    Fire Emblem Cipher - Rules and Q&A

    in Fire Emblem TCG

    Posted

    There's something that has been unnerving me. Ike's skill. As it stands, it's the worst Lord skill of them all. I love Ike, I really do (fave lord, actually), but I had to say it. By the time his skill would be worth activating, he should be promoted, similar to Chrom's deal. At that stage, I'd much rather score some quick damage by attack their MC a bunch of times with multiple units, you know?

    However, I suspect they will solve this conundrum when his set releases. They'll likely make some mechanic that puts cards under cards outside of how it is done nowadays. Like a unit giving another unit an ability like "when this units destroys a unit in battle, put the top card of your deck in this unit's stack", similar to leveling up. There could be other ways than what I just mentioned. The sister TCGs to CFV (the game Cipher is practically ripping off of) deal with card stacks under units and other cards.

    Any thoughts on what I'm talking about?

    Yeah you can place any unit on any other card with the same name. (So level 1 Marth on level 2, 3 4, 5 or even on level 1 Marth)

    What cards aren't translated btw? I'm pretty sure the document covers every known card.

    Edit: In the file, the final CorrinF promo is incorrect, i hadn't noticed at the time that it's the white one. I THINK it's

    "Sword of Yatogami" / CONT / During your turn, while you control at least one White and one Black Bond, this unit gains 10 attack. /// "Hero Emblem" / ATK SUPP / If your attacking unit is White, it destroys two Orbs instead of one this battle."

    Oh, sorry. I downloaded the document as an excel spreadsheet (easier for me that way) and some of the boxes didn't take. After looking over the document in Dropbox, I do see that all known cards (at least known to me) are indeed translated. Thank you.

    I have a question that is bugging me. The skills of the cards that are under a card of higher level are still in effect? For example, the skills of a cost 4 Marth under my cost 5 Marth are still active?

    I don't think so. Would be weird. I'm pretty sure by then, it is a different card entirely and effects shouldn't carry over.

    Alright, I put up the last remaining images. To reiterate, as it is important, if anyone finds calear non-sample images, please replace the ones on thw wiki or give me a link. And I took a look at the document and it all looks nice! Thanks for the help! I'm kinda too tired to do any more work but I gave it to a friend of mine who has an account on the wiki, so he's on it. I noticed some cards aren't translated. Figure you already know, but just want that said. Will probably be done by the time I would need to put them on the wiki, anyhow.

    Also, Jakob's ass. Just...dat ass.

    Alright, thanks for the links! I'll get to uploading those after I get some sleep! I'll look into Lackey, but not making any guarantees one way or the other, as I'm not sure how it works and if I can do it or not.

    As for Ike, if I have this right: you can "upgrade" him (unpromoted version placed on top of him, maybe even same exact card) and the ability would be active? Since it counts both the unit and all cards under him? Also, that makes sense, as my guess as to the ability would require some method of keeping track of the ability and they're making it like the Bushi games in that all you need is a deck of cards to play and no outside peripherals (coin, die, counters, etc.) needed. The ability is rather interesting and makes use of that little known and rarer to be used mechanic of making a stack of cards of a character by upgrading and promoting.

    Well, the card itself was four skills, but said it was two abilities. The last three were lumped together under the "100 Anna Sisters" ability name. I'm actually a proponent for replacing "supportskill" with "ability3" since only cost 1 units have the former while those same units will likely not get more than two abilities in addition to their support skill.

    Also, forgot to ask earlier, but what is Ike's skill? Here is his card for reference:

    http://serenesforest.net/wiki/index.php/File:P02-001.png

    He seems to be using a new keyword involving levels (I see "lv5" and then a Japanese character). I wanna say his skill is that if he's at level 5, he gets +10 power. And getting to level 5 requires him to win 2 battles. That is my best guess. His support skill is likely allowing the attacker to break 2 orbs as how all the other lord cards work, provided they are the same color as him. The text seems the same to me.

    Okay, I officially have entries for every card that I got both a clear image and translation for entered into the wiki. This includes promos (like those Corrins above). I know I have some info missing (like artist, title, and quote) along with minor mistakes (not familiar with Fates classes). I plan to fix those in time or someone else can do it. If I have done mistakes in effects and such, please point them out or fix them yourself. If you know of a translation of a card that has a clear image and the entry is not on the wiki, please notify me. If you know of any clear images without "sample" on them, please notify me. I have yet to see clear images of the starter deck exclusive cards besides the Corrin cards. All booster set 2 cards have clear images and have already been uploaded onto the wiki.

