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

[Conqueror]

New update out with 2 new game modes.

[commandercool]

The new game modes are interesting. Definitely a lot of (admittedly remixed) content to work through. It's too bad there's only one relatively easy squad challenge starting out, but I imagine additional, more difficult ones are on the way.

Meanwhile I'm fishing for SFRobin in the summer banner  and just keep pulling 3* MRobins over and over. I've gotten four out of like twenty pulls. This banner is up basically forever though, so I've got plenty of time. To pull more 3* MRobins.

I honestly took one looks at 80% of the game modes listing lv.40 and died laughing.

You introduce 2 new game modes and neither of them are accessible to new players to keep them interested, just make your game look more daunting to get into.

I think they're just gonna push to their christmas set or however far they ordered art in advance and shut down at this rate.

[Conqueror]

They keep pushing out harder and more higher level content, I doubt any of it is aimed at the newer players - more likely the people with trained squads with nothing else to do.

Which is the problem I was clearly getting at, yes.

My point is that if you're aiming at retention only you're just going to subsist as long as you can, not grow. And right now that is their entire goal, which is, uh, bad.

Especially when tbh you literally screw that shit up on the easiest chance. They could easily just curve that shit like the actual story mode. There's no reason it -had- to be like this and they absolutely knew it.

It's bad, essentially, and it's  proving they really don't care about the game getting any better, so much as keeping who they can before they axe this shit.

I didn't expect to get through Tempest Lunatic using a unit that ACTUALLY is on bonus, but...



B in speed RIP

The Faye build in question.

I love it. Good job

Goddamn that's goofballs. Is it competitive? Does it work in PVP?

[The Greatest Dog]

I'm uncertain! I feel as though the build might be better on a unit that actually has a speed stat. -hm-



I'd rather have kept my 5* Faye than give that bow to someone else, though.

I feel the same way. I gave her Glacies and Breath of Life 1, so she can still kill things here and there.

New Chapter and two new gachas coming soon:

Alm's side: Matilda, Delthea (Blue), Gray (Red), and Clive? (From what I saw on the story map trailer?)

Celica side: Saber, Sonya (Green), and Leon (Woo!).

[Edible]

Two banners with 3 new units each.  Bleh.

Ouch... I'm only gonna go for Delthea, Sonya, and Leon. Please no shitty drop rate....

Edit: And foreshadowing of a Clive GHB if you saw him on the new Chapter trailer.

[commandercool]

Yes yes yes finally finally finally.

[BT]

Yes yes yes finally finally finally.

Is she a good one or

[commandercool]

Yeah, there are three dancers in the game right now, dancers are extremely useful, and she's probably the best one.

I also pulled a 5* Fae recently that I'm less excited about, but still not bad by any means.

SHE IS THE BEST ONE YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN HOLD THEIR OWN AND DANCE SHE'S THE GO TO!

And grats... here's hoping next week I can get any of my favs out of gacha unless I want to do some rolls right now which I'll probably hold off on.

[commandercool]

Is double dancers something? I feel like double dancers might be something.

[Koog]

So haven't come here in a while uni hell but I have still been playing this game a lot... and I have decided to show my bad 5 stars

I recently pulled two SFredericks in a row along with many bad colorless

Colorless is really hell

[MewMewHeart]

Colorless is really hell

That is one of my many pet peeves when it comes to gacha in this game when it's gray units bunched into one... oh boy you bet that you're gonna pull dupes, shitty ones at that.

Overall commentary: Wow! Ok I guess this time made up for the bride gacha botch up that happened last time to be honest this is great for me, I might come back for Matlida though since I want that Riderbane. (If you're wondering why I'm not interested in the summer gacha much because there's nothing good... to be honest.)

Yeah, there are three dancers in the game right now, dancers are extremely useful, and she's probably the best one.

No no I was asking if she had a good nature... Not that it'd stop you from using her anyway I guess.

Damn, grats. Welcome to the Julia club!

[commandercool]

No no I was asking if she had a good nature... Not that it'd stop you from using her anyway I guess.

Oh gotcha gotcha. Thought that was an odd question.

-ATK/+RES, which I guess is pretty ideal? She shouldn't be attacking often ideally and she tends to just auto-win or auto-lose fights, so I guess ATK isn't that relevant for her and RES arguably is. Would've preferred an HP or SPD boost, but I'll take it.

Decided to give her virtually the same set as my Olivia with Fury 3/Wings Of Mercy 2/Hone Atk 3/Moonbow. Olivia has Hone Spd instead, so the plan is to try a double dancer Gronnblade team with BunCam, Olivia, Azura, and whatever starter unit gives bonus points at the time. No idea if that's a viable strategy, but I feel like it's worth a shot.

[MewMewHeart]

Damn, grats. Welcome to the Julia club!

Thank you! I'm training her, Leon, Effie, and Karl. So, I can have a good amount of variety in my team.

[commandercool]

There we go, got her! That was all I wanted from the beach collab, so now I can move on to something else.

[Conqueror]

I now have 4 5* blue mages, but no 5* red or green mages.
Also, 9 out of my 23 5* units are either free or feathered...which is almost 40%. I wonder how that measures up against the average.

[commandercool]

I have 24 current 5* units and of those eight are either free or feathered. However, I've fed three as dupes (a Camilla and two Bride Cordelias) and one for a skill (a feathered Nino) so counting those I had 28 total 5* characters, nine of which were free or feathered and 19 of which were pulled at 5*.

So yeah, seems about par for the course for non-IAP.

[Conqueror]

Oh hey, you also upgraded the 3 starters, cool.
I did forget about my Ursula who I promoted and fed to Reinhardt, so there's that.

[commandercool]

I sure did! Best investment an non-IAP player can make frankly. And two of the three of them are even pretty legit decent.

[Edible]

"Eh whatever I'll drop 20 orbs to see if I can get Delthea or Matilda"

>get celica and ninian instead

I mean, okay.

[commandercool]

So turns out when you have infinity stamina potions you can just let the Tempest Trial play itself while you're at work and after the buff to the lower tiers it's still pretty profitable. Like 1200 points per stamina potion is reasonable.
