Cavalry banner, and I'm sick of my account.
Worth delete and reroll?
Edit: Spent the last of my orbs on my 4% banner, 4% 5* upgraded banner got nothing but another .25% on the banner. Account deleted...

40 orbs in on cavalry so far, need to sort out my barracks before I do any more pulls. Interesting results:
5* -spd +def Leo (his speed can't be unfucked anyways so probably a good bane)
4* -HP +def Eirika
never had either character before, and Leo is definitely interesting as I run two blade tomes already. Might give him a blade tome or leave his default tome on for an arena defense team.
Hope I see more green orbs soon. I need another Gunter or three. I got one Jagen out of these so far.
edit: next 20 got me a horde of Donnels and a 5* -spd +res Athena. Wo Dao+ could be very, very useful...but right now I dunno. No complaints but gimme some banner characters, dammit.
Still have many, many orbs from chain challenge left to earn so I can go pretty hard on this banner if I want. Now watch it be bait for Sacred Stones.

Fire Emblem Heroes made $115 million in 6 months, 11.7M downloads, now at $500K/day
I imagine most of you have seen the thread, but probably worth posting in here anyway.
I figured the game was successful, but this is more than I expected.

If it's making $500m a day, is that roughly the equivalent of selling over 10m copies of a FE 3DS game on a daily basis? Even with ongoing dev costs, that's an insane amount of money.
Yeah, saw that article earlier on reddit. Would be pleasantly surprised if those estimates are accurate. Sensor Tower is pretty reputable though, so I don't know.
The article is making 10M installs sound small (and it is small in mobile standard I suppose) but for a niche mobile game like Heroes, I still find it hard to believe. Like, you are saying millions of people are playing this stupid game with me regularly? No way in hell. I don't know a single person IRL that plays FE:H. lol
10 dollars per install sounds about right though, thanks whales and dolphins! Sucks that SMR couldn't do the same.
Now, with all that money, Echoes 2: Rebirth of Grannvale when?

You meant 500K and 10K.
Sorry, yes, my bad. Equivalent to 10k copies a day though, or 300k copies a month... it's going to end up generating more revenue than Fates and Awakening combined before long.
Way more of my friends downloaded FEHeroes than I expected (I expected zero). I think my SO and I are the only ones still playing, but I was pretty impressed with its reach.
Rerolls.
Exactly the case. Better indicator would be how many accounts log in per day.
Meanwhile I'm on my 6th 3* Gunter, and I somehow pulled another Camilla. 4* this time, but the first without a -ATK or -SPD bane. It's +HP/-RES.
Getting tempted to just promote that one and merge the rest.
well the reason I always need more Gunters and Jagens is that I like to run 2x Hone and 2x Fortify Cavalry. I wouldn't necessarily do that if I was running Olwen or Reinhardt, but I use blade tomes and it helps a lot.
Scrounged up a few more orbs and got a -HP +Def Reinhardt. Second one I've ever found and the previous was -atk, so he might be my next promote. Pretty happy about my results on this banner so far even if I have not found any banner units. And a lot of fucking Donnels.
I still have Hard Chapter 12 to do and all chain challenges so I'm not done yet.
Yeah I went for Xander after a couple GHBs in a row were made trivial by him, despite having a heavy sword cavalry already. My Eldigan is pretty cool even though he's a weird -atk +spd but it's nice having options.
I don't have anything against Goad/Ward, and with Berkut being useless otherwise I've got some Wards to hand out. But Goad is hard to come by and I'm not wasting any Camuses, as I plan to merge him eventually. I actually had to use Goad on Camus to beat the Alm/Celica GHB because Cecilia just needed that small speed boost.
I want to build two entirely separate and functional horse emblem teams to have a backup in Tempest Trial or Chain Challenge. I'm getting there, another green cavalry would be great but I'm at the mercy of RNG. I'd seriously consider giving Titania Distant Counter if I got a good one.
A surprisingly useful character I put together was my -atk +res Peri I got a while ago. I wrote her off at first but her speed, killer weapon and high Res makes Glacies pretty threatening. When buffed she can eat magic damage like a champ to charge her special and smack someone in the face. She's pulled her weight in Tempest Trial so far even though I was only bringing her to gain hero merit.

Oy. Guess I'm done trying to get a better natured Delthea (+def/-Atk). Just ended my pity counter with Mathilda (+Atk/-hp). As tempting as it may be to give her lance to someone like Effie, I think I'll keep her for challenges that are horse heavy. Her and Gray will make a good 1-2 punch against those scenarios.
Been mostly just logging in to collect the two orbs recently, so having to grind a little to get to 40k in TT.
8k left, I swapped to doing the Lunatic 5 since that takes me less time and is only ~100 pt difference per go. Probably should make it unless I get really bored of TT.

