cheetah7071 posted:Free to play games tend to fund themselves on the 80/20 principle where 80% of the money comes from 20% of the consumers (except it's more like the 99/1 rule where 99% of the income comes from 1% of the users). Rather than try to make a game that everyone will spend a few dollars on, they try to make a game that a few people will spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on. Such people are sometimes referred to as "whales" Oh wow. I never heard this term. That's interesting! I am not very familiar with gacha games in general. I hope Heroes is more like Nintendo's previous F2P offerings and that it'll be fairly easy to play the game without spending a lot of money. Especially if you have other poo poo to play.

Well, Ike was still pretty young at the end of PoR, wasn't he? In the intervening time, he probably filled out a bit, maybe worked out, and fully matured.

Woo I was finally able to download this and it even works on my old-rear end phone!  I don't care about re-rolling poo poo. Apparently in my starting roster I have an awful 2* Matthew and Raigh. Then I went to summon, which I only kinda sort know how that works? I don't know how to take a screenshot either but I got 3* Niles, 4* Nino, and three motherfucking Donnels! 1 3* and 2 4*. So... yeah.

Finally got my second gacha pull (yes, I know I'm slow, shut up): Still no healer, but that Abel tears poo poo up! Also that's my second Niles, albeit with more starts than the last one so I replaced the one I was using.

Yeah, I'd say. Lyn I hear is ridiculous (can't vouch personally as I don't have her), and Camilla is solid and has a Brave Axe I think? Plus you have Best Girl Marcia. I'd keep 'em.

EPIC fat guy vids posted:I'm up to 7 penta pulls and not a second 5* yet - seriously this is one of the worst gacha rates I've ever seen alongside Fate Grand Order. Sorry, man. You're just getting massively unlucky. I got a 5* on my second pull. You're pulling from the same banner, right? The rate of getting a 5* should increase every time you don't get one, as long as you're pulling from the same selection.

Nephzinho posted:So is everyone just burning all of their points from My Nintendo on stamina potions? The crystal/shard rates seem kind of poo poo, the dueling crests are pretty worthless seeing as you only get rewarded for your best score, and the Light's Blessing is a limited release that may be potentially useful on Lunatic content down the road. I have yet to run afoul of stamina. But I've just been logging in every day, collecting my daily orbs, playing a couple maps, and that's it, so I'm probably not a typical user. I wish you could get orbs from My Nintendo coins. I wanna get more friends. I've only done two pulls, though I did get a 5* out of the second one- Abel. He's doing pretty well. He and 4* Nino are tearing poo poo up with little help from anyone else.

Just got my 10,000 feathers this morning. Would it be a horrible idea to burn them on that 1* Lissa I picked up from the daily special map a couple days ago so I can have a decent healer? She's the only healer I have right now and who knows when I'll have enough Orbs to do the gacha again at the glacial pace I'm going (assuming I even get a healer then). Is Lissa a pretty good healer? Mind I am super duper casual about this game so I don't need the bestest of the best healer, just one who can do the job.

Ooh, ooh! I got a really nice pull just now: I was really hoping to get Eirika, and look! There she is!  That's my second 5*. My first was Abel.She's going right on my main team along with Abel and Nino. For my fourth... I don't really have anyone amazing. Olivia maybe? Got a 3* of her. I also have a bunch of healers: Maria, Sakura, and now Serra. Silver Falcon fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Feb 16, 2017 |

I've got a pretty good line-up now, I think. Suggestions are welcome, of course. Right now I'm thinking I'll make Nindo a 5* when I get enough feathers. She's been kicking all sorts of rear end and I think she deserves it. I have a 3* M Robin I can sub in to the last slot for Arena things for the extra points. I don't have any of the other recommended characters at anything approaching a decent level or * ranking, if I have them at all. I'm also thinking I shouldn't pull any more from the current banner. I have 5* Eirika, I have a good Lance user, and I don't really need another green Tome user.

cpaf posted:Honestly I'd start levelling Sharena to eventually replace Abel with her, as she can buff Nino, which is amazing. Nino is a character you can build a whole team around and Sharena is a very important part that everyone has access to. Durrr. This whole time I've been getting Sharena mixed up with Sheena, the axe general from Shadow Dragon. I was wondering why everyone was saying to use her.  I didn't even realize she'd joined my squad. That is how much of a dumb-dumb I am.Couldn't hurt to level her up, I guess. Not sure about replacing Abel with her. Abel has been cleaning house with Swordbreaker and that Brave Lance of his. Still going with my plan of upgrading Nino to 5* once I get 20k feathers. Sharena will get upgraded next, then perhaps Anna.

