I have to imagine a 20-minute video is going to detail something completely new.

However, even if it happens to be a massive disappointment, I'll let it slide with any confirmation of a Christmas banner featuring archer Tharja on a flying reindeer.

I'd like to see a better way to grind SP. The Warriors maps spoiled us. I think it's still too early for a Christmas banner - give it another two weeks.

I finished upgrading my Arena team's Sacred Seals to level 3. Robin gets Distant Def 3, Eirika gets Hardy Bearing 3, Nino gets Deflect Magic 3, and Alfonse/Sharena/Anna gets Panic Ploy 3. Feels good :)

I've definitely been a bit cooler on the game as of late, since a lot of the joy comes from toying with new builds, but if you don't get a lot of interesting characters in your pulls, you'll have less things to toy around with. I've been reasonably fortunate in my pools and I'm still feeling a bit of ennui.

That being said, after pulling Halloween Henry, I've been playing around with a double-Guidance team via Tana and Elincia w/ Guidance 2 Seal, plus H! Henry and Hector/Arden/BK. BK in particular is hilarious, since my Henry is using Fury and quickly gets into WoM range, at which point the BK can pull off all sorts of nonsense with 2 Guidance fliers hovering around combined with weakened Henry and 2 move range from Armor March. I've also done lots of ridiculousness with a WoM Dancer replacing one of the Guidance fliers. Don't think it's done so hot as Arena defense, but hopefully it was still interesting to run into.

And finally cleared Chain Challenge 11 & 12. There's nothing left for me to do to get orbs.

I got another 3* Adult Tiki for my troubles...

I've got 5 H Henrys. 4 are all -ATK and one is +HP.

Glad I got H Jakob though. But likeShadowSoldier89, I'd like to trade in my Henrys for NekoSakura.

Hurray! I've finally managed to complete 11-12 Lunatic CC. Just had to get to 12-4 with my first team intact so I can spend my reinforcements on the last two maps.

I used:
B!Lyn - Mulagir/Repo/Draconic Aura, Swift Sparrow/Sacae/Hone Cav/DDef3
Rein - Usual set up, I ran Goad Cav as C
Axezura - WoM1 was enough, ran Deflect Magic 3
Elincia - Amiti/Repo/Luna, DB3/Hit&Run/- with Guidance Seal.

Turned out the guidance Seal wasn't really needed for 11-3, you can repo axezura over the mountain just fine.

Looking forward to more stuff coming out soon now that I've finally cracked this one :)

For the F2P players, how much attention y'all pay to IVs? I've been lucky so far that I haven't gotten any 5*s with straight up bad IVs, but am wondering what I would do if I get a character I really want with trash IVs

4 colourless and 1 green on the DB banner. Pulled a Klein, so farewell 3.5% pity rate and Delthea.

Time to start saving orbs for the next banner.

Gamepedia updated their Tier List. Brave Lyn gets a spot all to herself. I actually had to do a double take, they need to sort out their ranks, there is no need for that many of them.

Perhaps they could not display tiers that aren't being used. I get what they mean when they do it, but it looks silly.

Looks like I will have to use Guard on Felicia. Luna/Moonbow are more dangerous on her than -Raven mages. Thankfully Guard should fix that up.

I hope tomorrow will bring some exciting news. I am a bit bored with the game at the moment.

Well tomorrow you at least have a presentation to rewatch (assuming it airs in the middle of the night for you too), at least 5 pages to check in this thread, maybe even a thread in the main-gaming-forum to check, update the game via the play/app store, update the game via in-game-update, possibly check out the new heroes, pull for the new heroes, rage at pulling 3* berukas for the x-tenth time again, rage at the IVs after getting a new hero and finally check out the QoL updates and new stuff in the game. ^^

That should schedule the morning. All because of this game ... it's something. ^^

With the log in bonus I had enough orbs for a pull, and finally got Elincia.
-Att/+def, hahaha.
I can't even be too mad at that, she's still going to be better than my Palla. I'll just give her the Attack seal, my flying team just got an upgrade.

Mind sharing how you did it and what team you used?
I used three teams.
First was Shanna with Firesweep L+, S.Corrin, Inigo, and Vampire Henry. Since three of those are limited units, that might not help you, haha. The idea is that I wanted to build a team that could travel around the mountain map(Shanna had the guidance seal to help Henry, Inigo had Wings of Mercy and S.Corrin was already down to 1 HP thanks to Fury) and I also wanted a team that could clear 11-5(Henry has the highest Res of the units I've built, so he could tank everything after I got rid of Celica and making it easier for me to pick off the others).
They lost at some point in the chapter 12 maps, and I switched to a horse team of B.Roy, B.Lyn, Cecilia, and Oscar. They lasted until the last map, where I grabbed some extra units to defeat the two enemies that were left.

