I mean, nobody who speaks English knows who any of them are except for Sanaki. And then because total stats are so important for the only end-game content we've got, mounted and ranged heroes have to be really impressive to get a look, and healers are both not that useful and hard to differentiate. The new Brave Tome users are paying an absolutely massive stat penalty, for example.
Eldigan's the only one that looks particularly appealing absent a prior attachment from an earlier FE game, mostly because he's got a Killer weapon with the Mt of a Silver+ weapon, but even then I'm not sure his kit is that great, although I think he's the red with the highest stats right now.
Why wouldn't you just use level 50 armored and dragons instead? I understand that there's a score cap somewhere but realistically something's got to change with the way Arena works to make it so that most people aren't better off just trying to put together a huge bundle of stats.
I've finally got enough feathers to promote a 4* to 5*.
The question is what.
I have 2 Effies, but both her IV's are a bit meh. +SPD -RES, -ATK +DEF. On the other hand I have a 5* Sakura she could pair up with, but then again not sure how much its worth using healers really.
Some other options -
Nowi +ATK -DEF
Kagero +SPD -RES
Corrin F -DEF +RES, -HP +ATK
Course I could just save them.

Kagero has the best nature of those.
Yeah I thought as much, though I've heard +ATK is actually probably better.
The question is whether I'd actually use her.

On how percentages work when pulling non-Focus: The leading theory is that RNG generates the unit first then spawns the appropriate-colored orb as opposed to the other way around. This avoids the "How's the 3% Focus spread if I'm picking non-Focus color" problem and also explains why red is the most common color. The whales can help confirm red is pretty darn common.
To give you an idea of how it's spread, assuming I can count...
Now, with Hector being a non-Focus 5* green, the chances of merely spawning him are a pretty abysmal 0.07%. As you aren't forced to pick blindly and can discard unwanted colors, your odds of actually getting him are a little better.
Assuming my math isn't bad...(Some rounding involved, so actual numbers are a little higher)
On "Is this the best time to pull Hector?": Actually, the best time was at launch, not that the odds were good in the first place! As others have said, you'll just have to pray he becomes a banner character now 'cause it only gets worse from here.
Who are some good ranged characters these days? Are Linde, Nino, Julia, MRobin, and Kagero still the most favored ones?
I'm mostly looking for glass cannons because the rest of my team is kind of short on damage. I have a 4* MRobin but he seems to really lack damage?

I was gonna invoke and was greeted with 1 blue orb and 4 red.
lol
yeah, I'm keeping my orbs, even though I want Sanaki.

I have the chance of getting a level 50 Female Corrin so I may do that.
Just unlikely to do that with armoured units, I don't like their mobility. You'd still have to balance them with units that can move them around with support skills like Reposition.
Add this with how difficult Hector is to get, I really wouldn't want to see how many orbs it would take to get him a few times.
Edit: Maybe I misread what you said.

Pulled once, got a bunch of 3 star crap along with 5 star Minerva. Not terrible, but I really want Olwen :/
Lol for real. Her artwork doesn't match her speech patterns whatsoever. Not really digging Eldigan's art either.

TBH, Reinhardt and a dancer is 400 feathers every week.
Tharja has a tome similar to Nino that gets stronger with buffs. People seem to be waking up to how strong that is and both shot up on the tier lists.
Robin doesn't hit the hardest but he's got good defense and advantage over colorless. So he murders the 87 bazillion Takumis in arena.

Dangit game, I'm trying to Red focus here for Sanaki
I get child Tiki on my last orb pull.
Like...I can't complain since child Tiki is good but it's not Sanaki...

4* to 5* Always get a big damage buff due to 5* superior weapons, I'd make him your next feather target unless you pull someone from your list or Takumi at 5*, also if you want to see meta ranged fighters here's a tier list.

If you've got orbs stocked you could wait till nino next week also
This. In FE4, she might be stubborn but never stupid; she is strong and determined. In Heroes, her portrait and dialogue make her look and sound like a spoiled loli instead....
They'd better not screw up next time with Nanna, or else there will be riot.
Maybe if it allows you to undo an action where your unit does nothing but move. I get that fairly often.
NO KAGERO WHY ARE YOU GREY NOW

So no viable green units again, huh. Pass.
Is it just me, or is the translation team ratcheting up the underlying incest motive for some of these siblings... Maybe it's just me.
I'm mostly mad they made her a staff healer, they screwed up a chance to have a sword unit that could heal. That's like the point of master knight.
Definitely not for Lachesis, a lot of what was interesting about her was that while she understood the limits of her princess power, she used that and her good looks to sleep with her brother, Beowolf, and Finn cuz she just likes having sex. Surprisingly rare in Japanese storytelling as well
Yeah exactly. Accidentally doing nothing with a unit really blows.

