Lucky bugger. I managed to get to 22/3 orbs after all the free ones from the update today... and the board was entirely red. As such, I only decided to summon 1 character: 4-star Tharja. She hits like a fucking truck, but she won't be able to match Leo purely because of his ability to move 3 spaces, and his significantly better Special ability (because Vengeance fucking sucks). Guess I'll try again in the next couple of days. Oh, and I've only not been able to do the "beat the Seventh Stratum with X team" missions. Marth and Roy came close thanks to Olivia's Dance, but there's no way my Spear users nor Camilla can do it on their own.
20 more orbs, here goes more summons! Board this time is 2 Colorless, 2 Blue, 1 Red. First colorless gives me... 3-star Wrys... (I have 4-star Sakura god damn it) First blue gives me... another 3-star Est. Starting to sense a pattern here. The red gave me... 4-star Tiki! We take those. Second blue gave me... 3-star Shanna... get out of my face woman. And finally, the second colorless gave me... 3-star Azama. What a shitty set. EDIT: Fortunately, Corrin and Olivia can get the job done for me, even if Ogma and Lon'qu are tagging along as Lv. 1 dead weight. Lances and Axes though... *starts laughing hysterially*
Yeah I do have a very good lancer now but I have exactly 4 axe users. An almost maxed Frederick 4*, level 1 Frederick and Gunter, and Anna. I'm not getting much done with them.
All I have in the way of a good axe user is Frederick, who's level 20. With Lances, I think I have a Lv. 20 Oboro and Sharena is about Lv. 20 as well. Those are gonna be rough.
Young Tiki or Older Tiki? You can tell by the voice, one sounds like a child, the other an adult. From what I've heard, the younger version is just that little bit better than the older version. btw, the story characters are actually pretty damn good once ranked up. For anyone who doesn't end up pulling good units from summons and doesn't want to spend money on the game, having 3 really solid units, one of each main weapon type, they can just build up to get some really good units instead. Sharena's 5* weapon has 16 Attack, and acts as a free Threaten Atk 2, inflicting Atk -4 on enemy units within 2 spaces at the start of the turn. She keeps Rally Attack, and gets Fortify Def 3 too. -4 Atk on enemies, +4 Def for allies is huge. Alfonse's 5* weapon has 16 Attack, and gives him Atk+5 at the start of the turn if he's below 50% health. Not bad on its own, but made even better when combined with Death Blow 3 for +6 Attack if you initiate combat. POWER! That power combined with Sol can let him heal a decent amount if he gets the chance to. Spur Atk 3 to give allies +4 Attack is good too. Sure, he can't compare to all of the amazing Sword Lords, but it's not bad. Anna is probably going to be most people's best axe user if they don't get good rolls. 16 Attack from her axe, can warp to any ally if her HP is below 40%, gets Astra for 150% boost to damage, Vantage 3 to counterattack first when attacked at below 75% HP, and Spur Res 3 for +4 Resistance to adjacent allies? Potential to be an absolute monster. Of course, almost everyone will roll something better than them at Rank 4, meaning that their promotions to Rank 5 will have to wait.
Spoiler: You can tell by their voices Yep, no discernable difference besides their voices, that's for sure.
Finished the story on Lunatic now. Well and truly spent every single orb possible, at this point. The last 4 missions I needed to do pushed me up to 25 with the daily bonus, so I rolled. 5 Reds again. Level 3 repeat of something, I don't even remember. Stopped rolling, tried again. Varied board - colourless, 2 blues, a green and a red. I rolled a bunch of repeats + Level 3 Frederick. I am now mad.
I'm banning you. I reached 20 orbs, so I started the summon board again. 4 reds and a green. The green was a Rank 3 Bartre, a duplicate unit. I ragequit summoning again.
Just saving even more karma for your quintuple pull man. I didn't get shit this time at least, just some 4 stars I'm gonna save for skill inheriting.
Time for more pulls! This time on the table, we have 2 Green, 2 Red, 1 Colorless. First Green is... Fae! (4-stars) Solid. First Red is... Fir! (4-stars) I've seen her, I don't think she'll be a good fit considering I have both Corrin and Olivia on all my squads, but maybe as a B-team member. The colorless is...Clarine... (3-stars). Fuck off horse girl. The second red is... Laslow (3-stars). Fuck off Inigo. And finally, the second green is... Beruka... (3-stars). ...can I have a good unit outside of Corrin now?
