Fun fact, in order to have a 95% chance of pulling Hector you need something north of 2000 orbs

I WON THE BETTING POOL ON TESSAS THIRD STUPID VOTE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS HALF-ASSED TITLE

I am not sure if they are particularly good characters for this game, but getting these 3 in 1 round of summoning basically means I will never be tempted to spend real life money on this game.



I dont even care if they are great characters or not in the game, they are exactly who I wanted to pull and along with a 5* Roy I got from the previous summoning set, I think I am reasonably well set to go!

I didn't reroll, my party consists of Subaki, Camilla, Lon'Qu, and Selena, all 4*.

I don't regret not rerolling a bunch even though I didn't get a single 5*, but I am looking at how much it's going to cost to pump from 4 to 5 and it's a bit daunting.

Cordelia's art in this game really sucks, especially compared to some of the fantastic unique styles like Arthur and Serra, or even the more traditional anime ones like Lucina and Abel (abel's art is loving amazing)

e: ~4400 feathers. not bad.

I got 1.2k or so of feathers and considering the fact that I only really did the area twice (as in go in and do six rounds twice) I am quite happy with that score.

The chance for Hector right now is 3% / 38 so of course it's gonna be astronomically hard to get him.
That's, like, just a hair over 0.075%.

So any idea when we are going to get a fresh banner?

The 14th at the latest, since that's when the current ones are set to expire. But it could be earlier for all we know because there are plenty of gacha games that have multiple sets of banners running concurrently.

I did what I told myself was going to be my last pull until new banners just now, since I've only got about 30 orbs left to earn from the launch content (chapters 4-9 on Lunatic and the last couple maps on Hard). I was planning on saving more, but I was up to 7.5% 5* rate on the Legendary Heroes banner thanks to striking out a few times so I wanted to give it one last shot. My first four stones were two 4*s and two 3*s (although the silvers were Raven and Lilina, two characters I didn't have yet), so I was getting kinda bummed. But then 5* Lucina popped out of the last red. Was angling for Hector which was why I used the greens first, but I'll take it.

Do people think Luna or Aether is better for her personal skill? She seems pretty fragile so I feel like the shorter charge time on Luna might be more valuable so she can get kills faster.

So, did the challenge maps that gave me a 1 and 2 star Donnell, then hacha'd a 3 star Donnell. Is there any point to keeping the lower stars around, or can I safely discard them?

Considering we already have two banners right now it's unlikely they'll add yet another one.

Merging the free Donnels will get you 30 SP and lower his promotion cost to 1850 feathers.

The feather discount is equal to the amount you'd get for just throwing them away though, so unless you really want that SP and will definitely promote Donnel eventually, you're better off just sending them home.

I wondering if it's worth to upgrading my 3* Tiki (Naga's Voice) since now I have enough materials and level for it.

My current team is a 5* Takumi, 5* Lyn, 5* Linde and a 3* Serra.

I think the general idea is to upgrade your favorite 3 stars until you're out of ones you want to use, then save up for a 4 star upgrade.

Based on other gacha games, it's fairly likely that the chaff before the headliners of the banner will stay the same for at least a few months, right?

There's plenty of gacha games that will have that many or more banners running on slightly offset schedules. I wouldn't expect new banners until the 14th, but there's at least a possibility of it.

So I've started leveling up alternate units because why not. Turns out Nino is actually pretty decent. Can't kill red sword users for poo poo, for some reason. But she absolutely destroys heavy armors and I appreciate that. Also Able is turning out pretty fun but I suspect that will drop off when he hits 20 or so and fights higher level dudes.

Same but for Sharena and Blue, I got 2300 feathers from the arena and I already 3*'d her. She seems to have a lot of utility at 5*, having Fortify DEF and with her weapon giving her Threaten ATK.

Man, why's no one talking about 5* Minerva? She hits like a truck, is fast enough to double almost anything, is tanky as gently caress, and her special ability means she isn't even in that much danger from archers.

Man, four days late to the party and this thread has blown up.

Judging by the sounds of it, the only fast track to getting Hero Feathers is to do well in the arena (pvp, ewww, even if it's just AI) or summon trash and ship their asses home? Ha, heck, I haven't even gotten far enough for those to matter. Two rerolls in and got a 5* Marth, which is good enough for me. Still need to work on story missions to build up orbs for a second 5-summon.

I'm kinda running with this mindset. I never played Fire Emblem before Awakening (I suck at strategy and perma-death is a HUGE turn-off), so I'm just doing this to sort out which heroes I like and which games I should try out one day. Also waiting for a decent sale on Fates/Conquest to pick up and play those.

The arena is more challenging than the story content but not especially hard. Plus, you only use the dueling swords by doing it (no stamina is spent), and they aren't used for anything else anyway. If you get a seven win-streak against the even match teams that's 1500 fethers, plus another 800 for having ranked at all and having your team win at least one defense game. In other words if you just get a 7 win-streak in arena (which is easy if you just do intermediate games), you get enough fethers to boost a guy from 2* to 4* every 3 days, and 5* is a luxury anyway for most heroes that don't get a super fancy prf 5* weapon like Falchion on Marth/Lucina.

I don't know who you're facing in the arena man, but even weak opponents will usually only take like 5 damage at best from Roy and it takes a concentrated team effort with constant healing to down even one enemy unit. Meanwhile they'll just one shot every single one of my units with ease.
