hi guys, a few more: 1 - erinys' weapon allows her to attack twice if her partner is near. suppose i put her as my showcase unit and some one on my friend's list uses her, just to confirm, this particular bonus from her weapon will never apply right? 2 - i noticed that several units often do not come with a support skill or even a combat special. when looking at the units i encounter in arena i see most people usually equip Reposition to their units. Between skills like Reposition, Swap, Shove, and Pivot, which would you say is the best? Obviously each has their distinct use, but from what i see, it would seem the general opinion is that Reposition is the most useful. Also, are Rally effects ever used? I just really don't think i have ever seen some use them on their units. Actually, are any other skills besides stuff like Reposition and dance skills ever used? 3 - what is the difference between glimmer and moonbow? if you have a unit with 25 atk and it's going for a unit with 30 def, then your unit would deal no damage even if glimmer triggered, correct? but moonbow would decrease that def to 20 and you would deal 5 damage. Am i right in that? I'm trying to find specials for my units who lack them, and specially something that can be paired effectively with Heavy Blade.

10 days left on the legacy banner, and i'm tempted to build up my stash with what's left of my story mode (the lunatic-difficulty part), i want just a few more merges for my erinys, but i'm also wanting that duo Sigurd too, and still don't never seen a single Gustav on the valentine's banner. well i got 2 kliff and a kjelle which feels kind bad, a kris, an eirika, and even an elisse. All along this time i have not seen anything of the other units on the banner, azelle, annand, or even lex.

I have tried to get Alfonse's dad on the Devotion banner but so far no luck, instead i have gotten one 5* skirt-alfonse, and two 4* versions of him. Pain. I tried for duo Lif and instead got two henrietta's before my two lif's. THIS FAMILY NEEDS ITS DAD. I went into the Legacy banner without knowing any of the characters, which really i can say for most of the FE games outside awakening and fates, but i really liked erinys' design, and was extremely lucky to pull her on my very first summon of the banner, she even came with a +Atk boon. I am now about 44 summons into the banner, with the spark, I got 4 copies of her, a f!Hardin, and 2 random Melady.

I think it works pretty good as it is. It's like, you never really expect to see this heroes show up unless they are on a focus banner like weekly revivals, so having them pop out in place of a tired, old 4 - 3 star unit is a refreshing. The best part is it doesn't affect the pity rate, so all is good. so far i have gotten child tiki, delthea, f!hardin, and young merc Ike.

@Ice Dragon @XRay thanks guys but ok, so if i'm just more interested in making sure the unit has the best skills it can for its particular use and i'm not actually interested in this effects to score higher in arena modes, i can just ignore this dual skills and move on right? like i enjoy playing Heroes mostly to play with the characters I like and I'm not really hard into high scoring in games modes and what not, but i do like to try to build up the units i like to the best builds i can. it would be something else if this game actually offered true pvp but that's not really on offer here. Oh, i see. definitely didn't think of it that way, but very interesting. thanks for clarifying.

stamina is strange mechanic to be honest, i don't really understand where the developers of any game that uses this mechanic are coming from, as keeping your players from playing the game seems counter productive to me, unless you imagine that limiting the amount of time players have to play equally limits the amount of in-game resources a player can make and then players may feel more pressured to invest real-world money to attain said resources and have faster access to the characters/weapons/items they want. In short, i believe it to be a mechanism to force players to spend money in the game. To make this as effective as possible, your stamina recovery is set at a slow pace and it does not reset when you turn off the game because that would defeat the purpose of it, and your game data is stored on their servers, so switching devices won't help you escape it either, lol. Paying for those limited-time banners/deals really becomes more attractive at this point since you know you know you can't farm resources consistently enough as you'll like to. But this irritates players, and in the case of Heroes, this was made plain enough to IS to the point where they give you stamina potions very frequently and it pretty much makes the stamina mechanic useless for any purpose. Why they didn't just get rid of it entirely is something i don't know. let me be clear, that is no official explanation and may be the guys here have real answers to your question, but it is a question that i have thought about myself a lot and that's the conclusion i come to without making any real research on the matter. if you just keep playing normally, participating in as many events as possible and checking your quests, you'll find that you don't really need to worry about it. you'll have enough stamina potions available at all times that it won't stop from playing the game.