Hey I don't wanna burst all of your bubbles and pls don't ban me @Professor Oak but I got another 5 star :> Spoiler
My RNG has been acting really interestingly. For the last three pulls, I've gotten duplicates (Sully, Laslow, M Robin 3*s), but the last roll I managed to get 2 Lachesis' as well as 1 Merric.
I'm just glad I managed to pull Ephraim because now Roy doesn't have to carry the team and break his back whIle doing so.
Fuck this. Rolled repeats. All lower level than what i already had too. This better be building to getting hector, azura, takumi, nowi and lucina or smth.
Welcome to "gacha" games my friend. Unless you like spending 1k+ on the game you need to roll with what you got and get as far as possible with what you have to work with. It's the nature of the beast.
Time for some more rolls! On the table today is 3 red, 1 colorless, 1 blue. The first red is... another 3-star Tiki. Too many damn Tiki. The blue is... another 3-star Shanna. Fucking... The second red is... 3-star Henry! This is my first Henry, he's my favorite Dark Mage, should be loads of fun after I, you know, puff him up. The colorless is... 3-star Virion. Fuck Virion. And finally, the third red is... 4-star Cain! Very nice, he'll be a solid addition. EDIT: Sent 8 dupes home, FINALLY have over 20k feathers. As soon as I get seven more Great Scarlet Badges, 5 star Corrin will be mine.
Reached 22 orbs after doing challenges and having daily bonuses. Rolled: Spoiler Adult Tiki 4 star, which is meh cos I have Level 20 3 star Adult Tiki already, so w/e Matthew 4 star, which is meh cos I have Level 20 3 star Matthew already, so w/e Setsuna 3 star, which is meh cos I have Level 20 3 star Setsuna already, so w/e Draug 4 star, which is shit cos I already have 4 star Draug whoever that archer is is new though, and he seems alright to me, but is only 3 star =/ UPDATE: Gordin was the archer - he's +HP, -Spd. Fucking shit. The 4-star Tiki is apparently +Def, -Atk, which is not ideal. The Setsuna is apparently -HP, +Spd, which isn't bad. Draug was +HP, -Spd. idek Matthew is +HP, - Res. I'm not convinced by that either. FFS. Spoiler: other units Main units: Marth is -HP, +Atk. Not bad. Roy is -Def, +Atk. Still worse than Marth in everything but HP and Res lol Leo is -HP, +Atk. Not bad, but kinda wish he was +Spd =/ Camilla is -Atk, +Spd. That -Atk is so noticeable... Catria is -Spd, +Res. Fuck that sucks. Backup units: Sheena seems to be +Def, - Spd. idk how useful that is. Clarine seems to be +Def, - Atk. That's not too bad. I suspect my Kagero is +HP, -Atk. Fuck. Apparently my Lissa is neutral. Oboro seems to be +Def, -Res. I guess that's useful? Sucks she's even worse against Magic tho. Selena is +Spd, -Def. Seems good to me. Tharja is -Spd, +Def. FUCK. My 4-star M-Robin is +HP, -Spd. FUUUUCK. Abel is +Atk, -Res. Arguably as good as it could be. Donnel is +Atk, -Def. idk about that. Lilina might be -Spd, +Def, which is fucking awful. My Narcian seems to be neutral. Are all neutral? My Wrys also seems to be neutral. My other 3-star Setsuna is -HP, +Res. Might just be useful, higher Res giving her a chance vs Mages, as well as the Daggerbreaker weapon effect and Bowbreaker ability. Lon'qu seems to be -Def, +HP. Not sold on that. Felicia is +Spd, -Atk. Not convinced at all. Hinata is +Def, -Atk. Crap. I have no idea what Hana is. The calculator sucks lol Shanna seems to be neutral. I think my F-Robin is neutral, but the calculator sucks. Are all neutral? My Olivia seems to be neutral too. The story heroes seem to be neutral, I guess all are? Azama is +Def, -Res. Sully is +Spd, -Def. That's actually not too bad. Gwendolyn seems to be -Def, +Res. I think that's not bad. Eliwood 1 is +Def, -Res. I think it balances his stats out, idk what it's like. My 3-star Tiki-A is +Def, -Spd. That's worse than the -Atk one lol Virion is -HP, +Def. w/e My 3-star Matthew is neutral, apparently, as is the Sophia. Draug is +Atk, -Spd. Better than the +HP one at least. Florina is neutral. I think all the gift heroes are neutral now. Arthur is -Spd, +Def. SHIT. Cain is -Atk, +Def. Shit. Henry is neutral. Saizo is -Def, +Res. I think that's good for balance, but not ideal. Barst is neutral. Ogma is +Atk, -Def. Not the best, but ok. Eliwood 2 is -Atk, +Spd. The Speed boost is great, but the Atk drop is naff. Odin is +Spd, -HP. Pretty good, but Odin's pretty crap :< Bartre is +Atk, -Spd. A shame. Frederick seems to be +HP, -Res. Not ideal, but alright.
