I actually go five above until I can't. Haven't spent a single Shard or Crystal yet. If I need a high stratum reset, I train another team at a lower stratum. I treat my main team as "Jeigans" that I don't care about losing since they're not getting EXP anyways. Main focus is keeping the trainee alive and get at least a couple kills in. Patience is key.

I'm replacing Marth for Camilla to test out my defense wins. Current team: 5* Marth, 5* Robin, 4* Abel, 4* Olivia. It's 1-1 so far (though the Camilla win has the higher score). I'm not gonna be deceptive and put Olivia in front.
Now it's time for the test.

I gotta say: having Camilla trained me on how to use Narcian. Basically, he's hiding on the map. The key difference is that Camilla did have some contribution every once in a while. It's the same case for Narcian except he has less stats (being a 4* instead of 5*) and less usability since lances aren't as common and he doesn't have Brave Axe. I haven't given him the Emerald Axe just in case.
Pretty sure I'll be able to get a high score come the second or third runs. Now that we know how bonus characters work, it's a lot more doable for me. Replacing Narcian for Camilla didn't knock my average score much (630 score a match roughly). I'm still competent enough for a 3v4 encounter.
You know? If anything, my team hasn't changed. I'll probably be able to earn back the 2K feathers I spent on Narcian--and now I know how he works. Less useful than Camilla but eh. That's to be expected.

Yeah, it seems double blue is doing good. I added Abel and never replaced him since I would at least get three defense wins by the end of a season. Abel eats Swords and he can work independently, so AI doing crap can't mess him up too bad, I would think.

1. An artist who likes kids. Just from game posts, you seemed like a sincere person not afraid to say your opinions.
2. A great novelist! That or work on a video game in some way.
3. I'm not big on kids but people think I work well with them and could be a good parent. I don't plan to have any but if my partner wanted one or two, I guess that would be fine.
4. Final Fantasy X-2. The gameplay itself is fast-paced and it can be fun if you don't pay attention to the story or characters. I understand its flaws and why people get upset though.
5. Not so much "hate" as much as I don't get what makes it a big deal: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I played this much later in my life so it may be I didn't play it at the right time. It's still a good game in its own right but the charm is probably lost on me.

Favorite desert?
A newer game you want to try?
Favorite lord in the series?
Things you'd like to see updated in Heroes?
An art style that you greatly disliked?
1. I assume dessert. Fried ice cream if I want to spoil myself. Regular ice cream, mochi ice cream, or green tea ice cream's just as good.
2. Gaiden 2.0
3. Ike, Sigurd, or Marth.
4. Edit teams in battle screen.
More Orb and Feather quests5. Dislike? Hm. I'm not a big fan of Jojo's style but it has a lot of artistic merit so I can't really dislike it on a technical level. The earlier ryukishi07 artwork (first versions of Higurashi, for example) are bad but I find them hilarious. In Higanbana, it starts to shape up and fits the atmosphere even if they are still chubby like no other.
7 minutes ago, Jotari said:The YA series? How did you find that? Personally I found it relatively engaging but I had absolutely zero desire to pursue the rest of the series upon finishing the first book.
Yes. I was intrigued to see what the fuss was about. I haven't finished but it's been okay so far, but not enough for me yet to think I'd continue reading the rest. Using it to study the YA genre in general.

1. Non-FE related: Persona 3 FES or Tales of Symphonia. Until Dawn is also up there.
2. Path of Radiance for favorite. Genealogy of the Holy War for second.

They do, apparently. I had three of the four and accrued 630 an Advanced match. Though some people say having one is enough or more is better. It's hard to say which it is.
I'm doing a safe run with the team I'm comfortable with. Once Narcian is up Level 40 and 4*, I'll test it out in my two other runs, probably replacing Camilla if his stats are similar to hers.

Favorite season?
Favorite music artists?
A kind of character archetype you do not like?
Favorite film?
Anything you find overrated?
1. Winter.
2. I listen to songs for songs than for artists. Classical music, trance, jazz, Japanese discofunk, anything more or less instrumental. Utada Hikaru is like the one person I can think of for a name for vocals. Maybe even Michael Jackson.
3. Yanderes or yangires.
4. Huh. Can't say I have an absolute favorite. Battle Royale I remember fondly. Blazing Saddles is hilarious. Terminator's a good action movie. Zootopia and Deadpool were good recent films.
5. Hunger Games--at least reading the books. I found its writing style displeasing, similar to my thoughts on Lord of the Flies. I wasn't particularly fond of the main character either by reading her thoughts. I think it was a bit better on the silver screen, however.

