Where did you read that? I'd like to see multiple level 40 screenshots where the total stat points don't add up to the same. Also that screenshot isn't a good indication since there's a 4 level difference on top of 11 levels left of stat growth that is undetermined.

4 levels can't make up 13 speed. That is an ENORMOUS difference in the quality of the unit, even if they are 4 levels apart.

Two level 40 units. 161 total stats vs. 163. Don't know if their skills could make a difference? Or some other factor. Also have no idea how big the delta could be - 2 stats is not huge but the fact that the stats are different period is a big deal imo.

There are other screenshots out there.

Reddit only proved that level 40 enemy NPC units don't have the same stat totals as level 40 player units.

Hmm? Not sure I am following... I wouldn't expect NPC and player units to have same stats... right?

Anyway, I hope I am way off base.

Wait hold on, there are people who play fire emblem for the story? For real?

Fire Emblem has a shit story every time, and horrible dialogue. Every time its "Im good so go team, lets do our best!" or "I'm bad, so grrr! Evil! See how evil I am!!"

Terrible.


One of the best parts of this game, is it streamlines all that crap out of it. Better battle maps would be nice, as the strategy on every one is wait for the enemy to move out, or lure them out and then murder them all.

But all in all as a bite sized FE, pretty good.

How can you be this unlucky? (from Reddit)

5* rates goes up every time you don't get a 5*

So my last pull with a Tharja (the third Tharja after nearly a day of pulls) seems to be the one im keeping.
She is still 4 stars, but in the same roll I got a 4 star Gaius and a 4 star Fae.

And im doing the story right now and seems that the luck is on my side when giving stats to all the characters.
Got even the mynintendo orbs, now im waiting to get some more orbs so I can make two full pulls.

Really hoping I can get a 5 star at least or a good healer.

The problem I have right now is that Fae, the small girl that turns into a giante bird/dragon has good stats (except for speed) but I dont know where she is good at. What are this type of characters strong to?

She should still have a colored symbol representing her attack in her character info/thumbnail. For example, I have Tiki and her attack symbol is red. Dragons, mages, and fighters all have colors and fit into the same weapons triangle in Heroes. The only characters outside of it in this game are the gray ones like archers.

Was that stronger one merged with another duplicate to get those two stat points? We don't know.

But yes, any variation on stat totals is bullshit if they're both 'raw' 40s.

Do mergers give so few stat benefits? 2 would seem like it's not worth it at all. I honestly don't know how all the mechanics work yet. Either way, this is something that will be easily verifiable in the coming days.

 

[Firemind]

So you don't gain exp when you die. Huh. So that's why Anna is so awful!

 

[aett]

I finally got one of the characters I want, but the other four were all three-star characters I don't recognize at all - and two of them were duplicates! Guess I'll keep rerolling over the weekend. (I have a problem.)

Yep, merges give bonus stats as long as the sacrifice is the same rarity or higher.

WELP NEVERMIND. You get 40+1 if you merge.

v yep just noticed

You can tell if they are merged as it would be 40+(x).

Where x is the number of merges.

You're insane. I don't care if the other 4 characters were pieces of monkey poop, as long as I got the unit I was after.

She is green, suppose is crap against swords then.

Man I have been doing this since yesterday. Thankfully some hours ago I got the Tharja plus two other 4 star characters. Gaius from Awakening is one of them and is wrecking thankfully. I just hope I get a gold one in my next rolls.

 

[Vena]

Unless feathers start arriving in sets of multiple thousands rather than 5) from units in your castle, there's no way its feasible to promote anything but your most darling of units to 5-stars.

 

[aett]

You're insane. I don't care if the other 4 characters were pieces of monkey poop, as long as I got the unit I was after.

FWIW, I won't have wifi access again for another few hours, so I'm hoping the urge to reroll subsides.

 

[kswiston]

You really start to notice a difference between good and not so good units past level 15 or so.

Also, I wonder why the ranking sites have Chrom so low. Seems pretty good to me for a physical unit killer.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

She is green, suppose is crap against swords then.

Yep. Bad against fire magic and swords, good against lances and electric magic. If you're ever in doubt, go by the symbols because other information can be slightly confusing; for example, my Tiki is red and acts as a red but her attacks are lightning.

Ok, I feel like chapter 9 is a pretty big difficulty spike.

It is.

9-3 is hate. 9-4 is hate. 9-5 I got lucky on my first try but jesus. Those STATS!

 

[Quonny]

Wow, random stat totals is a super bummer. Such a bummer that if they keep it the way it is, I dunno how much I'll be playing this.

Obviously it's only day 2, but this needs to be fixed or systems need to be put in to not make this matter so much.

