How many castle upgrades are there?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Is Jeorge good? It's the only 5* I got so far out of two 20 orb pulls.

Not a particularly popular character but any 5* should be strong.

[Shinypogs]

Blasted through Normal and I'm on Chapter 6 of Hard now.

I farmed enough orbs for 5 multipulls, and got not even a single 5*. At 4% 5* Rare and 4% Focus, so hopefully my next one will get me one or two 5* to make up for the disappointment.

Do you get orbs for story missions again on hard?

 

[poutmeter]

Not available in my country, with no hopes of it ever being available, I suppose; Miitomo is still not available here

 

[Kitoro]

Do you get orbs for story missions again on hard?

Yep! And it's a cakewalk.

 

[Vecks]

I guess I'll work on upgrading the main characters since they won't go home, and it bugs me to have 2 stars clogging up the castle. Not sure if it's worth it, but they each seem to have some unique skill at 5 star and there's not much else to focus on anyway.

 

[sorakirosaki]

Yep! And it's a cakewalk.

if u dont mind me asking what are you running? im getting trashed on 9-3 normal lol

 

[Lanrutcon]

Send your unwanted heroes home, you get rewarded with feathers. The rarer the hero, the more feathers you get.

You only get 1k from a 5 star hero. You need 20k to make a 5 star hero.

you can get 1,600 by getting more than 3k points in arena. (Did it earlier today and it wasn't too hard)

That's limited to once a week, and dependent on everyone's standings. It's a PVP ranking system.

 

[michaelius]

20,000 feathers to take a 4 star to a 5 star, and no reliable way to get them.

That's an issue.

You also get them from receiving greetings from friends - I haven't checked what kind of cap there is on number of friends but it could be solid source.

After putting in a few hours and completing some more story chapters I'm already starting to feel kinda bored of the game, I think it's because there aren't really any short term carrots compared to every other F2P gacha game I've played.

The major problem is that there isn't any way of getting new heroes without using the premium currency, most F2P gacha games have a free currency pool with low rarity characters to get people started which then double up as fusion fodder later on. In addition to that the gacha pools are already starting out super bloated making it impossible to get anything you want. Short of account re-rolling until the end of time I'm probably never going to get a Tharja, Felicia, Arthur or Lissa through the endless stream of bald monk dupes.

Might have to friend spam on this one. It's gonna be nuts.

 

[Snakethesniper]

I've read about auto-battle, does it unlock later?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Dangit Gunter. You're a 4* hero but somehow RNG gods are giving you god tier growths.

He's wrecking house almost as well as my 5* Robin

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

So, Fire Emblem noob here.

Got a 5 Star Tiki on my first pull.

Keep or re-roll?

if its young tiki keep it (can carry a team(at least early game mine solod like the first 6ish chapters by herself one of the best pulls tbh

How do you know if it's young, or not?

 

[SenorArdilla]

5* Minerva
5* Roy
4* Tiki
4* Jagen
3* Virion

Eh. I can get better.

 

[sorakirosaki]

i dont know how to quote images on mobile but if the artist is noizi ito then its the small one (also just realized its also a fav artist of mine hahaha)

 

[Shinypogs]

Yep! And it's a cakewalk.

Sweet. Atm between merrics giving no fucks about anything and saizo debuffing and using poison strike things could def be harder but i acknowledge i lucked out on pulling a 5 star unit my first pull. That he targets res and uses wind magic to fuck over the pegs who have good res only helps.

I like my team though and will likely not end up doing any more pulling till new units are added. I've got a healer and can switch between est and sharena for lances. Good to know I can star hoarding orbs from higher difficulties though.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Hmm, that's good news I guess, thanks for the info. Won't they just be 1* with no skills though?

The one with cleavage is the older one. Not even joking.

 

[Blackquill]

So since feathers are needed in a massive amount, do you guys think it will be a cool idea to just make a huge google doc with everyone's ID ? So everyone register everyone and at the end of the day, we can have better income

 

[sorakirosaki]

the minimum is at 1 star but u can go for 2 stars (i have a feeling they are gonna make more difficult ones later ) also if you finish both u can at least get 40 sp on a 2 star hahah (silver lining )

at least from my experience ive only gotten 5 feathers regardless of how many friends i got :/ maybe im doing it wrong hahaha

Genuine question:

What is the goal of this game? I do not seem to be able to understand Fire Emblem games or rather I do not understand strategy games with exp.

The games seems to tell me that the best strategy is to make one guy OP and then let him do all the attacks. The same thing happened to me in Awakening suddenly I realised that the best way to proceed is to make everybody except my OP character huddle in a corner.

However, this way of playing is not fun since there is no strategy involve. Just like Awakening it seem like you have to actively work against breaking the game.

So it the goal not to win every fight but rather win every fight AND try to distribute the exp evenly?

 

[PaiiNx]

After 1 day of rerolling and one account with double Lyn finally I used all my lucky on this roll.

 

[cw_sasuke]

the early game makes you feel that way but once u hit a certain chapter it gets a lot tougher and u will need to have some balance in your units

Generally you want to build up a whole team yes since some maps in the games cannot be solo'd while completing all objectives and within time limits. Awakening does allow a super unit to break the game though.

For this game you want a core team with weapon triangle coverage and passive skills that help buff allies since your team is so small and limited. Also remember that you don't have to attack. You can let your strong units take damage and only retaliate while your healer gets exp and other units get much needed kills. The idea is always to use what you have as a whole to their utmost potential.you have an army they should function like one not like 4the strong juggernauts doing their own thing. Well unless you like that playstyle.

 

[Greedings]

What's up with the art in this game? It's HORRIBLE. Why didn't they just use classic FE art?

 

[Sölf]

The difficulty near the end ramp ups quite a bit. I just lost in 9-3 and don't think I can beat that with my current lineup unless I train a bit (which I will probably do). Those damn knights already have nearly 40 HP and those mages wreck me.

 

[ggx2ac]

Did arena, Takumi is so bullshit. Extremely high attack, his weapon can allow him to pass through enemies and, he can counter at melee range.

 

[nephilimdj]

Shes like a normal pokemon, not many enemies she does massive damage too with her dragon thing but she tanks well

Takes 300SP to get the counter. I'm working on mine.

Keep. Dragons are always overpowered. Rule of Fire Emblem.

Thanks for the heads up, will try it out.

Currently unzipping the files.

I just got sent to the title screen for a 1.2meg update, it's the norm for these games but thought I would mention it.

Yeah same. I can't find what updated though.

News says a launch promotion, 10 stamina pots and reduced stamina for stuff.

 

[NSESN]

Got 5* Takumi, 4* Cain, 4* Nino and 4* Hana, good enough for me.

 

[rockx4]

How much content do these games normally have, in terms of maps and such. It seems pretty low for the story maps. Do people mainly just grind to lvl/rank up characters?

 

[sorakirosaki]

its a celebration event it seems
free 10 stam pots
no stam cost for equiping skills (i didnt even know this was a thing ....its probably a good idea to get those high costing skills now lol

out side of the potions it seems everything was already in effect....nvm the half stam only applies to traning tower

You have to do it online on the website.

Thanks!

This shows how much stats can vary:

These games are usually designed for long term. Cranking out content constantly is how they keep people coming back.

new content is added regularly to keep people playing and spending
