I was saying that something like this would happen!
Like I said before, this isn't a fire emblem game, its a gacha game.
Yeah. I guess the true meaning of "gacha game" finally hit me.

Oh, yeah, of course. As a f2p I shouldn't even be complaining about it. But hey, increased summoning %?
That was desperate. Is Echoes doing that bad in Japan?

I didn't like Tharja before. And now that she's on my way of pulling Sanaki I throughly hate her.
C'mon folks. Cheers for team Linde, cheers for team Merric! Let's make this an Archanea finals :D -
Well, full f2p here, and update on hero count
13 total: 11 pulled, 2 promoted.
Reds(6):
Roy, Leo, Lyn, Alm, Zephiel and Ike
Blues(2):
Nowi, Azura
Greens(4):
Fae, Merric, Soren, Soren
Colourless(1):
Jakob
(And to think last time I posted there were only 5...) -
This "Hero Fest" banner just after Ike's is the milking machine. We're really dealing with professional cash-grabbers, folks.
What did you guys think of this move?
I was mad at first, after all I just spent a ridiculous amount of orbs in the Radiance banner, but then I realized I really didn't care about any promotional characters. Most I could do is sacrifice them for skills. But still...

But it's even worse this time
I have my own Tharja ._.
And I have my own Male Robin............
The possible sell-out of this gauntlet is in my possession
I don't know what to do :'(
I think I'll go team Male Robin since I have him at 5 stars anyway. But I must make it to the finals and lose with whoever I choose
I get you. I mean, I was team Camilla last time because I had her (This time I have the whole male cast and none of the females).
Just remember that you don't really need your representative at 5*. The matchup system make pairings easier if your stats are lower (If you got only strong friends in the same team, having lesser stats is actually a boon).
And cheer up people! This may be the first gauntlet without bandwagonning!!
Am I wrong to see the female side as somewhat equals in popularity? -

I don't know which team to go on guys :(
The underdog is gonna be on the guy's team for sure, but I don't really like anyone that much..........
Help
I'd say you should choose a female underdog to cheer on. Or wait for the initial pairings at least, so you don't waste your energy on a round 1 failure (My feel is male team is going to get totally wrecked on round 1 if they do crossed parings).
I'll be on team Merric, though, and would enjoy not being the only Serenes representative there :)

I have three pretty distinct favorites, but there's so much good at in heroes it feels unfair to mention only them
Yamada Akihiro - Do I even need to explain? His style is powerful and easily distinguishable. His art looks so intense I feel like using the characters he draws. AND he draws different poses for attacks and specials to boot. Yamada da man.
Kita Senri - lovely and incredibly detailed artworks. I feel the poses she draws reflect the characters presented really well.
Kaya8 - I really like his/her use of colour and perspective. Characters may look a bit different(younger?) from their originals, but the result looks so nice that I don't mind.
Honorable mentions: П猫R (Eldigan); Takagi Masafumi (Peri, Clair); Arai Teruko (Alm); Wada Sachiko (Barst, Cherche, Marth, Titania, Virion); -

"Hmm. My name? I am the mage Soren. Now, I have a question for you. Is Ike here?"
NO. FOR THE LAST TIME, SOREN, IKE IS NOT HERE.
UPDATE: Guess what, Soren? IKE IS HERE.
250 orbs later, I'm poor again. But I got Ike! Somewhat fitting, I'd say.Spoiler

I didn't really have any trouble with the first three maps. I used mostly a 5* Zephiel overall (and a 4* Cherche for the flying blues on the watery map).
The fourth map is giving me some trouble, though. Gonna try again tomorrow with with a fresh mind (and your generous tips).

Okay, so I like what Ike gets naturally, so he just lacks a C skill and an assist skill for now. I did pull more Selenas trying for him though, so I'll dump Reposition on him.
But what C skill to give him... I want the best Ike mine can be! He's +HP, -res, btw.
Ike is really good nonetheless. I wouldn't discard the option of giving some skill do buff other characters, specially when you already gave him reposition. But that depends on your team composition, mostly. There's characters who just live and die by means of Hone Speed and/or Hone Atk. Reposition Ike seems really good at pulling mages out of the way of a counter, since Ragnell helps him perform on the opponents phase.
If not that, I'd say Threaten Def andThreaten Spdare your best options (Threaten Speedmostly if you take away his swordbreaker, threaten def seems best otherwise).
Scratch that T Spd recommendation. I had +Spd Ike in mind when I said it, sorry.

