Yeah the game feels too stingy for me to spend money on it. I want a guarantee of at least a 4 star per 5-pack if I'm going to come close to thinking it's worth cold cash.

I want to spend orbs to get characters but I don't want to wait for 20 orbs

I agree. The tactics aren't at the same level as mainline FE obviously, but there's still the few moves each match I have to stop and think about that make it fun and satisfying to me. Also helps that I'm alternating between a team of my 4 star pulls and a team of the story characters.
The battle arena also gets intense with the pressure to not lose and waste a sword and break the streak.

Thanks!
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. On the "bright" side, there are a lot of 5* characters that just aren't worth it. For instance, spending 2k getting my Lissa to 4* for an upgraded heal is a way better deal than getting my Cherche to 5* for +4 atk and +1 ally def on her skill.
Spent all last night rerolling getting nothing but 3 stars, woke up this morning decided to go with my next roll and got a 5 Star Sheena, and a couple cool 4 stars, so I'm set. Actually started playing the game and kind of overwhelmed with what all you can do. Besides the 50 stamina, they give you essentially 12 stamina refills to start, and with stamina costs down on the training tower right now, you could dump a lot of time in this game.

I haven't played THAT much gacha games before this but it really feels like they're stingy with orbs here. Like, I really need more character pulls to get hooked in the first placed, I'm surprised they don't throw more at you for free during the early game. :/
What's the benefit to adding friends by the way?

Adding friends gets you feathers.
How much can you upgrade your castle? Currently have 80% xp unlocked.
The sound design is really not well suited to the game's format - which is particularly disappointing after how well Awakening and Fates did in that area, ditching separate battle themes for dynamic variants of the map music. I could have stomached the use of separate battle music here when representing games which used it originally (as with the Awakening DLC), but doing the same thing to the 3DS tracks is such a waste - especially because battles are even shorter here than usual, and player phase music resets at the beginning of a turn.
If I'm playing with sound on, I've just been muting the game music and playing the uninterrupted version of the track assigned to the map - the 3DS games' Ablaze/Fire/Alight/Storm map themes with no breaks for battle themes or enemy phase music are usually the perfect length for a chapter.

So if I do the quest on Hard after finishing on Normal I won't get any EXP in the beginning because I'm overlevelled?

The game is very bare bones atm. Lots of systems missing, resources are stupidly scarce and not a lot to actually do. I mean it's the first weekend after release...there should be a ton of events and shit on right now to bring in the players and get them started.
But then, I bet all the other games started like this. We're just used to titles that have had months and months of post release development.
I think 100% is the last one. I don't have it yet. Need to beat 10 more story missions!

Click the slab on the bottom left of the Home screen section to go to Friends List (The one that's left of the Fountain and bellow the Bulletin Board). Then click the magnifying glass icon (search icon). Your ID will be listed
100% is indeed the last one.

I've gone against him twice in arena and he is way too good, he is like a 4 man team on his own.
Shouldve just kept my roll that had him. Oh well
You have near infinite EXP gain due to training, so I actually kind of disagree. Orbs are finite, especially at the moment where you only get 1 orb per mission.
Don't get me wrong, upgrading is definitely useful, but I wouldn't blow through them straight away. I've been doing it whenever I can.

Archers in general are really ridiculous.

20k? Seriously!?
I see. Sounds useful enough! Well, if anyone wants to add me here's my ID thing:
I mean, I don't mind it being a little bare bones but beating story maps for 1 orb at a time just seems a bit much to me either way. And yeah, I expected way more launch events.
I'm sure it'll get better as things go on though.
While I think the "omg my 5 star is soooooooo broken" posts are premature, Takumi does seem incredibly overpowered since he effectively has 1-2 range on enemy phase.
You also need 20 of the super high end badges as well.

The friends list appears to be capped at 50. At least for now.

Go to Applications>App Manager>Fire Emblem Heroes>Storage> and Clear the Data... and then open the game again and download the game data... Worked for me, but i have to do the same every 2 hours. Galaxy S6 non rooted.
Yup, you can get the characters on the banner as 5 * characters. But that's the only difference: all the other characters in the two "pools" are exactly the same (last time I checked).

Just got another 4 star tharja in my reroll (my second).
The problem is, the team is even worse than in my original reroll WTF.

You have a base 6% chance to get a 5* in each. 3% can be any 5 star, 3% to get the 4 characters shown. Its a minor difference.
Focused just means they are easier to draw in the gacha and that's it. You can tell which ones they are because they are pictured in the banner.
So what is the lower-right runestone? I've beaten the story and that's still sitting there with "???".
There's no difference once you have them. You just have a much better chance of getting a particular focused hero.

I will say that Fire Emblem Heroes did a much better job with the music. Even if most are reused tracks.
I didn't enjoy a lot of Mario Run's music.

Not released yet, it's probably going to be released in a future patch for lategamee content as there really is no late game content now.
I don't really know anything of Fire Emblem outside Smash and Tokyo Mirage Sessions but this game is super fun. Got some really cool 4* units from my first 20 gem pulls, including a healer who heals for 10hp, a spear wielder on a pegasus that has insane attack and defense and this fanservicey swordsman
Is the cast of Tokyo Mirage Sessions in this? If not do you think they will be?
