siggy2021 posted:I just started playing this and I have no clue what the gently caress you guys are even saying. Is there a good resource / primer to learn the ropes? I recommend using the various wikis for the game if you have any questions. If you just started this week and you haven't summoned any good 5* units or any units that you have a personal attachment to, then it may be worth it to delete your account and start the game all over to "reroll" for some of the top tier units. Orbs will eventually run out once you finish all of the story missions. If you want to be a casual player, then just do whatever you want. Many of the people here have been playing for months and compete in the arena, oftentimes playing against teams owned by "whales" or people that spend hundreds/thousands of dollars in the game. That's the main reason why you would want to optimize your team compositions and give them the best passive skills through skill inheritance. My personally favorite wiki: https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg

ungulateman posted:press the fancy 'advanced growth' button and 'unlock potential' button when anna and sharena reach level 20 Actually it's probably better to continue leveling past 20 at 3* & 4* to make sure you get enough SP for skill inheritance, especially since you can't merge these characters. Kind of kicking myself for promoting Anna early. The only other advice I wish I had followed is to not merge or send home characters until you get a good understanding of which skills and characters are worthwhile. If you're lost as to which characters to focus on, the wikis have "tier lists" that rank them against each other. Take those with a grain of salt, most characters can be made viable with skill inheritance if there's one you really enjoy. The gamepedia wiki also has a starter guide http://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Basics

I have a +Atk/-Def Hinoka but not enough good fliers to do Fire Emblem (I think, besides a -Atk/+Res Spring Camilla who is just awful). I leveled her up to 40 because I had nothing else to do with my stamina and only taught her Hone Fliers (but kept her equipped with Hone Speed 2 for now). She seems pretty decent and with proper skill inheritance she should be good even without flier buffs (though that may be a project for the far future). What do I give her? Draconic Aura, Draw Back/Reposition, A slot... Fury 3 or Death Blow and B slot ???????? I see a lot of people with Hit and Run or Drag Back in that slot for her and I'm not sure why

I wouldn't bother with Flier Emblem until some better flying units come out. Invest it in Horse Emblem or an infantry team built around ~blade tome users if you happen to have one of the incest siblings. Hell, I'm giving Armor Emblem a good go before Flier Emblem. On that note I've got me a 5* -SPD/+ATK Effie, a 5* Zephiel (who I am considering giving Distant Counter to), a 5* +ATK/-DEF Hector and, the runt of the litter: a 5* +HP/-ATK Sheena. Luckily, I have a 4* +ATK/-SPD Sheena that I completely forgot about, so there's my next promotion/merge. Pivot has been great and all, but I think I'll play around with swap as well, to keep them all bunched up for buffing.

Flier emblem is pretty fun if you have Bunny Camilla and Hinoka, otherwise it's definitely not worth it. A good red unit would be nice to have though.

Armor emblem always seemed weird to me because you need to sacrifice a hector or 2 to make it really good and even with fortify armor, I think their res is low enough that mages will still one-shot them a lot (at least all the merged armor emblem teams I see in arena get destroyed by mages) and even with pivot/reposition, they just never get to the enemy without leaving one of them open to a counterattack I do have a decent base for Horse Emblem, with a Xander, Elise, Reinhardt, and 3 different Cecilias to choose from

I have all the base components for Flier Emblem; Hinoka, BCamilla, Palla, and a Caeda to mulch for Fortify Fliers. Main problem is that Fliers find the green mages kinda tough and your only ranged unit (BCamilla) has pretty low Res, so baiting Reinhardt isn't always feasible unless you're gonna add Triangle Adept too. Reposition is a really good skill for Fliers, too. I still haven't managed to pull a Cherche either. I could just spend 20k feathers promoting Palla and then feed Caeda to Subaki though.

Well, all of these gimmick teams are worse than regular teams since they lack a dancer (and usually have worse arena score). I just consider them an exercise in team building.

Just do the Narcian killing himself on the hard GHB where he is slightly weaker. Remember to give him the atk seal and level him to ~33+ If you can't do the GHB with a dead weight bring an attack buffer and a Pain healer to 9-2.

Problem is leveling past 30 is like pulling teeth because he's incredibly lovely. Admittedly it was also because I hadn't yet bought the Emerald Axe but not unit should die that loving easily.

He is awful, but he has enough defense to kill blue units higher level than him without getting hurt. He definitely sucks though. I trained him with Azura and two healers (one with gravity and one with pain) just so he could one-shot other greens without getting a counterattack landing on him.

so I'm looking at starting the framework for an Armor Emblem team. Unfortunately, I do not have Hector or Zephiel, but here's what I do have handy: Sheena: 5* Neutral, 4* +HP-ATK,+SPD-HP Effie: 4* -HP+SPD, +DEF-ATK,-HP+RES Draug: 4* +DEF-RES, 3* -HP+DEF,-HP+SPD,Neutral, 2* unknown Gwendolyn: 3* Neutral, -HP+Res Hector would probably end up mulched into Effie anyway, so I'm wondering what my best set is here. I will obviously be getting Zephiel when he comes back, so if that's mandatory, that's fine, I'll just build a framework and wait for him to show up.

I don't really see a point in armor emblem without a Hector, preferably multiple so you can give distant counters to everyone.

Armor Emblem is really only worth it for people so invested in the game that building an entire expensive team in order to get sufficient arena points to maintain their rank is a worthwhile decision (because armored teams give higher scoring opponents due to higher base stat totals). You need a bare minimum of one Hector to use and another Hector to give either Effie or preferably Zephiel distant counter so you have another unit that can fight mages - Hector can manhandle Reinhardt and Linde just fine but struggles against Nino, Cecilia and especially Julia (let's not even mention the rarer red mages). Without distant counter you're resigned to slowly shuffling your units in the direction of the enemy team and your characters can't maintain all their buffs on each other. Given that you have a bunch of inheritance fodder and three mediocre 4* Effies, there's no point in making that leap. If you get super lucky and pull one or more Hectors, while also picking up Zephiel when they do his GHB again, you can come back and think about mulching some of those bad units into them for hone/fortify effects. There's really no reason to go crazy like this when an offensive dancer team like Olivia/Sharena/Cecilia can easily carry you to a solid Arena score for zero money and less investment otherwise.