She's so good it's disgusting.
Zephiel approves.

The +Atk one could always go for a Gronnraven/Triangle Adept build, which is pretty popular (as a red version) on Sanaki and Lilina rn, who both have similar stat spreads to Soren.
Yeah, I'm going to evaluate some matchups to see if he does well enough. I really like this build, but I hadn't drawn a single good mage to try it on yet (just a nice Robin, but my blues are covered). I think this Soren might just remedy some trouble I'm having with pesky blue horsemages.
6 minutes ago, Arcanite said:Welp, now you can do Blade build Soren for kekz if you have a spare Nino
Just slap dat Fury on him and you're set
I'm thinking about it too (It's a shame I've only got the feathers for one skillset). It will probably feel very nice to sac one of those +def Ninos I keep rolling.
You've got a pretty nice Nino, right? I think I saw someone mentioning that a while ago. Does she perform well against other casters like Reinhardt (meaning OHKO)?
Oh, and thanks, both of ya ;) -
2 minutes ago, Arcanite said:
Soren is basically a Nino with more HP and less speed
Build off from there!
You know what's funny? Rolling a -HP/+SPD Soren, that's what
The other one is +ATK/-SPD though. I'm at loss at what to do, really. -
6 minutes ago, kynimdraws said:
ON TOPIC, I wonder if Spur or Threaten is better on Soren....still waiting for Ike. Still not sure how to feel about axing potential PoR-based FEH maps for defense maps but hey, RD is still an option I guess
I'm also curious on how to build Soren. Maybe a Raven/Adept build? Probably going to have do to some math about it to see if he has potential as an archer bane =/

Anyone else like how Watersweep (the magical counterpart to Windsweep), is on a unit with 29 base res? Man, Soren sure needs to avoid magical counters.
Yeah. That's just bizarre. Soren's built to be skillfood material... I think even Zephiels Life & Death is more useful.
I'm sad that I got two of them and I'm having a hard time figuring out a build that's not Nino clone (And I've never even considered using a single one of his skills). Is building up Soren more trouble than it's worth? =/ -

So i cleared the maps on NM and did a session. My first session and I instantly get Mist lol. She's +HP -Atk. Pretty lame I can't give her Saizo's Poison Strike.
I'll do the Hard and Lunatic missions to gather more orbs along with the daily ones and make another complete pull to see if I get her brother!
That's actually a nice Mist, congrats. I know healers aren't usually something to go crazy about, but at least she's got good skills and nature
-
"Hmm. My name? I am the mage Soren. Now, I have a question for you. Is Ike here?"
NO. FOR THE LAST TIME, SOREN, IKE IS NOT HERE.
Just burned through my 240 orbs today. Most pulls were really underwhelming. A ton of Eliwood and Olivia etc etc, don't really need to go into the details.
Managed to grab two Sorens, which may become nice custom Ninos someday. And an !Azura! as well (yeah, best thing of the banner came out of a blue pop, who could say?)
I didn't give up hope, though. Still got 10 orbs! waiting for the next full session

You know, that is a good point. It would be a bit weird if they only had one of the 4 characters per map. Most story maps have around 2 named characters and there is not much overlap until the fifth map. With the 3 most recent banners only having 4 characters instead of 6, maybe IS has had the resources to add in more low-rarity characters, but then the datamines would probably have found them by now unless they're planning on doing a surprise update right before the banner hits.
I think it's quite possible that we get a few new characters aside from the banner ones. It's the first time we're getting a new chapter, after all, and it makes sense that a story chapter would add more characters to the game than a paralogue. I'm just not sure if IS is going to add them to the summon pool right away, or if they're going to save them for something else.
I didn't say anything before because the dataminers didn't find a single trace of it, so I started believing this was just wishful thinking on my part. But a story chapter with only 4 characters in it is a bit underwhelming, ain't it? -

