On unit relevance don't forget they're going to be add support and pair-up systems later which could dramatically alter the game balance.

I kinda doubt they'll do pair ups. My bet is that they make skill scrolls a thing but you might need to melt down a unit that has the skill in question, want a close counter Kagero? You can have one if you smelt a Takumi!

a pair-up system would be a really great way to add more units to the field without having to have more than 4 units under player control on the map at a time

even if it was just a lame junction system where it just granted stat boosts it would be a good incentive to keep a very large stable of leveled up characters

I bet the tiers advance every week you participate in PVP as a means of segregating new players from long time players.

that would be a really good way to go about it imo

I quite like how the arena maps have are different this week. Anyway the trick to really getting up there in the rankings is minimizing how many characters die during your win chain.

After that gets perfected, it is about maximizing the stats of the units you send.

Unsure if this is related to what made me have to use Nox and download the apk and use it manually in the first place. I suppose not being able to throw away my money on a dumb gacha game isn't' the worst thing in the world, probably a blessing.

Part of the problem is why I had to install from the apk in the first place, for some reason, at one point the play store just started saying "your device is incompatible with this version" and so I've been stuck using the apk whenever the 803 error crops up. I mean, even if this means I can never buy orbs, I'm not going to complain too much since I can still play the game, I just find it weird and annoying.

Anyway, I have to sleep now, bye for now guys.

Yeah I know. God forbid the game puts the player at a disadvantage where you basically instantly lose and then the stamina costs are so high it'll be 3 trainings every 4h.

Don't worry, there's plenty of instant losses to be had, since the enemies love to RNG abilities to create things like 50+atk Hectors with 40+ def and 35+ spd/res, capable of one-shotting same level red units since he'll double most opponents.

Rascyc posted:

Have you actually tried half these in practice?

I can't help but wonder what kind of person thinks Nino's good. Unless she gets some crazy stat growths as a 5* unit she's mediocre at best, even when not considering how common red units are right now. I'd sooner work on an archer (Jeorg) than invest feathers in to Nino.

sassassin posted:

The Japanese version of Dokkan Battle is absurdly generous with its currencies during special events that seem to run pretty much back to back.

The global version... less so.

Japan is hands down the most lucrative and competitive mobile market on the planet when it comes to revenue per user on average. Sometimes a game will stay similarly generous to their global market (FFRK does a decent job at this) but there's no good reason to look at Japan as a metric for what non-Japanese markets should get for free. Dokkan Battle being much more generous to its Japanese players is in no way at odds with the fact that they want said players' money and will be as generous as they feel they can to make it happen.

Nino has an incredibly powerful weapon and useful active and passive abilities. She adds a lot of damage to your team and Draw Back plus a Dancer is a very strong hit and run combo. She also has Lucina-tier speed with Takumi-tier attack so she can chew through most any low res units even without WTA, and she'll be a good unit to have available whenever we slip into a blue meta.

For a 4* she seems to be easily one of the best green glass cannons. Plus with a couple of characters that boost stats (doesn't matter which), damage basically one-shots anyone.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Nino's ability is really useful because she's iirc the only 2 range unit with Draw Back.

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
I'll wait to see what we get in the new banners, but I'm leaning towards promoting either my +Atk/-Def Camilla or my -HP/+Res Kagero. I really wish I hadn't gotten four 5* reds, but at least they were all good units. I'm still desperately seeking a blue or gray for the 4th slot, because Est is basically just a Shove bot that every now and then murders a hurt Armored unit. Kagero could take her place, but I'm not sure she shines without an Olivia or Azura.

Kagero is a fine gray ranged attacker without any support. Certainly miles above Est in every category.

Kind of depends on what the rest of your team is. Shes kind of a gatekeeper in arena right now (the do you have Hector? check) because of how the meta is, but it's really hard to say in the long run. Corrin may be more viable over time. Nowi will probably be decent for a while, but it really depends on if youre starved for blue magic or how much arena you do.

http://feheroes.wiki/Nowi

her weapon does not gain any new abilities it did not already have, and the only new level of a skill she gets is a piddly +1 Defense. Only reason to promote Nowi to 5* is base stats and a small damage increase.

I have Robin so I'm not really sweating Big Boy Blues but some of the nerdy tier lists online rate her as really exceptional, so I wanted to see whether she might supplant him or what. Seems like she gets her useful powers at 4 and you're really upgrading for extra damage
