Big Smoke

Got a bad case of too-many-swords syndrome... All my favorite characters that are candidates for my next 4-5 promotion are Red Swords. Like, it's not okay. I have no 5-Star Green Units, and only one 5-Star blue unit (M!Robin, who sadly is -ATK) And I just bombed 20 orbs on a bunch of useless 3-stars to boot! Is anyone else having this problem?

I do not have Nino. Thanks for the response

Numbers... head... owwie... This stuff is awesome. All you guys doing tests and numbercrunching deserve a trophy

Simple question: +SPD/-ATK Raven, Deal or No Deal? Trying to figure out who my next 5-Star promotion will be. Raven is 4* level 40, and has had a place on my team for a while. I have NO 5-Star Green Units, so I was considering him. That -ATK is offputting, but I'm not sure if there are skills (or just Brave Axe lol) that can make up for it. Thanks for any input! if I don't promote him it's Jeorge and he's a powerhouse right now with a dancer sooo

And your point is...? Seems to me like there was no good reason to post this, it's literally just a complaint which, mind you, is kinda inaccurate, considering all the things others are spending their time doing, even besides grinding

Probably Azura. She's a very strong unit in the current Meta. And like Vaximillian said, this probably belongs in another thread already created here comes the eclipse hammer

Didn't mean doesn't take damage with "doesn't care about getting hit" I meant doesn't care because his purpose is to get one or two quick kills and leave, not to survive lol. Either way nice joke lol

Hello all, today I am asking for some help with building my characters well. I'll list what I want with each character, and hopefully somebody can help me out, because I'm still kinda new with the whole SI thing. Here's the list. • Roy, +Spd/-HP | I kinda want him as a rusher, and/or suicide unit. Someone that can do a lot of damage and doesn't care about getting hit. Looking for C skill and replacement A skill, probably Life and Death. • Ike, and I didn't get his IV when I pulled him :( | I'm just looking for Ike to be an absolute nigh-unkillable powerhouse, looking for a good C skill. That's all for now, might add more. Hope I can get some good advice ^_^

Pulling Ike on my second try and last five orbs after the World of Radiance banner came out. Wow

I was thinking about my current team, two swords, an axe, and a blue mage, and was wondering what the most optimal composition is. Balanced, with one of each color? One of each movement type? Or does it really matter? I want some input. What kind of team do you find the most success with? Note that only hero movement, weapon, and element matter, not the hero itself.

I swear if the "Summer Swimsuit" focus has Camilla, Tharja, Kagero, and like, Olivia... please just let us see someone else's boobs already Honestly though, I like those event ideas. Just imagainig people in silly sheet ghost costumes and such for Halloween... *gasp* can we get Nino in a witch hat? and takumi in a dunce cap

Wow You sir have won the award for best title since SF was created. Whoever had the award before must cede it to you

Roy Roy Roy Almost entirely his art alone makes me want to make him 5-Star next. I also like AKIRA and Yamato Akhiro (is that it? Jagen, Gunter, Ogma, etc.) their styles are nicely different in a largely anime-looking game

Hehe. Hehe. Heh. die hinestly I wouldn't mind. I prefer his RD design, but I like both of his designs. Depends on skill differences and/or artwork. Who knows, maybe PoR Ike would be better? Actually, I think a cool thing would be if there are two version of one hero (Tiki for example) the younger one could "promote" into the older/more experienced one once they reach a certain level/Hero Merit. That could allow for fair collection of different heroes (as older would replace younger, maybe even be level 1 with current rarity) and possibly provide a cool use for Hero Merit. Because I swear if they add RD Ike and he doesn't have his crazy unique Aether animation... RIP me

I just pulled Ike on my second try! I'm so excited!!! I threw on Never Gonna Give you Up, prayed to Lord RNG-sus and chanted "We like Ike, We like Ike" over and over and IT HAPPENED. WOW First impressions... looking at stats/skills... Great unit, but... Gonna take a LOT of SP investment. 5-Star pull he comes with New Moon oddly enough, so there's 800 SP right there (Luna 300, Aether 500. Sighh. Makes sense though since with all skills he can potentially get Aether in one turn.) Heavy Blade and SB are normal amount of SP investment, so that seems heartening. I just hope there's some feature soon to get extra SP

EDIT didnt realize it wasn't out until 4/26, just saw the update and assumed it was out lmao

Greetings all Today, let's talk about those small little design details in Fates that make you smile, or just add to the immersion. For example, my avatar thas reclassed as a ninja just walked into the hotspring, only to leave... by doing backflips out the door! Ninja-style! Has anyone else noticed any small details like these?

And at that point it's not worth it

Takumi Honestly though, probably Reinhardt. All that movement combined with automatic double attacks is so annoying. Olwen is the same, but I've hardly seen her in arena.