- Favorite demon in the SMT series?
- How long did you need to understand how fusing works in Persona?
- Do you care about the current US politics?
- Any interesting sights close to your location?
- Which countries you have visited yet?
1. Hard to say since I favorite ones based on the game. Cybele's a favorite from Persona 3. Shiki-Ouji because he came out of a fusion mistake early in the game. Hecate from Devil Survivor.
2. Not long. I mainly perused the fusion charts and persona databases (though slightly outdated, as they contain info from vanilla Persona 3, not Persona 3 FES). The best fusion chart explains how Normal and Triple fusion works and gives the Arcana Persona list. It just takes some practice!
3. I should and I'm rather embarrassed I don't as much
4. The bars. Even if you're not there for drinking, there are various bars of different themes that you can have a good time just sitting there and taking in the atmosphere. As for actual sights, there's the mountains for a little snow. The new Ferris wheel lights up with rainbow colors, since we're a city of neon and all. One of the hotel's water shows was always something I liked.
5. Just Mexico.

5.The most beautiful thing you have ever seen?1. I challenged myself to write a novel-sized work to be done in a month (NaNoWriMo). Given how slow and precise I am with wording regarding my work, I'd say forgoing that was both difficult and satisfying. I hope the next greatest achievement is getting that debut novel out.
2. Battle Royale (the novel). More people know of the manga and movies than the actual book.
3. I haven't been reading for a while, but I'm borrowing a friend's book called Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki: And His Years of Pilgrimage. The last thing I was reading was Gone, as I heard it was good.
4. Without family, Portland or Lake Tahoe. Mexico's the farthest with them.

OliverHm, that's a good question. I don't have any that particularly stick out, though any location with clean water always captivates me. I find abstract art and scenery pieces in general beautiful.3 hours ago, Levant Mir Celestia said:1. Opinions of the following:

2. Back in ye olde days, I was using SF for any Fire Emblem information for game mechanics. I don't remember why I finally joined the forums.
3. "Can you name a silly thing?" Answer: DodgeDusk.
4. They really need to start doing third-party support if they want this thing to take off. It sounds like a cool, innovative console but innovation can only get you so far when you're not willing to be open to others and alternative options (turning off motion controls, for example).

how would you rank the FEs that you played?
favorite song in FFVIII?
A game series you enjoy that you believe is "low key?"
Will you raise the question limit?
1. Zelos was just hilarious and had moments he could drop that act entirely and be serious and even pessimistic. Inigo is kind of the same, but it was also inspiring how much he wanted people to be happy. There's something charming about that as people can forget to be happy in the worst of times (Lucina). Or even attempt to find happiness. They're also both massive dorks in their own way. What is even this question?
2. Path of Radiance, Genealogy of the Holy War, Fates: Conquest (gameplay-only), Awakening, Blazing Sword, Binding Blade, Shadow Dragon, Sacred Stones, Radiant Dawn. I'll hopefully have opinions on the other games in time.
3. "Maybe I'm a Lion" or "Man with the Machine Gun."

I stayed at the same offense score but dropped to nearly 19K, last I remember.
Gotta raise Narcian now after spending time and effort on Sharena. Least I got 3K feathers from previous season, but probably won't get much points thanks to a change of bonus characters. Here's to another 2K to go towards Narcian.
-
I get screwed from the split map. Not enough to lose but I've had a couple casualties. My team also likes being supported by others.

Dual blue teams will have problems with Hector, full stop.
I don't use fliers, so Merric isn't an issue. Linde, however. . .she can ORKO my designated mage-killer, and she has color effectiveness against my tank. Linde/Lucina is a pain in the ass to deal with. . .like, I need a good map and positioning. If it's that stupid bridge map, I'll probably lose.
Good thing Hector's still aren't that common for me. I'll be trying dual Blue by replacing Olivia with Sharena after a safe run. My problem's going to be the lack of repositioning. Here's to hoping.
I panic a little on the map where units a split up in twos. My team's focus is around supporting with Spurs and Hones. I still win in the end but might end up with a casualty.
-
Just now, eclipse said:
There's a couple of units that can safely engage Hector on their turn. Notice the words "a couple" - if you don't have those specific units, dealing with Hector is difficult.
Everyone's team composition will have issues dealing with someone or another. Mine is Lucina - Takumi doesn't give me too many issues unless I'm sloppy, and Hector is a free kill. Linde will be difficult, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Yeah. I haven't encountered Hector since adding Marth so at the time it was Camilla, Robin, Olivia, and Abel for my team. Camilla's got -HP so it was never safe for me to be the one engaging Hector. Fighting him in general was good after passing the 80% HP threshold.
My problem actually lies in Merric's and Linde's. Lucina I'm just wary about her Defiant Speed. Merric will tear through Robin and Camilla, and Linde explodes on anyone not Camilla. They tend to be coupled with Takumi's and Lucina's anyways so I have to deal with the whole shebang.

Armads guarantees x2 attacks when he's attacked at >80% HP and he can counter at any range. If you try to initiate at ranged, he'll double up on people.
You essentially can't cheese him with a Tome unless your Tome can take the two hits. More than likely, you're having to have him come to you with an one-range unit, and he already hits hard as is. Your unit better be able to drop his HP below that 80% too.
There's Takumi, who's hard because he's a colorless that can counter at any range. There's Hector, where you don't want to be the initiator in combat until you drop his HP down enough.
Still have an easier time dealing with Hector's than Takumi's.