Did a pull, got 5 3 stars. Rip 5 star luck. Also why the hell are the upper stratum mage enemies so God damn fast? Seriously 32 speed on all 3 enemies on the 7th stratum is stupid.
I win. Pulled a +Def -Spd Lucina off the princess banner. It's still a Lucina though, she'll barely get doubled anyway. Oak can spout obscenities at my luck while I keep helping team Lucina run all over Alfonse's sister.
Disgusting. I'll still be pulling off the one with Sanaki and Klein because I'm up to an 8.00% chance to pull a 5 star and I really want one of those mages. I also really don't need any more Red Sword users, which is most of what the prince/princess packs are. I'm really annoyed by the prince/princess gauntlet thing. It's the first thing in this game to really tick me off. It encourages bandwagoning, doesn't reward strategy, instead rewards people who can afford to play every 30 minutes, and pits Sharena against Top Waifu round 1 :( -- What does anyone think about the coming Skill Inheritance? Will it break the meta? What kind of skills are you hoping certain characters will get? Personally I hope they keep special weapons like Nino's (and Tharja's) as well as Corrin's unique to those characters, because if they started passing those around it could get ugly. Imagine Rauðrblade+ on Lilina (76 damage if fully boosted, which kills Julia, male Robin and Kagero easily - and then you can factor in her special Rising Flame and yeah...). And Corrin's would be limited to Nowi I assume, but Nowi is already a great unit, giving her that strong of a debuff would make her ridiculous. I am excited if it means passing around useful buffs, assists, and passives however. It would make it easier to build more various teams, since you wouldn't be limited by skill distribution of Spurs and Rallies. The AI units in tower are probably a good preview of what it will look like, since they will often have heroes whose abilities aren't available currently.
Fury'd Brave Weapon users will probably invoke a defensive change to a lot of the glass cannons we have going around, as any natural boost to Attack on them is insane. Fury in and of itself will be highly coveted for boosting the BST of arena teams. It'll be interesting to see if it really takes off or not. It'll probably break one or two heroes for a little bit, then someone will find an easily farm-able counter meta skill to whatever is dominating, but really it's for the best. Gives people a way to make answers for the heroes with relatively few reliable ones (Takumi etc) while not breaking the top tier heroes, at least not much more than they are already. I think this'll only affect the top 10% of arena players the most since those are the whales (and hackers) who will have the most resources to maximize the system. And I needed an offensive Red since Roy wasn't cutting it against the best. Maybe when I can give him an offensive or defensive skill... Spoiler: Also a much needed image
I'll give my opinions on the new gameplay feature later (about time they filled that spot!), but in the meantime I have 24 orbs and a 5-star Corrin. Let's do this and hope for a good Lance user now that I'm training up Female Robin for my Green spot... or Takumi. Takumi's always good. Field today is 2 Blue, 1 Colorless, 1 Green, 1 Red. First blue is... 3-star Sully. Meh, could be better but I do like her. First Sully so no complaints. The colorless is... 4-star Serra! Not sure if I have a 4-star Serra by this point but I definitely have no complaints about that. The green is... 4-star Barst. I think I actually already have a 4-star Barst, if not then OK cool. If so he'll get merged into the other one. The red is... 3-star Laslow. FUCK OFF BUDDY. Your mom is far superior. And finally, the second blue is... 4-star Jagen. OK, cool. So that leaves me with 2 Jagens and 1 Oboro for 4-star Lances and no Takumi... should probably give Oboro a go, she /does/ have a Heavy Lance after all.
