So my current team is:

Lucina 5*
Lyn 5*
Robin 5*
Kagero 5*

Benched: Sakura 4*, Maria 4* & Camilla 4*

I'm not sure if I should promote Sakura, Maria or Camilla. I feel as though a 5* healer won't help me any more than a 4* would, since their healing abilities will be the same, so Sakura and Maria seem less than worthy of the promotion.

That said, I'm not sure 5* Camilla would be a stellar replacement for Kagero, either, as that limits my ranged attacking abilities to Robin alone. That said, with Camilla, I'd have all 4 type advantages in my party, which is nice!

Any advice would be much appreciated!

What monetary investment level makes you whale tier?

 

[Cerium]

What monetary investment level makes you whale tier?

Four digits minimum.

 

[Sölf]

What monetary investment level makes you whale tier?

Try at least triple digits, but probably 3-4 digits... xD

 

[Gotchaye]

Nowi is surprisingly hard to deal with even with a Falchion-user. She can take the first hit and she's going to do a lot of damage back. Surprisingly good defense pick, though I haven't seen Corrin to compare to.

 

[Scum]

What monetary investment level makes you whale tier?

How much have you spent, kswiston?

 

[NSESN]

My lv 19 Lucina already has 35 atk, it's so good to finally have a good red unit

Nowi has multi-distance counters, so she is better for defense I think. I can kill F Corrin pretty easily with Chrom, since one of my ranged units can soften her up first without almost being killed.

Lucina 5*
Lyn 5*

I think that your current team is good, and while it probably seems counter intuitive, I would bench one of your swordswomen over Kagero if you really needed a healer. Probably Lyn if we are talking about Arena. Kagero is less useful in PVE due to more calvery and armor units.

 

[kswiston]

How much have you spent, kswiston?

I'm not whale tier, but I spend some money. I did the $6 pack once and whatever the pack after that costs ($12?) once. The first to pull. The second because I was impatient to upgrade my castle to speed up the grind.

I'm done until March. I'll be able to pull 2-3x on the next banner sets for free. I have barely touched the last difficulty in story mode, so that is potentially 40 stones. That will have to do!

I think I am over the initial pull rush. Until there are more blue options, I would just be wasting money.

 

[Fireblend]

Done with Hard Mode, just Lunatic left.

Team: Robin (M), Roy, Peri, Camilla
All 5-stars.

4* Marth, Selena, Lilina and Setsuna are on my bench.

Roy and Peri aren't the best units, but I've managed to clear most missions with them.
I wonder if I should replace 5* Roy with any of my 4* benched reds. Any thoughts?

You're barely a sea bass.

 

[Whiteblade999]

Was going to stop playing. Then I pulled a Lucina (favorite unit from Awakening) and Marth in one round.

Right now my team is Lucina 5, Gunther 4, Catria 4, and Lilina 5. I don't know what the 'optimal' teams are, but I'm just keeping my series tradition of keeping one of every type of unit I can in the roster for max versatility.

 

[Venfayth]

I think I'm a fat tuna.

 

[Qurupeke]

Lilina has ridiculous high attack.

That Nintendo data collection at work.

 

[Achtius]

My Robin have -def /+res, I guess he's not countering takumi

 

[Nudull]

Game has been very generous with Orbs so far, so I'm okay.

Overwatch, on the other hand...

 

[kswiston]

My Robin have -def /+res, I guess he's not countering takumi

What level is he? Takumi cant one shot Robin. Possibly not even with his special attack charged, but I dont pay enough attention to say for sure.

 

[PsionBolt]

Lilina has ridiculous high attack.

As she always has! You'd think Lilina would be top-tier in a game that gets rid of Skill and Con -- too bad her Speed and Def are just as bad as FE6.

 

[Cerium]

I wonder if Nintendo is angling to make Fire Emblem an annual franchise.

Mainline in even years, Echoes remakes in odd years.

That way there will also be constant fresh material for Heroes. An infinite feedback loop that generates money.

wow, youve got lyn and lucina huh?

Spoiler

fuck you

 

[Kouriozan]

At worst there will be special collaborations like Tokyo Mirage Sessions or Zelda (one can dream <3)

 

[Shun]

337? Is that the highest on GAF?

You are Fire Emblem King.

I don't know.

I know I got really lucky getting multiple Hectors in a row for undefeated wins.

There's like 3 days left and I think real whales will overtake me back to the 1,000s.

You can get a higher score than me if you have more than the 2 focus characters I'm using on my team.

My defense team is basically the same thing, just replace Tiki with a second Ryoma.

 

[Ketch]

She's just decent. Heavy spear is nice, but she's too slow and too fragile on enemy phase. Pairing her with Lyn is a bit of fun because they sort of complement each other but she's nothing special.