I could forgive people for not knowing some of the more obscure US presidents, like MIllard Fillmore, but Eisenhower was a big part of World War Two, and a basic knowledge of the last 100 years or so of general world history or so should be expected of educated adults.
No offense on the steroids joke, I don't mind muscle Ike, I just prefer his lither version.
Yeah, Leif Erickson was the son of Eric the Red, and the guy who was responsible for the Vikings settling in America for a brief period, before they got chased off for giving the Native Americans cheese and skirmishing a few times.
Oh, history curriculums can vary a whole lot. I can tell you that even as a univeristy graduate, for me, Millard Fillmore only sounds like the name of a brewery.
On the FE topic: Am I the only one that actually likes RD Ike? I think his character is a nice variation from the usual FE noble/finesse archetypes from earlier games, by being both muscular and mercenary. I kinda wish Path of Radiance Ike was more designed like him, really (that may be the only thing RD does better though).
And about Leaf, thanks for that. I had completely forgotten about Leif the navigator. Everytime I read Leif (instead of the Leaf I had grown used to) I could only think of Le1f the rapper. -
18 minutes ago, Othin said:
I'm definitely going to be focusing primarily on red orbs for this banner. I imagine that gives a 3% chance of getting Ike?
Still not seeing an appeal in pulling colorless. Pulling green seems a bit silly since I already have two 5* green mages and three 5* axes, and despite their new skills, neither Soren nor Titania look that good.
Oh, how I wish Soren and Titania became good summons...
But really, I can't see them making Soren outclass (or at least compete) with Ninonuke. Titania could be like a mounted Cherche, but I guess she'll end up as more mediocre Gunther?
Please IS, prove me wrong. -

Each set of bonus heroes lasts through 2 Seasons, except the first batch, which lasted for 3.

Oh, I wonder how I completely forgot about that. So... I didn't need to rush-train Zephiel this week.
16 minutes ago, Arcanite said:FrickWell I got a 284 defense just now so I'm already set for this season heh
Just when I thought I was actually doing something cool for once in my lifeI've been getting one or two defenses every week, and normally there's one worth 284 points. Does 284 means the opposing team ragequit or something? I've been a little puzzled about it cause it's always the same number (or nearly that, as I think I saw one 285 once)
-
The arena is already open and with the last season's bonus heroes. Doesn't that mean you can try for a high score with the same line-up as last week?
Has it always been like that? -

Wait, people don't like Rebecca's Heroes art either? I mean, i can see why, but i never saw it as chibi or moe. In fact, when i first saw it, specifically Rebecca's attack artwork, my first thought was "is that the JoJo artstyle?" Of course, i realized it wasn't.
DID YOU LOOK AT HER EYES?
I'd say the reaction you got pretty much covers that topic, right?
Personally I'm not that bothered by Rebecca's art. I'd even say it looks quite nice overall (if not for that missing bowstring that can't be unseen). But on the topic of art style, I wouldn't be bothered if Yamada Akihiro drew the whole game, so... I guess I'm also too quick to associate sparkly eyes and round faces with moe/chibi style. -
18 minutes ago, Armagon said:
Now, the question is, can I get Ike? Or Mist, Soren, or Titania. I summoned a few times from the SoV Banner and failed to get a single Focus. I hope that changes here.
On a side-note, a couple of you talked about how Lachesis' Heroes desgin was bad. Am I the only one who doesn't mind her Heroes desgin?
That's gacha for you. I got Alm in my second SoV summon, and that was my first banner focus summon ever. Don't give up hope!
About Lachesis: It's horrid. Don't go there. I'm just waiting for the day when either Lachesis or Rebecca's artistchibi-cursedraws a male fan favorite. Let the rant flow.
On a side note:Armored MageBaron
best class ever -

Very true. Nino has been good to me. Though I encountered a Julia with green tomebreaker in the Arena, and that was a little dangerous. (Actually very dangerous.) But I recently got Merric, and he's always been one of my favorite characters, so I make him work for me because I love him regardless. I can't say much for Soren stat-wise, but I'm sure he'll have his niche.
Yeah. I get this. I'm a bit in the same situation since I pulled a nice Merric with +atk and all, and it still feels like... a worse 4* Nino. I hope Soren has the stats to make it into team green, cause it looks like his skills ain't helping either.
Either way this is the banner where I'll be probably burning those all orbs i've been hoarding for so long. I'll just wait for more info on the stats before going all out.

LnD3 is easier on your feathers? Isn't that avaiable only at 5*?
(If you got a sacrificeable 5* with LnD, perhaps you should save it)
I'm also having a lot of doubts on how to build Soren, but leaning towards Gronblade TAdept mainly because of OHKO's and general survivability. But this kit really benefits from +atk Soren, as you get more consistent OHKO's.
What are you planning on giving him on the B skill slot?
(and how do you people calculate these matchups anyway?)
