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.

No, unrooting and using Nox instead hasn't worked... one thing I noticed though, was that when I looked in the review sections all of them said "for an older version" even for reviews made today. Makes me wonder if it's received some sort of stealth update that screws with emulators. I'll see if there's anything else I can do...

I've downloaded the APK, but I have no idea what to do with it...

EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to run the APK with Nox, it's working now. Thanks Cheetah! I can buy you a new avatar as thanks if you want.

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

I'm talking combined. She has 55 combined Defense + Resistance, which is more than anything except Tiki as far as red units go, and it's not like that's 55 Resistance and 0 Defense or anything. 26 Defense (1 higher than Lucina, 1 lower than Ryoma, 5 lower than Chrom is a godawful unit, 3 lower than Marth) and 29 Resistance (10 higher than Lucina, 9 higher than Ryoma, 12 higher than Chrom, 6 higher than Marth).

Philip Rivers posted:

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.

How does she get owned by dragons? She has the highest Resistance of any lord, period. Young Tiki can't kill her in two hits and in fact dies trying. Same with Adult Tiki and Fae (Fae barely even hurts her).

Seriously, people who say that Lyn is fragile have never used her in this game and are going off her stats in her original game, which are nothing like her stats here.

I'm just feeling grateful, and I can sometimes have something of a generous streak (I feel guilty whenever I walk past a homeless person without giving them something) so give me an image you'd like to be your new avatar, and I'll see to it making it replace that "piece of poo poo".

On a different topic, I have a +DEF Lyn, who gets 30 Def at level 40 (there seem to be a few cases where the + value ends up being +4 rather than +3, this is one such case) which has proven to be rather excellent, since her bane is RES (though this makes her less capable of just taking a hit from a mage or dragon) it just makes her that much better at killing enemy dudes with swords without getting killed herself. She also works really well with my +SPD Able (30 speed at 40, with a brave lance), since with the aid of spur speed Able can get X4 attacks on, and thus murder the crap out of, quite a significant amount of blue dudes and red mages.

So, I was told that Takumi will never be individually nerfed due to Japanese law. The only way he can possibly be nerfed is if there is a wide-scale adjustment of some kind.

Instead of googling to see if this is even true I came straight here to discuss it in pure frustration.

Yeah, "winning" this game right now is basically spending hundreds of dollars to troll a handful of people every arena cycle and to get a decently high rank which gives you feathers... which lets you upgrade characters...

...but you already have a perfect team because you're a filthy whale.

I wasn't able to get a single 7 win streak in arena this week because of Robins on deceptively low-ranked teams destroying Takumi who is my only good character, and I have no counter for it and it sucks

Takumi's "thing" is that he breaks the rules of the game and as such requires you to approach him in ways you usually can't or don't want to fight other units. Him being colorless honestly makes it even more daunting since so few units have type advantage against him. His actual numbers and such aren't that bad and he can't ever get weapon advantage against you so he's very predictable.

You really have to expect to see him on any decent strength team because not having an answer to him sucks (not "you lose" suck but definitely forces unfavorable trades). That predictability is actually really helpful, or it would be if you had any control over what units you have. I got a 5* Robin and an Abel so I basically see most of the top tiers as free arena wins, but if the new spear lords are top tier I won't really know what to do since my only decent green is a 4* Fae (and 3* Narcian I guess???).

Takumi can be nerfed, it's just incredibly bad form and looks increadibly lovely for a game to nerf cards in a game where people spend tons of money. Pissing off one mega whale is enough to lose thousands of dollars in revenue alone.

I have a 4-star kagero and since I'm not going to be able to upgrade her to 5 anytime soon, I was wondering if swapping her to the steel dagger instead of poison dagger would make sense because 3 attack seems pretty good? Or am I an idiot for thinking this? It seems like it only applies the debuff after the attack and I'm not sure how much of a bonus to infantry the poison dagger gives

Poison Dagger allows her to one-shot infantry and is literally the only reason anyone cares about her.

Edit: I don't know the exact formula, but traditionally these sorts of things multiply the weapon's might by 3 when against a super-effective matchup. And with the way defense works (subtraction), that's incredibly good.

