    To your unit imbalance thing, Fliers have never benefited from terrain bonuses in Fire Emblem. Healers would be a lot better if their healing power scaled with their level because it's kinda pointless to be healing for 10 when you're getting chunked for 30+.

    Edit: The way you're "supposed" to use Lyn is get her knocked below half HP to trigger Vantage and then hope she can one-round whatever else attacks her.

    That's something you see in these games. Everything is mostly face-roll until the designers decide on a threshold for further content that requires X power. Not sure if it's to sell more pulls or artificially extend content while you grind power, but I've seen it in Brave Frontier, Puzzle and Dragon, and Granblue Fantasy's story modes.

    Pulled a 2nd Lyn... wasn't even pulling on her banner. 2nd 5* being a dupe sucks.

    you can combine two 5 stars into one 5 star focus

    5* and 5* focus are the same thing. 5* focus is just a 3% extra chance of getting the banner focused units. All you get for combining is some extra off-stats which I'd rather just keep two Lyns.

    You can combine the 2 Lyns for bonus stats, not sure why he's talking about focus. Just be sure to take the favorite mark off the 2nd Lyn first.

    Spent the last of my attainable "free" stones from missions on one last pull.

    Young Tiki!

    At least I got another 5*, but damn I am way overloaded on red units. I am also 90% sure I sent a Catria home thinking she was another Est, so I'm trying to have that restored. But after the initial run of this game and looking at the tier list this is what I have ended up with:

    Red: Lyn (5* Sword), Tharja (4* Tome), Tiki (5* Beaststone)
    Blue: Sharena (4* Spear), No Blue Tome, FCorrin (4* Beaststone)
    Green: NOTHING! Cecilia (2* Tome)
    Neutral: Jeorge + Niles (4* Archer), Felicia (4* Throw), Clarine + Serra (4* Cleric)

    Definately need green units, but not terrible when I get feathers for 5* upgrades.

    I think they shouldnt have made all sword users automatically red.

    Lyn should have been a green sword. Marth could have been a blue sword. stupid mechanics

    it's pretty true to the real FE games though. basically the weapon triangle was like:


    sword > axe
    sword > lance
    sword > sword


    basically

    Either you really fucked that up or I'm missing the joke. Lances have pretty much always been the best outside of games where Axes have absurd MT.

    Nintendo seems to be listening to customer feedback.

    Release celebration event (2 orbs daily) extended until mid march.

    Stamina costs for skills will remain at 0 and training stages will remain at half cost indefinately.

    Early March update will increase the range you can still get exp from defeating lower level units.

    Sword > Axe > Lance > Sword
    Red > Green > Blue > Red

    That said, you've probably already noticed Bow > Flyers and Hammer(Axe class weapon) > Armored Units.

    There's some unique exceptions but overall thats the concepts. it made a bigger difference when Accuracy and Evasion were a thing...

    Very good news. Was not looking forward to the Training Tower cost increase. If we could just get a stamina cap increase I don't think I'd really have any complaints.

    Edit: Except 5* Feather cost. Forgot about that shit.

    I know how WTA works, he used the wrong signs which is why I was confused.

    And the weapon triangle makes a bigger difference in Heroes than it does in most other FE games. This game is a 20% attack bonus/penalty. In most other games it's just +/- 1 or 2 MT and +/- 10-20 Hit. The reason swords suck in most games is because they're locked to 1-range (or use Magic instead of STR when attacking at 2-range like the Wind blade/Levin Sword).

    Yesss, got Takumi just now before banners change. Still no Camilla, but I did get a 4* Raven.

    EXP change will be nice. That's part of what makes going from 20-25 rough, as well as 35+. Like, if you're 23, one tier would slot up at like 18, while the other would be 28. If you're rocking 5 stars, you could probably manage, but anything else is gonna have a hard time being 2-3 levels over at that point of stat growth. Though, part of the 35+ problem is they just generally outclass 3-4*s and the triangle becomes that much more important. Still sucks having "strong" units getting decimated by their weakers in counters, though.

    Hopefully they'll work on the feather issue, or at least get more generous in their dispersal. Given I feel 6* is an inevitability, alongside a level cap increase, the thought of some exponentially higher number than 20k makes me wanna wretch.

    Well I definitely know which of the two new banners I'm dumping all my orbs into.

    Although Hawkeye's artwork is so fucking cool...

    Why do I waste all my luck on this kusoge? No money spent...would be nice if there was a reason to login more than once a day. Right now I just clear last stratum and do my arena then call it a day.
