Previous Nintendo-branded mobile titles have been pretty responsible about the risk of creating whales, haven't they? I guess we'll see.

those weren't gacha games

like, i have trust that heroes won't be super stingy but there will absolutely be people who spend crazy money on this game whether or not it's needed

Imagine spending $100 worth of orbs to whale your way into bride Lyn, carefully and methodically grinding her up to 5-stars, then have her get nothing but empty levelups

there's gotta be some kind of system like level-ups being seemingly random from level to level but ending up the same by the time you hit the level cap or some way to reset a unit back to level 1 to try to get better level-ups

i refuse to believe dena or IS would be dumb enough to let this scenario be even remotely possible

I want everyone, so I've just been alternating rerolls between banners and will stop whenever I hit a 5* to carry me while I stockpile orbs and figure out how the game actually works.

i think the 'higher percentage of 5* the longer you go without one' only applies per banner so you're probably better off sticking with one banner until you get a 5* and then switching

Too stupid to figure out how to reroll quickly on Nox, went until I got 5* Sorcerous Prince Leo, and some other 4*, good enough.

Don't know poo poo about Fire Emblem characters, but this guy rides a horse and looks like an rear end in a top hat, so probably good.

leo is a good boy and probably the least rear end in a top hat-ish important character in fates

I have a lot of axe users and most of them are still not as good as your starter Anna, because she is absurdly fast and has good attack skills.The default units are good.

my anna has 7 defense at level 11(two more than my level 1 shanna!) so she's rapidly become unusable, it sucks

thank god i got 4* gunther in my last pull

gunther's got a skill called hone cavalry that passively gives +6 atk/spd to adjacent cavalry units at the start of your turn and i can't wait to get some other cavs to have fun with that

Well yeah, she's a speedster. You don't use her to tank, that's what you have other units for.

yeah i guess, tankiness just seems like it's gonna be really valuable in a game where everything hits and hp recovery is at a premium

I got 5* Lyn, 4* Tharja, and 4* Hinoka with my free rolls. I was hoping for Tharja so I'm happy; Lyn is a nice bonus though.

4* tharja might be my mvp so far, she's got great attack and her defenses have turned up pretty decent for what you'd expect from a flimsy mage

Also, I don't know how to FE. Why is it sometimes my guys will attack 2 times and othertimes they don't?

if a unit has 5 more speed than the opponent they get to attack twice; there's also brave weapons that get to attack twice always(and can get 4 attacks if they also have 5 more speed)

Ahhh, I see. Thanks. Did they go over that in the tutorial? I don't remember it. I though most stats were self-explanatory but I was confused about speed; like I didn't see any kind of evasion rates or anything.

i don't think it came up, i actually had to double check that it was 5 since it used to be 4 before fire emblem: fates

Do we suspect that in traditional Fire Emblem fashion, promoting a unit a star higher will be much better if you max their level instead of doing it straight at level 20?

iirc ranking a unit up resets it back to its base level 1 stats for the new rank so it probably doesn't matter when you do it

Just started, should I wait and gather orbs until I can do a 5-roll or do a 3roll immediately to see if I get a 5*?

5-roll is more cost efficient, you should always save up for one except maybe in the rare scenario where a banner you really want a character from is about to disappear and you can't get enough orbs to do a 5-pull in time

So how do we farm feathers? I get like 5 per day from people visiting and I see you can dismiss people to get some but you can't get people without premium currency which means that will dry up sooner rather then later.

you get feathers from arena fights, the higher your rank at the end of a season the more feathers you'll get

Sincere question: If I mostly care about playing through the main game with characters from 8, 9, and 10, none of whom are in the game right now, is there much reason for me to play it until they add them? I feel like it would be wasting the orbs I get from the early game to use them when there's not even any chance of getting those characters. Not that I don't want -any- of the characters that are in right now, but idk, I'd rather start with Ike or something and be able to build him all the way up through the main quests. Am I misunderstanding how the game works? I guess what I'm trying to ask is what's the point in trying to get the new characters they add later if you've already beaten the bulk of the missions and built up a team of strong characters already?

if it's like alot of gachas there will be more story added as time goes on and rotating events that will be where a lot of the main challenge lies

Has anyone done the math on how strong the weapon triangle is in this game? It seems to be much more important than it usually is in the main series.

it's +20% and -20% damage, tap the weapon triangle at the bottom right during a level

Alright, I'm officially terrified of Takumi in Arena now. Ran into one getting DEF buffs from a support unit behind her, and every unit I moused over would be one-shot (in her defense, my team has two air cavalry). Eventually had to use Stahl to whittle her HP down a tiny bit (while he ate a 25 damage counter from her), before Camilla could kill her without dying to a counter attack.

Without Camilla's double-swing, don't think I could have ever killed the Takumi, let alone the other three members of her team.

there's something i need to tell you about takumi

So what's the opinion on rerolling if no 5-stars? I got a couple of 4 stars after 3 penta-rolls in (Tharja, Hana, Beruka, Olivia, Barte, and a Lissa). It seems ok but I was thinking of rerolling if nothing in this group is considered good.

tharja is solid + gets darting blow, lissa is a healer which means she's good, idk about the others
