You won't really know until 40 cause the order of stat gains seems to be very randomized.

Blargh... yeah looks like even with the lucky Takumi drop I didn't do well  Edit: ^^ Oh so well all is not lost then :v Is Lyn actually a good roll other than being a 5*? If so I'm thinking maybe Takumi/Lyn/Effie (tank)/Maria(healer) or Sophia. Edit: VVV You weren't kidding, I really had bad luck with my rolls.

 6 or maybe 7? I didn't reroll when I started, either, I've had really good luck Catria at level 30  Armored blow puts her at 25 armor when initiating attacks, 27 if I had rank 3. Mirthless fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Feb 8, 2017 |

I decided to setup one of those reroll macros to see if I can get some better/cooler units. I did get a summon of Hector and 4* Roy, which is great but I'm going to save it and see what else pops up since there isn't really a rush.

If you got 5* Hector, go with that imo, he's not on the banner so that's an incredibly good pull and he's a very good character Roy is good at crushing green enemies thanks to triangle adept and he can max it out at 4*. He's kind of a niche character but he's not bad to have as a 4* pull and he'll probably be in your team until you replace him with a gold sword user

For green crushing if possible I would go with Selena as having both triangle boost and an armor slayer allows her to chew through most lines ups. Anyway my team I am using is five star Camilla, Lucina and Robin with four star Shanna. Camilla is still proving useful due to having max darting and savage blow and Shanna does help with clean up and red units, but the stars of the show are Lucina and her 52 attack and Robin for his ability to tank almost anything ranged. Edit: If your speed is 4 or 5 higher then the enemy you can double attack them. Hunt11 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Okay, I have 20 orbs accumulated and I guess I'm ready to summon some people. What's the best, most efficient way of increasing my chances of getting the best characters and what crystals should I look for? I read somewhere that if you don't get red, blue or whatever then you can bail and try again. Mostly want to avoid getting turds.

I saw people talking about "faking out" pvp players by putting a bad unit in their first spot. Is there some way to preview that unit? I can only see the icon of the characters, not their level/stats/stars. Rascyc posted:You won't really know until 40 cause the order of stat gains seems to be very randomized. Wait, what? Your final stats are predetermined and the level up process is just distributing those set stats in a random order?

Mirthless posted:5* Hector? The game is dominated by characters that have weapon advantage over him, and he'll definitely be a focus character in the future. Rare pull yes, great pull no. You can do much better if you're mass rerolling than a single 5* Hector.

I saw some PAD people talking about this game, so I thought I'd check it out. Seems pretty fun so far. Pulled a Nowi on my first pentaroll, and a Roy on my second, so it's pretty much been all facestomping so far. The OP doesn't have any info, and the first couple pages are all people talking about voting for something. Is there some good high-level info on what's going on and how not to do something I'll regret? I glanced at reddit, but it looked to be all terrible whales.

And matchmaking is based on an average power of your 4 guys (as is points gain) so having one scrub gets easier matches (and less points). Yes.

sassassin posted:The game is dominated by characters that have weapon advantage over him, and he'll definitely be a focus character in the future. Yeah, he's certain to be bannerbros with Ike. I think he's easily the best tank in a game where tanks are great, though. Back him up with a couple of ranged guys that can deal with red swordlords and you're pretty much set for most of the stuff you have to deal with. It's different when you're fighting him, too. I think people are conflating characters' power as active units and as defending AIs. AI Hector is easy to deal with, yes. Player Hector is a monster.

Cool, pulled 5* Takumi and 5* Camilla from a 5-pull. Guess I'm pretty well set for a while. I've been tinkering with a Armor team and it's been pretty interesting. Been running Hector, Sheena, and a 3* Gwendolyn with a support (mostly Olivia) and they just kind of march across the map murdering poo poo. Don't have either Gwen or Sheena's really good C skills yet, but I can see that making things pretty silly. Between the two of them Hector could get +6 to all stats.

I'm bullish on Camilla again, she is def a meta piece that exists. She vaporizes Robin and even beats Takumi if she gets the charge off. Just don't let her get shot. 4x Takumi is so dumb.

Hah, so finally have a full 4 man team of 5* units. Only one of them is not a natural 5*. Guess which unit is falling behind in mid-lunatic, level 35~ chapters and had their team role reduced to "eat chump hits and die for the team while contributing no damage?"

