FE9 Ike is going to win males and Lyn or Lucina is going to vote females. There's no point in voting to win when the results were obvious before the poll even began.

I'm just voting my favourite characters for the sake of voting them. It's not like I expect Reyson to rank high.

I figured Chrom was going to win for males before the first thing came out, and I definitely didn't expect to see Hector at #3.

it's pretty cool that someone made a fangame based on Awakening and Fates, and that Nintendo would add those fanmade characters to Heroes!

I mean that's who that masked marth character on the polls was right? It feels pretty silly for nintendo to add what is clearly an fan's self-insert to their phonegame but hell, who am I to judge?

I don't buy that Awakening sold because of "waifus". It sold well because it had a very crisp, popping artstyle that shined in its CG cutscenes (and consequently its commercials) and because it was basically the first really big game for the 3DS and finally gave people something to talk about in regards to the system.

Probably, but I think the reason it captured so many people's imaginations and time was because of the dating sim. The game wouldn't have generated nearly as much fan art and content if you couldn't kiss Chrom and Lucina, not to mention eugenics being a min/maxers dream, which means fewer people would have been anticipating future titles as eagerly.

My only issue with Awakening's marriage stuff is the significant lack of meganekko. C'mon Nintendo, one is hardly enough.

i'd like to see their reasoning for Fae being SS. obviously she's the only green dragon so that's something, but mine is a level 33 4* and she just gets doubled all the time, does very little damage, and has no real favorable matchups - the things she walls also wall her (since casters generally have high resistance) and the 10 healing really falls off. the only times i ever really get any value from her is blue low Attack general-type.

the game just feels to rocket tag-ish for grindy units like her that slow the game down to work.

They're melee mages in this game.

Since all ranged attackers 2 range only here, having a RES targeting melee unit is a niche.

It's currently not a particularly useful niche though since they have low defense and the things they resist - mages - have high resistance. I'm putting my heart and soul into making this Fae I have work and it's a real journey

i wouldn't say "a lot" of people use cordelia, I played a lot of pvp (obvious because of my stupid nerd rating) and i saw literally none of them and i saw a lot of Takumi, sword-lords, and Tikis. i dont think Camilla is a good meta choice atm. on the other hand i think Abel and Robin are insanely good anti-meta units if you're grinding expert pvp.

I'm glad evasion (and their inverse, crits) aren't present since it costs either time or money to replay maps in this game. I'd rather not be out ~2 hours because I whiffed against the boss of a lunatic event when I had 97% accuracy, or lose my pvp streak when I ate a 6% crit or got hit three times in a row at 25%.

That said no dodge definitely makes agile units less appealing. Ninjas in general feel bleh even with their various debuffs.

I feel like this game is going to get very easy very quickly once I hit max level, not because of numbers, but because sacrificing units for trades no longer matters since the only thing stopping me from doing it now is the lost EXP. I'll also be leveling alternate teams but you can bet your sweet bippy I'll only be using level 40s for events/PvP once I get there.

Are there any real heavy hitters that get Vantage? I drew a 4* Lon'qu who has it but I'd put his damage output somewhere around Abel - decidedly average. That might change as he grows but I haven't been wowed by him at level 20 yet.

I actually didn't know that having units die lowered your PvP score, thanks. Like I said I'd been keeping everyone alive when possible since I'm still getting exp, but it's good to know there's an incentive at level cap too. And now that I think about it the daily special dungeon has "4 units alive" as a win condition so I imagine that'll hold true for future events.

Cordelia's art in this game really sucks, especially compared to some of the fantastic unique styles like Arthur and Serra, or even the more traditional anime ones like Lucina and Abel (abel's art is loving amazing)

Yeah this is why I'm leveling her. She's currently 26 and basically does nothing. I assumed upgrading her weapon would be enough to make her actually hit for more than 0x2 on everything but it absolutely didn't after a handful of levels.

I'm having similar "luck" with my 4* Lon'qu who I figured might be alright since Vantage is the good good but even he struggles to bust through even mediocre armor and just eats curb constantly.

the triangle really makes or breaks units at high levels. i dont know what level your dudes are or what difficulty content youve been doing but like, my Fae (green) who has super high resistance and HP gets mauled by red spellcasters.