I hope this new update will be interesting.
I really, really, lost interest in the game lately. Despite spending hours and a ton of € in it...

Is this the first time we've had the same arena specials for 3 weeks in a row? It has been 3 weeks right?

Most of the day 1 community is bored about the game, and is keep playing because of the time already spent or the money in the game.
I really hope that intsys will wake up from this many months of nothing exciting to do..

Game is really popular in japan as in usa, but really, the content is not in there.
all the monthly things they put are rehused assets/map/challanges with new names or quests.

The only real content we get is banners and ghb.
I don't understand where are all the people working on the title or what are they really doing..
It seems like a big opportunity lost, as pokemon go and mario run...

I don't mind having a little less to do in the game for a little while, tbh. The break from these grindy events is OK. But I'm saving orbs for Christmas (510 currently), so I'm not pulling on any banners, I have no units that need leveling, and I have no fodder left for the units I want to build. That basically leaves me with the singular goal of staying in tier 20 this week, and really for the next couple weeks until whenever the Christmas banner shows up.

+10 with 500 orbs? You wish.
That's one successful pull every 45 orbs.
Took me under 400 orbs or so to get just two of the units I wanted on the Halloween banner.

What do you even need 510 orbs for, Jesus Christ

The highest I saved up was about 300-400, somewhere around there. It's pretty nice to have so much ready to increase chances of getting what I want.

I'll probably try to go back to saving. I have good enough units to clear the more challenging stuff that I can just try to collect characters I care about.

I just hope I can manage to get the +10, definitely will need more than 510 orbs to do it but I would feel like a total loser if I could only pull off a +8 or +9.

I generally get more or less what I want out of every banner and I don't particularly save (most I had was like 50, and that was yesterday).

That said, it's my first time in this OT so I ust wanted to say I play FE:H for the story. I just want to tell Veronica everything will be alright. I wonder if the story will ever be finished?

Got a pity breaker Maria, thought I was screwed, then got a Sakunya on the very next orb. Nice.

I think I'm good on this banner now.

IVs are important, but a bad IV usually doesn't utterly ruin a character. If anything, you can usually salvage it with a seal or something, or just by playing around it a little more. If the character really hinges on a particular stat then a bane in that stat definitely hurts, but you can almost always still use the unit. It just won't be as good as other versions of the same unit.

IMO, going "I got a bad IV, so therefore this unit I otherwise love is instantly completely useless" is jumping the gun.

Was up to 4.5% rate on the Halloween banner, and pulled a fucking 5 star Merric. I still have literally nothing from the actual banner.

I hate this game.

Got another Witch Nowi, this time +Spd -Atk, for bladetome that's better than +Res -Hp, right? Guess I'll merge with the +spd one.

I stopped checking them for 5*s I pull.It's just not worth it.

Still do if I either end up with two of the same and am merging them (in which case I want to keep whichever is preferable) or am upgrading something to 5*.

Yeah. I spent some ridiculous amount of orbs (300 or something, can't actually remember, could be anywhere from 250+) on the CYL banner and got exactly zero of the units (fuck you clair). Thankfully they gave out Bow Lyn anyway.

You're not getting to +10 anything with 500 orbs. Best case scenario is that's 125 pulls if every single orb is the right colour, all 5 every time, and it would be utterly impossible to hit the low% rate 11 times with that few attempts.

Best of luck though!

You can build around it for a number of units if you plan accordingly. I've got a few 5* units rolling some pretty bad IVs but it hasn't really stopped me using them. I have a -Atk/+Res Minerva that I run as a flying tank with Bonfire but without LoD3 and she still breaks things, even without Flier support. I don't go near Advanced Arena but successfully float around Tier 18 and manage most of the things the game throws at me with teams rolling such units. Very few are unusable with a bad bane.

Speaking of bad IVs, I just checked my Sakunya and she's +atk -spd. The -spd isn't great, but I imagine I can work around it by giving her QR + deflect magic.

Yeah I'm running out of things to do too. I guess I could start using the feathers I've hoarded to start promoting some 4* or doing 5* merges.

I've been spending my stamina on Normal/Hard Chain Challenges since I haven't cleared those yet.

I see,I'll take note of that

Have S.Corrin and Inigo,so I'll see if I can sub the other two

Thanks :)
