Just out of curiousity, what happens if you have a +10 5* unit and suddenly decide you want a different IV? Can you still merge just to change the IV?

On Thuesday I should pass 100k. Never had that many feathers at one time. Didnt even complete any feather related CC. I have to use them wisely. These are the option that I think about: 1. Making my Nino+1 into +4 - sounds expensive and boring 2. Giving my Fae lightning breath+ - wonder if regular lightning breath wouldnt be enough, though. 3. Fivestarring my +atk-Fredrick and sacrificing my second Raven for brave axe+ - better if I had a Cherche, due to hunting for Azura, I have enough green units anyway for now 4. Checking out Arvis and fivestarring him 5. Making my Olivia into +1 and raise the arena score by maybe 1 point. She is my regular dancer. 6. Making Reinhardt+1 into +2 - doesnt give him too much as it will rise his spd and def, well 1 point arena score Upgrading fae and fredrick and maybe Arvis seem to me the most interesting options. Will see.

Despit a couple of mistakes mostly due to the new system, two bad calls at choosing armies, I managed to grab 8.8k feathers - thats more than 2k less than last time. Did I ever mention I hate VG?

This might be skill related... I was thinking about partnering Nino up with somebody, and give that somebody hone spd from Eirika. However, I am not sure who. Would a dancer be the best option? Somehow I suppose so but the I am losing out hone atk. Maybe Ike?

Its not necessarily like that. I beat minerva bhb infernal with what you might call top tier units. Somebody on this forum posted a vid with 4* units. There is lots of options if you try. If you think about skill inheritance, it has made lower ranked units better and some top tier units like Takumi arent great anymore. Its an ongoing meta-changing experience. Like I said before, it would be boring if new content could always be beaten with one and the same team

Paralell universes or time teavel could make it work

The askr trio should be added to the 3/4* pool, with added boons and banes. As for grand heroes, I think its a way for IS to provide us with events, even if they are just re-runs. Adding them to the pool would make reruns obsolete. But for how long are they gonna milk those reruns?

Dancers were the reason why I spent money on this game and bought 9orbs packs. Now I have 5 dancers - 7 would be better, though. But you are right the game has certain limitations in regard to gameplay. There is only so much you can do uf you have to stick to 8x6 maps and 4 unit teams. It seems to me at times that thias game is less about the gameplay and more about collecting and 'crafting' units for specific purposes. With each new powercreep unit the meta changes and you have to re-craft and adjust your units to be able to counter them.

A. Powercreep is inevitable. Its pure selling technique. You have to provide a better product as an incentive. It is coming slowly but its coming. Probably one unit per banner at the time. C. Probably because of TT. We get Ayra for free. Better this way than no free unit. You are right the game is getting female dominated. I like it☺ D. Most of the time the worst units get demoted. From time to time they should demote a great unit. I can only wish ----- Started saving up orbs - so my maximum pull here will be 15 orbs - might as well just be the free pull

Oh cool, thanks. Just checked her up. Apparently she will be the next TT free unit.

Damn, I just realized Arvis is apparently a sword unit. Wasnt he supposed to be a red mage?

I would like the mage but I will be saving up orbs. Gonna do one full summon - and thats it! Three units again? Is this Tempest Trials related? Arvis as fourth bonus unit from GBH? I hope so!

Depends on the bonus unit. My team this week is Ike+1, Reinhardt +1, BowLyn and dancer. Next season I will probably choose Sharena. Of course I promoted the whole askr trio. Arena Assault is a little bit trickier, its only now that I have full 5* teams. Before I ran a mix of 4 and 5 star units. Current run: 4806 points

That would mean that it should be possible to be able to use 2* units to clear any map or challenge. Lets be real, if that was possible SI would make no sense. This is still an rpg, not action game, it has certain rules. You cannot expect to go in with 4 red sword lords and clear a map with blue units.

No they are not. In regard to your previous post from the stale topic. Its obvious that if you start game that has been running for months you cannot anticipate to get everything done at once. Impossible. Even in arena you have to climb up the ladder to get 4 weekly orbs. Took me 9 weeks to get to tier 20 - was rather easy imo. Staying in tier 20 is a different matter, though. I dont want the game to stay at the same difficulty level. Thats what makes it get stale in the first place and would be equally bad for both seasoned f2p and whale players. To cut a long story short, if its too hard try harder or wait until you get stronger. This month was the first time btw that I was able or even try to comple the armored unit quest - just because I got effie and BK and used two lv20 sheenas. I didnt complain about not being able to do it before because of a lack of units.