Maybe I should just swap her for a real healer then. I have 4* Sakura close to the same level

 

[MANUELF]

How can I know my units nature?

If they can handle it. IntSys isn't the best with releasing things on a timely schedule, and this game will already push them with that.

If they don't do major advertising in the train stations, city, or on the internet and television, they need to use their games as cross promo.

I'd rather have them give us a real quality game instead of pushing it year on year.

The super famicom Jugdral games are special and deserve a real polished remake and not something to meet expectations at the end of each fiscal year.

Use this.

 

[jwhit28]

Right now, i only seem to have 2 focus screens for summon, legendary and deep. Was just curious if more screens with heroes show up as you progress.

No, all the heroes that are in the game are in from the beginning. The characters on the banner are Focus characters which means you have twice the chance of them being pulled. The banners will change periodically to promote different/new characters.

I almost hope no, because I am about to get backlogged on Fire Emblem. I am still only a campaign and a half through Fates, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions remains unopened.

Every 18 months would be better.

 

[Achtius]

What level is he? Takumi cant one shot Robin. Possibly not even with his special attack charged, but I dont pay enough attention to say for sure.

39. i'll try next time in arena. I got good heroes rolls but horrible nature lol.

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks like my Takumi is +ATK/-SPD, hmm.

 

[clay_ghost]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions should be unavoidable since it is a FE spinoff.

 

[Chindogg]

I'm not sure how much more I can improve my team outside of Hector but here's my team:

5* Ryoma
5* Tiki
5* Merric
5* Takumi

All shiny.

If I ever get Hector, should I replace Tiki with him?

 

[Kouriozan]

If they are smart, next focus will have Hector in it "get him while he's hot!"

 

[fek]

Up to 73 orbs saved and still have a good amount of lunatic stages to do. Probably gonna keep saving until there's some content I can't beat but for now it seems that 4* units are more than enough to fill my team for non-arena content.

 

[chrono01]

Next banner will likely be the voting one (unless they decide to give away the winners for free in an event, but I doubt that). Beyond that though, I definitely suspect Hector/Azura/Linde to be featured.

Same here.

I'm up to 81 orbs, but only two 5* (the Takumi/Young Tiki I re-rolled for). I have Fae at 4*, who I may/may not promote to 5*, and a 3* Serra (healer). Also leveling Anna while I wait.

Arena can be...random, but I'm not going to stress too much over it. I have a feeling the next batch of characters will be even better than the current, aside from a few exceptions.

 

[Moaradin]

Should I replace my 3* Saizo with this 3* Niles? Saizo seems like dead weight on my team. He barely does any damage and gets killed really easy.

My team:

Saizo:

Niles:

 

[lt519]

Wish you could see more defensive stats, killing it. Just got Robin to level 40, low HP is the only issue, haven't seen many with better other stats though.

 

[Shun]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions should be unavoidable since it is a FE spinoff.

They really should so we can have toi8 do art for it and have really cool and unique versions of some of the characters.

In Fire Emblem Cipher they did a cross promotion for the game, but most of the cards were the carnage forms rather than the Fire Emblem character themselves.

 

[MANUELF]

That only works for 5* level 1?

 

[MANUELF]

My level 33 Robin 5* has 38 HP, 37 ATK, 28 DEF, 19 SPD and 20 RES....

 

[Kouriozan]

If you character is level 40, you try all the options to see which level 1 stats it had.

 

[Hazu]

Oh well, I'm already starting to lose interest in this game. Getting two orbs a day just isn't enough for me.

Stuck in every single difficulty at the moment (my team is 32-31-26-26) and leveling just takes forever.

Tier list says Saizo is better : http://feheroes.wiki/Tier_List
Personal preference would be Saizo, too.

 

[Cerium]

I just realized that when the poll winner version of Lyn comes out I might end up spending an awful lot of money on orbs.

 

[Achtius]

Your Robin have -hp/+spe

Isn't that for 4* Saizo though?

 

[kswiston]

Your Robin have -hp/+spe

Probably the best combo.

 

[lt519]

Your Robin have -hp/+spe

That preferable? I'm guessing not.

Probably the best combo.

Ooh, I do get a lot of double attacks, meaning the bonus damage procs a lot. It's how I deal with Takumi in PvP, hit him with the extra damage for a one shot.

My level 33 Robin 5* has 38 HP, 37 ATK, 28 DEF, 19 SPD and 20 RES....

Could turn into a tank if you get some good levels from here out.

 

[Kouriozan]

Isn't that for 4* Saizo though?

Loking at skills they learn at 3*, Saizo is still better with guaranted 7 damages and def/res debuff.
