Surge135 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I went probably 4 months of not doing Arenas and just claiming Arena Defense rewards and only just went in again. Sat at Tier 17 this whole time. Quote Link to comment

Elemental Hero Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Still, all that considered FEH still treats its (very spoiled) fans quite well compared to the rest of the genre. My other experiences are Duel Links (horrendous UI, moneygrabbing powercreep galore) and Battle Cats (MEGA grind to eternity and back, pull like once a month). FEH's made a business model off abusing whales, but for everyone else at least it lets us play the game mostly the way we want it. I've got some 80 golds untouched because of bad banes, characters I personally dislike, or skills that are too valuable to confidently inherit, but I've still got upwards of 50 units that are really enjoyable to clear every bit of content with.

Stephen 776 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) All hail your new bara lord: Spoiler An update hit within the hour for some reason, and presumably the Halloween units are in it. This is also the artwork of Dorcas. Edit: Full art of Dorcas: https://imgur.com/a/Nhx1vS7 Edit 2: He's apparently a green armor. Edited October 9, 2018 by Arvis Quote Link to comment

Elemental Hero Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Generic freakishly muscular brute with surgically removed nipples. Yawn. He does have Sturdy Stance, though--L-Ephraim's Atk/Def booster. The only scandal here is Halloween Niles's spread. The armored version of Niles has 29 resistance--that's significantly lower than the infantry. Seriously? And then they jack his defense up. And of course all the other armored units are min/maxed. I'm way too bothered by this. This character isn't Niles--it's just a bad clone of Valentine's Lyn with Niles's face slapped on. Quote Link to comment

Haven't run into that many issues with Duel Links yet. I mainly just play for the shits and giggles though. Re-learning how to play Yu-Gi-Oh. As for FEH... holy crap... been running into so many pity draws lately that it's not funny, along with a lot of crap. Still haven't drawn who I've been trying to draw for yet. So it's definitely aimed at whales. That said, I appreciate that it lets us play the game for the most part like we want to. Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I lucked out and got all three Muspell generals dirt cheap. But the sword sisters are both +res/-def which gives the flier no niche and the infantry almost none. Helbindi, then, is of course -atk/+spd but he's for inheritance anyway. So now I'm wondering if Axura is totally worth the arena pick over Inigo. He can poke at range and help counter Lyn & Rein, and her +3 buffs aren't as relevant when other buff skills are making such a comeback. And my Inigo has two merges. Bleh. Even with Duel, my Axura isn't cresting 700 without an active blessing. Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just tested out the lighter version of FEH. It's running really good so far. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Here's a question for everyone Since the debut of certain child characters from Awakening and Fates have 'official' (questionable since it's not exactly Intelligent System's artists) artwork for Heroes signaling certain pairings based on hair color, have you considered these pairing to be canon or would you think these more of the artists' preference?

I know that for Awakening, anyway, the hair colors match the ones that they're depicted with in the official Knights of Ylisse artbook. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 The artists never get to decide that. They're always given specific directions from Intelligent Systems as to how they should be drawn. In other words they do have default colors. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I guess I'm just curious what canon pairings IS has for Fates characters since I have a Revelations play through I just started and wanna go with the canon pairings because I'm lazy like that. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just refer to FE Cipher because they're all already there. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Oh maaaan... was sniping colorless for Halloween Mia and got a circle without any colorless, so I pulled the red and got 'pitybroken' at 3.25%... ...by a +Res/-Atk Halloween Myrrh Edited October 10, 2018 by Surge135 Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking about how much healthier this game would be if Quick Riposte had never been created. We've been stuck in the armor meta for almost a full year now. We keep getting more min/maxed tanks guaranteed to attack twice no matter who initiates, and even though other units' aggressive potentials have shot through the roof they still aren't enough. And the source of all of this is Quick Riposte's precedent of eliminating the speed check. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I mean, I use Quick Riposte seal on my LIke, but with a +4 Spd buff from Hone Spd on BIke or the spectrum buff from BVeronica he hits 40 Spd. Therefore I don't necessarily need QR3 but it's nice to have especially with the emergence of Special Fighter, Guard showing up a bit more, and these new Halloween weapons that slow the special charge so I can still get my Radiant Aether off in key matchups.

Stephen 776 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Honestly, I'm glad Quick Riposte is in the game. I've been using my Quan since I summoned him but I don't know if he could do half what he does without QR3. And, yeah, bold fighter is perhaps too good a skill, but armors are often too inflexible a class that they really *really* needed some support. Was bold fighter and armor march too much? Maybe, but I'm also imagining tackling ingame armor quests without those skills :S That said, I'd rather IS not default to armors just because they're good, especially when a big reason armors are good is because their BST works well in the very very broken arena.

Ephraim Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 QR is a 100% fine skill on its own lol It should never have been a seal though... and Fighter skills certainly should never ever have existed either, they are absurd. Quote Link to comment
