going full on with the Dark Olivia thing that got started but she doesn't use swords so no Wo Dao. :(

[Astro Dude]

That and we get Inigo, the original form of Laslow, as a male dancer. Seriously, get this guy a panflute. What's worse, Dancer is a female class. If it were me, he should be a spoony bard. Wait, wrong franchise. And I'm rather disappointed Shigure is not a Kinshi Knight like in the original. Seems off. Either way, new units are new units. Plus it would be hilarious to have Inigo and Laslow interact, seeing as how they're the same person.

 

I just hope we go back to Tellius. I would love to see how this game handles Shinon, Rolf and Mia

 

Sharp Tounge: Shinon.

 

Weapons:

• Iron Bow
• Steel Bow
• Silver Bow, Killer Bow or Brave Bow
• Killer Bow+, Brave Bow+ or Aqqar, a crossbow with built in close counter

Apprentice: Rolf

• Iron Bow
• Steel Bow
• Rolf's Bow
• Rolf's Bow+

Cheerful Merc: Mia

• Iron Sword
• Steel Sword
• Wo Dao
• Wo Dao+ or Tempest Blade, a sword with built in Distance Counter.

Astro, this is honestly a little annoying. We really don't need every other post in this thread to be a long list of speculation and charting out rosters. If you'd love to see how this game can handle them, why not just wait and see for yourself?

 

And yeah, Dancer is traditionally a female class, except part of Inigo's character is that he practices dancing so he can follow in his mom's footsteps. Fans honestly have wanted Inigo as a Dancer. Not a Bard, a Dancer. So it's great to see him finally get a proper Dancer outfit. Shigure isn't a Kinshi Knight because… honestly, just look at who the characters are. Olivia and Azura are the main Dancers of their respective games, and Inigo and Shigure respectively are their sons. It's two mother and son combinations, all of whom have a reason to be Dancers, rather than just getting four random Dancers from all over the series. Azura/Laslow is also a popular ship in Fates (Which further connects all of these characters) because of their respective backgrounds involving dances, and it's especially ironic if Soleil is their daughter, because Azura is a Songstress, yet Soleil is the worst singer in the game.

 

My only disappointment here is that they didn't use this as an opportunity to introduce Soleil in the game. Except I'd rather them not do what they did with Charlotte, where they introduced her in a special outfit from an event before adding her typical appearance to the game. I'd rather have Soleil introduced as a Mercenary, so at least we have two different versions of her father and her grandmother first.

 

Fates also went out of its way to make every class unisex. The only reason Shigure can be a Kinshi Knight in Fates is because they extended the Sky Knight class to males. If a male from Fates can have a traditionally female-exclusive class, then Inigo as a Dancer makes all kinds of sense.

[Shradow]

Maybe we'll get a dancer/singer/bard/etc. banner that's not seasonal and then they can add characters like Tethys and Nils.
