Fire Emblem: Expand

Yeah, at 5 star with +Attack, she's one of the strongest in the game- She shares second place with Lilina and Google Chrom (56) with the only one beating them is Effie (58).

But 44 attack on a 4 star is still quite good, and her defense is also very nice. I might try her as something of a mobile tank, Pivot makes her especially so.

Looks like we're on opposing sides, this time. I fell in with Lucina- which- now that I think about it, was probably a very dumb choice to make. I probably just screwed myself out of a lot of feathers.

Lucina leads with 2 times the points Eirika has. The Final is probably going to be Chrom vs Lucina.
So no, you're not going to lose feathers.

It's simply a popularity contest.
Shareena and Alphonse have no chance to win this, as both are still new and doesn't have much personalty as characters of Fire Emblem.
Leo and Elise, chances looks good, but they're against Eirika and Ephraim, both characters who's probably has a lot of fans as Sacred Stones is probably their first FE game besides Blazing Swords.
Ephraim and Eirika, reasons above. sadly they're now against Chrom and Lucina so their chances has been lowered.
Chrom and Lucina, 2 characters that actually saved Fire Emblem from getting cancelled altogether, it's still pretty new and has many fans.

I chose Lucina, because I have Lucina, choosing anyone else means I'm shooting my own foot, since I can't get the bonus points.

You get 500 if your team wins, but you can get a lot more if you rank high in the army.

Backing Sharena before, ranking was easy, since there were fewer people. Nabbed 1500 feathers, despite losing.

Here with Lucina, there is buttfuckton more people to try and rank against, and I don't have Lucina.

I just pulled a new Catria, and I'm not entirely sure which one to use. The +Spd -Def, or -HP +Def. The +Spd is very nice to have (35), but the -Def hurts a lot (23).

I'm also debating between either a +Spd -Def or -HP +Att Setsuna.

Just got 3 star Ursula. Used Lissa, Saizo, Severa, and Female Robin. Biggest headache are the fucking ninjas- Poison Daggers, Poison Strike, and Savage Blow. Saizo was the only ranged unit who had enough defense to tank those assholes and deal damage back. Lissa for full heals and can heal herself from the Savage Blow damage. Female Robin kills both cavalry units and Severa kills the knight.

I'm gonna have to really start focusing on getting characters to level 40. I don't think I can raise this team up in time to get the 4 star- Saizo's only level 28, for example.

Damn Fucking Ninjas...
Besides being overkill on damage stacking on infantry, you need to deal with TWO of them.
I can't finish the Lunatic Stage, and had to settle with 3* Ursula.
Used Nowi (35), Maria (35), Lilina (40) and Minerva (40) who tanks every damage, and hoping that none of my party get OHK by the ninjas... Had Nowi bait one of the Ninjas.

Guys that has Hector will surely find the ninja baiting easier. since Poison Knives doesn't proc with him being Armored.

lol, dear brother actually cleared that lunatic map on his 1st run with only 5* male Robin, 4* female Robin, 4* Olivia, and 4* Shareena. I tried using same method and also won albeit in critical condition. 3 tries with same tactic, same result.

The only thing I'm unable to beat atm is last map in main story of lunatic.

That said, rolled a Lucina, and got Fem Robin 5 star through upgrading, so I finally have a greenfeg at 5 star to work on.

I didn't really want Hector until this map. Armour and Distant Counter ought to make dealing with those fuckers a breeze.

Those ninjas did highlight a bit of a flaw in the current roster- no mounted archers. The majority of ranged units are infantry- who die. And the ninja have high resist, which makes the mounted mages do only chip damage. Their speed is absurd, too- Lyn is literally the only person I have who they can't double.

The Focus is kinda dumb for suggesting Setsuna as a counter for the ninjas. Yes, her bow prevents follow-up, but only at high HP. With the Poison Daggers and her poor defense, she's not gonna make use of that for very long.

You don't have male Robin, Pumpy? He can tank bottom ninja twice and deals good damage, too (especially with Shareena's fortify def+rally atk)...

I don't know the IV's on mine, but he got doubled and killed, so he might be -Def or -Speed.

I haven't actually tried the combo of Sharena and Robin, though- so I might give it a go. But then that leaves me with only two spots for someone to take out Ursula and the Knight and this map definitely requires healing. Maybe Nino.

I just wish the training tower gave more Exp. Even with my castle at 80%, it's incredibly slow to level up after level 32-33. The only characters I have at level 40 are Lyn, Young Tiki, Peri, and Camilla.

Hmm, what are your male Robin's def and speed? Mine are 32def and 25spd at max level.

From my tries, Nino can't 1-shot Ursula. Bringing max 4* female Robin is better as she'll counters Ursula to death and can chip away axe armor's HP (forcing above thief to sacrifice heal it, which makes it easy for male Robin to 1-shot the thief with bonfire). She can also deal ok damage to red cavalry, too. But seeing you don't have her at max level...

Dear brother said someone posted strategy video of defeating that map using mostly 3* units. Let see if he has the link of it...

