There's never much I can complete with just my favorites though. I don't like how the game tries to make me ditch them and use characters I don't give a damn about. I'm sorry.
See this is why I say put the game away for awhile.
I have a friend who, when the game first came out, completed everything she could in those first couple of weeks, and ended up quitting. She hadn't gotten many of the characters she liked and was board so she quit until the Easter event. She picked it up again, managed to get some of the characters she likes and with the mechanics that had been added since she had last played has been enjoying it ever since. But she's had to work for it and be patient. She used a bunch of characters that she does't like but it's like a stepping stone. She's been figuring out how to make the characters she likes work using SI and graciously taking the losses when they come.
QuoteAnd I don't like being forced to use many units. I want to stick with who I've trained up. Not be forced to bench them after all the work I put into them. Frederick especially. He went from a lowly 3 star to a 5 star with a bunch of good inherited skills. And if I can't use him because I need other units instead, I feel like I wasted my time and resources. I don't try to look for the negative in anything, I always try to find the positive. But sometimes I just don't see a positive.
Okay. I don't believe you have to bench any unit permanently. I've got a Seliph that I've put a ton of work into and who has been my main red ever since I got him. Last week I got Ike and I've been using him instead. I love Ike but Seliph has become one of my favorite units and I was sad to take him off of my main team. But you know what? Just with the new defense maps I've found reasons to bring him back. Even if you take Fredrick off of your main team for a while it's not like you don't have him anymore. There will always be situations where he'll end up being useful. You just have to be patient.
Seriously take a chill pill. Deep breath, drink some tea/coffee, go for a walk, take a nap. Don't loose your mind over a mobile game.

...What?
And I'm sorry, but I'm just not finding this game much fun anymore. Stop trying to force me to play it, please (if this isn't your intent, fine, but you're coming off that way).
I'm not trying to force you to play it, I'm sorry if I came off that way. I'm just trying to encourage you to step away at least for awhile. Sometimes it's hard to see past the frustrating stuff. I get that, it happens to everybody. Quitting might be for the best for you right now. Just keep in mind that you can always come back to it later on and enjoy it again.

boy it is like clockwork with you isn't it?
I stand by what I said last week. Delete the game off your phone for a week or so and take a break. A fresh perspective could be just what you need.
-
I think I've pulled Hinata once waaaay back before skill inheritance so I think I sent him home. I have not gotten him since and I could really use the fury fodder for like three units...
-
Was pretty hype when I saw Seliph get added to the game despite not really having a clue what his home game was like. Even more hype when I summoned him on my first try! Better still I think he probably has one of the best possible natures for Seliph with +Spd/-Res.
I had some retroactive hype when saw people struggling with the Michalis GHB I realized I had beaten the lunatic battle while half asleep on my first try. It just struck me as particularly amusing. Especially after the trouble I had on Ursula's map...
I'm still super excited about pulling both Soren and Ike within a day of each other! I love them so much oAo
-
I've been using Seliph/mRobin/Michalis + Olivia/bonus unit for the past month or so and before that the only diffrence was Narcian instead of Michalis. Seliph gets a bad rap as "the worst sword lord" but I've honestly found him to be great overall, although it helps a lot I think that mine is +spd so he doesn't get doubled quiet as often as most. When skill inheritance first happened I stuck bowbreaker on Robin just for a bit of extra overkill, this has since been replaced with swordbreaker and we are still having a great time. Michalis is just a wonderful tank with wings. Swords? bows? other axes? So long as it isn't a mage Michalis has me covered.
Just since last weekend I'm also experimenting with Soren/Ike/mRobin + Dancer/bonus unit. Because I love Soren and Ike and branching out it fun! Ike is unfortunately -atk so he gets to be basically glued to Soren who I gave rally attack until I can be bothered to stick hone attack on him. Robin is still doing his thing same as ever, although I would kind of like to replace him with someone else just for the sake of variety.

Well, I still don't really have a reason to delete the game if there's any chance I'll go back to it.
The reason I suggest deleting the game is just to enforce the break for yourself and avoid the temptation to play before your break is over. I've had to do that in the past for things like this myself.

...If I delete the game, I delete the data too. :/ I might want to simply go look at it once in awhile.
But yeah, I know, it is rather a shame. After what I spent, I couldn't do well...
As long as you have your Nintendo account linked you can get your data back as is. That's how people who have had to get new phones or delete the game because of glitches keep their original units.
10 minutes ago, Anacybele said:That's two out of hundreds of units that I decided not to use... Surely there are better options for me? And it isn't even just that Cecilia is too weak, I don't have the resources to use her. She requires some inheritance.
Oh no of course there are always going to be alternatives that work/you like better. But in a game like this you have to work which what you get until that better option comes along. You just need to be patient.

You know what? I think I'm just done with this whole game. For real. All I get is frustrated and wasted resources (using my crests only to lose in the arena, using my stamina only to lose). I just can't get good enough units or gameplay skill or something. It's too difficult and I will never understand how other people can do so well in it. Because no matter what I do, I can't. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'd rather just stop and not worry about it.
I don't wish for anyone to try to help me, because I've made my decision. People already tried to help me anyway, and it did nothing for me (as much as I appreciate the effort).
After all the money you've spent on this game it's really a shame.
I think you would beifit from taking a break. Delete the game off your phone for ahile and come back to it in a week or two with a fresh attitude.

If life gives you lemons...
I turned two -Atk 5* Effies and the 4* I had into this engine of destruction.
Death cometh for all unfortunately placed red!!

