Chrom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Heroic Grails are great conceptually but I'm not a fan of the fact that they aren't really a permanent solution in the long term. There's a limit imposed on how many you can summon and once you hit that you would have to rely on future events for any more (which is probably the point, but still). But at least you can +10 anyone you wish at your own pace now. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 They give you enough for one +10 merge, plus ten extra copies for foddering off skills. Quote Link to comment

I feel like that's what it's supposed to be for, as well as accounting for whatever skill inheritance you want to mess with down the line. The 20-hero limit is kind of dumb, but I don't see myself needing even that many Lyons. I take more of an issue with IS adding more resources to grind for in general. It's a manipulative way to elongate a game that is best enjoyed in short bursts. It's not even like these characters are locked behind a paywall since they're impossible to summon normally, so I don't know why they don't just run another series of Grand Hero Battles with those characters.

Chrom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just an idea, but I'd be more okay with the 20 summon limit through Heroic Grails if they actually refreshed it once a year or something. I think that would make it much more tolerable. I just don't like the thought that if I use the feature long enough, I won't be able to summon who I want anymore. Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah, I've taken one look at the Heroic Grails system and thought... well, it's still limited. I can now have 25 Saises, but I still can't fodder any for Speed Ploy because I need to save all of these potions for any potential secret final bosses... Gah, this mindset is unbreakable. But like @Chrom says, there's nothing preventing IS from resetting or increasing the quota, as they've done with Hero Merit. My second thought is that my ultra-optimal debuff tank Leon is now inferior to NY-Corrin, which is upsetting. But at least Corrin would take much longer to build, and I prefer Leon as a character. I'm learning to put more value on fun. I made a reroll account that got bad summons, but it got an excellent Owain and Kliff, so I kept them. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was thinking about getting a bunch of Garons to feed Breath of Blight to my Manaketes, but then realized that it's not inheritable. Quote Link to comment

Stephen 776 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Long term, I hope they do something with the 20 free hero summon cap, such as refresh it, remove it entirely, or periodically increase it a la HM. But for now, I'm still more giddy since the fact I can feasibly +10 GHB and TT units opens up so many doors. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 R.I.P. Blessed Gardens. Quote Link to comment
Elemental Hero Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 26 minutes ago, Tyranogre said: R.I.P. Blessed Gardens. I stayed up late to assign a ton of blessings and grind that for orbs before losing my 4% pity rate on Brave Redux... Just another handful of jank summons. I'd be getting just as much use out of my orbs if I took them out back and torched them. Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Got Mikoto, and have 125 orbs to spare... Till the next banner! Quote Link to comment

But given they're about to be four battles soon they might as well be dead. Edited November 10, 2018 by Arvis Quote Link to comment
Carl321 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Got the new Camilla! -atk +spd. Guess she'd make a good Blade tome Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Igneous42 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I lied to all of you and spent money to get the new Camilla. Of course she's -atk/+def which may be about the worst combo you can get, but I'm still glad I got her. Fortunetly she has good enough Attack that even with a bane it's not gonna hurt her too much. Even with -Atk she actually still has more Atk than a neutral Summer Camilla. When you add the +3 from the tome and flier buffs she'll be able to manage just fine. Gonna stick with a pretty vanilla build with her for now. Of course, like @Carl321 said, if it does feel like she's struggling I can just throw a bladetome on her. It is amusing though, with Adrift Camilla I realized 4 of the 5 variants had -Atk for my first pull of them. The only one that didn't was Spring Camilla. So I guess that's just my life lol.

Elemental Hero Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 From start to finish these Tap Battles are even worse than usual. I'm convinced the stages are generated by a sloppy algorithm rather than an actual developer. I need to stop thinking that we're ever going to get a playable Tap Battle set ever again. That was just a one-time fluke. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 We've got a new heroes banner coming on the 20th, which means we should be getting a video for it tonight. Curious what they are gonna put out in this one. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Trailer should be tomorrow since we've already past the time it would've been posted today if it were. Quote Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Video will be tomorrow. Video is roughly 26 hours (give or take an hour, I forget the exact number) before the banner launches (except in rare cases). To be a little more specific, daylight savings time started recently so whereas banners used to start at 12am PDT on day x, they now start at 11pm on day x-1. So even though the banner starts at the 20th at 11pm, if daylight savings time would simply not happen, the banner would have started on the 21st at 12am. In either case, the 26 hours before the banner is tomorrow evening, on the 19th. tl;dr: daylight savings time was a mistake. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Bleh, daylight savings time really fucks with my timing on this game... Quote Link to comment