Nah, it's cool- I beat it last night.

Serra, Eirika, Nino, and Male Robin.

With Eirika's boosts- Nino killed Ursula right away and the ninjas couldn't double Robin.

From there, it was just a question of turtling like crazy and extremely careful unit placement- keep everyone buffed, while making sure Robin was the only one in range of the ninjas and that Serra would be able to reach him to heal. Nino's Draw Back and Eirika's Pivot helped immensely for that. I was essentially just locked in leapfrogging everyone around the starting position the entire time.

And then a team effort to wipe out the cavalier and the knight. At the end, Eirika and Robin survived with 2hp.

New Batch of Heroes is out: Blazing Blade pack
1 red, Karel
1 Blue, Ninian, Dragon also has dance.
4 Colorless
-Rebecca, Archer
-Jaffar, Knife Thrower
-Priscilla, Healer
-Lucius, Healer

My main account got Jaffar, Ryouma (OUT OF NOWHERE) and my 3rd Minerva (She's a +2 now...lol)
My secondary account, got Marth and Ninian.

Jaffar is very offensive
Has Deadly Daggers, -7 Def/Res for enemies after combat, if Jaffar initiates the attack +7 Damage after combat, like Poison Strike 2
Also has Glimmer, Life and Death and Threaten Speed. referring to the usual tier list, he might be at least A tier.

Ninian is very defensive
her Light Breath+ gives out +4 Def/Res to adjacent Allies after combat. Has Dance, Escape Route and Fortify Def, with Fortify Dragons as the 3rd level passive. She might fall under Nowi at A rank, but that Dance though.

No clue on their stats yet.

After spent 100 orbs, only get 1 5*, Rebecca. At least her spd is nice. Other units worth to mention are Effie, Nowi, Beruka(?), and 3* female Corn-bearer...

Really hope skill inheritance will comes sooner...

So Inheriting skills is here.
I did this for now:
Gave my Minerva Vantage (from 4* Lon'qu), since she's usually the tank.

Gave my Lucina Renewal (from 4* Fae) Awesome at first, but shortsighted as I forgot that Basic Lucina is a SP whore since she has 3 Specials. she barely had any SP left and can only learn Renewal 1...I have to kill 540 enemies with her now. Imagine every 2nd and 3rd turn she heals a 10...the lolz

Gave my 5* Nowi Ignis (from 4* Henry), because she has high defense, and I just want her to have a Special for now.

from what I can understand 4* units is the most "profitable" unit to be sacrificed. You just simply need to check if at 4* that Unit has max lvl skill or not.
As such, Lon'qu is a better source for Vantage compared to Gordin or Reinhardt (dear god don't sacrifice Anna)
-Gordin learns vantage 3 at 5* and Reinhardt only drops at 4*. It's much easier to get 3* Lon'qu and raise him to 4*



BTW Get Hector Wings of Mercy, and let the LULZ commence.

For now I only did skill inheritance to Nino (Vantage) and male Robin (Swap, Quick Riposte), but guess I make a mistake giving vantage to very-low-HP Nino so might change it to something else later.

Gave my Male Robin Bowbreaker so Takumi can go fuck himself.

Also did a bunch of stuff for the hell of it- gave Sharena Sacred Cowl, since her only weakness really is mages. Also gave her Brash Assault- despite not really knowing how it works (my Bartre was -attack, anyhow).

Gave Nino and Sanaki specials- bit of a miscalculation on my part- I forgot that Nino's tome adds to her cooldown, so hers is 5 action. Gave Shanna Triangle Adept. Hanna one of those AOE attacks. and my +Def Cherche the special that deals damage according to unit defense. Sacked Wrys to Clarine for Rehabilitate and Heavenly Light- so now she's a pretty awesome healer.

I'm currently out of feathers, though- upgrading units to 4 star before passing skills.

I don't know if the game is aware of how much I hate Takumi, because I've gotten Setsuna's (i.e. Bowbreaker) on almost every one of my last few summons.

Also- what's the verdict on a +Speed, -Defense Hawkeye?

Finally beat Michalis at Lunatic.

Used
Minerva with Lancebreaker and Moonbow
Nowi Swordbreaker
Eldigan, only character that I got with the highest raw atk
Maria, for insurance.

No luck yet. Gotta wait until I max my 5* Nino to try again...

A lot easier then the Ursula map, anyway.

Beat lunatic on the third try.

Narcian easily beats the lancers- Emerald Axe and Lancebreaker, so even my 3 star at level 33 had no trouble.
Catria for the swordusers.
Sanaki to kill Michalis.
Olivia to help move people out of weapon triangle disadvantage.

Threw 5 orbs in just for the hell of it- finally got a Tharja. Sweet.

What is she? +HP, -Speed. Fuck.

Well, maybe the -Speed isn't too ba29SPEED WHATTHEFUCKINGSHIT. Goddammit.

Gonna have to juggle on whether Fury is worth putting on her, or if I should just keep her Darting Blow (or Defiant Speed).
