Fire Emblem thread: Now with more permadeath!

I mean if it was an armor team it’d be more understandable, but he’s running ponies so he’s better off replacing Olivia with a sword.

His Rein is great though (if it was +Atk-Speed it’d be perfect, but really any +Atk Rein will wreck). Azura’s a dancer so all she wants is speed to not get doubled, so she’s good.

Yeah my two strongest characters are mounted, so I want to figure out who to use to keep up with them and their crazy mobility. Lyn is fast and has ranged and the Cordelia has the flying mount and crazy range too. Both are 5 stars, I am not sure what I should add to them to make them stronger.

Yeah, I completely forgot about Olivia and Azura being on the same team since I was so used to having Olivia. Whoops. Looks like Black Knight would be a great fit for a balanced team.

I have enough feathers to do it but says I need 20 of some other thing. Look like badges of a color I don’t have lol. Seems like they change daily. Shit

Oh, those you get from fighting in the training tower. The top levels usually drop more than the lower levels…

Tbh if you get them its worth keeping a dancer of each type, that way whenever “Beat x level with a sword/spear/axe unit on your team” missions pop up you can just slot a dancer of the required type into your team for it.

Speaking of that the quest for the new Azura continues, got spooked by iniago twice now, desire senser too strong.

Any tips for grinding tempest trials? Only getting a couple hundred or so per run. I did however try my luck at a couple summons on the tempest trial banner and got Ike +spd -def. Not ideal, but the other one I got was -atk +HP which didn’t seem good. Do you guys feed 5 stars into each other or use them for skill inheritance? I heard something about a merge bonus for units which keeps with their star level.

Running: YM Ike, LoB Azura, Brave Lyn, and Rein now. Seems like a solid team to start.

Best way to run tempest is simply to have a good team to run through it on Lunatic with and to use the bonus units. Tempest grades you in two areas: Speed (How many turns you use) and Survivors (How many units you lose.) Having a team that can get through maps quickly without dying alot will net you a high grade (and in case they do die having strong backups helps too.) Units that can counter ranged attackers (Like Ike), can tear units apart in one attack (Like Rein), and can draw ranged enemies to them without dying (Brave Lyn can draw mages if she needs to, Ike can draw bows and daggers) are extremely useful. You also may want to bring along a unit that can heal your other units (either a healer, a Breath of Life attacker, or a unit with Ardent Sacrifice or Reciprocal Aid.) Your team seems fine but Lunatic Black Knight may give you some problems, so have a good backup of strong blue units.

Merging 2 units of the same rank together will increase the stats of the unit you are not sacrificing (think of them as bonus levels). It’s best to do this at 5 stars, as ranking up a unit removes the bonus levels.

Not sure what you have at your disposal so I’ll just post up how I’ve been doing it.

Team 1:
Ike with base set
Nowi with vantage and bonfire
Fae with Lightning Breath+ and Quick Repost
Any healer will do

These will often last at least halfway, sometimes even to the end

Team 2:

2 Blade tomb mages
Erika
Wellfare Lucina with Regenerate and Ardent Sacrifice

Semi-throwaway team just to make progress without risking having nothing left to take out stage 7

Team 3:

Olivia with Ruby Sword and Wings of Mercy
Tharja with draw back and desperation
Nino with Rage, draw back, desperation and glimmer
Bridal Ceader but any blue mage should work, has rally speed

Mages nuke everything

Team 4:
Never needed one.

Pulled two Gordon’s and a bad Leon, fuck this game and fuck colorless hell.

Thanks to Heroes glitching and not letting Arena Assault work for a bit, everyone gets free orbs sometime soon.

I got a Brave Heroes Ike…everything else has been poo. I got a couple of more Nino’s.

How was it we determined their IV’s again?

His stats at level 1 right now are

hp 18 atk 26 spd 6 def 9 res 4

Assuming it’s 5 Star, yours is +HP - RES.

Yeah it’s a 5 star

-RES +Anything Brave Ikes are wonderful. You’re good.

I just used this site to find out the IVs: https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/hero/performing-azura

Fuck yes finally got Tiki from the banner, slapped lighting breath+ and vantage on her with the quickness.

So I just recently got into this series starting with Fire Emblem GBA. Really fun/frustrating game, the last few chapters made me salty but I’m sure it’d not that bad if I knew what I was doing lol. I didn’t like restarting after a unit died, I ended up saying screw it towards the end of the game and let units just stay dead.

Now I’m playing sacred stones and I am enjoying it so far.

Although the game came out years ago, I wish more people would visit my castle in Fates. MY MIDORI FARMS GOLD!!! :33 (…and all stats 99. Some guy hacked and I got her from another castle)

Because of school and work, I haven’t had time to check out the newer emblem games.

Sacred Stones is good and way easier if I recall. i was almost done but had a corrupt save file smh.

and I too just let units die when near the end shit not worth it sometimes to restart
