That was my basic impression of FEH players, which made it an easy game to pass on. Slightly cringe-y characters most of the time, followed by the occasional close-enough-to-child-porn image that I'd never want it open near friends or co-workers.

Got a VoL from my 10+1 - he's not so hot, right?

Funny, I've certainly pulled more quantity of 5*s since the rate-up went live, but not a single one has been played (other than farming 2 of Prishe's TM, oh and Fohlen's as well).



EDIT: Enhance Wilhelm, get his TM, K.Delita's, and 3-4 Patriotic Recalls. He's dreamy.

Got a Roy. :) or :( ?

Actual question: my Soleil is fully upgraded - is Roy an absolute upgrade in every sense? Or does he lack anything Soleil might bring?

Looks like even for OTKO strategies, they are equal in turn-1 ATK boost, right?



EDIT: Decided to ride my good luck and do a lapis 10+1 on the Christine banner... all blues. Hot hand fallacy verified.

Roy is absolutely better than Soleil. I thought I was going to hate his song chain but it's not that bad and if you gear him with good LB crysts generation he'll be popping that every turn.

Roy has been the MVP of my runs on the last 3 trials. He's amazing and while I dislike the mysogny of his victory animation, it's pretty fitting.

Thanks for this and to others who replied. Sounds like I should be happy about Roy, but it'll be tough getting over my sunk-cost fallacy with Soleil.

Here's a question. I've got two Dark Knight Cecil's. Should I enhance both of them assuming I can ever get the crysts? I fully intend to get his 7*, and I also don't ever se myself using two of him.

Is there any way not enhancing/leveling my 7* fodder will bite me in the butt?

So, are we supposed to get our enhancement batch tonight or next week? I know event content cycles on Thursday nights but we usually have enhancements and awakenings right after maintenance. I was kinda hoping to blow all my support crysts on Ramza while the raid event was still going.

I think the prophets say "next week," citing they usually come mid-month.

I forgot I had a 4* banner, and this morning I decided I'd like the dinosaur. Did the ticket pull and failed, so I made the wise choice to keep pulling normal tickets until one turns gold, and then I'd stop.

Before the gold, two rainbows.

can someone tell me if I need to enhance my 2 Aileens? I have DV and enh.O as my current chainers, pretty well equipped, and generally use Luneth as a finisher if I can.

Cobalt60
Jun 1, 2006
Aileen was my first 5* on my account. She was on-banner when I started the game. I'm happy she's finally worth pulling off the bench, perhaps to replace my DV and O team.

But ... I guess I finally have to fight the Robot Trial, since that's BiS for her?? drat... does that thing still take multiple hours to beat? I heard reports and just never bothered reading more.

Or, is there a non-Aigion-Arm build anywhere?

Cobalt60
Jun 1, 2006
Thanks for the Aileen and Robot tips, I'll dig in soon.

A bit annoying that the top damage build for her uses TDH FD: http://ffbeequip.lyrgard.fr/links/HnBcSE

Does the story event have an effective way of farming both Tech and Power Heavicrysts? Would love to enhance my other Aileen for no-friend chain fun.

Related question: Is E.Aileen a good friend unit, or should I just stick to Orlandeau / DV?

Regarding Crowe's TMR, I have 3 Patriotic Recalls already, and was thinking I'd get a fourth for my Wilhelm, but I see many builds out there with 3xPR plus one Crowe - is it that good to include?

Cobalt60

Been lazy and finally made a pass at enhancing both my Aileens...

I need 5 Power Giantcrysts and 12 Heavi. Does that just mean "forget it don't even bother?"

I generally prefer to have control over my DPS, rather than rely on a perfect friend unit, but maybe it's not worth it and I'll just stick with Orland/DV combo that's already equipped...

Office Thug posted:

I enhanced both of my aileens and I have gear for them. They are really good, yes, but with only 4 power purecrysts left and like a billion upcoming unit enhancements I'd really like to get I'm kind of feeling it was a poor decision already.

Onion Knight needs like 16 purecrysts by himself if you want all his splendors.

But But BUT it's worth it because Aileen is top-tier DPS chainer up until 7*s are released... right??



On a dumber note, I just spent a minute checking which 5% trust moogle I should buy from the current event. At 10k currency, I wanted to be sure I only got useful ones. Was ready to roll when I realized I counted a zero too few

Free pull was my first Ayaka

I actually went to the subReddit just to be sure there wasn't some bug this morning. Nice that the previous event still had 100 catuars so I could level Ayaka.

I need to read up on both toons, I have no idea how to use either.

I'm not seeing a relevant walkthrough for Aigaion. Any thoughts on team comp for robot trial? Would I be able to kill him the "faster" way?

DPS options:
Orlandeau + DV
e.Aileen x2
Fryveia and I guess a Friend?
Luneth, FV, BS Sakura, VoL x2, e. Olive

Support options:
e. Wilhelm (around 14000 hp, I think)
Ayaka or Tillith
Roy or Soleil
Rikku x2 I guess
e.Delita



I have no magic dudes at all. I do have a Pod, if that helps.

awesome much appreciated everyone. At the risk of getting annoying, let me ask a slightly different question. I haven't killed any of the following trial bosses, is there any particular order I should try them in? Reminder that I have no magic DPS other than BS Sakura who's not even leveled yet:

Robut
Echidna
Malboro
Moon man
cold bird
Elnath
Sheraton


EDIT: by "order" i mean do any of the items specifically help with other trials in a meaningful way?

I have too many crysts and feel compelled to ability awaken a finisher. Olive, DKC, Cupid Arty, or Luneth? I have 4 DKC and 2 Olives so they're 7* capable. I have no Clouds or Efreetas so there's no TDH parts to go around. Orlandu is my go to physical elemental chainer (no OK) with TT and Barbie magic chaining.


May not be popular, but if you're chaining with Orlandeau/DV, I like Luneth a lot. My setup saw all three of them with an excal and a moonblade each, so that both DV and O's imperils work, PLUS the bonus from element chains.

Luneth is nice in this type of setup because you can just mash O, DV, Luneth reasonably (but no need for TURBO) fast and you'll get big unbroken chains pretty regularly.
