[up][up][up] Yeah, stats generally tend to get higher with 5-star versus 4-star. At lower levels, it's less noticeable, but by level 35ish, 4-stars versus 30ish 5-star, I'm facing a 3-6 points of difference per stat. On top of that,5-stars have abilities exclusive to that tier. Some are a bit of a power bump. Some are just plain stupid ridiculous (a very large amount of the personal weapons acquired by 5-star Lords).

[up][up]Just need to roll an identical 5* then, easy. tongue Not that I can complain of my lucky. I just checked that tier list and apparently my on 5*. Takumi, is top tier. And a 4* I just got, Tiki, is up there as well.

Btw, you are supposed to be able to merge same tier heroes, right? I think my game might be bugged then. I can't merge my two 4* Clarines.

[up]That makes sense. If it is a bonus to growth then the higher the level, the bigger the difference. Might be why I could win an advanced arena then. I was low level still.

The 5* paragons/lords with Falchion are ridiculously strong. Not only is the dragon damage handy, it also has 16 might compared to a silver sword's 11, and heals the wielder every third turn.

It's been fun.

Since I've got plenty of orbs and there are plenty to come, I summoned again. Clarine, Eliwood, Serra, Oboro (3*), and Setsuna (4*). Bleh. I like the characters, but nothing that really fills a hole in my team. Maybe Setsuna can be a better archer than Niles I guess.

Speaking on summoning and orbs, is it worth to save orbs for anything? I like collecting videogame stuff, so I was planning on just keep summoning 5 characters as soon as I got 20 orbs, but maybe I should be saving for something else? I did buy some exp castle upgrades as they were cheap and permanent.

you should probably upgrade your castle to the highest level it can be, as it gives you a +100% experience boost which is redonks

other than that, yeah, save your orbs for more characters

I think that's all you need them for, really. You can use orbs to revive characters if you lose somebody in a 4-survivor special map, but that's super not worth it.

It's been fun.

Another twenty orbs, another unsatisfying pull.

Got Arthur (4), Beruka (4), Azama (3), Subaki (3), and Felicia (3).

Well, at least I have some green units to choose from now.

I sure said that!

A quick tip I (sadly) just discovered: when you complete all fifth acts of storyline missions in normal mode, it unlocks the very same bonus rewards for hard mode. Which means that, if you already completed some of those "hard mode fifth acts", then you'll have to redo them to get the bonus exp. I assume the same applies to lunatic afterwards.

So - don't complete act V missions until you have cleared an entire level of difficulty, or you'll have to waste stamina replaying through missions you already did (and with smaller exp rewards).

The way arena works is incredibly stupid because the only way to get a good score is to have at least 1 of the special heroes. Without that, I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible to get ranked.

And the person who gets the #1 spot probably needs to have a team of four of them.

On the one hand, I like what they're trying to do because it encourages people to constantly shake up the meta.

On the other hand, it means that really only whales will be able to consistently do well in arena.

It would be better if it worked like FFRK where everybody had access to every hero, and the main gatcha item is equipment.

For what it's worth, all 4 of my characters were the "bonus" characters: 5* Marth. 5* Takumi, 3* Robin, and 3* Tiki.

According to a chart I saw, the bonus for having 1 of the characters is 2x, and the bonus for all 4 is 3x. Having 2 or 3 puts you somewhere in-between, at even intervals.

You know, I hadn't actually considered using a team of crappy 3* bonus characters and picking lower level opponents. That's probably worth more than using an optimized team with characters like Hector picking Advanced.

There's bound to be some easier way to get feathers in the works, and I suspect we'll eventually be able to fill all six skill slots on every unit through some method or another- Rank Inflation, consumable manuals, something.

I sure said that!

#268: Feb 6th 2017 at 3:28:39 PM

I dunno, feathers really seem secondary so far. I mean it's probably nice to stockpile them, but in all likelihood it's better to just wait until we have an idea of heroes worth promoting - or get enough pulls to pick the right one.

Arena was nice but nothing groundbreaking really, and the tries limitations make it very much secondary anyway.

I mean more like- That's the sort of thing that comes to every game of this type. They always start out really low on extras and add more and more as time goes on.

If you're not using your favorite Fire Emblem characters, the system has failed us.

Yeah, I'm hoping to see more stuff added to the game, as well. Something like Granblue Fantasy's Fate Episodes (little cutscenes focused on a character when you recruit them) would be a good start.

It's been fun.

[up][up][up]Indeed. My namesake is not even in the game. The system has failed me!

Also, I haven't been able to get the characters I do like. Most of the characters are from games I never played, and those who aren't are characters I never cared much about in the first place.

I was hoping to grind one of my teams a bit on Donnel's special map, but I'm having war flashbacks to Fates' Ninja Trains now, except it's worse, since all the units have different attributes and don't move unless baited.