Louisgod posted:Okay, I have 20 orbs accumulated and I guess I'm ready to summon some people. The problem with that is you don't get the discount and overpay in the long run, so that method is for people pumping tons of cash into the game already and could care less about efficiency. I think that pulling method is best for people doing mass rerolls if they are looking for a specific character, they dont bother looking through all the orbs since the animation can add up to quite a bit of time to their seconds per roll average.

I have like 75 orbs, waiting for a new banner before I pull again. Lyn, Tharja, Corrin and Felicia have been doing fine so far. But then I haven't been rushing to the harder levels so maybe that'll change.

Speaking of Tiki, I have a 5* one which I think is young Tiki and a 4* being the other. Is it just me or is the older tiki crazy better than the young one? So far I've found no use for young tiki at all, am I missing something?

At this point anyone who isn't in dire need of units should strongly consider stockpiling for the next banner(s) unless you really want to chase current banner units.a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:The rate starts at 3% and goes up something like .25% every time you do a 5-pull and don't get a 5* unit. Doing a single pull for 5 orbs, and claiming all 5 pulls for 20 orbs will still only give a 0.25% increase if you didn't pull a 5 star unit. You don't have to do all 5 pulls for the rate up. AlphaKretin posted:Or make like Square Enix and use mobile revenue to fund vanity projects they can afford to stop caring about the profitability of. There's a bunch of series I wouldn't mind seeing revived but aren't popular enough to currently deserve it. Still hoping that Octopath Traveller is SE deciding to just make a new SaGa game (and that we'll actually get it). Bonus points if it's setup like SaGa Frontier and they actually finish the game. EPIC fat guy vids posted:I'm up to 7 penta pulls and not a second 5* yet - seriously this is one of the worst gacha rates I've ever seen alongside Fate Grand Order. FFBE is a 10% chance to get a 4* crystal and a 1% chance to get a 5* crystal. Currently in the global version, a 4 or 5 star crystal can still give 3 star units (and 5 star crystals can give 4 star base units). So in reality you have maybe a 5% chance at a 4* unit and maybe 0.5% of a chance to get a 5* unit. FFRK guarantees a 5* relic when you do an 11 pull but older 5* relics are basically stat sticks at this point and you can still effectively pull nothing (like I did, going 1/11 twice in a row with the same 5* both times, and said relic being 100% useless). FE Heroes is downright generous compared to some other games out there. Tender Bender posted:Wait, what? Your final stats are predetermined and the level up process is just distributing those set stats in a random order? Truly randomized stats in an online mobile game like this would be a horrific design decision. People could and would figure out ways to game the system and end up with godly stats.

a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:So somebody upthread mentioned getting a daily download every night for 400mb, and I want to chime in that the same thing has been happening to me for the last three nights. Anyone know what causes this? If you are using an iPhone, there is a specific cause not related to corrupt data (which would just not let the app run). When your iOS is not at the most recent version, Apple automatically attempts to download the update. If there is not enough storage on the phone to do so, it deletes all cache and non-permanent app data. That includes photos and movies from facebook, Safari webpages, and any data downloaded by an app such as extra game files. This started happening to me first with FFBE, but can happen with FEH as well. There are some solutions to this problem. 1. Update iOS. But really, gently caress Apple. 2. Clear enough storage space on the phone so that the update can download. However then you get constant 'Update this device' reminders. Seriously, gently caress Apple with a splintery stick. 3. Disable cellular data use for the App Store app, and whenever you plug in your phone to charge, turn off WiFi. It's a goddamn pain in the rear end, but it works. Or continue to re-download the app files after every charging session.

Senerio posted:Sharena and Anna are good at higher tiers. Alphonse not so much. Well, I feel like Alphonse's problem is that there's a massive glut of red characters. Also that you have to spend a million feathers on him. He's got a lot of tools for blowing stuff up. I'm wondering about Draug over Gwendolyn. I can just imagine the hilarity of using Lunge to pull some hard target into the middle of the formation, then bringing Sheena and Hector up to butcher them. Though, he's got Brave Sword and a decent attack, so he'll probably just kill them. On the other hand, Gwendolyn can deal with reds that would be issues for Hector and Sheena.