Clarste posted:People probably aren't going to be using the Nino team on defense. You can't force the AI to make good use of buffs, although I guess they might be generally unpredictable and annoying about it. My Nino team is on defense... because that's my best team. It's also the team I use for offense. I'm really glad of that 5* Eirika I got from my last pull right about now. I barely did the Arena at all last cycle because I didn't have ANY of the bonus characters decently starred or levelled. Or at all. It's Nino and Eirika's time to shine!

Woo, for once I managed to beat a special map! Narcian's map just wrecked me even on normal, but normal F-Robin was no problem. Nino killed like half the dudes herself. The new banner is not wowing me. Guess I'll save my orbs. It feels weird to have orbs and not summon with them. I'm sitting on ~40 now. I'm doing OK-ish in the Arena. My favorite are teams that have 2 or more sword lords on them. Abel eats them for breakfast. My main sticking point now is I realize I will need a bunch of green badges to eventually promote Nino. I don't have a good way to get them other than grinding the training tower. I'm up to... 5? I need 20. I don't have anywhere near enough feathers yet anyway so it's kind of moot, but still. Ugh. Slow. To clarify I know there are a couple quests that give green badges for a reward, but I don't have anywhere near the capabilities to clear them.

Bogart posted:So the Masked Man is 100% Zacharias, right? God, the story is so bad. 100% no way he isn't. I called that he'd show up as soon as Alphonse and Sharena started talking about him. "Oh, a long-lost companion. No way he's not showing up at the end of the game as an enemy. No way no how." The story is bad and it ends kind of abruptly, doesn't it? Feels like there should be one more chapter. Maybe they'll release more later.

What does having a +5 or +10 Takumi mean? Takumi fucks me up big time in the Arena. If I can't one-round him with Abel he just tears me apart.

Roger Explosion posted:Nino is apparently in the next banner. If you plan on pulling from it, wait and see if you get her. If not, +Spd/-Res is your best option there. Anything -Spd that isn't a Wary Fighter goes straight to the feather factory. Today is green badge day so I'm trying to grind out the last few Great Verdant Badges I need to promote my Nino. I'm a bit torn, though. I already have a 4* Nino trained up (she's +Atk -HP; I checked), but with the new banner coming I sure would feel foolish if I rolled a 5* Nino from that. Or even a 4* with a better nature. (gently caress ya'll for calling them IVs! That is not what IVs are. They're clearly natures!)

Agoat posted:I want the true FE experience. I love a challenge and I've played a few tactics games partially. Heroes is fun but I hate how easy it is right now. Even the devs admit they reset when a unit dies. That's the "true" FE experience. Echoing the idea to play on Casual and still reset if anyone dies. Casual mode is so much less stressful than Classic. I can't go back to permadeath.

Finally got my Nino up to 5*. Looking forward to wrecking things in the Arena with her once I get her caught back up. She had enough SP saved up to buy both her 5* skills right away. Next to promote will be Olivia to 4*, and then Sharena and Anna... whenever I get enough feathers, that is.

Andrast posted:Blue is the hardest color for people to deal with in the arena thanks to the abundance of sword lords and the low number of good green units so having a good blue unit as a leader discourages people from picking you.  This did not occur to me. I've had Abel in my first slot since forever. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll try putting Eirika in my first slot instead and see if I get more defense points.Oh, and my Nino continues to wreck all the poo poo. So glad I promoted her to 5*. Next project is to promote Sharena, I guess, to be Nino's new best friend. But I would really miss Abel if I did that.

The hero battle seems neat. I will proudly back Team Lucina, because she's the best! I had some orbs to burn, so I pulled from the new banners. I got a 5* Leo and Raven, so... that's something?

I also got a 4* Nino from the banner, but she's +speed -atk. The one I already have, who I already feathered up to 5* is +atk -HP, probably better. (Plus I already spent the feathers so screw that!)

Woo, just got my first unit to level 40! It's my 5* Abel. Now I can finally check what his stats are... He is +atk and -speed. That... seems pretty good for a Brave weapon user? I guess now I can start working on that Nino-focused team in earnest. I already have Olivia and Sharena at 4*, and a 5* Eirika. I may or may not use that +speed -atk Nino I pulled earlier today. I just don't relish having to grind for the feathers to promote yet another of the same unit. I'll be using Olivia instead of Azura because: 1)I don't even have Azura. 2) I hate her and wouldn't use her if I did have her.

fairlight posted:Why are team Lucina people leaving Lucina in slot 1 of their defense team anyway? Put a good non-red in there ffs All right, just for you I put Nino in my first slot. I had Abel in there for the longest time, but that seemed to discourage people from challenging me in the Arena, so I had Eirika in there for awhile. Having Nino in that slot works fine too, whatever. Abel has been chewing up the opposition for Team Lucina, btw. So many sword dudes. It's like an Abel buffet.

