Silith13 never said she uses/cares about datamining. Maybe she does, I don't know but I think its an unfair conclusion. And I don't know the details, but can't you datamine without playing the game?

- Ephraim on my first account. It was 1:02am on the first 'day' Ephraim's thing was released. I had like 30 orbs and thought surely I could get Ephraim with that many (I was naïve and thought that was a lot). First pull...Ephraim. Unfortunately, I had to ditch that account because of poor orb-spending habits so I could really use another Ephraim focus (game, please). - Rerolled for my third account until I got Ninian and Jaffar in less than 50 orbs. Got them in 15! Still waiting for more sacred stones characters to come out so I can freak out some more.

Sain for sure. Although I cracked up when I saw Oscars eyes again. EDIT: Or maybe I should go for one of Ephraim's knights...

I actually don't think anyone should be hacking/cheating in an online game. Even if you think you're not affecting the game for others, you are. If you get caught hacking, that means more strict regulations on hacking which could mean as little as an updated terms of service I have to re-agree to or as much as applying captcha codes to this or that. Additionally, a lot of decisions for these kinds of games come out of statistics that you might be altering with your hacks (maybe Nintendo sees x% of people use this unit regularly and you're only using it because its been altered). That being said, if you could somehow get the game offline or look into the files without playing, go crazy. EDIT: And what @Silith13 said, you could hurt emulator potential.

Agreed and done. I just know that if I had included skill inheritance more, it would be like 3-5x longer and 90% of it wouldn't apply to most people. I think guides should cover the generalities and leave the specifics to guides about that certain character. I've never gotten Gronnblade(+) on Cecilia so I can't comment on it personally, but I've always been interested. It would just mean spending 20k feathers on someone whose not a cavalry unit (and one who is, 40k feathers total for just her weapon skill) which I'm not prepared to do because I'd rather upgrade another Reinhardt ATM. I certainty plan on it in the future. Otherwise, I'm kind of hoping for more green cavalry units to come in the future. I discussed skill inheritance briefly here and there but was avoiding big changes to units because that complicates things and is really only for really advanced players.

The end of summer only applies to CYL alternates. This means two things. First off, Ike will likely come in the beginning of summer or sometime in spring. It won't work for Ike like it did with Xander, they'll release the regular version first. Second, there won't be a summer Ike because it would be too close to the release of an alternate Ike. This is fantastic news for me because it means summer Eirika/Ephraim is more likely!

I've seen quite a few cavalry guides around here in the past which have inspired me to make my own. I have a separate cavalry account where I'm trying to get at least 1 of every 5* horse in the game. So far, I have Eldigan, Prinscilla, Xander, Olwen, and 3 Reinhardts. I also have some level 40 4* cavalry units that I don't think are worth the upgrade. I've used other cavalry units like Leo on my other accounts, so I know how they work as well. Cavalry Base I would argue you need two kinds of units to make an effective cavalry team - or any team for that matter. One for physical attacks and one for magical attacks. These two types should be opposing colors but they can be the same if the rest of your team is different. Having more than 2 of a single color is a very bad idea. The two golden gooses for a cavalry team are Reinhardt/Olwen and Eldigan. With these two, you can actually 'duo' most of the game and a few grand hero battles. In the latest one (Navarre), I used robin to bait a dagger unit (he didn't even do any damage that wasn't healed the next turn, just survived a hit) and Priscilla to heal him after so he could survive a second hit. Besides that, Eldigan and Reinhardt "duo'd" the entire map without needing any heals. If you have Olwen/Reinhardt and Eldigan both, you should definitely be making a cavalry team! Below is the full 'guide'. It's really more of a discussion. After that, is an estimated 'guide' that is essentially cliffnotes of my discussion. If you don't want to read a lot, just look at the cliffnotes and if you disagree with something read the justification in the full discussion. I'm also not going too in depth when it comes to skill inheritance, because quite frankly, if you're that into the game, you already know what you're doing. Just focus on goad/hone/fortify/ward slot C skills if you don't know what you're doing. Have any other team compositions I didn't mention? I'd love to hear about them. Full Cliff Notes/Summary

You'll lose slightly over 500 feathers. The last round, at least last time, gives you more feathers for winning.

I actually think Nohr vs Hoshido royals would be really interesting. However, I think Takumi would win in a landslide. Not because he's the most popular character in the bunch, but because Heroes turned him into a meme. All other battles would be good. I imagine Leo and Camilla would do quite well, but could see Xander/Hoshido being very popular as well. EDIT: Takumi v. Camilla might actually be a lot closer than I'm originally thinking. I bet next gauntlet will be echoes related.

