These quests don't have any follow-ups, no higher difficulty levels or anything, so basically it's just a little bonus for drawing a focus character.

So your reward for being lucky in getting a rare hero is even more stuff and the rest of us languish in Wrys hell

For now but who knows how far this gets pushed in the future if they're already doing this.

im definitely not somebody who gets worked up about gacha games but the last thing you want to see after you miss the new cool units is that also you're missing out on a thing by also not getting the thing you wanted. no matter the circumstance thats just going to elicit more bad feelings, people who get the unit probably will barely give a poo poo that they can fulfill an extra quest

I rolled my 40 saved up orbs and only got a 5* Cain..... Brutal.

How many feathers would I get if I sent him home as I have loads of 4* characters who I much prefer but absolutely no chance of saving up 20 000 feathers.

Rolled the full five two times, got 5* Nowi and Hinoka. Can't be upset about that, chances of rolling the new characters are probably really low anyway, considering all the other 5* characters you can roll.

I whaled slightly and rolled 60 orbs. no 5*s and like 3 4*'s.

Moral of the story is don't whale kids.

Also gently caress 5 3* pulls. That nonsense is horseshit

you can't pair up seliph and julia outside of a glitch, she was only attracted to him when she didn't realize they were related, and the incest in fe4 made everyone really unhappy was forced by the main antagonist, and also gave birth to literal satan. hm, yeah, that game sure seems to think incest is sexy and good, better constantly bring it up on the internet so everyone knows how much i think it's gross.

Anna's whole intro is "Uh, just so you know, things might get... skeeve. FYI."

Also, I didn't get any new draws, but the repeats let me up my Robin to five stars, so that worked out alright. Sucks he's got a minus attack plus HP nature, but life is cruel.

Got Ephraim by spending every hoarded orb I had on blue (except for a scary run of 5 or 6 fields without a blue available).

He'd better be good.

Aside from Kagero, they're debuffers first and foremost. Saizo gets points for debuffing in AoE, access to Harsh Command (flips debuffs into buffs) and Poison Strike, but the rest can only debuff one at a time. Matthew at least also has Poison Strike.

Jakob's skills are geared towards survival and has the strongest debuff of the dagger users (-7 at 5☆, -5 if you can't afford that much), so it's not completely terrible, but with only 4 slots per map you'll probably want to field something else.

I mean he makes everyone who fights him lose like 12 defense, unless he's made of paper I don't see how that won't end up good.

Actually come to think of it Threaten Def shouldn't stack with Seal Def since they're both out of combat (de)buffs. We know buffs like Rally Atk and Hone Atk don't stack, after all.

I took it as a sign from heaven to use my 20k feathers on Nino, yes.

Yeah, I don't think they'd stack. Either 5 or 7, whichever is lower.

Edit: Incidentally, I've been leveling up Eirika with some stamina elixirs I had lying around, and while I don't know how the last 10 levels will treat her, at level 30 she's mostly fast but with low DEF and high RES. Pegasus Knight stats, basically. Her ATK is okay, but nothing amazing.

I don't think those are particularly good stats, but I guess most of the time she'll just be sitting in the back making people stronger.

He's not made of paper but he's slow as molasses on a glacier in January (22 speed recorded at level 40; assuming that's a -spd Ephraim that puts him at 25-26 speed, which is godawful).

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
Investing in this dancer is hilarious and a great idea. Even if a mission goes fuckways I can just heal her, dance the healer and heal her again to make sure she never ever dies as long as a dude can't one shot her.

EDIT: Also all but one of my Seliph's levels so far have been empty. That one level was very disappointing. Seliph is the worst and I hate him.

Well, 75 orbs worth of pulling on only blue (and two mandatory pulls on since I got two 5x reds) has given some useful info.

1.) If you pull a character that was a banner character you still get the animation.

2.) This applies even if they're 3 stars.

hello
Anyone have a Julia and try her out a bit? Her kit seems to suggest shes a tanky green mage. That plus dragonslaying seems to make her someone that completely wrecks all the good Blue units in Arena. I finished up my 7 wins tonight, because I think my Arena team with 2 dragons is going to be unusable real soon.