Eh, I've been re-rolling on a second phone for 5 hours today and only pulled a single 5* Lyn a few mins ago. I'm after a Felicia and any interesting 5* but the best roll I've had was a 3* Felicia and 3* Tiki so far. This gacha is honestly the worst I've encountered in any F2P by a country mile.

 

[DecoReturns]

Zephiel killed me

 

[Kinsei]

Damn, the intermediate difficulty in the arena sure did have a huge jump since last night. Instead of characters around level 10 it's now filled with level 20+ characters. I still haven't failed a match yet though!

It also seems like my team was able to beat someone that challenged me!

 

[McBryBry]

Got a 5 star Robin and Azura after a reroll on my starting orbs, they're wrecking everything in their way. How do I get more orbs besides 1 per win.?

 

[LProtag]

This is kinda making me want to play Fates again, but there are just so many games coming out right now...

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Is your units placement on the map completely random or is it based on their position in your team?

 

[Kouriozan]

I suggest you to NOT LOOK at Brave Exvius.

 

[Credo]

I just got a 5 star Takumi, but the rest of my units were 3 stars I didn't care anything about. Probably should've just gone with it to save myself the headache, but after seeing the posts about how much it costs to promote units to 5 star level, I think I'll keep at it a bit longer.

 

[Kinsei]

It's based on the order their placed in your team. It sucks that you can't rearrange them before a match starts like in normal FE games.

 

[rhandino]

Decided to use my 20 orbs and only got 1 red and it was Draug (At least I know him from Tokyo Mirage Sessions) some flops from that flop game called Seal of Flames, Saizo and my only 5 star is Cordelia from Awakening.

Disgusting. Let me go trough the rest of Story Mode to get more orbs.

Almost seems like total level of enemies in arena is determined by difficulty and the level of characters you bring in. I failed my 3rd attempt because my guys were all ~12 at the time, and opposing side was 5-6-7-20 or something stupid like that, and the 20 wiped us.

 

[Hours Left]

I'm afraid to spend orbs on pulls. I don't care about any of the current focus characters.

I hope we hear about some new banners soon.

 

[billy beane]

Pulled a five star Marth on my first summon. Makes the game a cakewalk.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh my god. Rerolling is hell.

 

[bizzarewars]

Pretty happy with this pull I got this morning. Azura's been putting in work.

 

[StrikeZero]

Chapter 9 is really hard. I had to use Light's Blessing on the the last 3 levels.

Do arena tokens regenerate over time naturally or are they orb refueled only?

 

[jwhit28]

Do arena tokens regenerate over time naturally or are they orb refueled only?

They recharge everyday or you can redeem a refill item from mynintendo.

 

[Hours Left]

Do arena tokens regenerate over time naturally or are they orb refueled only?

They regenerate at the start of each in-game "day". There's also a special item you can use to replenish them.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Just did my second 20 pull on the same save.
Fuck my bad luck, everyone was one of those 3 star characters that repeats on every fucking reroll I did before and the only one I liked, Setsuna was a 3 star instead of 4.

 

[syncyes]

I said "fuck it" on 9-5 and used the resurrection item.

Which is basically the equivalent of Phoenix Mode

I've become a casual

Do mergers give so few stat benefits? 2 would seem like it's not worth it at all. I honestly don't know how all the mechanics work yet. Either way, this is something that will be easily verifiable in the coming days.

I merged two 2* Virions and the benefit you get is just a single level-up that doesn't actually increase their level. I did not merge two 5*s but I looked at what it was promising to do if I did and it was suggesting the same +1 level bonus, and that persisted even after leveling up the card I was going to merge in. But this is apparent on the stat screen, so it's not what's going on here.

 

[Balphon]

The level value for the unit would show as +X if it were merged.

 

[Sölf]

I unlocked Lunatic quests. It's not nice. These are in German, I translate them below:

- Use blue allies to defeat 15 level 35 enemies.
- Use mounted allies to defeat 15 level 35 enemies.
- Defeat 15 level 35 green enemies.
- Defeat 15 level 35 armored enemies.
- Use 4 infantry units in chapter 6-5 on lunatic difficulty, all must survive.
- Use Felicia in chapter 6-1 on lunatic difficulty, all allies must survive.
- Finish floor 8 in the training tower 15 times.
- Finish 15 arena matches on the highest difficulty.

 

[psaman17]

Just started the game and somehow ended up with 2 5star lucinas. Should i merge?

 

[Kinsei]

Now? No. Put them both on your team and laugh as they destroy everything in their way.

 

[Balphon]

You may want to wait. Use them to roll over the earlier content and then merge the one with the worse stat distribution later on.

 

[brinstar]

is the only way to get orbs in-game by clearing story missions 1 orb at a time?

 

[psaman17]

I dont like that they allow duplicate units on the same team. Makes for boring team composition. Everybody will be using 4 of the same unit once the internet finds out who the strongest is.