hi guys, 1. I went into the legacy banner for erinys and pulled her on my very first summon (luckiest pull ever), but as i have noticed she has a certain type of skill that i have seen before on other units and i doubt its usefulness, it's her a-slot skill, and it says that her stats will be treated as a high of 175 when max level and the skill itself is maxed, supposedly so that you can get better/harder match ups on modes like arena (does it also apply to eather raids?). I have seen skills like this at least a couple other times before and i have been wondering how good exactly are these skills; i feel like a combat-based skill might do better, as in the case of erinys specfically her kit seems to be focused on high atk/spd, with low def/res. i feel it would be better to boost that atk/spd in her case. So what is the deal with this type of skills? how good are they? I don't see any one on reddit posting pictures of their amazing units using any of these sorts of skills lol. 2. lon'qu and eldigan have weapons that say they reduce their special counter by -1. when does this effect apply? during combat, every time they attack? is it a one-time effect at the start of the game? or is it a passive effect that reduces the countdown on something permanently through out the match? for example, if i have a special with a countdown of 4, instead it becomes a countdown of 3. I like both these guys so i would like to build something with them some day.

I like that they use this system to give a slight boost to older characters but to me the art is the most attracting element of this thing IS does, i think it's a great way to add value to what is otherwise a mostly lacking service aside from the features that make grinding easier. So far Eldigan is one of my absolute favorites, his design is amazing. I would like to see this sort of inspiration to keep coming (and less so like what they did for lucina which I didn't really like one bit, looks like a kid doing cosplay for a middle school play). Personally, i would like to see Lonqu, Adult Tiki, Deirdre, Itzuki, Walhart, and Micaiah, just to list a few.

hey guys, so i have been thinking, what are the most useful seals? the ones you should definitely have? im sure that depending on the class and weapon the answer varies, but for example, my main team is f!Julia, L!Julia, B!Edelgard, and the original Plumeria, plus ill like to work on Bramimond and B!Dimitri. there are a lot of seals available for crafting and im not sure what to get. im not able to clear abyssal difficulty maps yet, any tips on how i should build my team? are there general guidelines or is there a different strategy for every map?

1? i got 2 seiros on the mythic banner, both +Atk but one -spd and the other -def. If i decide to fodder one, which of the two should i keep? I don't know which of her stats would hurt most to have -3 on. 2? exactly how useful is it to merge units? I see that taking a unit up to +10 merges would probably net you +2 to all stats, with a little more for HP, but does this really mean a lot when skills are probably what carries the greater impact? Like, I feel any +10 sword unit is probably nothing when you see that Regin has that ability to hit and run away plus good atk, i thought that skill was completely broken when i saw it.

ok so after snipping for blue, i got the following: 3x dimitri (2 +atk, 1 i can't remember), 2x +atk seiros, 3x julia (2 neutral, 1+ atk), and 1x -def flayn. Got dmitri on my second roll, very lucky, but the best part of the banner was pulling two Julias on the same summon circle. This banner made me feel so much better after the nightmare of f!Ike on the fallen heroes banner, even if i can't really forget that.

Im already traumatized by this banner lol can you explain a little more about why light/astra for offense and dark/anima for defense? what is the reasoning behind this?

1. i thought so but i was just curious. and thanks for all the info. I don't know how many feathers you have right now, but you can always just rank up a 4* unit if you wish to play with an all-5* team. Another option is to just play through your Heroes Path missions, completing them will get you some free 5* units, starting with Reinhardt when you get to level 4 in the Path missions. Or you can just slot a 4* unit in your team to make it a full team, If what you want is to get fallen tiki to be more mobile you will have to spend time to level her up until she has enough SP to learn the Solitary Dream skill, equip it and like Chloe already said it will allow her to move 1 extra space, but she will have to stay on her own or be on an all-dragon team to move in a group. This is going to take some effort, mind you.