Just an advise F2p is a challenge. You dont need +10 units to be successful. Dont rely too much on orbs. They will always be sort of limited. Minor orbs purchases wont necessarily help at all. True I have been lucky with some pulls and some IVs. But its not about the orbs for me, its about the feathers. The more feathers you can get the more units you can upgrade and merge. I got more than 10 ninos. My +spd-def Nino is +1. One day I will get her to +5 or maybe even +10. Thats a lot of work imo but if it works out its gonna be cool and I will be proud of it. But thats very long term. There are other 'f2p' (available at 4 or 3* that is) units that can go a long way like Reinhardt, Cordelia, Cherche, Effie that can be upgraded, merged and made powerful. Grand Heroes like Xander or Camus are great as well and hopefully be back soon. Summonings are RNG based you can spend a lot f2p or p2w orbs and still not get good units. So the few orbs you have been missing out so far wouldnt have necessarily made a change. This game is like a marathon - have patience, put in some work and you will get all the orbs pretty soon.

No offense, but which orbs havent you been able to get. I was f2p for over two months since I started and just caved in because I got obsessed over getting Azura - all dancers respectively - so I bought nine 23 orbs packs on Thuesday - wouldnt exactly make me a whale. Sometimes it might be more difficult but thats the challenge. I am currently tier 20 next week I am gonna be tier 19 again. There is no orbs difference just feathers. Jumping between tier 18 and 19 shouldnt be too hard. BLYN is a very powerful unit - accessible for free to anyone. The black knight is powerful - grinding to 30k shouldnt be a problem. Of course it might all depend on your roster but even then I believe that you can get most orbs. If at all, we are talking maybe 5-10 orbs that are hard to get. I have been able to get all orbs recently. Still got some chain challenges and squad assault to complete though but those arent time limited. I dont really think this game caters that much for whales or that benefit from any extra orbs that are locked from the rest of the ocean.

You are definitely right. On the other hand I think that both skills have their merit as units ing GHB/BHB infernal tend to have inflated stats and high res is pretty common, I guess thats the exception to the rule. In regard to Tempest Trials I like to run Blazing Thunder with quickened puls. Its really fast to charge up and carries over to the next level. Carefully timed I could one shot the Black Knight at the beginning of the level with Reinhardt on lunatic 7. Guess all strategies that work are good in the end.

Sounds like a very tough game mode.Only the fittest of the fittest would survive infernal. Seems you are partial to coins and seals. I would like to see some more interactivity within game modes. Dont know how it could be done though. Difficult maps where you can change your team or at least some units. Story modes with 'larger' maps, for example a grand hero battle, where you have to traverse a forest road spanning three to four maps until you reach a castle where the grand hero battle proper is located.

Thanks for the inspiration with Frederick. Matter of fact I do have a Frederick - and he is +atk-res, which seems to be a preferred nature. Guess I will postpone my decision to merge raven a little bit and check this Frederick guy out.

This whole brave axe thing has got me thinking and put it me in a state where I dont know what to do next. First of all, giving brave axe to cherche is really the best option - but I dont have her anymore - sacrificed for pivot - one of my bigger mistakes, it may take time until I get her, and the question is really, will she be +atk. On the other hand, since this is my second Raven, if I merge them he will be +1, thats not much of an upgrade, but I happen to have pulled 5 other ravens, one of them is even +spd-hp, which seems to be the best nature for him - with fury and spd+3 seal he should have 39spd which might enable him to quad some units. And what am I supposed to do with 5 Ravens anyway. Sounds good on paper - however, Raven is generally considered worse than Cherche in most tier lists, so I am not sure if this is a character worth investing - he might even not be future proof. What would you do?

Actually, I feel sort of reliefed :) The worst thing was running out of orbs and estimating how many orbs that I might collect until this LIMITED banner runs out. Actually I wanted all of them, ESPECIALLY Azura, and I got all of them. So I dont feel bad about it. Actually, it could be worse, I might have spent lots of dough and still havent gotten her - that would be devastating. I dont think, I am set on anything in regard to this game anymore. I certainly dont feel the need to buy more orbs, or try to get an Azura+10 :). Now its back to saving up orbs again, and just play the game as is. Buying orbs will remain an option and like you said, its a game that I like and will be playing for a very long time (hopefully). BTW Azura is awesome, even with -spd, her +atk makes up for that!

My free pull on the Minerva banner was a 3* Bartre - sent home right away Guess, free pulls is the only thing I will be doing from now on, except maybe some new hero banners...

Thanks! I might have to think about cherche. Just sacrificed her for pivot but she should come back one day!

You are kidding! That was steins gate? Changed a lot! One of my favorite shows, as my avatar would suggest. Never had a system to play it on. So its coming out Switch? Wow! Interesting!