I don't run Cecilia, maybe I should, but Horse Emblem meets it match in the later chapter lunatic chain challenges. You can't just walk all over 10 levels of lunatic buffed enemies without a dedicated healer, etc.
are they substantially stronger than tempest trial enemies?
I suppose one saving grace is that the enemies don't change so you could plan ahead.
Good work!
Olwen can be set up to be pretty fast but Reinhardt's speed is 'gets doubled by Hector' tier. Reinhardt has some actual defense though.
Olwen is a blade tome user where you want to have plus speed nature..
Reinhardt uses dire thunder with death blow with a plus atk nature.
Reinhardt is much easier to make use of.
I have both but I find myself using Olwen a lot more. Rein just can't take a hit because everyone and everything doubles him. Sure, you can avoid many hits, but sometimes you can't. And, on offense, Olwen can wreck anything just like Rein can but she does require a bit more to kit her out. But worth it.
I haven't cleared those 10-fight luna challenges yet either. Infantry just gets boned by those super buffed enemies sooner or later.
Though I imagine you could do fine in Horse Emblem by swapping in Elise or something.
My current arena team is using a merged 4* Cecilia as the bonus unit, and it was rough going until I replaced Ryoma with Olivia. Dancer + caster is just too good to pass up, especially on these cramped maps.
Bad for arena score, though. Does Ryoma somehow have really good BST?
You can still use in the dire blow atk user, its just reinhardt does a better job of that.

Today in Arena:
It was hilarious watching them rush me. Each was 5*, level 40 (one was +1, another +2) and almost totally SI'd out. One of them was this guy:
He's the one that got my TA Cordelia. I messed up and didn't keep her away. The rest of my units survived, though.
Edit: Two of them had Distant Counter, too. Two Hectors died for this madness!

This is why you don't accept a pony lead unless you're prepared for ponies and also why emblem teams now try to hide them behind another unit.
I ran into a flier emblem and a pony emblem team yesterday that both hid behind a Sharena lead.
well it was my first match of the run and 694 points, I figured it was worth a shot. If it was anything but THAT map...
also there were +5s and +6s in there, I have no merges. Just silliness.

Got up to 3.75% on the Hone Atk banner so I did some quests to get some more. Pulled an Effie so at least I didn't come away empty-handed unlike some other banners.
Meanwhile my barracks is overflowing with Ests and Chroms.
The IV system needs a rework. 5* units are already so hard to come by and to add an additional layer of RNG is brutal. It's not like Pokemon where you can at least get around the randomness (plus also you can get unlimited eggs via breeding so with enough time you can get anything).
And I'm not too surprised by the amount of money this game is making. It wasn't easy for me getting up to 20k in Tempest, and even then there are 100k+ players with better scores than me.

Ground out the rest of my TT points by auto-battling the normal stage over and over with lvl 40s and a lvl 1 Alm that I was keeping around to see if anybody needed Windsweep later. Used up a couple of stamina potions but then saw I had platinum coins that were expiring so I just redeemed a bunch more.
I am now a proud owner of a Phantom Speed seal and two Tobins that I have no real use for. yay

yep yep, Anna, Ursula and Olivia were my go-to chars for that Infernal GHB. Promoting them ended up being worth it.

Huh. I was determined to try something different using S Tiki and Delthea up top but only one or the other could survive two rounds. If Delthea was specced to take a hit then the AI bow would take out Tiki with a 25 hit on the 25 hp she had left after wiping out Berkut round 1. Then reworking the numbers with Corrin M (+atk boost to Tiki enough, didn't need +6 from Delthea) and the Fortify Defense seal seemed likely enough to keep S Tiki in action after still wiping Berkut out. Alright, come at me AI....Fittingly, the next attempt then saw every enemy avoid them and go south. You sneaky little dastards.
Enough time spent on that lol, gonna get Ursula up to speed with Mae blue tome experience and try this. Or the Legion one.
But you know you want this, right?
I gotta make this. I'm pretty sure my 5* Olwen is +Spd, which is fine too it seems. Does Blade w/ Cavalry buffs or Quad Thunder w/ buffs kill more?
I guess that person's husbando is Laslow.
The golden rule of Arena is to always, always, always have a Reinhardt counter.
Either that or just surrender if you see a horse leader.papasmurf1038

Started summoning in hopes of sniping a Mathilda to help with the Berkut GHB, immediately got her on my first pull.
She's +Atk/-HP though, so I'm not really sure if I should keep her or fold her Ridersbane into Camus.

That's one of her best IV spreads IIRC, especially as you can fix that bane with a seal.

I tried quite a few different teams for Berkut Infernal, but I just don't have the SI / promotion resources that I need for my usual units right now... So I settled for beating it with the 4* GHB strategy that showed up on YouTube a few days ago. Usually I come up with my own strat or adapt one, but it just wasn't working this time.

Yeah I may just end up keeping her. I like her character a lot and Cancel Affinity might be useful someday.