I have Nino as the leader in squad 1 and in Squad 2 I have Abel in the first slot to chew up all the sword people. Victory for Team Lucina!

Electric Phantasm posted:How do you deal with Takumi? Are there non-Hector ways? My Abel can smash his face, sometimes. Sometimes he doesn't do enough damage on the two Brave Lance hits and gets creamed. With buffs from Eirika and Olivia, my Nino can one-shot him sometimes! So... basically you gotta one-shot him if you can't survive the counterattack. Brave Weapons are your friend for that.

I finally cleared the Lunatic Ursula map. It took waaaaay too many tries with various setups before I finally managed it. I initially attempted it with a variation of that video that keeps getting posted, with Nino for a green tome user, and Abel standing in for Subaki. But Abel wasn't tanky enough so I needed a healer... but I also needed Eirika to buff Nino or she couldn't kill Ursula on the counterattack, which left no room for Olivia. So I finally decided gently caress it, dumped the healer, and went with my usual squad of Olivia, Abel, Eirika, and Nino. I took a super aggressive approach. Nino counterered Ursula to death on the first enemy phase. Second turn I pull Nino back to that corner next to the armor knight and had Abel charge right in and murder the sword cav. Next enemy phase Abel took it in the chin from the ninjas, Nino took pot-shots at that armor knight, and then Olivia danced for her to finish him off. Then Abel charged in and ganked the right-hand Ninja. Next turn Abel took more hits from the other ninja, but thanks to Aegis, he survived. Then he charged in and ganked the other ninja. That map is such bullshit. I'm also doing horribly in the Arena this week because I don't have any of the featured characters. I'm sitting at... whatever the fourth score bracket is from the top. On the plus side I've had four successful defenses! I think that's a new record.

Amateur Saboteur posted:Footprints in the sand I hate you so much right now. I would love Ninian for my Nino team. I currently have Olivia, but she's kind of boring and I hate Azura (so I wouldn't use her even if I did have her). Ninian is a cool dragon lady and I like her. I scaped together enough orbs to do 3 pulls on the banner. First pull had 3 blue stones so yay! I got Odin, Sully, and Est. All 3*. RIP. My other pull, powered by the 20 free orbs from Twitter or whatever got me a 4* Reinhardt, so that's something. He'll help my Arena score, at least. But still. I wanted Ninian. I am seriously contemplating spending actual money to get her. Help.

Jenny Angel posted:Unless it'd be too much of a derail, why do folks hate Azura? Is she really dumb to fight against in this game, or more dumb on a character level in her own game? The impression I've gotten is that Fates isn''t really the narrative peak of the series, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that Going into detail would definitely be derail territory, but it's entirely because of the way she's written in Fates. No one is terribly well-written in Fates, to be fair, and the story is a hot mess, but Azura comes off as especially bad. She just rubs me the wrong way.

So... skill inheritance. Help, I have no idea what skills to give whom. My usual squad is Abel, Eirika, Nino, and Olivia. I'm training up Sharena (plan to eventually make her 5*) and I'm going to try to get Ninian with those Training Tower orb quests. I tried doing a couple pulls today but twice the gacha didn't give me any blue orbs and I wound up with a loving 5* Rebecca for my trouble. BAH. Can I mulch Rebecca for anything useful? Anyway, skills. I actually have two Ninos. One is 5* with -HP/+Atk and the other is 4* with -Atk/+Spd. I read Fury is good for Nino and some manner of proc skill? What about the others? I was thinking maybe putting a Rally skill on Eirika to buff Nino further. She already does speed and some attack from her sword. Sharena does Defense, so perhaps Eirika could have Rally Resistance? That way I wouldn't need Azura ever. Oh, Eirika is -HP/+Speed and Abel is -Speed/+Atk, if that helps.

I am contemplating give Sharena a Brave Lance and Swordbreaker to make her a not-mounted Abel. Abel has been a mainstay on my squad since forever and eats sword lords for breakfast, but he doesn't buff Nino while Sharena does. Maybe she can do his job. Still haven't decided what skills to give my Nino. Folks are saying Fury and Desperation works well for her? For buffing partners, I have her best buddy Eirika, Sharena of course, and Olivia. Maybe I could give Eirika Rally Resistance for maximum buff levels. Haven't managed to get Ninian yet. The gacha has not been kind. Today it gave me a colorless orb and FOUR reds.