Well i don't see the ladies i want to vote for anywhere in the ladies list, and Itzuki is wayyyy to far down that list, and Walhart and lonqu are not even there. Guess i'll just join the Gatekeeper wagon. joking, joking. I can't even look at that to be honest, but if anything i just hope he doesn't end up sharing a color with another character when the banner rolls around so i can avoid him completely.

So against the better judgment, i did invest a few more orbs in this banner.....and pulled f!Ike again, Lysithia. When i first started i figure karma could try a joke on me, but now its not even funny. like, I'm betting IS has it against me or something.. You are absolutely right, this banners with multiple focus units on a single color are a complete waste. I wish there was a system to trade some 5* units you don't want for a different 5* unit, but they wouldn't be so kind. 1? About blessings, is there a tier to them? for example, are elemental blessings (fire, water, wind, earth) better than the non-elemental ones (anima, dark, light)? Is anima better than dark, or water better than fire? Or is it all only aesthetically different? 2? How do you know what your tier in Arena is? I know what tier i started with, but i can't tell if my score during a current run has been enough to increase my tier by the end of the current arena session, are tiers only calculated at the end of a season? 3? how good are resplendent units compared to their non-resplendent counter parts? thanks for your help

just in general, the version i have seen at least twice is her normal school version.

ok ok, thank you! and oh man is that website awful, i had a hard time just looking for who i wanted to vote. Do they keep a record of how the votes are going before it's over somewhere?

1. So i was pulling for F!Julia in the current banner and ended up with two copies (1 before the 40th summon and the second from the spark), how often do this banners roll around? I would like to try to +10 her and i'm debating putting more orbs into the current banner. 2. i got a few fallen ike's from the banner, which i did not want at all but i got no choice, are any of its skills good fodder? Is he a good unit i should keep? 3. Why is Lysithia so popular? Since i got my account i seen her appear like 3 times on different banners now and even ended up with a copy myself; i wish f!julia where half this popular

Hey guys, hows it going? So i have seen people mention "CYL" here and there but until now i didn't know what this was, and just yesterday i went to the page and voted once but i have a few questions now. 1? how many votes can you cast per day? 2? can you vote for a male character and a female character at the same time or are the votes not divided by gender? 3? i voted on my pc and doing so caused me to get ejected from the app on my phone, so i had to link the app to my nintendo account again, is this normal?

Hey everyone, back with more questions if you can give me a hand. 1 - ok, so i just got to rank 8 of the summoner's path and one of the little missions says "upgrade a sacred seal". I'm not very clear about these seals. I know they are not like the the a,b, and c skills units come with, so how do I get them? I see on the current tempest trials there is an "attack/speed solo 1" seal (that could be the wrong name but i think its something like that) and i know some units have an a skill named "attack/speed solo 4", if i can get that seal from the tempest trials, can i really upgrade it to that level? And how many of these seals can I have? 2. What are ephemera codes for? 3. I have a few reginns and plumerias (not the new years one) and i want to merge them, what asset should i prioritize for them, attack or speed? Reginn looks like attack would be best because of her high mobility, which i thinks makes for a hit-and-run play style, and plumeria i'm not sure; she's a magic unit so im thinking attack. What do you think is most beneficial? 4. I have a lot of 4 and 3 star units and i want to make a few merged 5* units with them. Are any of the older units worth the effort? like lonqu, lilina, fiorina, kaze, etc. 5. Are the newer 4* units worth ranking up? Knoll, Ilyana, felix, seteth, etc. 6. Are forma units worth getting? I like the tokyo units and i would like to build up tsubasa, any suggestions for what skills i should look for?

