link arena Fire Emblem Link Arena Discussion Topic

[Espinosa]

Yeah, iirc it was a mess that was quite difficult to finish.

Could be fun to try out with the hyperoffensive FE13 gen 1 meta, though that's far from the only hyperoffensive meta that we have...

[Elieson]

In fe7 they did, when sold and tallied for funds ranks. I think they deserve a value

[AnonymousSpeed]

So piggybacking off the idea for a set money amount for GBA game Link Arenas

How would you guys feel about Legendaries getting a numerical value we set as well. Making them a bit harder to all have at once, of course money values would be a bit tricky to think of a cap for us to all have.

Also has anyone done the age old 1v1v1v1 Link Arena format before?

Eh, I'm not sure how I feel about Legendary's getting a value. They're definitely powerful weapons, yes, but since each side gets them and most is not every weapon type does as well, there probably isn't a huge need.

1v1v1v1 sounds like utter chaos, which in turn sounds great, but like such a nightmare to host...

Wasn't I going to fight Sabers in FE13? I don't remember how that went.

Yea, I don't think we have anybody to host it yet though.

[General Horace]

I could host it I guess.

[AnonymousSpeed]

I believe that was the issue left to settle.

Gen1 Maxes it was, yes? One renewal per team or just allow them all? You can actually make a team where everyone has renewal in Gen1.

I could host it I guess.

Didn't you wish to take a break though? I wish not to pressure you good sir.

[General Horace]

i didn't host anything for almost a week, I just wanted a break for a couple of days.

I'm only hosting an fe4 game right now which is entirely brainless to host so i'm good for this one.

[AnonymousSpeed]

Oh, well then, a break from the brainless, eh? I'll send a team in once I have it, now to make a gimmick team because I can.

Did we find a host for FE6?

[Jedi]

If I had ANY confidence in calculations I'd host FE6 but..

[Elieson]

I did a FE13 Mirenewal team already, yo.

It failed :(

[Zerosabers]

Yea that's correct, I'd say go with 1 renewal per team.

So you're going to host general? I'll send in a team once I've got it typed out.

[General Horace]

elie's made excel sheets for fe6 that does all the work for you (I think, I haven't actually downloaded it to test it yet), so hosting wouldn't be too hard.

and yeah, just toss me a PM with your teams when you guys are ready.

[Jedi]

Oh I'll talk to Elie maybe about that.

[Espinosa]

Pavis/Aegis > Miracle

'Cause most classes take quite a few kills before they succumb to all the punishment while you usually have a shot at clinging to life only once.

[AnonymousSpeed]

I did a FE13 Mirenewal team already, yo.

It failed :(

But did you also have Cherche, Kellam, Libra, the Avatar and Lissa with renewal on the same team?

Yea that's correct, I'd say go with 1 renewal per team.

Probably a good idea, to prevent a situation like the above.

Really? Come on, I've been doing this all by...self, I guess...

Did we find out if Bond stacks?

[General Horace]

Uhh, I dunno about bond stacking, i'm guessing it probably does ingame, but bond is limited to one per team in Link Arena.

[Zerosabers]

I'm fairly certain bond doesn't stack in game.

[Espinosa]

Does anybody have a way to check? You know, out of academic interest.

[Elieson]

@Anon, yea

I'm fixing a small bug (involving teams with the same named unit) which I'd prefer to point out to you, but I'll actually have that released tomorrow. If u try it tonight, you need Excel. Also, just temporarily remove the unit from Blue side, that shares the same name as the unit on Red side. It's dumb but excel is dumb.

Posting a note for myself: Death Check Button

I might even do a YouTube video for it.

Fe7 will involve adjusting numbers for Reavers, (easy) adding in S-rank handling (easy) and adjusting Data overall, which will just take time.

I accidentally coded in the Iron Rune and it doesn't even exist in fe7. Is there a Delphi/fili/iote shield in fe6? M

[Zerosabers]

If nobody else can check I'll rush through on normal casual with a +def avatar

[Espinosa]

Yeah, there's a Delphi Shield in FE6.

[General Horace]

There's a Delphi Shield in FE6

I could check ingame later on tonight WRT Bond. I've never used it, so I wouldn't know.

[Espinosa]

A lot of votes towards a Galeforce ban on the poll. Thoughts?

I think Vengeance is superior still. The two together are a deadly combo however, but not so easily accessible in the 1st gen.

[General Horace]

I definately think Vengeance is a better skill. There's a chance that Galeforce will do absolutely nothing, and sometimes it's not even a good idea to take your second attack.

I don't think it needs to be banned. Jedi's Cordelia just got put in a really advantageous situation, which probably could have been avoided.

Most of the Galeforce units kinda suck anyway (Sumia, Lissa, and Maribelle are all pretty bad, I guess Sumia is useable though, she does get pavise/luna at least) and Olivia/Say'ri aren't anything special either. Robin and Cordelia are pretty good though.

Edited July 16, 2015 by General Horace

[Espinosa]

If one of you could check how Bond really works, that'd be great. No reason to restrict it to one per team if multiple of these don't stack, even if the effect is essentially the same in the end.

Does Galeforce have any place on a Sorc, you think? Cordelia and Aversa both have access to that. Aversa arguably makes the better Sorc, but they have their specifics.