Made a quick 5 pull last night and got the new banner healer. Her skillset seems "meh" at best, I'd rather rank up Sakura or Clarine. That said, ranking up healers seems silly in this game so far, 4* seem to be able to do just fine, so I'm not even sure I'd use this new girl.
Ah well, at least I got the pulling out of my system early.

I believe 4 star olivia has access to everything olivia needs, and with how rare feathers are...

Alright, new characters new chances, 40 orbs for 10 new units
and 5 of them are dupes. I don't even summon that much! So lame. I guess they might end up useful with that future skill inheritance update, however that works
I'm alright with the 5 non-dupes tho, buncha 3/4-star average joes, including a 4-star Eirika. Too bad her attack buff is hidden behind a 20.000 feather upgrade, wah

The only thing she gets from being 5* is a slightly stronger weapon and more stats.
I've thought about just promoting all the low level Olivias I have and fusing them into the 4* version. I wonder if a 4* +10 Olivia would be siginficantly better than a single 5*. Feather cost would end up the same and she doesn't drop as a 5*. Also I never want to have to level her to 40 ever again.
After I use my 20k feathers on somebody, probably Sharena, I'm gonna have to drop Olivia for the sake of arena stats. But she's so important to how I play the game it's gonna suck to do so.
Hone Attack scores critical OHKOs that otherwise wouldn't OHKO, but she gets Hone Attack 3 at *4.
I position my units around her buff to get maximum value. Kagero and Effie especially can score OHKOs with a +4 atk buff.

-DEF/+RES child tiki...
Given how most of the things that kill her are sword users I guess -DEF helps cause def is pretty useless in that scenario anyways...

Oooh, I didn't realize Eirika could be 4 star now. I'm tempted just to play the odds.
Yeah, I didn't even recognize her from the banner art until I looked up who was in it. She looks like she's like 12
Okay admittedly I haven't played all of FE4 but she really had sex with her brother? I thought was just a rumor.
She can tank Hector and Sheena without a problem. A -def nature would hamper her role.
Used my 20 orbs saved up and got 4* Tiki and 5* Sanaki, not bad. Sanaki's weapon gives +4 attack to adjacent allies through next turn and also has Hone attack that gives +4 attack through next turn... I don't think they will stack because it will be terribly broken to give +8 attack so what's the point??

I'm trying to find reasons to justify the -def lol.

In the game she is rumored to have strong romantic feelings for her brother, but in the manga it is clear that they are in a romantic relationship. But nowhere is it actually stated that they had sex. Finn technically is the official pairing since Nanna the child of Lachesis calls Finn her father.
I think they kinda just jumped straight into it headfirst with this game.
The first major event is practically the incest event where all the potential incest of the series has a giant spotlight shone on it.
At this rate, the next event will probably be the 1000 year-old dragons event.
Really? Then does Eirika's weapon buff and hone attack/rally attack stack? Anyone know?
Thanks, I guess I'll save my orbs and see if my Robin has a good nature. F2P builds up orbs so slowly that it probably makes sense to save for a week or two until I find a banner I like.
On an unrelated note, I'm also getting a bit weirded out by the whole incest theme in these events. This isn't fucking Game of Thrones here.
But the sad thing is that in this new story, all the dialogue full of siblings endlessly gushing over each other is still somehow less annoying than the dialogue in the previous set.

pretty much. I ended up spending money trying to get SOME use out of the 5.5% I had built up on Legendary Heroes because the massive number of orbs wasted would've been too tragic otherwise. At least the +spd/-res Robin I found was worth it.
I wonder if they would ever bring back old banners, and if so would you keep your appearance rate? Doubt it, but just a thought.
Seriously. Scared Stones seemed like it tried to downplay the twincest just a little, but this game just decided to beat you across the face with it...
I'm surprised they didn't try it more with Seliph and Julia.
