Or make like Square Enix and use mobile revenue to fund vanity projects they can afford to stop caring about the profitability of. There's a bunch of series I wouldn't mind seeing revived but aren't popular enough to currently deserve it.

That's not true, you still get SP at level 40. And, well, my 5* characters had like 500 extra SP by the time they got to 40 anyway.

Ah that's a relief on both accounts. Lyn and Lucina's 500 SP skills on top of the pre-reqs for them and other passives were looking insurmountable to unlock.

ApplesandOranges posted:

You'll still have to unlock everything that wasn't already unlocked before.

Ah that's a shame, but at least now I know. Still unsure if I shouldn't just switch to Nino though. Because I've not been impressed by Cecilia's Rally and Escape Route skills. She's so squishy that I've only managed to use it to escape once.

Thanks you two!

Well, I didn't have any 500 skills to buy, so your experience might be different. But still, you can just grind it 3 at a time.

I suspect when you do advanced arena the enemy team gets buffs added.

I mean I'm playing with a 5* robin and the opposing Robin had maybe two levels on me but near double the speed and higher damage as well.

I could just be garbage with levelups though.

Just discovered that you get 10 orbs for free with Nintendo rewards. Did a summon and got a 5* Takumi.

Now my team is going to be 5* Leo, 5* Linde, 5* Takumi, and either a 4* Camila or 4* Nowi. Not sure which yet to be honest.

Ugh, despite hitting all my collectoritis buttons, I'm not really seeing the draw of the gameplay in this. It's just so bland and cut down.

I'd concur. The fact that spacing is so slim really just forces dull bottlenecks all the time unless you're using flyers, which are niche units at best. A lot of the tactics are undermined by the massive gacha imbalances, as well. As a gacha timewaster it's fair enough but as a tactical game it's pretty bad.

Sorry, man. You're just getting massively unlucky. I got a 5* on my second pull.

You're pulling from the same banner, right? The rate of getting a 5* should increase every time you don't get one, as long as you're pulling from the same selection.

Yup, always from the same.

I'm almost at an 8th penta gathered right now. If I get the same luck with this one I'll likely start over... It'll suck re-rolling until 5* again though :v:

I'd honestly just restart and use your free orbs and hope for better rolls. There is like, quite literally, a week or two worth of content (depending on how fast you play) and there is no point in sticking with subpar rolls.

also we get our 10k feathers tomorrow and a SpEcIaL SuRpRiSe!!!

it's probably going to be 5 orbs.

So is everyone just burning all of their points from My Nintendo on stamina potions? The crystal/shard rates seem kind of poo poo, the dueling crests are pretty worthless seeing as you only get rewarded for your best score, and the Light's Blessing is a limited release that may be potentially useful on Lunatic content down the road.

It does seem to lack enough depth to keep people hooked long-term, so hopefully they have plans on adding more mechanics. Larger maps would also help.

That's a decent comp, ya.

Takumi is good but overrated. I know this should be obvious but as long as he can't one-round you, game the ai so he attacks you first. You'll get a counter in and can then finish him off in the next turn. Arena team comps should be two melee/two ranged with at least one being a mage, preferably Robin. The ai is pretty easy to exploit in this game.

I have yet to run afoul of stamina. But I've just been logging in every day, collecting my daily orbs, playing a couple maps, and that's it, so I'm probably not a typical user.

I wish you could get orbs from My Nintendo coins. I wanna get more friends. I've only done two pulls, though I did get a 5* out of the second one- Abel. He's doing pretty well. He and 4* Nino are tearing poo poo up with little help from anyone else.

Yeah, I don't know how many times this game has just me shoving Effie in first and letting her wreck house before Lucina does cleanup once Effie falls. Yes, Lucina, you'll challenge your fate. I know. I know.

Other units? Yeah... I guess they're around... :effort:

There is also just the fact that there are a ton of features that juts seem completely undercooked. The Skill system is kind of baffling. My Linde is only level 33, and has 560SP with literally nothing to spend it on.

Because they fall down when a fair number of enemies look at them funny, much less attack them.

In the original games most units have access to a variety of weapons. Lyn for example gets bow access after she gets promoted - this could be easily implemented in the current system.

I figure you could gacha new skins/styles for a hero that either update/upgrade your current one or give you the new set of skills if you don't have the base model. Although in the worst case it'd just be "bow Lyn" as a new hero.

most of the pegasus knights have something they're good at, high def or res or skills that make them survivable, but being weak to bows and wind magic and having the top character in the meta in pvp being an anti-air specialist really makes it hard to rationalize having more than one on your team imo

? 111 points at 20 with a killer weapon is good

Yeah I was being a whiny baby, I've gotten her up to almost 30 now and she's tearing things up. I was comparing her to other characters in my box that were "around" level 20 but it appears stat scaling gets better at higher levels? She's started to get more consistent across the board stat increases. Triggering her skill every round is nice and she eats sword melee alive. Very good anti-armor, too, thanks to Luna
