One thing this game has that's similar to the mainline FE series: you have to handicap your damage to want to level up more than your powerhouses. Meaning "don't let the waifu on the dragon kill the enemies, let this Level 1 nerd who can't even Cure yet get the kill".

Except there's no Pay2Win "Beef my army up for me" DLC for this, soooo :shrug:

Someone explain to me how the arena ratings work. My Offense is at 981 and Defense is 182, and I win game after game but my scores never seem to go up and I have no actual ranking. I'm also unclear what happens if I lose in the middle of a chain bonus.

For as many people playing this game, that's actually... Not that good. In 2013 PAD was pulling in 6-7m per godfest. I'm sure many other mobile games have eclipsed that since.

Even though Awakening and Fates have dramatically expanded the series' popularity, Fire Emblem isn't nearly the kind of ubiquitous brand that Mario and Pokemon are, so for them to still do those kind of numbers on day 1 is pretty good. Does Super Mario Run have in-app purchases beyond the cost of buying the full game?

Greet gives your friend a feather or two. When your friends greet you, you get a free feather.

They're the main chaarcter of Fire Emblem Fates. S/he has dragon blood. Actual dragon blood, not just a blessing from a dragon like many other characters in the series gets including like half the cast of Fates.

Corrin's the main character of Fire Emblem Fates. He/She (you can pick their gender) can turn into a dragon. You usually get a dragon character or two in FE games, Corrin's the first time they're the main character

I rerolled and got a Marth which was sweet, but my other rolls are somewhat underwhelming for 4 stars. Jagen cannot tank for anything despite being a paladin, Cecilia is a mounted mage which is nice, but just so much weaker compared to Tharja who I had in a prior roll, and Tiki isn't a mage? She's a melee? Is this due to RNG stats or do some characters have a huge inherent stat advantage (e.g.Tharja who had crazy speed)

Dragons target Res, but they fight at melee. Some of them have Lightning Breath though, which allows them to counter even at 2 range.

Before autocorrect just hosed my poo poo up, the second part of my question was why my greet option has been greyed out since I've started. At first I thought it was something that'd fix itself with the daily refresh, but that didn't change anything.

Man, 5-star Corrin is... not that spectacular so far. Nice ATK/SPD, large thanks to the Yato, but nothing that really establishes him to be a mainstay just yet. If Ogma and Lon'qu don't dramatically start getting better I might just stick with him, even though I don't really like Corrin.

Clarste posted:

I killed him through the wall with Nino. 9-5 was way harder for me.

Agreed, any unit that can tank maybe a hit or two from him can just wail on him through the outside wall at the tip of his attack range with a backup healer or two. Just have your last one or two units near the chokepoint to handle the other units when they come out to greet you.

9-5 is just kind of a pain. I eventually one-shot the boss with a double counterattack from Hector, but if you don't have a good Res unit otherwise it's tough hitting the boss with melee units due to the map's layout.

I don't know what makes it activate. Mine didn't activate after this reset either, but I've greeted people twice already. Do you have any friends?

So someone's managed to pull all the art/sound assets here.

If people want to just look at the character artwork (and laugh at Arthur's), they're available here.

(Also a good reference for 'is this unit in this game?').

~6 ranging between 200 and 230, all Japanese names

Speaking of crushing this pathetic game mercilessly, the altema tier list has been updated: http://altema.jp/fe-heroes/risemara

Takumi (understandably) now at the very top with Hector, who I haven't had much experience with. Robin has been extremely strong for me in arena simply because he disintegrates Takumis

Takumi, Hector and Ryoma are all high because of their ability to counter at any range. Takumi edges out Hector slightly because of his neutral coverage (Robin aside) and better movement, although Hector is much tougher to take down without possibly sacrificing a unit.

Nowi as well, though she is noticeably lower in the list. It's only 48 hours into release I guess, but altema tier lists have generally been a pretty good guide of what is best

I had been re-rolling to get better characters since I'd been up to chapter 8 and still didn't have a single Level 5. I rolled a Special Takumi and then just re-rolled because I didn't like him. Now I'm finding he's one of the two strongest characters in the game :downs:

4. One more and I get the max bonus!

I'm also at well over 3k offense, and the last time it updated I was at rank 3k, so if all goes well I'll end the season with a big fat 4,6k feathers. Maybe even 5,1k if I manage to get into the top 1000 rankings in time and can stay there.
