acumen posted:Hm, I'm not sure if I have anyone that's like that who doesn't already need QR/desperation. Black Knight is solid. After the first charge, he can bait an enemy, take a hit and then hit back with a Black Luna every EP combat. Equipping a Slaying Edge makes this work on both phases and bypasses Guard if you can stomach losing Alondite's Distant Counter. Celica is good with the Special Spiral AOE build, but she will have issues against enemies she can't oneshot if she doesn't have Desperation. It works, but you have to pick your targets carefully. Fliers can't get Special Spiral. Unless you meant the Adult Summer Tiki, which... works, I suppose??? Not sure how to build her at all, so I have no advice here. Same with Brave Lucina.

I gave it to Lilina because I already had an infantry pulse dancer available for her. So with QP seal she is ready to glimmer right away and can just shotgun out double glimmer forblaze blasts every turn. Very handy especially this season with all the Surtrs around.

Paired Ishtar up with Marisa, Dorcas and PA Olivia. Now she's nuking the entire battlefield. ...This might be fun to play around with. Not entirely sold on Marisa, but I guess with Grails she can be more viable. Either that or buy one and fodder off her Pulse skill to a more fitting unit.

Here are the new skill tags that appeared in the latest datamine:New unused skill tags posted:SAID_戦闘強化_追撃不可 (lit. "combat boosts - no follow-up")Grants stats+??? during combat, and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. This one is strictly better than Lyfjaberg's tag given the same stats, because it also works when the foe initiates combat, and does not deal out-of-combat damage to the user. Save your orbs. Null dazzling/firesweep/flash/candlelight is real, and will probably appear in the next month.

Going after adaptive damage seems kind of weird since I don't think it's that strong of a feature. It's mostly just a nice bonus on dragons.

Fae brutalizes BLyn just fine already. It’s just DC sword/axe/spear units she stops. Which is still helpful in AA even if she’s not nearly the meta-breaker she used to be. And as much as I hate razzle-dazzle shenanigans, making the counter for that super common returns healers to the poo poo bin. Colorless Hell is still a thing, I’m not sure if we want to make it even worse.

True enough, but then firesweep units are kinda useless, giving up EP entirely for a mediocre PP. I hate facing them myself, but I think totally neutering old content (I think the firesweep lance was from the first year, for instance) to recover from Aether Raids being medium awful is a poor solution. I think even the reason Ronnie is so awful in AR is because everybody got one free. I think long-term health of gameplay would be to ban healers in AR. Or kill lift loss on defeat. Neutering anti-counter effects turns a huge number of units into junk for benefit in one game mode only. And you know every faceless mook in Abyssal difficulty modes will have that skill if it gets put out there, making beating those harder for dolphins and F2P types, further hurting a player base that seems to be shrinking if November’s income data is dispositive. Now, you might be tempted to say that IS doesn’t care about F2P types, and IS is probably tempted to agree. However, losing the F2P player base would be bad for the game at large, not only making GC and VG modes worse but likely making arena and AA worse too, with even more rapid regression to the same high-cost team/skill compositions. Plus, fewer players in general means there’s less twitter mentions, death of forum/Reddit threads, less YouTube exposure, all of which puts further downward pressure on the player base and suggesting to whales that they could drop their coin more entertainingly on other gacha games. Also nukes their ability to advertise new titles via cross promotion. For full disclosure, I’m a F2P guy who got in for love of the console games. I’m already frosty about Surtr being stupid powercreep, and I find AR dull with all the stupid ranged horse teams I face. So interpret my biases accordingly.

It's a single skill with an opportunity cost to use that counters skills that were probably a mistake in the first place. It's not going to ruin the game

Newbie Question: When's a good time to merge units? i.e. do I need to merge units at a certain level for maximum effects, or can I feed my LV 1 Helbindi to my stronger Helbindi and be done with it? What about feeding my LV 40 +ATK/-DEF FGrima to my LV 1 +ATK/-HP FGrima? Will SP/HM/Supports carry over to the LV 1 FGrima?

The only reason to care about leveling the unit you're sacrificing is that any skills they have learned will be carried over. So it can be more efficient SP wise to level them up, learn skills with the level SP, then merge.

FEH isn't like a lot of other Fire Emblem games, in that every unit will have an exact statset at max level, taking into account its nature. A level 40 +ATK Hector with 2 merges and his base weapon will always have an attack of 58, etc (I made that specific number up off the top of my head but you get the idea). If you merge two level-1 Helbindis and then level the result to 40, or if you level them both to 40 and then merge them, the result will be the same. If you feed a max-level FGrima to a level-1 FGrima, the result will be level 1, but if you then level her to 40 the result will be the same as if you leveled and then merged. SP won't carry over, but HM and supports will.

It's a gacha game with all the usual nonsense they tend to have, although it's still probably one of the better ones. Just treat it as a time killer as cheetah said and don't concern yourself too much with needing to be top tier in everything. Whales run all the higher ranks and you probably don't want to spend thousands on the game so just have fun collecting what anime sword girls you can.

Unlucky7 posted:I never actually started this game despite downloading it way back when. Is this game worth playing? It's a simplified Fire Emblem experience. So if you like Advanced Wars or Fire Emblem, you'll be able to get some enjoyment out of it. Though this game brings forth an often unconsidered part of FE. Fire Emblem enemy AIs are mostly deterministic in the main games, and it is fully deterministic in FEHeroes. AI manipulation/prediction has always been a part of FE at the very, very highest levels of play (Low Turn Count playthroughs), but most players never had to consider it. But average players expect to challenge the hardest content in a gatcha. So FEHeroes brings AI manipulation into the view of common players. FEHeroes has nearly no story compared to a typical gatcha game. The new characters have cool art and designs, but the dialogue and main plot is skeletal. Rather appropriately, the latest batch of new characters are literally skeletons. I'm still having fun, though, and I really appreciate that this gatcha has nearly zero grinding.      EDIT: Damnit. There's a serious chance the left shadow is a Christmas Fae.

I think you're right that the one on the left is Fae. At the very least, it appears to be someone short wearing a dress. The one of the right seems to be a profile-ish shot of a woman--I think the narrow part isn't a narrow waist, but rather the narrow part between her breasts and a flaring skirt
