Here is my FTP/F2P story playing Fire Emblem Heroes. .
Having seen many Reddit posts about spending money to buy orbs and still not getting their Ike's, I realized there is an extra sense of satisfaction in being FTP/F2P when one does pull an Ike (Insert any super character). .
Since the launch of the game, there have been countless banners tempting me to buy orbs. It took extreme self control not to, especially when having saved up FTP/F2P orbs and still not rolling the 5 star units I wanted. I remember the Bride banner and the 1st Hero Fest banner absolutely left me devastated after using a lot of saved FTP/F2P orbs, 150+, and not even getting any one of them. Instead got some duplicate Seliphs, Marths and Jaffars. .
However, luck evens out in the long run and I feel satisfied with my character roster now. Whilst still being a determined FTP/F2P player. I have 107 of the 159 characters available(67.3%), with 35 unique 5 stars (32.7% of my roster) and 4 duplicates. .
This coming from a FTP/F2P player just goes to show how generous the makers of Fire Emblem Heroes have been. I am so grateful to IS and Nintendo for creating this game as it is. It is the only game I play now, and each day makes me feel a bit brighter just logging in. I love this game. To the people of Nintendo, thank you so much if you can see this post. You give people hope for a better day. .
Whilst everyone has their own goals to achieve within the game, let's all share it here to give everyone more game project ideas that are FTP/F2P. My project within the game is to continue being FTP/F2P whilst building my Catalog of Heroes roster to over 80% in a year's time. All my units are original with no SI and will stay that way. While doing that, I use the feathers to level to 5 stars the characters that are given to us that can't be summoned, thus lowering duplicates in the future. All 3 and 4 star duplicates are sent home for feathers. IVs and merging are not the focus for me when building my Catalog of Heroes roster. .
Eight 5 Stars (Given in the game, had to feather) Alfonse, Sharena, Anna, Michalis, Camus, Zephiel, Xander, Ursula (All Feathered) .
Five 5 Stars (Summoned 4 stars, had to feather) Nowi, Marth, Cordelia, Kagero, Nino (All Feathered) .
Twenty 5 Stars (Summoned 5 stars, no need to feather) Jeorge, Merric, Clair, Eldigan, Julia, Reinhardt, Seliph, Raven, Ninian, Rebecca, Jaffar, Eirika, Sanaki, Summer Tiki, Bunny Lucina, Hinoka, Bunny Xander, Summer Elise, Luke, Ike (No feathers required) .
Two 5 stars (Given in the game, no need to feather) Tobin, Masked Marth (no feathers required) .
My only big mistake in the game so far is to have feathered a 4 star Marth to 5 star, and in my next 5 star summon, it was another Marth. 20 000 feathers wasted! .
I just want to say again. I LOVE THIS GAME and the community! Videos, Art, Discussions, all so awesome. And since this month is about trying to entice new players to join us, I felt new players can read this and take heart from it in creating their own quests in Fire Emblem Heroes. .
