It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.

I don't know, I've gotten all of this month's quests done on the same day they came out. Ike took two days with the high stamina Lunatics.

But the hero battles are the type of content I mean but they are far cry from 3 +10 Hectors or gently caress off difficulty

It's a lousy gameplay mechanic but the game needs items worth farming for, the HM stuff seems like a step in the right direction but those as well as the promotion badges seem like afterthoughts. Even if it was a bunch of materials to craft a seal or something it might add a few more carrots to keep people playing the game

I don't want challenges that expect 3 +10 Hectors.

Edit: I mean any decent red would destroy that team but still.

This game isn't really built for high difficulty anyway. It's really hard to design difficult stuff that isn't just "Do you have X unit with Y stats?" check since the team and map sizes are so small.

I think grand hero battles are anout right with difficulty. They take a day or two, but if youre short on tools to tackle them you can usually raise them up just in time to finish them

Let's see what if anything comes out of the survival mode. Multiple maps in row with limited units, maybe force unit changes between maps anyway? Would require you to build several working teams. There's definitely room to explore if they want to.

If you have the tools the two fights take three minutes combined. Why not have more difficulty levels? Just need to watch out for the rich getting richer thing so have them reward something nice but not necessary.

How the gently caress did you level a Robin from 1-40 in 18 minutes?

This game lacks upward progression at the moment. There's nothing (worthwhile) in the game that can't be beaten after a couple of days play and 4 level 40 characters.

Our teambuilding adventures are largely just a masturbatory exercise for use in an arena that provides us with more lube.

I would be happy to junk everything I have and reroll tomorrow if a banner with characters I liked came out, and for as many hours as I've put into it that's kind of sad. I've not built x so I could get y which allows me to do z which meant I could farm f to create x+1 which opened up #a*. I've just got Reinhardt, now and forever God King of the universe (I've not even given him good skills).

Yeah. I already had a Robin and Navarre leveled up in case I wanted to use them as bonus units (I pretty much always level up the GHB units in advance because of that). Took me till this morning (no stamina refills) to beat all the chapter 10 quests. I'd like more content, but I haven't put a cent into this game so I can't complain. I don't really mess with arena though. I just try to get a 4000 score, and don't care about any characters that die.

Edit: I will say skill inheritance has given me a lot more to play around with though, and I really enjoy it. Still haven't gotten an Barst or Eliwood though, who I'd like to mulch for skills (and I'd want two before I mulch though).

Hmmm I dunno, I think a horde mode could be cool, or gauntlet style maps. There's definitely ways to spice the game up.

Today I realized even though I've pulled 7-8 natural 5 stars, including 2 hectors. I've never pulled any rarity of Nino, ever. Which I suppose is why I've never really seen the hype of full buff teams.

She's not as good as she was before, but there's probably decent stuff/builds that you can do with her, so use her if you like her.

Idk, Fury 3/Life and Death were a pretty big deal for her and she's one of the best Moonbow users in the game

I've been playing since day one and have also never pulled a Nino.

Instead I have countless Berukas.

I will always have a soft spot for Tharja since she was the first character I 5'd and fully skilled out. But when I was bored one week I leveled up a 4* Nino, and honestly she seems better at 4* and Tharja does at 5*. She just covers the meta so much better, where Tharja always has to struggle vs endless blue mages. The few red opponents that Nino might struggle with are easy to handle with any of the massively good blues you can put on your team to cover the weakness.

I recently 5*'d my Nino, my murder daughter is perfect. She's the only useful green unit besides maybe Anna I have. Got a 5* Fae too, but screw trying to bring her into arena.

Julia can murk dragons without eating counters, which makes her better than Chrom and fury-less Marth in that regard, but being anti--dragon without being gimped if they have any level of swordbreaker is the best part about her I'd guess.

The best part is when she hits 99 damage on a No'wi or Ninian, IMHO

Also I accidentally threw away my Florina that has been filling space on my team, so I guess it's time to figure out who to toss in her place. Probably a Blue to keep my team balanced. I was training up my Sharena but I'm hesitant to field a full team of Infantry. I did pull some Effie recently but I'd probably need to slot a movement skill on Julia to help get her around . . .

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
Dodged two 690+ Reinhardt teams for my last game in my arena run. Third one offered was a 688 Olwen and I just went with it.

Turns out that was Olwen, Cecilia, Eldigan... and Reinhardt, because of course. Full set of cavalry buffs, all heavily merged, Olwen with Blarblade and Cecilia with Gronnblade. (Cecilia hilariously had Close Counter for some reason.)

If I hadn't lucked out with the forest map, I doubt I could have done that one deathless. Finished the run at 4790. Hopefully that's enough to keep me in the 5k-10k bracket.

I've dunked the rest of my orbs to try to get Ike, because I've come to realize I don't fully care about the game that much to economise my orbs anymore and just got for characters I actually know about.

100 down the drain. 5 more Hinatas.

Well. I guess that's the price with gatchas. Also my two Reinharts earlier.