True, but I wasn't talking about gameplay hehe. The whole unlucky trope? Y'know

Alright. Apologies for being late, I was asleep. Laslow is all about flirting, and big poppa is all about biggie attracting girls. And he usually fails in his flirts so Queen asking "can't somebody find me somebody to love" felt appropriate. Niles grew up in slums and a life of crime. He stole in order to survive, so a song about being in a gangster's paradise your whole life seemed like it fit Karel has this weird obsession with killing, saying things like "feast Blade, feast!" And the like. As such, a song in which the main lyrics are "let the bodies hit the floor" and in which those lyrics are repeated numerous times fits his personality best. Navarre talks to nobody, and when he does it's very brief. He prefers to be alone. Therefore, song with a hook that goes "I stand alone" Hector. Obviously there's the joke about him being unkillable, so a song that goes "shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium" seemed quite fitting Sophia is always winded. The song's hook is "take my breath away". Little goof there Beruka is only ever concerned with the mission she's on, and the song is called "back on a mission" Takumi. "Get stupid" was chosen because he's stupidly powerful. There's also a lyric in the first verse that goes "when we pull up to the light, the people all stare. Four _____ in the benz with the dreadlock hair" and that felt fitting because if you see a team of four Takumis, there's pretty much nothing you can do and you just stare. "Who shot ya? Separate the weak from the obsolete" kinda explains itself, Takumi has a bow, bows shoot, he's probably the most powerful bow user. Sharena, there's a running gag about her obsession with Kiran, so a song that goes "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down" was appropriate. Also I felt the need to include a meme song and thought "who would this fit?" "Ah, sharena!" Gaius has an obsession with candy. Pour some sugar on me. Yep.

Nice to the previous ones, here's one more before I hit the hay Gaius

(Was originally going to post this on the Fates board so I didn't make 3 heroes topics in one day, but it felt more fitting here) In case anyone doesn't know what SpotifFyre Emblem is, it's this serious of videos created by a youtuber (Mamodxx I believe? Something like that) in which playlists are made for Fire Emblem characters. Usually they consist of 3-4 songs. Sometimes they're legitimate for the character's personality or gameplay, like something about being Bulletproof for Hector, or being a joke, like Darude Sandstorm for Fuga (You'll only get it if you've played Fates) So I figured, "let's all get together and put together songs for characters". Some simple layout rules: You can post as many songs as you want. Format should be somewhat similar to this: Character Name And that's it. Hope to see some creative stuff :) I'll start off with a few... Laslow Niles Karel Navarre Hector Sophia Beruka Takumi Sharena That's all I'll post for now, gods know I'll find more. If there's a reference you don't get, feel free to ask about it. Can't wait to see what songs everyone thinks should belong on a playlist for each character!

Quite true, maybe just with friends. I was kinda annoyed when me and my friend were both new to the game and we found out we couldn't play against each other. I like the idea of boon/bane rerolls that cost hero feathers. I also like only favorited heroes showing up on the home screen. And if you don't have enough favorites (along with you current team like it is now) random ones will be thrown in.

With the April update having come out recently, with Seals, repositioning and all that jazz, I figured I'd start a topic for everyone to brainstorm about what we'd like to see in future updates. It can be soon, or it can be far in the future. Maybe a Nintendo employee will come across this, so let's get down as many ideas as possible! Firstly, I'd like to see Ike in the game. They have the GALL to put him on the title screen, but not IN THE GAME?? RAAAAGEEEEE!!! But in all seriousness, it would be great to see him, along with his Aether animation, which brings me into my next point: Unique animations. Besides their designs, most characters look the same in combat. It gets stale. You'd think an outlaw/assassin would shoot a bow differently than a professionally trained archer. All with his left-handedness and Zephiel's spinny-flare-things are a great start, and I'd love to see more. Live multiplayer. Arena is great for challenging battles, but wen better would be real-time battles against players worldwide. Could do a similar thing to Arena wth ranks and weekly rewards or something like that. And that is a good transition into the next thing... Friendly battles. Let's us have battles with our friends, live and not. It would be a great thing to just bring people together and play against each other to showcase heroes and improve strategies. Then real competitive rings and tournaments could be formed. Heck, there's already tier lists, and those are used in competitive games to judge usefulness of weapons/characters/etc. Pair up mechanics. Now, this is a large maybe, as it may be too OP. Since you can only have four units on the field, actual pair-up would seem pointless. However, of two units are adjacent to each other, it would be cool to have a weakened attack from the unit that isn't attacking. Because if the nature of Heroes, it may have to be 30% of original damage, or lower, opposed to half damage like it was in Fates (and I'm pretty sure Awakening too, I don't think the proportion changed) That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to post anything! Can be characters, abilities, weapons, etc, or something bigger like mechanics or game modes (we already know Defense and Reinforcements will be coming a la notifications) Can't wait to see everyone's ideas
