I will probably play this, but try to avoid paying money. If it seems like I'll need to pay money to be able to actually make progress, I'm out.

If you could pair characters across games, since undoubtedly this game is going to put that thought in people's heads, what would you do?

Personally, I would go Hector/Tiki, because I find the idea of manakete Lilina incredibly awesome for some reason.

So, I've installed this on my Iphone 4(G?) (it's old, sue me) and it just randomly crashes and goes back to the Iphone home menu a lot. I've managed to actually get through a couple of missions using the power of auto-bookmarks, but does anyone have any idea if there's anyway to fix this? Deleting and redownloading didn't work.

I rolled a Lyn, turns out she was +DEF. This has turned out to actually be pretty awesome, as at level 40 she has 30 def, which is enough to do a basic level of tanking, and since her malus is res, it does indeed only make her more awesome in sword duels.

Replace your healer with Frederick imo. Healers are way situational, most maps you will have at least one or two blue opponents and Frederick is also good against armor since he gets a hammer.

Cherche also gets a hammer and a whole lot of attack, but has poor defences, so I suppose it depends on how you want to deal with enemy blues exactly.

So, I was playing heroes using BlueStacks (an android emulator), started getting the 803 error (this had happened once before, because I had linked it to a nintendo account I could uninstall and reinstall without losing my progress) tried uninstalling, and the store says Fire Emblem Heroes isn't compatible with my device, or rather, on the store page it says "your device isn't compatible with this version". Not even uninstalling and reinstalling BlueStacks helped.

Anyone got any idea what's going on here and if there's anything I can do about it?

Try unrooting your emulator. Alternatively, just download the apk and play anyways. I think people are reporting that having a rooted device can cause the app to conclude the data is corrupted and reinstall each play session, but it won't get worse than that and actually lock you out of playing. I don't have personal experience with that though.

Since you've linked to a Nintendo account, you should be able to just unroot your emulator (possibly you'll have to do some wizardy to make the app store forget you were ever rooted; I'm not sure) and then reinstall and keep playing without problems.

What exactly is "the apk"? I'm sadly not that familiar with tech wizardry.

It's the installation file for the game.

Realistically, if I've diagnosed your problem correctly (which isn't guaranteed), unrooting your emulator and then somehow convincing google play you're a new device (possibly by switching emulators to Nox? I don't really know) will solve your problem quickly and easily.

e: Nox is even unrooted by default so there shouldn't be an issue with messing that part up.

No, unrooting and using Nox instead hasn't worked... one thing I noticed though, was that when I looked in the review sections all of them said "for an older version" even for reviews made today. Makes me wonder if it's received some sort of stealth update that screws with emulators. I'll see if there's anything else I can do...

I've downloaded the APK, but I have no idea what to do with it...

EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to run the APK with Nox, it's working now. Thanks Cheetah! I can buy you a new avatar as thanks if you want.

If you wanna waste $10 getting rid of this piece of poo poo I won't complain but I don't really think I provided you with $10 of value

I'm just feeling grateful, and I can sometimes have something of a generous streak (I feel guilty whenever I walk past a homeless person without giving them something) so give me an image you'd like to be your new avatar, and I'll see to it making it replace that "piece of poo poo".

On a different topic, I have a +DEF Lyn, who gets 30 Def at level 40 (there seem to be a few cases where the + value ends up being +4 rather than +3, this is one such case) which has proven to be rather excellent, since her bane is RES (though this makes her less capable of just taking a hit from a mage or dragon) it just makes her that much better at killing enemy dudes with swords without getting killed herself. She also works really well with my +SPD Able (30 speed at 40, with a brave lance), since with the aid of spur speed Able can get X4 attacks on, and thus murder the crap out of, quite a significant amount of blue dudes and red mages.

You really have to expect to see him on any decent strength team because not having an answer to him sucks (not "you lose" suck but definitely forces unfavorable trades). That predictability is actually really helpful, or it would be if you had any control over what units you have. I got a 5* Robin and an Abel so I basically see most of the top tiers as free arena wins, but if the new spear lords are top tier I won't really know what to do since my only decent green is a 4* Fae (and 3* Narcian I guess???).