wow. you guys know your stuff. thank you all for the very detailed explanation, tbh some of it goes completely over my head but that's normal i just have not played much. For example, I really don't know the first thing about "building" units or eather raids, my in-game rank is 5 i think, i have yet to finish the book 1 story to unlock rank 6 and aether raids recommends rank 12 i think. I don't even know the character and I have never played 3 houses but I like her design a lot. How often do units or banners roll around again? I would like to try for a Sacred and Fallen Julia, and I would like a shot at some of the Tokyo Mirage units. Another question, what are differences between the blessings you can give to your units? I noticed that the Eir, Ike, and Fjorn units you get from the story have this big emblems on their pictures but are the fire, wind, water, etc. blessings I get give the same benefits as those?

That's fine, nostalgia is a strong sells tactic, but looking at how they did Shadows of Valentia with FE echoes, i really wish they would give the same treatment to this game especially given that it was the first in the series, but I know that's the same as making an all new game anyways.

Which of the ITM units would you guys say are the most useful? I had 14 orbs today and just for laughs i went to roll red and hit jack pot with Laevetin on my first pull, probably my luckiest pull in any game ever. I would like the duo Lyn though; any tips on making some quick orbs? I already played through my normal paralogues and most of the normal stuff on the story side. My best team is also too weak to attempt those monster 40+ missions.

hey guys, a few questions i got if you would help, there's a lot i don't know about the game. 1 - i have several copies of several different units and i was thinking of merging them together, see if i could make one of this cool +10 units i see others use, i don't have any atm. So my question is, if i raise a 5* to lvl 40, and i have a few other 5* copies of it at lvl 1 and i want to merge those low lvl units to my lvl 40, will the low lvl 1 units give my lvl 40 the same stat bonuses that merging multiple lvl 40s would? I don't want to grind to raise them all to lvl 40 before merging them if that is possible. 2 - What's the best way to get trait fruit? I just found out the other day that it can change the traits of your units. And how does it work? See i pulled Flayn with a resistance boon, and after raising her to 40 i realized her resistence is +5 instead of +3 over the neutral resistance stat at lvl 40, which i think is what you call a super boon? if i use trait fruit to change her boon from resistance to attack, will she lose 5 points to resistance or 3? Or will she gain +5 to her attack stat? right now her attack is 53, so 56 or 58? please tell me 58, i'll like that very much! 3 - when i look over at the friend stone on the home menu, it says i have "helped" friends 17 times. I don't remember doing any of that. So far i got only one person on my list, how do you "help" them? 4 - what is this "meta" every one keeps talking about? is there a leader board? tournaments? to be honest i hate the idea of a meta environment in a gacha game like this one, but it is what it is. 5 - are healers any good? how do you use them in your teams? I understand interactions in this game are pretty one-sided, so i guess using a healer on my team when I play is very different than having one on my "defense" team that i have no control over, right? you don't use healing to win games after all. On that topic, from what i can tell from the current summoning banners, Flayn is a very recent healer, how would you say she stacks up on current environment? I also pulled a Silque but her stats so far have been very underwhelming. I'll leave it at that for now but i'll come later when more stuff comes to mind.

yeah when i was trying to sign up there was this question "what is the title of the next FE game?" that I struggled with for like 5 minutes. I don't know what's going on with FE right now so I googled' it and found out it's "FE: shadow dragon & the blade of light", but when i tried it didn't work. I played around with spelling and the title length but i was stuck for a few minutes there, until the question was changed to "what is the system for the next FE title?" and i answered "switch" and it finally let me through. So yes, i thought (humorously) you guys were a pretty tough group to hang up with putting up a wall like that, i'm sure a guy or two with less patience than myself probably walked away after the third time trying. but it's fine, i understand why those things are up, i think. So, IS "Shadow dragon and the blade of light" the next FE? I wish it were something more impressive than a port to the eshop. And thank you all for the welcomes.
