+ATK Reinhardt with Death blow 3 has made arena way simpler.

Quick question:

For the purposes of arena, would it be better for me to stick with my current configuration (Nino + Azura + Eirika + whatever arena bonus unit I'm using) or go to work on Xander once he's released and run him in a cavalry build alongside Olwen, Reinhardt, and whatever arena bonus unit I'm using?

In between Ike and Xander, the list of reds that Nino can't kill without Desperation will be noticeably higher as a result, whereas the list of things that Olwen can't 1RKO with a total of +10 ATK and Speed buffs is going to be insanely small (49 ATK and 45 speed with a brave tome will do that sort of thing, leaving only green tomes as an issue).

EDIT: Also had a funny moment last night when I spent 60 orbs trying to get Ike, failed (getting a +Speed/-ATK 5* Merric and my 4th Lyn), did the normal stages of chapter 10, then did a hail-mary 1-pull right after and got +ATK/-RES Ike.

14 RES at level 40 is...worrying.

He won't really be surviving anything at 18 res, I don't see it as much of a loss . . .

Having desperation on your weapon allows you to combo it with another B slot, something which no other character can do. Brash Assault is a popular one.

What do you guys think I should do for project mega-Ike? I've already gotten quick riposte and a support slot skill, but does anyone have any ideas what I can fill his C slot with? I'm thinking either threaten Attack to ensure he can Heavy Blade just about everything, or some sort of hone in order to grant synergy with my Eirika, Nino, Ninian team. Kinda funnily, that would mean I should give him fortify Res, as that's the only skill that doesn't already have some kind of buff in that team. But... where do I get fortify Res?

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

My Bunny Chrom is great, especially for these defense maps. He's kitted out with the Carrot Axe, Ardent Sacrifice, Renewal 3 and Breath of Life 3. He's +SPD too, which means his attacks are pretty awesome too. I find it funny that my best healer isn't even a healer.

They stack yeah. Other than turn 5, you're getting a 10 hp heal every round, and a 20 hp heal every six rounds. Combine that with Sol/Aether and it can make for a very pesky chokepoint. Or until some mage comes along and OHKOS you anyway.

Unlike chrom, Lucina murders everything. I want the character to be good in addition to the healing.

I also have two perfect IV Lucinas

Murderion posted:

Microtransactions are based around a psychological niche price that a person considers to be trivial (under $5 roughly, but it varies), so it looks like they thought people were going to drop cash on single pulls :psyduck:

The microtransaction model is different from the gacha model. The latter encourages mass purchase of currency. The pricing model in FEH is the same as pretty much any other gacha game (volume discounts). I bet all pricing decisions were built around the idea of 20 orbs per 5-roll and then added the discount and pity counter features to encourage people to roll until the end.

Of course they then undermined themselves by releasing color-unbalanced banners and making colorless underwhelming, which encourage people to focus on specific colors. (Although thinking about it the former was maybe on purpose too since it means the player will on average spend more per roll than originally designed)

I only spent money on Dokkan Battle a couple of times, when the currency was discounted to the point where you could do a full pull (10 characters in that game) for less than £4/5, and the banners themselves were particularly exciting (new range of super power creep units, bonus free stuff when doing a full pull etc.)

Unless Heroes starts doing little events like that I won't ever spend money on it.

Merging question, so whenever you merge two units of the same rarity you get all the inherited skills the lost unit knows right? Does it matter what level the two units are? Does the unit you keep have to be lower?

It's up to you whether you want to reroll, but general consensus is Titania is kinda meh. If you want to reroll, reroll for Ike since he's the best focus character from this banner. That said if you roll a Ryoma, Hector, or to a lesser extent Azura, it's a good idea to keep them since they're the most wanted units.

Also, if you want to bother with it, most units have an internal +/- to their stats, you can punch in their level 1 stats on a stat calculator online and find out which stats get an increase/decrease.

Yeah you get them all, and if the unit being eaten has the skills learned the eater inherits them learned as well. Skills that have not been learned/inherited but not learned transfer as well, but unlearned. Doesn't matter what level they are.

I merged a buff Eirika yesterday with a new one with better IVs and it was hard to find clear information about it, since they've only just changed it maybe? But its very generous.

I got another 20 orbs so I did a pull on 2 reds and 2 greens chasing Ike and Titania. I got a Karel, do I use him or turn my Hana into that dumb Wo Dao+ meme machine and does she handle multiple Hectors without dying (though as long as she's not merged, I might not be in whale territory again)?

People in the mobile gaming thread in the anime subforum are open and honest about their spending habits.

Dokkan battle had an event recently where you got a ticket for every 50 stones you had spent (10 characters, rrp ~£25) over the lifetime of the game. Largely f2p players like myself got 40-60 tickets, depending on when they started playing.

One SA forums poster received 628. edit: And another got 850 wow.

If you're really set on re-rolling, go for an Ike with +attack. Distant counter is a super useful skill and it's baked into his weapon.

Just for clarity, they don't even need to be the same rarity. You can feed 3* dudes with skills into a 5* no problem.

The game's still fun but I really wish they would add more content more often. There needs to be something that's not Arena to work towards. Something "gently caress off if you don't have 3 +10 Hectors for this map" challenges or something

Yeah I was talking about the unit merging changes they added to inheritance; you can only merge units that are the same rarity even though you can inherit skills between rarities.
