Being able to trigger from range is more about dumping archers/mages right off the bat than triggering the dumb skill. Ryoma owns just cause of his base stats and 1-2 range. He just has problems with dragons in PvP but I've never had a single instance in PvE where I wish he was something else.

In PvP though I'm always "wish this were lucina". Although tbh I wish my Marth were Lucina and I'd keep Ryoma but whatevs

That's the problem with Ryoma in a nutshell though, because he isn't nearly as versatile as the Falchion wielders, and he isn't as good at being a straight up murder machine as Lyn. He's undoubtedly very good and being able to snag counter kills off the AI is a cool perk, but Raijinto doesn't really synergize with the rest of his kit the same way Sol Katti (and access to Galeforce) does with Lyn.

I've been playing this casually since it came out and just rolling every time I've picked up 20 orbs. I haven't had much luck with blue units, but have red covered with both 5* Marth and Roy. Any suggests on a better team I could put together with what I have here in my box?

Replace your healer with Frederick imo. Healers are way situational, most maps you will have at least one or two blue opponents and Frederick is also good against armor since he gets a hammer.

Cherche also gets a hammer and a whole lot of attack, but has poor defences, so I suppose it depends on how you want to deal with enemy blues exactly.

You need a spear or blue book on that team really really badly

Green is a little weak with the sword heavy meta we have going right now, but blue is very strong. You should level Sharena or Donnel and promote with feathers today if you can afford it.

Donnel has very high stats at cap and a drag move, Sharena has very high stats at cap and a lot of area buffs/debuffs. Sharena is probably going to be more useful overall but if you don't have any field movement abilities you might go with Donnel.

Nothing's confirmed.

The current banners end at 0200 EST on the 15th... actually it doesn't specifically say it's EST, I just figured it somehow drew which time zone I was in. Is this the same for everyone?

Either way when the banner expires everyone's expecting new, different ones to take their places. Eireka/Ephraim/Seliph/whoever are likely going to be on it, with a possibility of the winners of the competition as well. I'd guess there will be some more story maps or maybe even whatever these Paralogues are.

edit: I also personally doubt they're reverting training tower costs back to their original values but feel free to call me out on it if it happens.

I would be surprised if the low level training costs didn't get adjusted from their half-cost prices but I think it's pretty unlikely we'll see the values double, yeah. I think it's obvious some mistakes were made with the game's stamina system.

Okay, I'm genuinely beginning to believe that defense is being undervalued pretty significantly at the moment. I've managed to run a bunch of 7 win ranked arenas at this point by forcing unfavourable trades.

One of the biggest assertions running is that Chrom is bad because he doesn't double anything. But equally, Chrom kills every single other sword lord in the game as long as they initiate on him, since none of them kill him with a double and two hits from Chrom will kill them back. Especially when he teams with his buddy Robin, I'm in a position where I can just bait out whatever I need to, the only character that can threaten their wall is Linde.

So I do that, usually get a doublekill on turn two when Chrom kills a sword lord and Robin kills Takumi and then sweep the remainders with my Camilla. It just feels a lot safer than an offensive strategy.

So someone on the arena is being really nice, and left lyn and hector at lvl 40 without weapons so they just sat passively while I killed the other two units.

I am completely in love with Tharja/Azura as a combo team. I'm also using Sharena and Nino, and the amount of power that Tharja dishes out with all the buffs on her is just ridiculous. Almost every fight is the same, move forward on the map to give myself room to maneuver, then backup to help spread the enemy team out. Third turn Tharja normally kills two units, and if I do things right is setup to counterattack whichever ranged enemy I left alive. Turn four the last unit gets blown to poo poo by whatever, GG. Nino is nice to have on the rare occasion there is some high res blue which is basically the only unit type Tharja has any issue with. In that case load up all the buffs on Nino and follow the same plan.

I know that Azura is hard to get, but honestly she never actually attacks so you could do the same thing with Olivia, though in that case you'd want to replace Nino with someone that can buff Res.

I'm pretty sure her average stats put her at lower def than Chrom, Ryoma, Marth and Tiki. Her resistance is great though.

She also has the lowest health of any red lord, zero defensive abilities, and gets owned by dragons. She can weather a hit (which is important because she'd be garbage if she couldn't) but she'll almost never survive a second one.

I will never have a Takumi or Kagero. Still need a good physical ranged to go with Tiki/Nowi/Linde. Using Merric feels weak, there are some maps with insane healers I can't actually touch with an all-magic team, and his "Utility" kind of overlaps with Tiki's. I guess I might try to bring up a Niles or Saizo out of desperation, or maybe just skip it and level Olivia.

Some of the calculator data is just plain wrong. Check the Gamewith.jp one if you haven't already (they added an English option) but even then I've noticed some issues.

Calcs generally include the attack bonus you get from the 5* weapon (which isn't reflected in a level 1's stats if you're looking at the promotion screen or just promoted a 4*). You've gotta add the extra damage to your listed attack stat to compare to the calculator. This also may apply to any passive stat bonuses.

There are a few - Olivia at least - in the english calc that aren't included for whatever reason though. If you already have one +3 and one -3 and your attack stat is still all hosed up then it's probably just average.

PSA to all: If youre planning to reroll or on the fence about your current account, there is 36~ hours left on the current banner and chance to (relatively) easily get Takumi or any of the focus units. After that, all the current focus will be as hard to get as the rarest 5*s right now.

I picked up this game a couple of days ago and it seems pretty fun. It's a nice change of pace from PAD.

The new banners (which at least have new headliners, and possibly some new chaff underneath them as well) are coming tomorrow night I believe. It's reasonable but not guaranteed that the new content that is promised to come every 2 weeks will arrive at the same time.

And here I am not able to finish this drat Hard mission to kill units with a flyer. I missed the free Subaki because I wasn't playing the game for the first week.

On the plus side, I just rolled a Takumi. +Atk -HP nature, so pretty darn good. He'll get 1-shotted by so many things with the AI controlling him though. Got a bonus 3* Nino with +Atk -Res who will one day be a 5* shitwrecker as well.

So, I was playing heroes using BlueStacks (an android emulator), started getting the 803 error (this had happened once before, because I had linked it to a nintendo account I could uninstall and reinstall without losing my progress) tried uninstalling, and the store says Fire Emblem Heroes isn't compatible with my device, or rather, on the store page it says "your device isn't compatible with this version". Not even uninstalling and reinstalling BlueStacks helped.

Anyone got any idea what's going on here and if there's anything I can do about it?

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Try unrooting your emulator. Alternatively, just download the apk and play anyways. I think people are reporting that having a rooted device can cause the app to conclude the data is corrupted and reinstall each play session, but it won't get worse than that and actually lock you out of playing. I don't have personal experience with that though.

Since you've linked to a Nintendo account, you should be able to just unroot your emulator (possibly you'll have to do some wizardy to make the app store forget you were ever rooted; I'm not sure) and then reinstall and keep playing without problems.

It's the installation file for the game.

Realistically, if I've diagnosed your problem correctly (which isn't guaranteed), unrooting your emulator and then somehow convincing google play you're a new device (possibly by switching emulators to Nox? I don't really know) will solve your problem quickly and easily.

e: Nox is even unrooted by default so there shouldn't be an issue with messing that part up.

Just completed all story and bulletin board quests for the month, aside from the last bit of arena grinding which I'll save for when the new week starts. It seems like they were in a tough place with the amount of content they launched with, given that we have people both completing everything there is to do in the first week or two and also complaining about the stamina limitations. Maybe should have included a way to increase stamina and given out fewer free potions, I'm not sure.