I suggest you level up and upgrade Anna. She actually becomes pretty drat solid with a few upgrades. She's kinda like a green Lyn, (in terms of stats) high attack and speed, low def, decent res.

As much as I'd love to drop $2k chasing Ishtar, there's no way that non-playable villains will be in the first round of characters.

Sadly, this seems likely. Personally I'm just wondering why Xander isn't in the drop pool yet, I know from the lunatic version of the last story mission that he has Siegfried, which enables him to counter from any distance (like Ryoma's Rajinto) but he also has a horse, so he seems like he could be a cool sword horse dude.

Also, enjoying the new avatar? Or simply relived the old one is gone?

EDIT: Hmm... just tried to buy a small amount of orbs, says I need to log into my google play account, and no matter how many time I press okay that message just come back up. Unsure if this is related to what made me have to use Nox and download the apk and use it manually in the first place.

You have an Nintendo account right? You could just unload the game, reinstall it from the Play Store and then try again.

Part of the problem is why I had to install from the apk in the first place, for some reason, at one point the play store just started saying "your device is incompatible with this version" and so I've been stuck using the apk whenever the 803 error crops up. I mean, even if this means I can never buy orbs, I'm not going to complain too much since I can still play the game, I just find it weird and annoying.

arent most armored units Green though? seems like a bad idea to fight hector with a triangle disadvantage

anyone know why Tiki (young) is ranked higher thank Tiki (Old)? Old seems like the ultimate green armor murderball

The young version can be pulled at 5 stars, the older version can't, and also has significantly less speed. Though, yes, she does have a higher natural attack stat, such that if you rank her up she will have more attack than the young version, and of course, being able to always counter is nice to have. Also a bit more defence I believe.

If you pull one 5* first, does the pity counter reset right away or after the summoning is done? I was up to 5% for both focus and non focus and managed to pull two with one set of 20 orbs.

After the summoning is done, since the contents of the orbs is already decided when you first press summon. The counter won't reset if one of the orbs was a 5* but you didn't open it or anything like that though.

Either way, I think we're really lacking in good Red mages. Tharja is considered a second-rate Nino for reasons that honestly aren't very clear to me, Lilina seems generally underwhelming, and the rest of them aren't even worth talking about. Blue obviously has Linde and the other Robin.

Eh, I've got Leo and he has his uses. Quick riposte for example makes it hilarious to bait archers or green mages, so long as you have a good healer. Anyway, I'm looking forward to FRobin because it means I can get someone who's probably a decent green mage without having to rely on pulls.

So, I had saved up a whole bunch of orbs (over 100), used them on the princess banner in hope for lucina, and after pretty much running dry, I finally got a 5*... Ogma. I mean, at least I got Gwendolen so I can do the armour quest now, thats something, but you would not believe how mad Ogma's face made me. I don't suppose anyone here can say if a 5* Ogma is any good or not? I already have a +Def Lyn who fulfills most of my sword needs, but I guess a guy with a Brave sword+ could have their use?

Man, I'm still just really pissed off I used all those orbs only to end up with loving Ogma rather than Lucina or even Eirika. I am officially only going to spend my orbs when there's a green focus now, since I already have decent 5* for red and blue, and not even Lucina is worth the frustration at instead getting a boring sword man, when I already have a decent sword user. So mad at how dumb of an idea fishing for an "upgrade" to my sword girl turned out to be.

Effie or Robin, probably neither unless you want to chase arena scores. If you do then Effie. Robin is only if you are impatient and are having traffic jam problems and need range damage to Idk why anyone would ever promote Abel outside of fandom. Sharena is a better overall blue upgrade.
Able has a brave lance+sword breaker. This means that if he initiates on a sword dude (which is much easier thanks to having a horse) he will hit them 4 times. No sword person can survive this. In my experience (with a 5* mind you) most seem to have trouble with withstanding 2 hits.

Shareena may have overall more utility, but for the express purpose of killing sword people Able is better.
