Fire Emblem: Expand

I'm actually still using Sharena; she's pretty decent imo. I think I'll rank her up as well 'cause she has some damn good skills looking at her list. But yeah, at least in other mobile "card" games, your starters are at least of a little higher rarity.

Hopefully they'll be quite generous with freebies/rewards when they start events in this game. Less ranking events, plz...

She is pretty well-balanced, which is quite an asset when you can only field four units. Decent defenses, good speed, solid attack, and her Rally Attack can be a lifesaver. Anna is Glass Cannon personified. Alfonse is kinda useless since I've got 5 Stars Chrom and Roy.

With how scaled down everything is, it's a nice surprise that things are- if anything- more tactical. Obviously you won't get the sweeping epics fro the earlier games, but I actually kinda like it.

It is a little frustrating sometimes. On one map with walls and narrow corridors, it took me about 15 turns of just slowly leapfrogging my characters around each other to stop them getting killed by an archer and a knight.

I only leveling Alfonse up because there's mission that requires him, otherwise I'd rather use Fir and Laslow.

In need of good flier, axe-wielder, and mage...

But Money can't buy you Rank ups though, since most of the heroes won't drop naturally as a Rank 5*



lol that quest. I didn't level him, just put him far behind and let Minerva do her job of being a mobile glass cannon.
Seriously I don't know if I want to learn her "Life and Death" skill to 3. +5 Atk/Spd while - -5 Def/Res, her Special doesn't work well with this, since the damage reduction is fixed to 30%, leveling up only reduces the cooldown.
My Minerva at lvl 26+1
HP 33
ATk 43
SPD 26
DEF 23
RES 11


and I just realized you can't farm the special Map...damn
So it increases 10x per rank, they need to either reduce that or, make a farming place.
1 -> 2 20
2 -> 3 200
3 -> 4 2000
4 -> 5 20000

I just hope they are willing to hear their players and willing to change things if needed.

Well, here's the thing.

You either get lucky and draw the character you want at either 4 or 5 stars.

Or you level them up, spend the extremely rare feathers to boost their star rating, and level them up again.

The only way to get feathers is either the extremely meager amounts gotten by greeting your friends and the arena battles- or by refunding characters you don't want.

The quickest way to get feathers is just sending back the characters you don't like.


So in either case- by getting lucky pulls or refunding your characters- the only way to get 4 and 5 star characters is through summoning.


Going through various forums, I think that's the biggest quip everyone has with the current system- just how expensive things are, either in real life cash and/or in-game resources. Some people have already completed the current campaign on all difficulties, and thus have no way to get more orbs. Later levels and higher difficulties are absolutely monstrous to your stamina bar. And the feathers are always going to be a nightmare.

So if they want to keep this game going, they're gonna have to be a little more generous on the resources front. Stamina and feathers being especially prohibitive.

EDIT: Either I missed it, or Kaimax edited that in just now. Small note- the feathers go up a factor of 10 for each stage. 20 feathers for 1 star to 2 stars, 200 from 2 to 3, 2000 from 3 to 4, and the total go-fuck-yourself-with-a-serrated-dildo from 4 to 5.

I've been wondering this for a while now, but how can you tell if you drew a focus hero? I just got 5 star Tiki but I dunno if she's focus or not. I'm also curious if we need to finish our 7 chain in the arena battles to get the bonus because the "season" or whatever ends either today or tomorrow and I still have 2 left to reach 7.

Focus heroes have a cinematic intro.



Jump to 4:24

Oh, so does that just mean they're the unique ones to that gatcha then? 'Cause I got 2 Robin males with cinematic intros, but they were 4 and 3 stars. Disappointed me big time.

Yeah, I'm guessing those are gonna be the "limited time offer" sort of thing (I think the 15th is when they're gonna cycle into a new set). The cinematic plays for those characters, regardless of rarity.

I've been pretty lucky in that all of my Focus characters (Roy, Camilla, and Lyn) also ended up being 5 stars. If I can get Lucina next time, I'll be happy. I don't think Focus heroes are any better than regular heroes of the same rarity, though. More of just a nice little perk with having the cinematic.

Also- you can tell if you're going to have a 4 or 5 star hero if the summoning stone emits a small shockwave. I've noticed that when pulling a 4 star Peri and Cecilia last night.

Also, somebody is starting to post some nice high-res rips of the artwork from the game.

A Different Tier List
http://feheroes.wiki/Tier_List

Current Top in that is Cordelia, Hector and Takumi

Got to max my chains in pvp today, but still at 2k points. Eh, I'll stay with this.

Tfw no reward in stratums today. Wew.

Lol, won a duel by cheesing with Marth.

It was my Lucina, Marth, Minerva and Serra Vs Takumi, Efie, Corrin M and Hawkeye.

In the end there was only Marth and Efie left. Lucina did a good job on lowering her HP with her special before getting curbstomped, after that I just let Efie attack first while Marth did a measly 4 dmg attack on her. But after every attack, I make Marth run like a fool (Efie can't chase down Marth) and wait till his HP is full again, and rinse and repeat, till Efie is dead by counter attack.

Currently on 2200 High score for Arena, nobody has attacked me yet, now I'm trying to put my Serra as bait, by putting her on the first slot.

My high score at 2278. The Defense Results listed like 5 peeps fought my team, with successful defense mentioned. Now I know why I got spammed friend request out of nowhere.

I'm currently playing the game on Japanese, and got a news notif that there'a 10000 retweet = 10000 Hero Feathers.
But when I checked my sister's account which is playing on english, it doesn't have the news notif.
Does this mean events are region specific?

Also, just had my worst Summons, all 3 Stars at a 4% rate.. damn

Serenes says it's worldwide, so maybe it's just a time thing.

And- goddamnit. 10k feathers is a lot of fucking feathers. I... I- mi- might. Have to. Get. A... tw- t. Twit-



...

ARGH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, FIRE EMBLEM- YOU'RE TURNING ME INTO SUCH A FUCKING WHORE.


A SLUTTY FUCKING WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRREEEEEE.


DAMN YOU.

You don't need too as it doesn't bind your twitter account.
It only needs 10.000 Re-tweets to reach the goal, and everyone will get 10.000 Feathers. And when I first noticed the event and was about to retweet, it already passed 20k, later 50k when I check again.

Let the Japanese do the job done, eh... Btw, how do you play the Japanese ver?

Just change the language to Japanese in the FAQ Settings
-It will restart and download the voices and stuff.

Just remember, everything is turned into Japanese.

I see... Guess it'll be too much for me.
