Fire Emblem Heroes: (ed. NOT) Still Waiting for Tellius

[Chaore]

Survival maps are interesting, especially with an extra couple of quest conditions thrown in. I can see this being a thing for sure. They're maps where just bringing a Fury beatsticks and a dancer isn't a viable strategy, which is great. Shaking things up is good.

Basically, this is the content they should've been adding like a month ago, and it's still not...super much. But they're trying for once.

That Ike lipservice though.

[Zelinko]

Could they go down any harder on Ike?  I mean did they at least use a napkin after they finished?

Still neat idea but needed help for execution.  The entire LOL INVULNERABLE UNIT to force the full duration of reinforcements was kinda cheap but eh.  If you're going to force a mechanic to show up works I guess.

[Conqueror]

Black Knight GHB will be a defend on the port map where he charges forward with Embla's Ward.

Hector, Azura, Ryoma, Takumi banner at 5% odds

Uh, guys

Mages gauntlet is next, so another banner with Linde, Julia, Sanaki, Tharja and a bunch of dudes.

[commandercool]

Presumably Tharja steamrolls this one. I hope once we get enough of these under our belt we can do a gauntlet of all of the gauntlet winners.

[Conqueror]

Yeah, a gauntlet of champions would be pretty interesting!

I blew the rest of my orbs on the OP banner since not only is it boosted % but we probably aren't getting a banner this good until powercreep kicks in. I got Ninian and Hector, attesting to the fact that all my luck in life is going to this gacha game. I should probably fix that. Anyway, I hope I can save up enough orbs before Micaiah or the summer units get added.

Stream also mentioned some arena changes think plus something that gave out a 5* unit as a reward, so I'm interested in what that's all about.

Can we all mention that Xander has 61 HP on his grand hero map and might be most likely we'll be getting a survival map!?! (Why did he have to come the day the Kancolle Spring event, it starts on May 2nd too)

I wouldn't mind a 5* Hero reward for arena also... what was that message about Veronica are we getting her as a GHB or are we getting something story related again???

I agree with commandcool on this one most likely Tharja will sweep the next gauntlet.

I'm also salty I want to get Takumi and Ryoma off the banner but, I lack the orbs to do so...

[commandercool]

Can anyone who plays Hector or otherwise feels like they have insight into him comment on how valuable you feel like Pavise is on him? Roommate just asked for some FEH coaching because he isn't ever winning arena defenses and my main advice was to replace Pavise on Hector with something offensive, and give him Vantage (he previously had Knock Back for some reason).

Just wanted to double check that Pavise isn't doing a bunch of work that I'm overlooking, but I generally have no trouble mowing down Pavise Hectors while occasionally being checked by Bonfire or Moonbow.

[Conqueror]

Hector on arena defense isn't that strong imo since he lags behind everyone, making it easy to people to mop him up after everyone else is dead. But Vantage Hector can teamwipe if no one can one-shot him, or WoM Hector for surprising opponents who don't check skills carefully.

I don't think a defense special is that useful for Hector, but I haven't done the calculations. Bonfire is great though, especially with vantage

peyote retort post: incoming

[OverlordChirei]

Welp I got two new things out of this but i'm not satisfied

[MewMewHeart]

Yes Chirei I'm training those dupe Lon'qus and everything for skill inherits Imma slap vantage on Ryoma.

Btw is there gonna be a running gag involving me and peyote everytime I bitch about dupes?  :derp:

I do it to everyone

[MewMewHeart]

Yay.~ Also speaking of that I'm almost done training the dupe Lon'qu once I'm done I'll transfer the Vantage skill to my Ryoma.... hrm question do you think Pivot or Repostion (Whatever the skill name is) is better for him?

[OverlordChirei]

They both have their uses. I like Reposition more, but Pivot lets you cover more ground.

[commandercool]

I think it depends on whether you want the unit on the front line or not. Pivot is for moving yourself, Reposition is for moving others. I would probably use Pivot on Ryoma.

[MewMewHeart]

I might go with Pivot... hrm now I know Erika has Pivot, but other than that who else has it?

@commandercool I figured people would go with Pivot I mean it helps alot plus I think I might have ended up with a hp/atk/spd Ryoma

Edit: I think I might have shot myself in the foot for feeding all of those Cherches I had.... because she has Pivot....

this is what we call the peyote withrawal symptoms

[Edible]

I tend to prefer reposition and draw back, because you can (for instance) explode an enemy with your nuke of choice and then use move chains to get them out of harm's way, and repeat as needed

It's extremely good on otherwise garbage maps like twin bridges

[commandercool]

I think Reposition is ultimately probably slightly better overall, especially on mobile units, but for standard or lower movement options Pivot makes sense for tanks (or at least, bulky melee characters). Being able to take out an enemy with a fragile attacker and then have a bulky character Pivot past them to block access to them is nice. Reposition could get them out of the way, but you need room to move. Neither one is probably a wrong choice though honestly. The only time I think there's a "correct" choice is with armor units, who seem like they get much more mileage out of Pivot.

Thank goodness I didn't get rid of those dupe Subakis yet. :derp:

[commandercool]

Not a troll, I swear. I just didn't have a better way to get Glacies.

[OverlordChirei]

You already have Iceberg, though. Isn't that generally better for player units?

[commandercool]

I want to experiment with Glacies because I'm finding that I very frequently waste my Iceberg killing enemies that were going to die anyway. Maybe it'll turn out that Glacies is too slow, but I've wished I had it instead of Iceberg enough times that I want to try it.

maybe you'll wish you mained felicia in smash instead!!111

[Mеа]

maybe you'll wish you mained felicia in smash instead!!111

it's too bad about her placement on the tier list. She's been heavily nerfed ever since smash4 removed the tripping mechanic

[MewMewHeart]

Got my Pivot from a dupe 4* Marth (because FEHeroes wiki didn't mention him having it) and slapped it onto Ryoma AND HOLY SHIT I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN Astra (200 SP), Vanatage 3 (300), and Pivot (225)... this is gonna be a pain, but I will not lose!!!! Also holy hell Minerva hits like a truck... and Spring Lucina is pretty good if it comes to fighting red units.

[OverlordChirei]

bonus heroes for next season

>felicia

Oh, Chirei.
