I don't think it's necessary. My mom once told me "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

It depends on how heavily your team relies on them. If you can fend for yourself and just have a dancer/singer for cheeky strats like 3 Takumis and Azura then maybe not. But if you often find that you might not have been able to win with them at all then you should. Also lower stars and stat totals affect your arena score. Healers are definitely not worth it because they can't double as assistance as well as dancers anyway, but having one at four stars is good.

They should give a limit to the amount of orbs you can buy each month or alternatively give newcomers a free non-focus 5 star to make things a little more even.

Yeah I did one summon then I realized these heroes are no where near as good as the other ones. Ephraim is basically a glorified Oboro without a heavy spear.

If it was easy to get 5 stars like that, then instead of people spending 75 dollars on buying orbs for randoms, they'll have 5☆+25 Lyns and lucinas. Then this game would be straight pay to win.

Compared to other games, I think the summoning system is fine. As an example, in summoner's War the chances of getting a 5 star from a 3-5 star scroll is less than 2%. In this game you have a 3 percent chance of getting any random 5 star and a 3 percent chance of getting a focus for a total of 6 percent AND the chances increase by .25 every 5 summons. All one can do is be patient. Some people have 0, others 7, and I have 2. I do agree that orbs will be a problem but I refuse to pay anything in this game.

When I summoned my Lyn about a week and a half ago, I also got Gordon and Serra (4 stars). I already had Oboro at 3, then got her to 4 and that was my main team, Oboro, Lyn, Gordon, and Serra. I got a 5 star Robin 3 days ago and mm some n other things in between. My question is who to keep and who to send home, and what other good teams can I make with the units that I have now, cause my current team is okay but doing advanced in Arena is a chore and half. Took a pic of all my (relevant) units.

I have 2 5 stars, a -Def/+HP Lyn and a -Res/+HP Robin. Both of those aren't really that good but it doesn't matter to me, since they both take a little bit more damage I just use a healer. Whether you have a good bane/Boon shouldn't dictate the use of a 5 star. Because even though they may have a bad combo, it's the other things that matter more (skills weapons team comp). Not to mention the fact that anything at five stars will always be good despite the bane/boon. All you have to do is make a team around the issues. So I don't think a reroll system is necessary. Even if it was and it used feathers or orbs there would be no point because after you beat the game and the app-release bonus is over, getting orbs in game would be child birth. And there is the issue of feathers which are already child birth to obtain, unless you are better than the top 50,000 in the game or something. It is a good idea, though, and I would do it if it cost skill points, just because that makes more sense.

I want 100 Stamina

Just do what I did, forget about Olivia. She was okay when I had her at the beginning but then I just said forget about it.

Ah, don't you just love surprises? This is exactly what I need to level 40 my Gordo

@Ryuke is right. I just went up to chapter 9 normal then did chapter 1 - 4 hard. Went back and beat normal, did up to chapter 8 hard, started lunatic (up to chapter 4). And by then I did enough arena and grinding to get my team to 36+ and just finished off hard. Now I have 3 chapters left in the game or should I say 15 free orbs left. Saving them for a rainy day or a better focus. I wouldn't really stress out about adventure until the next focus cause this one isn't as good as the first 2.

Sacred stones is my favorite game, but the dialogue doesn't really make a difference to me. I just like how they made Ephraim look a little more grown up in this game.

You should ask permission more often

I had peri at the beginning of the game as one of my first 4 stars. I used her to get off to a good start but then I got Oboro and realized, she talks big for a completely useless weakling. But this is why they say "no new friends" Cause now I'm addicted and I just can't get enough :(. I am going to send her home but it's gonna hurt, literally. It'll be like ripping your own heart in half, unless she rips it first . . . . .

A full green team might not be so good considering the most powerful units in the game are red. I would say keep your five stars until you can see who has the stats (bane and boon) that better suit your team.

@Anacybele Im sure you know already but it's almost as if Nintendo has read your frustrations. Their extending the free orbs, and in march they're gonna make leveling easier too XD. It's like Fils-a-mech and Sugaru read this exact forum post and were like "yknow anacybele is right, this game should be a little easier" lol

This free 1 to 3 star summon every week basically exists except they give you 2 hero maps everyday (Felicia Donnel Olivia sophia etc.) Adding a 1 - 3 summon would just be unnecessary. A free summon every 2 days is not a bad idea though. In fact it's pretty great. Nice way to actually get a steady flow of feathers potentially, considering there is a 36% chance of getting a 4 star and 6% for a 5 for a total of 42% chance of getting something "good" or 150+ feathers.

Could be real, might not be real. All I know is, not counting free orbs from special maps, I only have about 23 orbs left from the chapters so I might as well.

Well let's be serious, Robin has no defense and his resistance is okay unless it's his bane which basically makes him a feather. And Anacybele's Robin is 3 stars so it's even worse. But I agree with what you say about Anna. The thing I don't like about brave weapons in general is the -5 speed. I feel like you would be better of using a silver ax if you're just basically going to throw away your speed stat for a WHOPPING 8 might.

I watch too much Full metal alchemist

Alright here's the strats. 1. Not attacking first and letting them attack you so this way the next turn you won't take repercussions. 2. Sending people in to die on Purpose so someone else can sweep 3. Letting far range people hit you to get your skill, like letting a mage hit Alphonse for Sol/daylight. 4. Instead of rushing into battle let the enemy come to you. They see what you see so they will always try to line up according to effectiveness i.e. if the enemy has takumi and u have a flying unit they will move towards that direction then at the last second you can juke and switch out the flying unit for someone else and surprise headcrack the takumi. There are other tactics too like (near) infinite heal xp stalling.

I beg to differ, 3 stars are mm just as good as anything once you get them to 4. Hmph!

Never said Frederick sucked, and I did not mean to imply it. Also I only used Camilla as an example. Saving up is gonna take a while, as you already know. Getting a five star is quite literally game changing but you're still going to have to deal with his bad resistance. I think getting 3 to 4 is a lot easier and better than 4 to 5 because you never know what you're gonna get from a summon. But if that's what you want go ahead. You should still seriously think about corrie though, her 4 star could definitely help you out :x
