+spd is absolutely amazing and easily Robin's best stat boon. -HP is pretty dang great too, since you wouldn't want to lower any of his other stats.
It's not too bad honestly. Better then -atk, -def or -spd.

Robin still plays the animated intro if you pull him?

So once the arena season ends I'll finally have enough feathers to take rank up a 4*
Who should be the lucky guy or gal out of the ones I have?

I just pulled him so I guess so?
Yes, I got trolled by a 4 star Roy this way. I was so mad, then sad.

Yeh all the old banner characters still have their banner video. The new ones don't have videos which is lame
Wow, that's a huge difference in defense to my Level 41 Lyn. Mine has 30 Def but 35 Speed: Def Up, Speed down.
I can see yours is HP up, defense down.
Cool, sounds wise. Thanks bro.

I hope we can recruit the "Mysterious Man" in the next story update. I'd like to use a blue mage, and he's who I want.
Yeah, he should join at some point. However, he's a horseman so he will probably have below average stats which will limit his viability in the arena for sure.
Speaking of which, the oversimplified arena scoring mechanism really needs a well-thought-out revamp. I hope them can make the score sort of dynamic and inversely proportional to how popular (or in other words, how frequently they appear in the arena) your characters are. This will encourage people to explore and experiment with the less known characters. I mean, if you run a team of Hinata, Subaki, Arthur and Virion, and somehow manage to pull it off? Kudos to you, you ought to have a high score.
With this kind of inversely proportional feedback loop, over time the frequencies of characters appearing will more or less come to an equilibrium. And every time you enter the arena, you can expect to see a variety of characters. Seriously, I'm so tired of fighting the same Takumis and Robins and Lucinas over and over again.

I like Cavalry units, so this doesn't bother me. And assuming he's recruited via the story, his stats will be set, so no having to worry about bad IVs.
I'm working towards being able to solely use only characters I like from a design & personality perspective, and he'll fit in nicely. I'm not super fussed about having "the best" characters.

The release celebration maps.
New quests are pretty interesting; only done with a full team of one weapon (sword, axe, lance.)
Need advice on current lineup:
Takumi, Lyn (5-star)
Camilla, Olivia (4-star)
Good team, gets me through intermediate arena/pve just fine despite obvious problems (Lack of blue, Camilla.) Speaking of which, it's quite possibly the best line-up to accompany Camilla (why must you be best worst best unit) because of speed buffs/debuffs and Olivia giving Camilla another chance for a savage blow. I'd like another lineup for arena/defense, though, so not sure where to go from here. I could really easily replace Camilla, Olivia, even Lyn if I get better units. I've a four-star Marth and a Kagero, dunno if they're worth upgrading. Also a 3-star robin.
Least I'm not short on rolls, though. 61 orbs and still not done the story; there's about 20-odd orbs left of story to clear. Between those, log-in bonuses, and extra missions I should easily get 100 for the next banner, which I'm saving up for.

Ah didn't even notice those were up.
I see what you mean.
So combined with the new quests that's 12 free orbs!

I don't have any of those green units either and that makes me sad.
While it is much appreciated that Intelligent Systems is adding these 1.5x EXP and extra quests as a bandaid solution, it's insulting to straight up tell your player base not even 2 weeks within launch that there's already a content drought and we're providing these small rewards to help tide you by and convince you not to quit.
Really not a good look for Animal Crossing if they continue this conservative approach week on week.
I mean it's not too late to turn it around, Fate Grand Order had very similar problems and turned it around in 6 months time.
But you really need to get your shit together by now.
The average player and whale can only be patient for so long and squandering your momentum and a huge money faucet to fund your other projects is ridiculous.

The x1.5 EXP event is still up. So it's very possible to complete it.
I hope you're lighting up their twitter with complaints.
So much potential here, it would be a real shame to waste it.
Also have you seen what just happened in the NBA?

I'm pretty sure these new quests are a stop gap until the next big content release, which I'm assuming is soon.
They must know that the #1 issue they have right now is a lack of stuff to do.

Check your inbox, the owl at your home base, and see if they're still there. If you had started playing the game before that date you should have it. Otherwise I'm not sure if players who joined later will have them or not...
hm ok, it says i got them at some point though i dont remember redeeming them. been using them here and there on leveling up characters and ive always been under 10k. guess i just didnt notice.
thanks

Thought so. She hit 40 and I'm not even close to affording it
Is recruiting every character a reasonable goal in this? One of the reasons I really enjoyed Fantasy War Tactics is that I could grind out almost every character with the exception of event ones where I have to wait for the events to come again. I like these games a lot less when I have to gatcha for units.
It's reasonable if you're a whale.
Because I dropped below 5000 in rank I spent my last dueling crests and ended up getting a perfect 7-win streak.
4530 points, up from 4489 or something.
And here's me doing a draw back and drag back that saved my ass.

And here's me doing a draw back and drag back that saved my ass.
Eirika is about to kill Frederick, but if she does, she'll get attacked by Ephraim.
I move Lyn to the left so that Eirika can draw back after killing Frederick.
Finally, I drag back Eirika with Nino to take her out of range from Ephraim.
Which unit is holding back your average?
Nino.
Pretty sure 4,600 is going to be the minimum for Top 1,000 rank this season.
I'm just barely scraping by at this level.
The issue is that there shouldn't be a stopgap to begin with.
There shouldn't be any need for a bandaid solution, you should have content ready.
If you go up and partner with DeNA how you go and mess up already this early when this is your first smartphone game with gacha.
If they don't ramp it up or turn it around in the first 6-8 months, you're not going to have much goodwill.
I already filled my survey out and been tweeting at them.
Like I love Fire Emblem, I have been a fan for decades. Fire Emblem 4 and 5 were my first ever RPGs back when I was a kid.
I've been living with Intelligent Systems disappointing me forever. This isn't new, but somehow they still manage to disappoint me.

Cool to see you pull that trick off. Congrats.
Went back up from ~5200 in rank to ~2530 in rank.
This time I won't have to survive the top 5000 rank by the skin of my teeth.
Thanks.

Christ alive. I remember why I don't like reading smartphone reviews.
I don't think they actually killed your unborn child by not having infinite content in the f2p gacha game, in the first month, just because you are at a point where the quests are largely easy.
Spoil this for you now, the game is never going to satisfy you.
No because most every single one of the most popular and top performing games have had much more and better content, with a brand new IP, with less money than Nintendo all within the first month, and year.
I dead ass want this game to be good, I still think it can be good.
It's disappointing to see them continue to squander shit.
I'm not the only one complaining, a shit ton of regular gacha players are too.

You obviously like the game enough to be a top 1% player. Take a break man, the game has been out for two weeks and they've practically been releasing new quests/maps daily, just cause you can breeze through it in 5 minutes doesn't mean they aren't working on it.