I think you just answered your own question. It's not that people are super attracted to Camilla, revealing boobs don't create an attraction on their own but rather entire body structure as well as facial features. However, among guys, refusing to say something immature whenever they come up, is seen as a lack of maturity (in an ironic sort of way) or masculinity. That being said, I just started playing Fates and I must say, I find her to be a decent character. Similar to Felicia, I actually really like her character but hate her design (why did you have to make it weird with the Japanese maid outfit?). She kind of acts like a little sister but is much older than, say, elise which creates an interesting dynamic between her and your character. What I'm saying is, the hype and hatred of Camilla revolves around those who can't risk their masculinity and those who hate that she is seen as the ultimate female form. For this reason, I've seen a lot of females who like her, as well as people like me who don't care either way. Depending on how her character progresses, I could end up liking her and ignoring her character art. I disagree with this specifically. Xander has both spring and nonspring forms coming up but he can't be in a focus yet because his base character does not exist. Leo had a voting gauntlet as well, although never had a focus at the beginning of the game for him. Elise is just the ordinary 'characters sister' that no one cares about. Rather, I would say IS is favoring the Nohr royals over the other. Aside from Takumi being OP

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get 20orbs (one full pull) when this banner is released. For some reason, we got quite a few for the Nintendo Switch which I'll never understand considering its going to be a long while before FE games are released on there.

Just saw someone using a sp!Camilla with Renewall 3, Noontime, and Green egg. I guess s/he really didn't want his/her Camilla to die.. It seems pretty effective, though. I still think Takumi killer Camilla is better, however.

I think Minerva will actually have a chance against Camilla. At the end it won't be Camilla v. Minerva supporters but rather Camilla v. Camilla Haters. I don't know, I feel like theres a sizable hatred towards her.

Can someone explain how this works, I never quite understood it last time. Why exactly is the "current rank" and "cumulative" different. We've only had one round, is that rank based on all ongoing battles not just yours or...? And are they, like arena, updated every hour?

Yea my point is I've been paired with people on Team Minerva who have a green rep whose not Minerva. You shouldn't be doing this because most people are running Minerva and I keep getting team comps like: Minerva Minerva Some-Other-Green-Unit

Everyone on team Minerva please check to make sure you don't have a green rep (unless its Minerva). I've been paired with spring chrom 3 times...and theres no spring chroms on my friends list.

According to the internet it should still have it under settings->users->create guest profile

Not sure if this is a meme, but it sure feels like one: http://i.imgur.com/sKuLY9X.jpg

Ah, perfect. I have actually been googling around for a very long time. I should have just looked at this site xD Still doesn't have all of them though. I don't think I'll be getting echoes for quite some time, so I may need to skip this focus. Still waiting for sacred stones banner. MIght grab Lukas cause he looks cool. Leon as well, if he's good enough.

Does anyone have a labeled character art compilation for echoes? I've seen the comparison but it doesn't tell me who the original characters are.

Are you on Nougat? Try this, maybe it's not just the pixel. "Guest profile: In the same area (Settings > Users) you can create a Guest profile. While it is setup, you'll get the option to access as a guest from the lock screen." Let us know if it works, I'm sure a lot of people would be very happy to get FEH working on multiple devices. And I'm just going to throw it out there, if you're on iOS sorry, not gonna work.

Yes, technically in the wyvern banner if you don't care what you get, you should open greens as often as you can. I still don't recommend this approach, however. EDIT: Actually, my apologies I just looked at the wyvern banner for the first time (didn't really care about it). You should only be pulling green orbs if you're using the wyvern banner because all focus characters are green. If you want another color you should consider summoning from a different focus for sure. If you are still planning to summon for any/all 5*s you should definitely not be using this focus. You should be using one that has 1 of each color or the closest to that you can get so you can maximize your pulls.

I remembering being in your predicament and arriving at this answer before I got my new phone. But, yea I've done a lot of research and haven't seen any other successful method. It seems the pixel is the only phone capable of doing this without rooting. I know there are rooted applications that claim to allow you to download two of the same app, but you're basically turning your phone inside out by making two versions of android on other devices. Before I got my new phone, I used emulators for one account and my phone for another. Personally, I don't know why this isn't included in all phones. I think the pixel's "Multiple Accounts" thing is a little silly (it's technically designed for parents giving their phones to their kids and wanting them to have seperate apps for playing games at the dentist's). But, why can't I just choose to download two copies of the same app? You can do it on a PC, why not a phone? For example, if I had two youtube accounts with separate subscriptions I could have two copies of the youtube app for each account.

Life and death happens on the unit before you even go into battle. It affects the stats directly. So yes, it stacks with Threaten skills, but you won't see/notice life and death because its already been configured in the stats. Threaten def won't affect your own units, if that's what you're asking in the second sentence. Threaten defense happens at the start of the enemies turn to all units within two spaces of your unit.

Summoning for 5*s is more for personal attachment with certain characters more than anything. There are plenty of OP 4* units you can get to 5* (Kagero) pretty quickly. Additionally, some units like Hinata are extremely valuable because of their skill inheritance. I don't ever recommend 'going for 5*s'. If there's a 5* focus unit you have personal attachment to, spend ALL your orbs trying to get it. Going for random 5*s is never a good idea because most 5*s have some 4* that can mimic it pretty well with skill inheritance. I've ditched my first account because I realized that of the 8 5*s I had, I cared about 2 of them. My cavalry account has 5 5*s that are all horse units that I wanted. Guess which account I like more?
