ninjero

Just drew my third Minerva. One is +Def -Atk, another is +ATK -RES, and the third (fully leveled) is +HP -RES My question is: should I merge them all (probably onto the +ATK -RES one, I presume...?) or burn them for Life&Death on other units?

Thank you very much for this! I figured Minerva's skill would just be for inheritance so I didn't consider using her too - gotta start working on leveling her now! I have both Olivia & Matt - obviously I'd need a handful of feathers to raise them & Nino up to four stars. RIght now I'm saving up for Reinhart's five-star promotion first, but that sounds like a nice intermediate goal. Edit: Also pulled Olwen five star, not that I need her once I promote Reinhardt...

Also managed to pull Minerva off of the Life & Death banner. My question: what should I focus on first, and what other characters/inheritance should I be hoping for at this point? It seems like I have most of a Cavalry team with Cecilia / Reinhardt / Priscilla (maybe add Eliwood?). I also have been using Ike / Sanaki / Ninian / Nino (though she's only at 3 stars) but that team feels pretty lopsided, and I have some flyers (Shanna, Florina, Palla) but not great triangle coverage. (PS - I just started a few weeks ago so I'd rather enjoy the game a little bit before worrying about min/maxing with natures or getting duplicates for extra stats. Assume everyone's neutral)

Was getting a little tired of this game and then... Glad I was saving orbs for this. Actually exited out of my first Hero banner pull because I noticed there wasn't any reds or blues, but got also Shanna from it: Guess I've got some work to do.

Thank you for all of this feedback! I think the best plan sounds like either a well-rolled Klein, an excellent 5* off-banner, or waiting for the 28th to see what the new banners are. That last one depends on my luck. In the process of re-rolling but might give up for the night pretty soon. I managed a double roll (did the first 10 or so quests) with Donnel + Shanna + Lon'qu + Mae, who are all A+ or above but aren't mentioned here. I assume there are plenty of A+ & S characters that aren't as beginner friendly? None of them were waifu material, so I trashed them anyways. I'd also probably stick with someone like Lyn, Nowi or Camilla just because they seem reasonably powerful (especially Lyn) + I like the characters. Obviously same with Tharja. Though as it is, most of my favorite FE characters seem not to be in the game yet (Nephenee, Say'ri, Severa etc) so that's sort of why I'd rather just roll for someone that makes the early grind incredibly easy. Edit: Got neutral-natured Reinhart + Nino. Seems like a fairly reasonable start ^.^

Thank you for this! It seems like I shouldn't worry too hard about waiting for a good banner to reroll for Tharja & Reinhardt then. I am a fan of Tharja, so I'd probably opt for her. How long would I probably have to wait for a "broken" unit to come up on a banner? Do they have "Players Choice" banners or the like? Like I said, I'm willing to sit on my hands. If I aim for a Tharja + some other sauce it sounds like I probably wouldn't be too disappointed, but from experience, it sounds like I should maybe wait and use my opportunity to reroll so I can get an optimal 5* ?

I'm behind on my real FE gaming as well (only played Blazing Blade, PoR, & Awakening) so getting my waifu isn't necessarily AS important... Reinhart seems like a really random character though

Been waiting to play this game for a while now, since I figured the meta would change dramatically in the first 6 months or so. Now that the game's been out for some time, I'm hoping to take the dive pretty soon. One of the things I've noticed is that there isn't clear documentation on here about the current/upcoming banners. As a new player but experienced f2p gacha gamer, I want to make absolutely sure I'm rerolling on the best banner before I start. Since the game is still less than a year old I'll inevitably still might run up against powercreep, but I'm hoping to mitigate it at least a little bit by starting with some heroes with awesome staying power. Is there a banner going right now that's great, or should I sit on my hands a bit more 'till something truly awesome shows up?
