Brave weapons are loving brutal with a Dancer.

And what's even better with a Dancer? Lissa's weapon that lowers move speed. Kite melee with no fear of reprisal, ever.

You know what's even better? Brave Weapon + Dancer + GALEFORCE + Pass. Everything dies, and the healers can not be protected by your meatshields.

I dunno if anyone else in this thread has noticed yet, but apparently surrendering a map will reseed a character's level ups.

To elaborate, Barst got an empty level but died on the same map. Normally, this means he rolls back to his level before the map, but the next time he levels up, he'll get an empty one again. But! I tried another map, hosed it up, and surrendered. Then, the map after that, Barst leveled up and gained a point in speed.

It seems like if you get a lovely or empty level, you can surrender (maybe getting the character killed and succeeding on the current map is a prerequisite?) and then reroll that level.

So i started out yesterday and got a 4* Robin and 4* Cain. Got up to 20 orbs and got a 5* Robin now. What do i do with my 4*, can i feed him to my 5* with no repercussions, or will that do nothing? Or should i just hold onto him?

Almost up to enough orbs for my third 5-pull. They seem pretty hard to come by though (or I've been spoiled rotten by Record Keeper), so should I drop them now or hoard them for a future banner?

I'm saving mine now that I have a functional team, though I don't have much gacha experience.

One thing that bothers me about pulling is the lack of control over colours. The game really wants to shovel Green units on me, and I have more enough of them now. In contrast, I have exactly two Blue units in my entire roster, one of which is the freebie, but I don't want to spend orbs to try to remedy that because I have to spend 5 just to see which 5 colours I can pick from, and it's far from impossible that I'm offered no Blues yet again.

Yeah. You kind of have to forfeit your bonus unit if you want to try for a better color grid. It's definitely an interesting system, to say the least.

I'm pretty well versed in gacha games, but usually power creep kicks in after a few months and everything you pull down the line completely outclasses anything you'd pull now. On the other hand, I only have one 5* and could really use any sort of healer, so I'm torn.

I love that so far, Veronica has been going around kicking everyones rear end, and forcing them to fight for her, except for Chrom and his Shepards. She just kind of told them "Hey, some rude people are coming your way, you should fight them." and they apparently just went "OKAY! :)"

Heroes and Clash Royale had the same amount of day 1 downloads too, at 2m

There aren't nearly as many hooks in FE Heroes as games like Clash Royale, so that daily number's going to drop off, then probably spike when the next banners come around.

Eopia posted:

Since I didn't see anyone respond to this... After 5 whiffs on the Legendary Heroes banner the odds are currently: 5* Focus 3.25% 5* 3.25% 4* 35.81% 3* 57.69%. On Deep Devotion with 20 whiffs (yes, I have exhausted my sources of free orbs why do you ask) the odds are current 5* Focus 4.00% 5* 4.00% 4* 35.23% 3* 56.77%

Only the first pull from the batch boosts the rates for 5* units. The 4-4-4-3 cost pulls don't affect it. My guess is that all 5 characters are selected immediately, so it's probably possible to packet sniff or something to find out the 5 characters before opening them (and get banned if they detect it, I'd imagine).

Probably. Unless you reaaaaally give a poo poo about getting a specific character stopping when you get a 5* character is the way to keep your sanity.

I have a potentially dumb question - I'm using Maria as my healer and she has Physic equipped. In the skill description it says "Heals 8HP to target and all allies within two spaces of that target."

How do I get the splash heal to proc? Every time I heal with her she just heals the main target and no one else. Is there something specific you have to do to use that ability?