Yeah, but no thank you.
Well it's all up to you in the end.
Just remember: variety is the spice of life!
SpoilerI'm sorry it seems appropriate I couldn't resist. -

Sorry, but she's +HP, -Res. That's very bad for her because then she's easily killed by ANYTHING. I'd rather wait and see if I pull a different Nino.
Eirika's not great either. This new 5 star is -Atk. So Rezzy did strike. She'll just sit and do nothing along with Chrom.
The thing with Nino is that she is designed to murder things in one round. I have a -def Nino and even being counter attacked once by most bows and daggers is t much of an issue. The minus -res would only matter if you were sending her up against red mages that she couldn't one shot for some reason. Just give her a chance and she should pay off
-
Here's the thing though, if Soren were a girl I feel like a lot of this argument would not exist. Ike, like it or not does not really have a definite "canon" love interest. Most of the subtext with Elincia was added through the localization, and the way both versions of Soren were can very easily be read as romantic.
Beyond that I think your own personal interpretation of Ike is all the more anyone has to go on. My interpretation is that Ike would never end up with Elincia mostly because she is justifiably devoted to her country and Ike's dislike of titles and nobility prevents any sort of romantic relationship between them.
The whole "paring two guy best friends" is about as recent as the lolcat memes. It was around before the internet and it will die when board teenagers stop looking towards stories as a form of entertainment. :/
Oh god I just referenced lolcats in 2017... finals really are getting to me!
-
Wow okay that was a total breeze! Got both hard and lunatic in my first try with an experimental team of Soren, Ike, mRobin and Olivia.
This map was made for mages!
Olivia danced Soren up to kill the lance. Ike repositioned him out of harms way, then Ike tanked the green mage and Xander (couldn't ORKO sinking -atk). Robin then cleaned up Xander and then other sword and my only trouble was not realizing the healer had wings of mercy and so I spent an extra turn chasing him around because he ended up out of range. :U

Congrats two 5* in one pull are always great! Besides Azuras function is not necessarily that of a fighter.
Yeah I'm mostly just glad to have some variety for my dancer line up other than just the five+ Olivia's sitting around....
1 hour ago, Rezzy said:I see the curse of - Atk has spread.
Your curse has spread, but it has not taken over!
+Atk/-Res! I need to put a stop to my summoning for awhile I think. I need to quit while I'm ahead with the four 5*'s I've summoned in the past few days :P
-
Well shadowofchaos might not have gotten Azura but I somehow managed to! And she came with one of her sisters. Hello Hinoka #2 with a worse nature.
Azura is +spd/-atk. I hope this doesn't become my new 5* trend. The Ike I got a few days ago was the same...
On a different note I am like seven different kinds of done with Palla and Sophia. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
-
I decided to do a before class summon with my leftover orbs from last night. First one :
YES MY LUCK HELD OUT!!!
Although @Rezzy your -ark luck seemed to have rubbed off on me cause he is -atk/+spd. Which is kind of a wired one but I can work with it!
-
1 hour ago, Rezzy said:
I'll trade you my -Atk Soren.
Ah but then I would have a much harder time achieving my goal of murder mage Soren!
Seriously though your streak of -atk is ridiculous... Do you have any 5* that you haven't promoted that have anything other than -atk?
-
So I've had a really crappy day. Pulled an all nighter, been running on an hour of sleep, had one really crappy presentation. So I decided to throw a bit of money at the game in a delirious fit of self pity and poor money management ...
AND I GOT SOREN YES DAY REDEEMED!!!
Even better he's Atk+/-Res!!Also of note I got two 4* Erika's a +Spd/-Hp and +Res/-Def... I know which of those I'll be training up! Aaaaand a Neutral 4* Tharja
SpoilerNow I just need my luck to not completly die before the banner runs out so I can get Soren's
bestboyfriend pfff -
Aaaaa I want to do another pull so bad but I am stuck at a measly 12 orbs and I am definitely not letting myself buy any orbs until I get done with my school work this week...
My summon from last night did get me a +res/-hp 5* Fae! That leaves just Ninian for my dragon collection that'll probably happen someday.... but now I just want Soren and Iiiiiiiiiike!
-
Okay so I was about to go to bed but this has given me such a ridiculous rush of adrenaline that it looks like I'll be writing my essay for a while longer. Thanks Nintendo!
I will maybe break out my wallet for this if I can get my school stuff done by the end of the week. I want Soren and Ike so bad! ono
-
I've been running Seliph, mRobin, Michalis/Narcian, bonus for weeks.
My problem come pretty much entirely from my inability to deal with mages before they can hit anything before they take out one of my units. Horse Emblem also has proved tricky for me in the past if Reinhardt is in anyway involved.
The mage thing is starting to be a bit less of a problem now that I have a 5*Nino and have started experimenting with how to best work her into the equation. -
This was a fun way to procrastinate away an hour.

Okay I thought so but I wanted to be sure. :P

See that's the attitude to have in a game like this. This is a game intended to last a pretty long time. If Nintendo wants to make it last they have to ration out the characters they introduce. I suspect I will be waiting quite awhile for Erk to be added and my "Grumpy Mage Brigade" to be completed. Patience is always a virtue.
Ha I wish I could give you one of my Hinokas. I've managed to pull two of her. But isn't that how it always goes? :P
I don't believe in completely dropping something just because it's frustrating or giving you trouble. You've gotta pace yourself and know when it's time to step away.
