Pay attention to the level ups you get after. Somebody else after him said one of their guys died and then go the exact same level up on the next map, so they might be seeded in some fashion rather than randomly rolled at the time of the level up.

lol okay like 4* units themselves are ridiculously strong so unless you are in love with a 5* only unit dont stress about rerolling. 4* cordelia is murdering everyone with her idiot fishface without roys help

Yeah, here's the problem with that idea: the only people who don't reroll are super casual players who are almost certainly never going to spend any money on the game. Meanwhile the people rerolling are partially doing so because they want to get a solid start so they can play the game for a long time, and will probably drop at least a few bucks on it at some point, not to mention any potential whales.

It'd be a really dumb decision and also probably a PR nightmare once people started angrily posting about how they just wanted to play the game but have their favorite character.

the only real argument he had for me after i told him it'd happened to me once too was that it wouldn't be beyond nintendo to make a bad business decision which admittedly is a VERY STRONG argument haha

If I do that Nox thing Willi be able to transfer the account to my actual mobile?
I assume the process is that you link your Nox to your Nintendo account after you keep your reroll. Then on the first load on your mobile you link to that same account and it should pull all the data. I haven't tested it out yet though.

I have a lot of axe users and most of them are still not as good as your starter Anna, because she is absurdly fast and has good attack skills.The default units are good.

my anna has 7 defense at level 11(two more than my level 1 shanna!) so she's rapidly become unusable, it sucks

Well yeah, she's a speedster. You don't use her to tank, that's what you have other units for.

gunther's got a skill called hone cavalry that passively gives +6 atk/spd to adjacent cavalry units at the start of your turn and i can't wait to get some other cavs to have fun with that

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Tiki/Chrom/Lissa/Nino is pretty decent for me so far but the lack of mounted/flying units kinda sucks. Once I get another 10 orbs I'll probably pull a 2nd batch of 5 and hope for the best.

Tae posted:

Here's a tip for you minmaxers, a unit dying erases all their levels for that map so if you get a bad or empty level, let them die

I'm 99% certain level gains are fixed because when I was rerolling on two devices The first couple levels Anna got was identical between the devices.

Plus actual random level gains for a mobile game like this would result in skewed characters. DeNA isn't new to mobile games, they know that having units get set growth rates is pretty important for game balance and fairness.

I just checked with a unit that levelled up twice on a map then died, the next two level ups looked the same as the original so no deathscumming for perfect levels which is nice.

4* tharja might be my mvp so far, she's got great attack and her defenses have turned up pretty decent for what you'd expect from a flimsy mage

I started with a 4* Camilla after my 3rd reroll and then I rolled a 5* Robin with my first 20 stones from the story, they're both killing it. Rerolling might not be necessary for the story but I'm pretty sure it's a big advantage in the arena if you care about that at all

Has anyone succeeded in clearing the Sophia event on hard? It's going away in a few hours and you have to be level 15, so I haven't tried it. My strongest unit is 11

FYI, when you log into the game and it shows the news page, there's a link to a page with the full rotation of daily unit missions. Don't worry, you'll get another opportunity for a 2* Sophia in like two weeks, by which time you can probably just curbstomp the hard mode mission.

Arena is just battling the cpu. The quality of the units is never good enough to beat good ole bait-and-gang up.

Or if you just want to have a character you really liked, which was the main reason I did it. In the long run it's entirely possible Lyn and Florina won't be that good, but I'm happy just having my favorite girlfriends to punch mooks with.

Pretty sure it's character seeds. I kept losing on the Hard mission and everytime my guy would level up (since you don't keep exp) it'd be the same stats going up.

Also, I don't know how to FE. Why is it sometimes my guys will attack 2 times and othertimes they don't?

if a unit has 5 more speed than the opponent they get to attack twice; there's also brave weapons that get to attack twice always(and can get 4 attacks if they also have 5 more speed)

So far I have only one other green axe character aside from Anna who you start with.

Anna seems to be a 2* character, and Cherche is a 3*. If I have no particular character preference, is the 3* just gonna be better on the level? Is there any great reason to take one over the other?

Yeah and the CPU seems comprehensively bad, and far less ruthless than I remember it being in any FE game I've played. Still, the teams with 4x5*s like Lyn and Robin are going to be inherently harder than those with 4 starter units

Ahhh, I see. Thanks. Did they go over that in the tutorial? I don't remember it. I though most stats were self-explanatory but I was confused about speed; like I didn't see any kind of evasion rates or anything.