Offense 4,350 at Rank 16,208 in Tier 3. I lost a character in one match with a team of mostly bonus characters. Trying to raise 4* Sharena to test her for the last season of February.
-
I'm hoping Feathers or Orbs (as extremely rare drops). Right now, the most dedicated people have finished all difficulty variants of the story so the only thing really to do is grind for Badges or Shards/Crystals.
Since they had assigned colors of all these except on Monday, seems they planned something different (maybe waiting for player responses?). Least that's what I hope for.

Level 40 5* Camilla (161)
Level 40 5* Robin (159)
Level 40 4* Olivia (149)
The fourth slot has been changing:
Level 40 4* Abel (147)
Level 40 5* Marth (173)
Miss having Abel's three-movement, but Marth has been synergizing well with Robin, funnily enough.
Currently raising 4* Sharena to test Arena. Too bad I don't have enough feathers for 5*. That Fensalir would be handy.

Just now, Rezzy said:
My question is if I drop Camilla, is who will counter Robin and Kagero? Takumi and Tiki/Lilina definitely not. Abel can sort of counter, but Robin has high Def for a mage.
My only other Green that might pass is Nino. I suppose I could go without a Green, but I want some sort of way to counter Blues and Takumi counters. Kagero v Kagero is a toss-up, as is Kagero v Robin. It would be the same if I swapped in Robin.
Camilla is arrow and red weak, but she fills a pretty good role that no one else in my team can really do, so it's a matter of keeping her safe, until she can swoop in and do her job.
I've been fine with a Robin v. Robin battle, myself. That or Marth pokes Robin to death.
Well, Camilla is a bonus character so I'd keep her if that's the focus. It's a toss-up between Camilla or Nino v. Robin since Camilla has obvious pros but Nino hits Robin where he's weakest (Res). Usually I don't worry about Robin tanking physical hits than I do magical.
My team likes to kill first since they will take a lot of damage if the opponent survives. Might be that we have different Camilla's but I can't rely on mine to tank too many hits (-HP) so she's either killing first or suicide Savage Blow in the most desperate times.
-
I have Camilla. With how the meta is right now, it can be very hard to use her. I'm likely to see all Red teams or teams with mostly Reds and a Takumi. It's just not her time. Keep using her though because she's a maxed out 5* and she's a bonus character.
Though she kind of has to sit in the corner of the mapCurrently experimenting with Marth after replacing Abel. Taken a hit on being able to hard counter Swords, but now Robin... sometimes has a chance to double, thanks to Spur Speed 3. Or just not get doubled. It's actually somewhat of a thing now. Before, pretty much any Takumi I saw doubled my -Spd Robin, so I would end up with upwards of 12 damage. Now Robin will never get doubled except by a boosted Takumi or a +Spd Takumi.
It's funny how -Def Marth and -Spd Robin cover each other with Spurs.
-
Uh, not a mage killer necessarily. An infantry killer, yes.
I'd raise her but only after I consider the rest of my roster not 5* worthy. I'm on 16k feathers so I'd save until I know for sure.
-
Yes. The "in combat" skills are stackable, so I've seen from a reddit image. Multiple Spurs (even of the same stat) can be stacked.

FE5: Dual's Revenge (tm)
11. I hope the wait was definitely worth it. Don't slack off on the difficulty. There's fears of it being held off for another few months and the tone won't fit to the content it's presenting. It's one of the problems I have with Persona 4.
12. I have a bunch! Got myself a list when I'm searching for a specific mood or brainstorming for ideas. But I'll give one: Magical World from Radiata Stories.
13. This interview right now, to be honest.
14.
Aw come on, I have other character art than my favoritesIt was a tough one but I have decided on this:15. It's a possibility. Another blind FE game or one where I ask people for tips along the way. I'd have to be more prepared than what happened with FE6!
1. Might be a while. Been caught up in other games, other duties, and want to come back to FFIV with a fresh mind and more openness.
2. Camilla's an obvious answer so I'll give another: Nyx. Forcing her into the Dark Mage outfit doesn't suit her after reading supports.
3. People who don't use signals while driving.
4. Tea. I never disliked it but I didn't think it was great either. Got older and am enjoying various types of teas. Why did I not try rooibos before?
5. Writing in a calendar or planner. I'm too laid-back. I end up forgetting what I was planning to do for the day.
1. A very passionate nerd. Sometimes gets too passionate during discussion but is reliable if you need to know something. Also see: a massive nerd.
2. Senri Kita's and whoever did the backdrops for Path of Radiance if not her
3. Soren or Jill. They both have a flowing theme. They're practical while being ornate enough to stand out.
4. Honesty, truth, loyalty
5. Hm... I guess I can do something VN-related here: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. Introduces a few concepts I never heard of before.
11. Yes
12. Tingle
13. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. There was that one second I tried, anyways...
14. Nanjo (Persona 1) because of that ridiculous ascot. I haven't played 2 yet so I'll go by design: Tatsuya or Maya. Aigis in Persona 3. Naoto in Persona 4.
15. The graphics look nice.