I suggest you level up and upgrade Anna. She actually becomes pretty drat solid with a few upgrades. She's kinda like a green Lyn, (in terms of stats) high attack and speed, low def, decent res.

If they implement balance changes, I'm inclined to think it'll be through upgrade paths, not nerfs. If down the line they gave everyone new alternate abilities (right now very few characters have more than one choice for their A/B/C/Special), and Takumi's new options weren't too hot, that would bring him down a peg in the meta without actually taking anything away from him.

Kagero oneshots Linde, Azura and Lyn (with a hone attack), cripples Lucina, gets a couple of relevant 2-shots (including Marth) that Takumi can't, and wins shootouts vs. Takumi and Robin. Takumi is better against...Catria and Camilla. You tell me which one you'd rather have on arena offense.

There's very few relevant non-infantry units seeing much play right now. Hector and Camilla both get ate by red lords and Abel is pretty niche as is. Kagero just does more damage to most threats, and that's the entire point of running a neutral nuke.

Takumi is still swole as hell tho

Defense tier lists are useful for everyone--it tells you what you should be ready to face with your offense team, and, if it's well written, might even give you suggestions on how to counter them.

Offense tier lists can be useful for non-whales--like, they can provide help deciding between Marth and Lucina if you pull both for instance--but most people will have their team be fairly obvious just from what they pull.

At ~4300, Leo and Cecilia are completely irrelevant units, as are all other cavalry units not named Abel. Any falchion wielder can solo an infinite number of armors not called Effie, as can Kagero if you're using a dancer. If you're not using a Falchion wielder or Olivia, now that Olivia was in the free rotation, you'd better have a drat good reason why.

e: okay, kagero can't take hector, but neither can takumi really

Yup. They'd have to provide refunds to everyone who pulled for him. Which is basically impossible.

Final Fantasy Record Keeper has the same issue where two early relics basically warped the entire game (both gave a +300% DEF and RES boost).

Denas' solution was basically to permanently offer a banner with them on it. And many end game bosses now have attacks that ignore def/res.

But FFRK doesn't have PvP so I think fire emblem is going to be much harder to fix

I ended up rolling on nothing but neutral stones to get Takumi and exiting when I didn't pull him. With the 3% chance or however much it's boosted, plus the 3/7ths of 3% from the 5* chance you have a good shot at getting something if you open 20ish orbs. But, of course, this is coming from someone who has a 0.33% rate of getting 5* in Fate/Grand Order so variance can be a bitch.

EDIT: And just after I posted this I rolled in FGO and got a 5*. I'm just a regular luck sack here.

Hector just laughs at Kagero, but if you have a healer Takumi can take him on.

Leo is actually decent against Takumi too (high-ish defense and guaranteed double on counter), but it's true that no one plays him because he's not that good. Cecilia is irrelevant.

None of this is true. It's not against the law to nerf gacha items, they wouldn't have to issue a refund legally speaking (though the game would probably instantly die if they didn't), Sentinel's Grimoire and Thyrus don't provide +300% stat boosts, and they didn't warp the entire game. Case in point on the former issues: DeNA actually nerfed a relic in FFRK after it was released and offered no compensation for it (Yuna's Tiny Bees were originally White Magic typed on the attack command, allowing them to work with Dualcast White and White Damage Up materias; that quickly got changed to them being Natural type and thus not working with any school-specific materias).

Finally finished with rerolling. I ended up losing that Takumi/Lucina/RobinM to the 803-3013 error (or whatever number it was, basically rendered the account unusable). Settled on a Effie/Camilla pull that came with a 4* Selena. Is it optimal? Hell no, but when I was working on my second 20 orb pull, I was really having fun with the team. Considering how many times I rerolled over the past few days, I'll take that over trying to slam my face into a wall for a Takumi w/ other 5* characters roll. My second 20 only yielded a 4* Abel, but he's pretty drat good, too.

...Shouldn't Roy be super trivial to deal with for that team? But you'll definitely need a reliable counter for Hector as you go up in the ranks. Takumi + healer works in my experience (counter with Takumi, heal up, kite while healing when necessary), but that relies on you killing all his allies before he reaches you.
