How much can you whale to merge 3 Hectors? I imagine it's just hacking. I also haven't found info on the FEH wiki on this, but how exactly does merging affect stats? Is there a rule which stats get increased?

Hector used to be one of the two SS-rank characters with Takumi at one point, and Effie is also pretty high up there. Their advantages seem obvious - it's the ranged counter and doubling on counter in Hector's case, and preventing doubling while healthy for Effie, in addition to the obvious physical bulk of course. However, as long as I have a good sword user like Lucina or Lyn alive, I have no trouble dealing with Hectors whatsoever, and the other armours (who lack ranged counter) can be kited pretty relentless in many maps while you chip at them from 2-range in safe places or otherwise exploited. I've never once had a competent armour (well, I did use a 3-star Wendy for one reward so that I could unlock more orbs in higher ranks) that I could actually try out myself, but the biggest turn-off must be that 1-mov, which sounds like a nightmare. 2-mov is uncomfortable enough for navigation, but 1-mov just doesn't sound salvageable. I dunno if I could react to sudden changes in enemy movement in a demanding arena battle, let alone choose an armour as my defence team. That's my theory though, and Hector/Effie are high up in the tier list. So how is it in reality?

Sitting at rank 48,893 right now. Probably not going to stay for 1K feathers unless I try again and don't mess up.

Sitting at 60 orbs now, waiting for Nino/Effie focus to start using them.

So how long does it take for the arena to update your ranking? Wondering if I can get into the 1K feathers group this time.

I tried that and couldn't navigate the thing. The first Google result for version 1.1.0 (is the number iirc) was what I needed. Bluestacks still sucks for PC users, but it's the only thing that's functional and not shady (though they tend to force so many app installations down your throat to continue using the program that eventually it stops working and you have to start from scratch with a new installation).

Apparently I can't play the game on Bluestacks anymore. It forces me to "update" the game, but going to the page (there's no opting out either) gives the message "your device isn't compatible with this version". It gives the same message when I download the newest version of Bluestacks too. Not sure what the problem is...

I had a similar experience switching to a newer PC. VBA-rr now cannot record AVI without crashing, ever, and I also experience slowdown when playing on PSXfin, which was never a problem with the ancient desktop. Dolphin apparently played PoR without any slowdown at all last time I tried. So that's weird. Could be some codec stuff, or some settings needing change? I've never got the help I needed.

I'm really afraid this will still be exactly as unplayable as the original, but just nicer-looking. Really worried about the release and anxiously interested in any new information.

Aside from giving me the error that requires for the game to be reinstalled to run on Bluestacks, I've recently been getting yet another error which makes the game freeze up shortly after I start it. The last time it hit me during the new update, and I can't open Bluestacks after that at all unless I restart my PC. Upon restarting, it just freezes again. edit: oh, and sometimes it makes the app crash and close itself in Bluestacks. Fuck that too! I want to play the game!

Well, I could finally get Hector. It also allows you to get the IVs you want without having to completely restart the game for just one hero.

Instead of letting us relive Gaiden's atrocious gameplay again with pretty graphics this April, they should've made this game a proper 3DS title instead of a a phone gacha title. I've spent plenty of time on it recently, and there's definitely a lot of potential here that's being wasted. Most importantly, for a game that does one long-awaited thing right (removing the luck-based aspect of FE in the unreliability of hit, crit and skill proc rates) for a change, there's too much reliance on luck (or cashing out) to get a competent team. - Storyline extended - Remove stamina entirely - Farm desired heroes (possibly - with the right IVs) by reloading save over and over without wasting 20 orbs each time - Permit actual PvP not experienced in the series since Shadow Dragon - Expand the game to include more characters from other FE titles - More heroes obtained via quests and performing tasks than for trying your luck with the pulls

5* Lucina 4* CorrinF 5* Raven 3* Priscilla / 5* Lyn / 4* RobinM / 4* Jeorge Attemps to reroll for a brand new team at a separate new file have been even less successful.

Corrin was born to be a Malig Knight; there's your dragon lord lord lord.

Is there no way to cancel that new Ephraim n co pool of characters? Though I don't know if getting Takumi is more likely to occur in the focussed pool. tbqh I don't particularly get what is different about the focussed pool of characters.

The IV calculating min-maxing would be so much more practical if we could farm for 5 star heroes in tall grass or something. How long will it take me to get Takumi, 1 year, two? Once missions start costing 15+ stamina, good luck collecting the next bunch of 20 orbs. I guess pulling out when there's a ton of swords and little else can help conserve orbs, but I wouldn't mind getting, say, Hector, or Azura or another red sword guy...

Had Takumi on my old pt, lost the file. This time I've got Lucina, Lyn, Raven and Roy all at 5 stars, and plan to promote RobinM to 5* as soon as I get the feathers, which could well take weeks.

Is anyone else confused by the IV calculator here? https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/fire-emblem-heroes-iv-calculator It says the base range for Robin's strength is 17-19 but in the menu which unlocks hidden potential, I see only 13 atk? Or is it because +4 atk is added with the upgraded weapon? Either way, his stats look pretty bad and not within the specified range for 5-star heroes. Not that I even have the feathers to unlock 5* Robin anyway...

It won't work on my PC. :(

I get a far worse problem when trying to play the game. Nox works fine immediately after being installed, but when I open it a second time, it will try installing itself again and fail, meaning I need to spend another 20-30 minutes setting up everything from scratch. This is why I don't play the game anymore.

Thanks Horace! Anybody up to face me in a Fates parents LA, the same rules as before? I could get started on the team anytime. I'm really not sure what we can do with Heroes LA since we know so little about the game... It could be potentially fun, and maybe RNG-free? I'm not sure if skills always proc just like attacks never miss.

I guess I should do some more write-ups then (Zerkers/Generals next?) and maybe finally play a Fates game myself? If you're okay with hosting, Horace. FE4 LA didn't seem very playable when people played a couple of games of that iirc. FE5 was pretty fun with all the hax however.

Well, the original Gaidengster has been out since a lot of forum users weren't even born yet, so if that's playable at all, it could be replicated? I never tried Gaiden so I have no idea what that would be like. When we started doing Awakening LA, the game had already been out for a while. There'd been some attempts (I think from you two actually) to get the meta going, but it didn't get anywhere until I got interested in the idea (having finally bought a 3DS to play the game) and produced a lot of sheets and resource threads for discussion. While the LA needs a lot of engaged users to go anywhere, I imagine the lack of progress has much to do with me no longer having the free time / to an extent also energy to invest hours into generating resources for it to run functionally and host/play. I also believe Horace's inactivity has an even bigger impact on the stagnation since the two of us being involved meant we needed just one other dood to get a game going, and that's how things ran for a while. PKL ragequit after a while too, and I can understand him - I don't think many human beings can tolerate running calcs and typing up tons of text just to get a game done. Not much of a problem when a cat or a horse is in charge.

We haven't even got very far with Fates tbqh
