False enemy or true friend?

Andrast posted:

The daily arena quests have an orb reward

Well that's not bad then

I just finished reading up on reddit and they're saying to wait on pulls because inheritance is also dropping this week? If it is, as much as I'd like to blow some orbs trying for Jaffar, it might be smarter to hold out

Effie is real good and her high statline will be really useful for high arena scores. But Sharena is a strong contender for best hero in the game right now.

I think it probably comes down to how frustrated you get dealing with units with 1 move.

Sharena is great and versatile but contender for best unit in the game is pushing it. She's not even the best spear in a world where Azura exists.

she's definitely a great support character though.

Sharena's main thing is being good with every team comp and everybody has access to her. Having a high stat total helps too.

I used to get 5* pulls often. Now I'm lucky for 3*. Really killing my hype for this game.

5* Effie gets access to a damage upgrade from her new weapon and Death Blow 3
5* Sharena gets a damage boost from her new weapon, a attack debuff AOE from her new weapon, and Fortify Def 3

Sharena improves her offence and support abilities when hits 5*. She slots well into any team since she can buff defense, rally attack, debuff enemy attack, proc Blade tomes, and has well-rounded stats.

Effie is most useful when she's holding down the line and letting her teammates do the attacking. She doesn't gain as much from being promoted to a 5* unit.

It's probably best to wait a couple of days to see how skill inheritance pans out.

What do y'all think of Desperation on Lucina? Mine is -Spd which is tragic but she still doubles anyone slower than a neutral Lucina/Nino with Defiant Spd active. I dunno how Karel is but I figure if he can do Lyn's gimmick with Desperation, so can Lucina, right?

Skill inheritance will have nothing to do with orbs. If you want him go for it.

Did someone actually post about mulching Minerva because I will fight them

She's one of the fastest green units and Hauteclere is a Killer Axe++++

E: She's THE fastest green if you get her as +spd because Anna can only be neutral

Basically Minerva :swoon:

I use both Sharena and Effie on my A-Team and I love them both. No way I could pick one over the other. Effie is a literal wall of murder all reds (and wary fighter makes her quite good at dealing with most ranged units!), while Sharena is far far more mobile (really important on maps like the two bridge one where Effie can get stuck somewhere) and gives all kinds of buffs/debuffs.

Take me to your Shida

I need to figure out who to use my first 5* upgrade on (and I suppose second since I'm already halfway to that as well) and would like some opinions on it.

My current 5* are Roy, Sanaki, Karel, Ephraim, Catria, Merric, and Raven(+)

The best candidates I have, at 4*, as far as I can tell, are Marth, Tharja, Olivia, Sharena, Abel, Robin, Nowi, Nino, Anna, and Jorge

Any advice would be appreciated. Assuming it's between Sharena, Nowi, and Nino. (e: and maybe Robin)

Dude I JUST got my second 5* (Corrin, another loving sword guy) and I have received every orb in the game and mulched it into summon, so, at least you've gotten something in the past.

My team was Lyn, Takumi x2, and a 5 Star Robin and then there was a period of pulling nothing but crap. Managed to luck out with two 5 stars (Ninian, Elise), is it worth it to get rid of one takumi for either of these heroes?

At this point it's all personal preference. You've already got enough 5* units of different colours to fight anything currently in the game.

Do you use 20 orbs at a time or what? That's spectacularly bad luck.

My backup account has 6 with 152 orbs still in the bank. 4 blues, because that's what I usually roll on, on banners where there are focus blues available.

You are correct! It is loving terrible bad luck!

At one point I get three 3*s, all of the same character and it nearly made me quit the game entirely.

Anyway I have enough feathers and poo poo to upgrade someone to 5*, given this lineup, who should I do that with? (note how many loving swordsmen I have)





Currently that 4* Nino, Shanna, and Setsuna are my 'dream team' at the moment that I use for any high-level content and while I'd rather not reset them down to level 1, if they're the best option then c'est la vie.

Threw like 70, ended up with two Jeorges, a Sakura and a 5* Jacob :downs:. I think I'm gonna just save up and maybe I'll stumble into Jaffar or someone else. I know for sure I've been whiny as hell with these pulls but I've been paying for Hector in spades when my only other 5*s are Peri and now this weird butler dork

Unrelated, but I do have two Abels and I know he's probably decent, but which is better? +SPD/-DEF or +DEF/-SPD?

Probably +SPD to keep him from being doubled as often. 34 is a pretty full speed tier, and it'll mean he won't get doubled by Takumi if he has to tank a hit.