lol pulling off Oboro's Resistance is fucking ass, but she's pretty bulky and hits decently. Worth a go imo. I won't rage at pnerd getting Lucina... yet. I've got 1 day to go before I can give it another try myself. We'll see me fail again
ok so kinda fuck my life, but also kinda yay? Draug 3-star - I've got about 7 of these now Olivia 4-star - ok, I had 3-star Lv20, but ok. Effie 4-star - arguably 2nd best Knight, not bad (and at -Spd, +Res, apparently the best for Effie) Fir 3-star - at least it's new! Corrin-F 4-star - ayyyyyyyyyyyyy (shame it's -Spd like everything else I own) So out of curiosity, I used a Fire Emblem Summon simulator to find out how long it'd take me to get a Lucina: Orbs Used: 1440 $ Spent: $767.52 Yeah fuck that noise, I'll just not bother. At least in that sim I also pulled the following 5 stars, in order: Elise (focus), Hawkeye, Nowi, Eirika (focus), Eirika (focus), Eirika (focus), Eirika (focus), Peri, Roy, Elise (focus), Elise (focus), Eirika (focus), Eirika (focus), Roy, Chrom, Roy, Eirika (focus), Lucina (focus), Eirika (focus).
It's ok, Elise got decimated as well. The matchup for her was actually already a blowout only an hour after it had began.
lgi Chrom I'm more jealous of @Professor Oak's 4 star Corrin than anyone's Lucina. -Spd isn't that bad for her, since she's kind of a tank. Compared to neutral speed Corrin-F, she only loses doubling +Spd Hector (this is the Hector with highest stat total), and neutral Nowi and Camilla. None of those are really matches she's supposed to be fighting in anyway, so not a huge loss. The biggest downside is getting doubled by +Spd Takumi, as well as neutral Lucina and Nino. But, if your Corrin is +Def, then Takumi is barely a threat (9 damage per hit, 18 total) and Lucina still takes a lot of damage if you trade with her because her res is below average. So that Corrin might be surprisingly good. Also remember her weapon debuffs speed, which means after that, the only thing that will be doubling her even with -Spd is +Spd Linde (also, +Spd Linde barely misses a 2HKO on you after Corrin's debuff if Corrin is +Res). My sob story is that the Nino I've been waiting to 5 star for ages turned out to be +HP -Spd. What am I supposed to do with that? P.S. RIP Sharena never forget P.S. 2 Chrom is actually holding on with only a 2 mil deficit (was 20 mil when I went to bed last night)! let's beat back Absolutely Disgusting and win pls.
Oh right, I think I added everyone that left their FC. My username is Eljay. FC for those that want to add me is 7687261291.
I'm so mad they just added a pack with 5 star Nino as a focus that expires in 4 days. I really want to try and pull her... but what's the point if it's going to be gone before I can pull again, since I'll probably just pull 5 3 stars as usual. Edit: Here goes the pull... Starting off with 2 red, 2 blue, 1 colorless. All possible focus group 5*s. Only 1 shot for Klein, but otherwise good news. 3 star Olivia... hopefully her boon and bane is good, my 4 star Olivia could be replaced. 4 star Florina. Meh. 4 star Selena. I already have a 4 star one of her at lv 35. Will compare boob/bane. 3 star Soflee. No comment. 3 star Mashu(?). Looks like trash. No comment. Should've went for Nino. Edit 2: Olivia was -Atk +Def. While that seems useful if you're just using her for support and not for attacking, she can't wall much anyway. Neutral Ryoma and Lucina kill her in two hits, which means a +Spd of either of them can double and kill her in one turn. There are some scenarios where +Def is useful: vs Lyn and Takumi. +Atk Lyn doubles her, but misses 2HKO. +Atk Takumi 2HKOs her, but Takumi needs +Spd to double her. However, -Atk is a drag, even on a support character. I'll probably keep my 4* Olivia, which is +HP, -Spd. -Spd sucks too (getting doubled by neutral speed Lucina/Ryoma), but meh, at least she can hit back for more damage. The extra HP helps vs Nino and stuff. I'm mainly too lazy to spend 5 more hours and 2000 feathers to level up the 3* to lv 40 4*. As for my new Selena, she's -Atk +Res, so yeah... she's turning into feathers or fusing with my +Def -Res Selena which is already high leveled.
