Were the fates games any good? This is a pretty unsatisfying FE experience tbh.

Story/character-wise? No.

Gameplay-wise? Conquest is amazing and Birthright is slightly better than awakening.

That's about as much lore as an FE game needs tbh. All that waifu garbage they added in the recent games can gently caress right off imho

Fire emblem would be a dead series without the waifu garbage

after my initial 5 pull, what should i spend my orbs on? i have 10 now. should i spend them on some more pulls?

Do you have a team you are happy with? If no, pull more. If yes, get the XP bonus castle upgrades.

A couple of things:

1) camilla is hot garbage. If you want her in this game, stop now. She's not good. And if she's your 'waifu' stop now because you'll be posting in 24h how the game is hard if she's your only 5*.


Camilla is in fact really good

How does balance usually work in these games? Like do developers nerf/buff over/underpowered stuff or will they just leave them be and release new things?

Can't you just make a new nintendo account and use that for the game?

This game is absolutely determined not to give me a usable blue unit or a non-mage red unit.

Level them to 40, work out which has the best stat spread (+Atk -Res maybe?) and then feed that one the other two.

I'd just like a single character that can deal with high resistance red units

That's basically any spear user. Nowi gets a -res aura so she's not terrible for it either I suppose.

I am aware. I just haven't gotten a single one. I do have three 5-star camillas though.

Saying that something is not worth bothering to invest in in a loving gacha game is really weird in the first place since it's not like people have much choice about what units they get unless they want to waste a ton of money.

Sure, I'd like to use Takumi and Hector but I don't have them so I'm going to use Camilla and Jeorge.

I still don't have anyone that can take a hit from one of the strong red physical attackers. Handling them is getting pretty tricky since I have to either kill them before they get an attack off or sacrifice someone.

At least I'm getting pretty good at tricking the AI to do the things I want it to do.

Hey game, could you please stop giving me these summons with 4 green slots. I already have 3 5-star camillas, I'm done with green at the moment.

Roland Jones posted:

Give me that, I still have fewer blue and green characters together than I do white characters on their own and none of them are that good. Best blue I have is Effie, who is a beast but also slow, and best green... I don't even know.

I have no usable blue characters at all which is pretty lovely. I'm thinking about leveling the event Subaki to 4-star just to have someone in that slot but I'm pretty iffy about having two flyers on my team.

I also have no good red melee-range units, which is really weird considering how saturated the game is with them. I have tons of red mages though.

I hate how the spur skills don't work with Tharja's damage buff. She would be insanely good on my team if they did (instead of just really good)

stay out of arena until your characters are 35+ or just be ready to lose a lot

arena's full of whales, most of the characters you run into are going to be 5* and maxed out. You're probably running into Takumis that are 7 or more levels above your Robin.

You don't have to pick the hardest difficulty fight every time

Andrast

Tharja synergizes really well with an upgraded shareena. If Tharja starts a turn next to a 4* Shareena she gets +11 to attack for the turn with rally attack.

I never was able to position her in a position to kill the archer without retaliation until the very last turn.

You can do it immediately before you even aggro the enemy. The archer is in range of a flyer going over the mountains.

Camilla will take a few hits after but should be able to tank them.

My Tiki/Gwen/Est/Merric team is pretty awful, though, and it's frustrating to even level those specific lance users past 30. I might just focusing on getting some of my better 2* and 3*s up to 4* and not worry that much about the lunatic quests for February.

Especially not interested in arena as I get closer to level cap. Kind of frustrating that feathers are tied to it, but I guess what do I really need to upgrade for if not that.

You really don't need a good team in the arena to earn feathers. Just pick the easy/medium fight and you'll do fine.

I got to 4.1k with a team of Fae (4* level 32), Takumi (level 39), Serra (4* level 39), and Olivia (3* level 30+1). You don't need to have 4 maxed out dudes if you are willing to abuse mobility and positioning.

Takumi + A dancer probably helps a lot though

I don't see what she gains that's worth beyind 3 stars. She gets dance, 11 mt weapon, and +3 atk buff.

Complete rear end for attack and sped growths, probably. I only occasionally saw the x4 actually come off. Peri's doing better as a replacement. She doubles everything and one of them almost always includes a Glimmer.

Christ, I must have pulled the runts of the Abel litter.

You really shouldn't worry about character performance until they are near 40 since the stats can wary a lot between units until max level. Your Abel just didn't get his attack/speed growths early.

That list is missing a ton of good units and includes units that are probably not worth upgrading to 5* since they get most of their utility at lower levels already (or are just bad).