    Just wanna be super clear on what is going on and what I require. Also, what is everyone's stance on adding an "ability3" to the template? It can replace "supportskill". I ask because of this guy:

    The Starter exclusives are lower costed promotions of the royal family, though, so no Silas/Kaze, unless there are more exclusives I'm not aware of.

    EDIT: Also, the second effect of the cost 1 Foleo. Is it "this unit is treated as also having the female affinity at all times" like I suspect it is? If so, that's...actually kinda super funny lol. Pop that card in a harem deck :P

    Kinda weird who was left out and who was put in. Foleo over Silas? Really odd. I like them both, don't get me wrong, but still weird.

    I uploaded images of every card to the wiki, as you can see. So hopefully it can be easier to make the entries for when translations are available. Corrin (male) SR is "B02-001.png" and the rest follow a similar naming pattern. If anyone finds images of the cards that are at least of equal quality to those minus the "sample", please replace the image or notify someone to do it.

    Yes, I very much adore both cards. I might even buy a single of the Jakob card, just to ogle the art. It does beg the question, though: are they gonna have unpromoted forms? I can understand it if they don't get a cost 1 form (so they can't be made into the MC), but having only promoted forms can be awkward. I suppose it helps that they don't need to be promoted to get their full effects, but still.

    The set should be 100 cards, 10 Structure Deck exclusives. (Of which only a few could be new characters)

    Aren't all the starter deck exclusives this time around new promoted versions of all the royal siblings? Like, 1 cost lower than their SR versions? I could be wrong, but yeah...

    And what do the SR Sakura and Elise do? I have the gist, but Google doesn't help when it comes to specifics. Plus, Elise's first skill is fairly incomprehensible (something involving recovering a unit when you break an orb, but I'm not sure).

    Oh cool! Can't wait to see the art! The siblings all look really good, especially Elise/Sakura!

    Something to keep in mind about the new Ryoma. He breaks 2 orbs and you aren't breaking an orb when dealing the winning blow. Basically, if the opponent is at 1 orb, you won't win, since there is only 1 to break. That ruling comes from the Cipher FAQS page.

    And that Leo art...um...don't recall that part of his uniform lol.

    There's no real difference between Soleil and Inigo besides what color you intend to play in your deck.

    If Soleil supports herself, she doesn't gain the +10, so there's no real difference between having 5 male Inigos in the deck or not.

    Oh, agreed, but now one can make the deck black and something else instead of it having to be blue and something else, which is a game changer. You can now change up the females in your harem to allow for more variety.

    Sleeves for October 30

    Not quite. They are meant to protect your cards, yes, but you are supposed to play with your cards while in sleeves. The art here is what will be replacing the backs of your cards. Tournaments force you to use sleeves as they make it so marks (aka cheating) are less likely to happen, both intentional and unintentional.

    Yep. CCS is very limited and should mostly only be played as a MC ability as it is usually better to play the promoted unit as a normal one and keep the unpromoted unit in hand to crit/evade with instead of having to deal with a random draw. I love Camilla's effect, too, but that limits her usefulness. I guess if you wanna be able to force an evade or kill it. Of course, now that black has an Inigo (likely to make an all-female deck viable), Camilla got a lot more useful. Inigo decks play a lot of fliers for their great support power and this would likely be no exception.

    Archers are common just due to fliers being common, so Camilla will be zapped by that. This is especially the case as archers are even better in this set. Zero looks cool (hoping for a promotion!) and Setsuna is just great. She is a staple in any white deck that has room for her, as far as I can see. May have only 30 defense, but she doesn't need CCS and attacks for 60 from the back (90 on fliers!).

    And sorry for snapping a bit, I'm just feeling a bit irritated about someone saying "it doesn't exist!" when I know it's there as I was the one who did the effort and put it there and I'm the only one who makes the new entries for the wiki, so it can just get to you, you know? I'm glad Vincent fixed it.

    Yes, any actions besides Deploying can be performed in the Action Phase, in any order.

    Deploying is done in the Deployment Phase, which is just before the Action Phase. Otherwise, yes it can be any order, but note abilities like cost 1 Marth that need to be the first action in that phase.
