Enjoying this so far (got a 5* Sheena and a 5* Roy with my first two pulls, so I'm happy), a couple dumb questions:

1. Are Jeigans a thing, or does everyone pretty much have the same growth rates? (AKA: should I use Gunter?)
2. If I got a 3* and a 4* Felicia, I should just merge them ASAP, right?

Don't fuse units until you promote them to a point where you don't plan on promoting them further, and only with another unit of the same star-rank. Most of the time this means promoting 5* with another 5*, but if you have a character that doesn't benefit much from the 5* rank go ahead and fuse at 4* with another 4*.

Example: I have a 4* Wrys. He gains very little from his 5* rank and isn't worth the feathers. I have a second 3* Wrys. I'll be levelling the 3* Wrys to 20, promoting him to 4*, and then levelling him (again) to 20+, then fusing him with my first 4* Wrys based on who has better stats.


VVV yeah don't bother if it's not a good unit.

For 3-star units I'd probably prefer to turn them into feathers than go through the effort of promoting them and merging.

Trying to make Beruka work is an exercise in frustration, her speed is beyond abysmal so everything just hits her twice instantly before she can ever close in.
I guess I'm better off hoping for a Camilla if I want a flying axe user.

Is increasing the rank of the three 2 star starters/OCs a good idea?

I think Anna gets pretty good at 4 stars, but the prince/princess are mediocre.

Cherche has been alright for me, though nothing special. She's doing better than you've described Beruka as anyways

I don't buy that Awakening sold because of "waifus". It sold well because it had a very crisp, popping artstyle that shined in its CG cutscenes (and consequently its commercials) and because it was basically the first really big game for the 3DS and finally gave people something to talk about in regards to the system.

after spending some time with nox emulator i feel like anyone rerolling the regular way is just a sucker. i spent a few hours with it in the background while i do other stuff and ive thrown out several double 5 stars and a few triple 5 stars.

you can open like 6 instances of it at once and macro it so they play themselves then just check in for the rolls every once in a while.

blah blah blah play the game nerd etc. this IS the game, it's a glorified slot machine and rolls are pretty much the funnest part of the gacha experience so I may as well do a bunch now for free, babys first tactics game can wait

Probably, but I think the reason it captured so many people's imaginations and time was because of the dating sim. The game wouldn't have generated nearly as much fan art and content if you couldn't kiss Chrom and Lucina, not to mention eugenics being a min/maxers dream, which means fewer people would have been anticipating future titles as eagerly.

My only issue with Awakening's marriage stuff is the significant lack of meganekko. C'mon Nintendo, one is hardly enough.

I got a Pegasus unit that can shove your characters one more square. Also Pegasus units fly over rivers and stuff

Marth can hop over units sort of so like, my horse unit moves, he hops over him to go one extra space, repeat

Finished the story mode on normal and hard. I hope they add more intresting content at a good clip. The area, special maps, and training are pretty dull so far and aren't that rewarding.


I also hope they adjust the feather numbers and add a way to increase your stamina.

I've actually been using Jagen himself, and his growths have been surprisingly decent. My only shittastic unit so far has been Raigh, who's just getting SP with maybe a Res or Def growth.

My leader is a 5* Robin, and I've got a 3* Selena who's been kicking rear end and getting perfect levels.

I got one with Camilla 5* and Gunter 4* so that should be okay but I'm trying a few more times for good measure.

If you are out of Swords or Stamina Pots, you can use an Orb to refresh, but people are suggesting this is a bad use of an Orb. Couldn't say for sure myself but I'm inclined to agree until max Stamina can be increased.
(Edit: In case it's not clear, Arena charges replenish once per day)

Yes, promoted units are the same as units pulled at the higher rarity- a 4-5*, say, Jagen should be the same as a Jagen pulled as a 5* aside from whatever stat variance units are subject to. The promoted unit carries over skills and SP earned before the promotion and that appears to be it.

You need Badges to promote 1->2->3->4*s, and Greater Badges to promote 4*->5*. Greater Badges start having a chance to appear in the Sixth Stratum, yes, but it appears to be just a chance. I'm running Seventh Stratum to train my units and i'm getting maybe 1/3rd Greater Badges and 2/3rds regular Badges myself. This has been over maybe 20 runs? 20 Greater Badges to promote a 4->5*.

If that were a roll on a committed account I would be steamed, but in the abstract that's hilarious. If two of them were 3*s you could say it was Cord and Bord!

So Galeforce in Heroes is on taking an action and not killing a unit, making it strictly better than Galeforce from the 3DS games? Seems incredibly good but I think only Lyn and Cordelia have it.

Got a four star gunter who murders everyone and looks pretty cool. Also got four star Gwen and five star bow guy. The one who looks like a girl. Gwen can pretty much take levels by herself but that slow movement is annoying. Is that a pretty good start or what.

On the main castle screen, hit the fountain where you claim the achievement rewards, then hit the coin that should be glowing in the upper right. You can claim the 10 orbs from there, and they go to the mail owl thing on the main screen. And pop in there as you go through the story to claim coins when you finish each chapter if you want to get crystals and things too.

I mean if you're doing it on an account you're keeping sure, but if I'm rerolling for a character I'd rather just hit up as many of one colour as possible to save time. Because gently caress playing the first 3 missions each time.

It's based on the number of times you attack, iirc
