Fire Emblem thread: Now with more permadeath!

Holy Hell my Arena matchups are fucking ridiculous. 6 out of 7 teams I fought were Pony teams on the worst possible maps, and I would have done decently had two of them not thrown fucking Cecilia on them.

Yeah it feels like arena has 2 modes, cakewalk or ā€œFuck youā€

That and Cecilia being a bonus unit when sheā€™s the easiest to pass a blade tomb to because of how common Nino is probably is a bit of a factor, donā€™t think people realism bonus units donā€™t help your defense score yet.

The Ceciliaā€™s I fought were Ravenā€™d, which almost fucked me over.

Thereā€™s an FE Heroes channel about an hour and a half for anyone interested:

Also this already passed but everyoneā€™s least favorite flier to pull Shanna ruint Takumi in the latest Voting Battle.

New Heroes incoming (spoilerz):

Damnā€¦ this is an amazing update. Rip Delthea. Iā€™ll be upgrading my Lindeā€™s tome and then saccing Delthea to give uer drive atk.

FEH too good. IS knows how to bring the hype.

Finally Seliph and Eliwood wonā€™t be useless.

Man staff users needed that buff, looking forward to feeding my pity break Lucians to my other staff users and actually getting some benifit.

Besides a Jacob I wasnā€™t looking for but who actually turned out quite strong Halloween banner still ainā€™t giving up the good stuff though, keep getting pity broken either by duplicates of 5 stars I already had or ones with absolute shit IVs.

Probably going to see if Jacob makes any more chain challenges do-able for me now and raid the fuck out of the upcoming tempest trial for all itā€™s orbs, already cleared out the squad assaults and all the monthlys.

Strongly recommend spending the 20000 feathers to 5* Cordellia to anyone who has her at 4* btw, did that and slapped rage, desparate blow and a brash assualt seal on her and with a dancer she just wipes out entire maps like they are nothing, best feather investment so far IMO, definitely earned me a few orbs in the chain challenges.

I hope Bow Lyn gets nerfed. I refuse to play Arena now cause every team has her.

For bow Lyn I created two units tailor made to taking her out in arena assault, Boey with Triangle Adept and Gronnraven, as well as Gordin with bow breaker 3. Gordin does a surprisingly good job tanking hits from Bow Lyn and killing her on the counter attack. I recently pulled a brave Ike that Iā€™m working on too.

I usually end up having to tank her.

Which brave Ike do you guys think I should keep?

+HP, -Res or +Res, -Spd

Iā€™m leaning towards the +HP, -Res one. I figure the extra HP would help me tank more hits. I plan on using the second one for Dorcas

Dorcas +HP, -Spd
Stout tomahawk
Reposition
Aether
Steady Breath
Quick Riposte
Infantry Pulse

What do you guys think?

Keep the +HP one.

Yeah go +HP simply because it isnā€™t -SPD, the less things that can double you the better.

Got mah H!Nowi +HP and -SPD though, canā€™t waste more orbs on rolling for a better one when Iā€™m still sniping for H!Sakura though.

Edit: -HP +ATK H!Sakura get! Finally a worthwhile dagger user.

I have a +Atk -Spd Brave Ike and I find that being doubled actually helps him charge his aether special paired with steady breath. He can survive most fights during enemy phase then unleash an aether nuke to heal his lost health back.

Quick Riposte 3 is a great b slot on him. I would say +res is a pretty decent boon on him since it allows him to tank magic hits better.

Man this new versionā€¦

8% for 5 stars???

Yes now is the time to blow your orbs before lamenting your brokeness during the inevitable christmas or new years banner.

Pulled Bridal Cordelia and Genny off it so far, might move over to green if I get enough ftp orbs to pull more to try and get a Hector to feed distant counter to my Amelia with.

The feee Fjorm you get from doing book 2 of the story is pretty sick too, built in distant counter on her weapon.

Children of Fate banner characters and their stats:

Eh only one I like is Soliel and sheā€™s yet another infantry sword.

Fuck mr ā€œI suicide in my paralogueā€, Tharja Mk2 and Prince Bland.

Itā€™s only for that particular banner. Once in awhile they have these special banners. After that it will go back to 3%.
