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.

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.

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.

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.

I like Clarine, but COME ON.



At least I got Sanaki, but my 5 stars are insanely Red-heavy. The only ones who aren't are Camilla and Male Robin.

Anyways, this Cherche is yet another Green with -Attack, but +Defense (my other one is -Attack and +Resistance, pretty much the worst combination for her), so I might actually use her. As a 4 star, this will mean 44 attack and 33 defense.

My Sanaki definitely isn't ideal, what with -Speed (23), but the +Resistance is kinda nice (37). She could probably tank some Blue mages with that, even with Triangle Adept.

First round of the Voting Gauntlet is over- who did you go for? I went with Sharena, who predictably got absolutely trampled by Lucina.

I just turn the wifi on my phone off/on.

Decided to give Sharena a shot.

Yeah, no chance. Lucina is just totally creaming her.

Gonna fight the good fight, anyhow.

So I'm starting to check out the IV's on my units.

Jesus fuck.

Almost all of my fucking Green units are minus attack.

Fred, Arthur, Cecilia, Cherche, and Beruka.

Motherfuck.

Laslow, Olivia, Oboro, and Saizo, too.


With all of them being about level 30, that's a shitfuckton of wasted time- especially the ones in which their attack is supposed to be their main selling point- which is most of them.

I might keep Olivia and Saizo, since they have utility outside of damage-dealing but holy fuck am I pissed.

At least my 5 stars (the ones I could see, anyways, gonna have to wait until level 40 for most of them) turned out alright.

Camilla -HP, +SPD
Lyn -HP, +RES
Tiki(y) +ATT, -DEF

Fir is one of my favourite characters, but her damage is just never gonna be up to snuff. Only with her special can she do any real damage.

I keep her around because I like her, but she's been keeping the bench warm for several weeks now.

Oboro suffers from some low speed and a skill that doesn't really do much unless you bring a mage/dragon along. Her Seal Defense is pretty great when training up lower level units, though.

4 star Cecilia does okay on the support and bait end, but she has trouble in battle with almost everyone. Same with F Robin, but, unlike Cecilia, she has no way to escape unfavourable matchups- which happen far too often.

Anyways- finally got a character maxed out. Camilla. Average Attack (38), Defense (28), and Resistance (31). Crap HP (34), but top Speed (30).

Not ideal, since she's a little fragile against the top-tiers, but the speed comes in mighty handy a lot. Doesn't get doubled too often and can occasionally pull a quadruple strike.

I upgraded Gordin (I pulled a 4 star on the summons, so I also merged) and now he's finally putting in some work. I also got a 3 star Eliwood, but his survivability is a little weak- even with Holy Vestments.

Also- figures that Odin would jump up several tiers after I got rid of him.

I'm juggling with Arena teams. I think they're mostly okay, but my biggest problem is when I go into level 30 matches but the opponent is some asshole who cheesed the system with a level 40 Takumi and level 20 Olivia. They need to fix that.

My current roster for Arena:

5 star

Young Tiki, Roy, Chrom, Lyn, Camilla, Male Robin

4 star

Peri, Catria, Female Corrin, Nino


Training up my 5 star Eirika. I might bring Lissa into matches as well, since she's probably my best healer. I also just got a 4 star Saizo, so I might bring him.

...

Nier is now banned from the game.

As the game was only released a few days ago, I think I'm gonna file this under my "debut season" exception. So Hentainose gets to keep her. Sorry, Tsam.

Also, 4 of the 6 new characters (along with the suspected Ursula) are mounted units- two(3) of them with blue tomes.

Female Robin is gonna be eating these people like candy.

Also, this has been leaked.



If it's like the Battling Robin focus, this gives a good idea of what type of team to assemble for the next Hero Battle.

You're also a 5 star magnet, so I wouldn't complain.

But yeah, since about half the characters are Red type, they can and will show up a disproportionate amount of times. I myself pulled a 5 star Eirika the other day.

New batch of Focus is mage-centric, which is interesting, as I've only got five mages currently and three of them are Green.

Launch celebration and the new paralogues means a nice new batch of 15 orbs, but the ever-present problem of stamina remains to hound us. Costs should cap out at 10, and the stamina bar itself should be doubled.

What sorts of units do you have?

But yeah, you only have one day left to train up a team.

Come March, they're planning on adding a new "Inherit Skill" feature. No details yet, but the speculation is that you can sacrifice one of your characters to give someone else one of their skills. People are already talking about putting Vantage on Takumi, to which my response will be going up to Intelligent Systems personally to tell them to fucking ban him from the meta or I will purposely catch AIDS and make it my mission in life to fuck everyone who does this.

Also- Female Robin is said to be quite useful for the next Grand Hero Battle- which means that the next one is very likely to be Ursula.

I know I said Fir is one of my favourite characters, but COME ON.

Mostly for the Robin map, no armoured units there.

And, pretty crap pulls on my latest summon. Buncha repeats- but I did get a 4 star Catria, which is pretty great.


Speaking of the Robin map, I might not be able to level up a team in time. Have a bunch of characters about the 28-32 level and they're not getting much experience from the tower.

Maybe it's just Fire Emblem bias here, but I find that- unlike other gatcha games- the game itself is rather quite fun. Resources are still tight (especially that fucking stamina)but I think Heroes is definitely one of the better designed mobile games.



Yeah, I can see how mobility skills would be very useful for that damned chokepoint- unfortunately, most of my units of mobility skills would have quite a lot of trouble here (Beruka, Draug, Bartre, Frederick).

I just went to test the waters with my Arena team. Shanna, Tiki, and Camilla at level 38. Azama level 34. Camilla got gangbanged hard and couldn't escape.

I'm gonna have to train up a team. All my other characters are in the 30-20 range. I do have Fir, but I'm gonna have to bump her to 4 star and grind that girl like crazy. My only red mage is Raigh, and I don't think he'll be able to tank any hits. Nino is too much glass to make use of her cannon.

I might unequip his Triangle Adept and try Roy, he's got the best Res out of my swordusers.
