Okay, maybe later then. :sigh:

Alright, now that my phone battery ain't dead, let's see how this goes...

4 star Azama and the rest are all 3 stars (Eliwood, Corrin (F), Barst and Beruka).

Eh, could be worse. At least I have a flier, a mounted unit and a healer.

Barst would be good if he maintained his strength from the games.

Yeah, though he could handle Abel in 1-4 thanks to WTA...but nope, forgot Gordin could snipe Barst and hosed that all up. :negative:

On the other hand, whoever said having a healer is a godsend was not kidding. Azama is amazingly useful, especially since the one I have has Reconcile out of the box, which is kind of a spin on the Live to Serve skill (heals Azama for the same amount of HP he's healing on a target unit). His other skill is Imbue...which just lets him heal 10 more of the target's HP than Reconcile does. Eh.

Still, I ain't going to knock his usefulness. My advice: if you roll a healer, keep him or her on the team. You'll be glad you did.

Is she on one of the banners?

I got Maria and aside from having no HP and getting nothing but bad levels, she's great. Just got her an offensive ability so turns she doesn't heal can be used getting exp.

Yeah, Azama needs a few more SP so I can burn it on his Assault skill. Keep on healing those nicks and cuts, ya sarcastic monk.

They're for promoting units. You need 20 of the smaller one to promote 3*>4*, 20 of the greater badge for 4*>5* - in addition to a shitton of feathers.

Oh, I thought it was just the feathers that promoted units. Now it makes more sense.

whos the best healer because I did a 3rd pull and got all healers + 5* Lucina

Azama has Reconcile, which is Live to Serve with a set amount of HP recovered (7 HP). He also gets Imbue, which allows him to heal 10 more HP to an ally unit, almost making it a full heal. He also gets a skill that grants a +4 defense buff to all allies when he heals someone. He also gets an attack debuff skill (-3 for the first tier, -4 for the second tier) that affects any enemies in a 2-tile radius, and Martyr, which heals bonus HP amounts based off of damage done to him.

Yes. You get them from the gray/colorless option in the summoning area, along with bow users and shuriken users.

Well, for that game, name any archers that stood out from Marth's two games outside of one or two quirky lines. Yeah, almost none.

As for the "Why not Noire?" argument, I guess with Tharja being in the game they didn't want to double-down by having Noire in as well.

Spoilers for when you get him: Henry's gets a "bonus damage against colorless enemies" tome option. If you get a 4 or 5 star version, he'll start with said tome unlocked and equipped.

You'll like using him and his puns.

How do you get more orbs from the story maps outside of buying them?

Beat the story maps on other difficulties (Hard and Lunatic). After that, you're left with bonus quests that offer a certain amount.

Alternately, Ike and Lyn topping the votes means that the next updates could be a Tellius pack and an Elibe expansion pack.

Combining the votes Mordecai only got 885 which basically ties him with Olwen at #256.

I will patiently await my favorite fluffy tiger dad to be added to the game. Someday.

If it makes you feel better, he is one of the first playable laguz units you get in Path of Radiance, so that does bolster his chances of appearing in the first Tellius pack.

I got a 3* Henry. Would he be better at 4* than a 4* Raigh?

Raigh unique tome grants him bonus damage against cavalry units, Seal Resistance and Rally Attack. Meanwhile, Henry's unique tome grants him a WTA over colorless enemies, two damage boosting special moves, and he also learns Green Tomebreaker.

Basically, invest in the guy voiced by Bryce Papenbrook.

Since everyone else is asking about team comp I might as well too!

I've got the following spear users: Sharena, Oboro, Sully, Peri, Catria, Jagen, Shanna and Florina. Out of this pile of Cute Girls with Spears (and Jagen) who should I put on my main team? I've been sort of leaning towards Catria because of Armored Blow, but any given archer just deletes her.

Like others said, go for Sharena. She has: Rally Attack, Hone Defense, a skill that buffs her speed, and at 5 stars her unique weapon allows her to inflict -5 Attack and -5 Speed on surrounding opponents. Even if you level her up to 4 stars, Sharena will be a valuable asset to your teams.

Sharena's only big issue is her low resistance, but if you have someone with either Spur Resistance (Anna, for instance), Rally Resistance or Hone Resistance, that can be patched up and fixed easily. Otherwise, keep her from magic users and you'll be golden.

Are healers worth the trouble of leveling? I just started trying to level my Azama I hadn't used in a while and his leveling speed is absolutely painful.

Depends on the healer and where you're starting from (i.e., 3-star, 4-star, etc). In your case, Azama skews towards the slow and tankier side of things, but until he can learn his two attacks, you're better off letting people get banged up so Azama can heal them and gain EXP. Azama is worth it not just for being able to tank a hit at times, but also because he learns Threaten Attack, allowing him to debuff anyone who dares come close to him, and he learns Solid Earth Balm (all team members get +4 Defense when Azama heals any ally). It'll be a slow process, but for Azama, he's worth it even if you only level him up to 4 stars.

There's a 1.1.0 update (iOS) for the game that's out now. :siren:

Only new things I've noticed are:

--SP costs are now included with the star rank for skills on an unit's skill list.
--When an attack will KO someone, they glow red to let you know.

There's probably some other stuff I haven't seen yet, but those two are very nice additions.

Something I just found out through one of these vote battles: the Sibling Bonds banner quests still apply. So, if you manage to get say, Sanaki or Olwen on your team, let them get some kills in as those will count towards getting those big crests for leveling people up to 5 stars.

Small note, the google playstore has Lucina on the Heroes app. Not saying that heavily contributes, but it is the first thing even super casual people will recognize in-game.

Next unit will probably be someone that Ursula counters - RobinF counters Ursula, and Narcian is a bit of a soft check to RobinF since he has decent RES and she's kinda bad against anything that's not a cavalry or blue tome.

So by that logic, next unit is Xander.

Another point in Xander's favor is that he's the only Fates character that is not available through any means yet, so that's some incentive to let the player have access to an entire game's present cast representatives.
